Great episode.....next week's finale is gonna be fantastic.
I'm already looking forward to season 3.....can't wait.
How lucky has Milligan been?...and the same goes for Peggy & Ed....wow, talk about fortuity.
I feel bad for Lou though. After he goes through all that stuff, he still has yet to found out what happened to his wife.

Those UFO's though.....real crazy shit.
I was reading about some of the reported sightings of them in the 1970's, and hadn't realized what a hotbed of activity Minnesota was for that back then. Interesting.

Peggy is not lucky, she is realized. That is a bummer about Lou's wife.

Last time I posted in this thread. I said season one was better. I realize now that I was wrong.

C'mon, taking a leak in a pool is flat out wrong. A desk drawer? Not so much.

So much good this week. The look on Floyd's face when she knee something was up right before......

Um...

OK.

That was a thud. GREAT season, but wow. What a horrible finale.

Really? I thought it was pretty solid. Sort of follows the recent blueprint of top notch cable shows, all the action is in the 2nd to last episode, last one ties it all up.

I thought the tie in to season one was nicely done.

Paid some attention to the 'meaning' while poking fun at 'meaning.'

I thought that the finish for Milligan was cribbed a bit too much from 'The Shield.' But still solid.

LOL

I was thinking of The Shield as well.

I didnt really see any wrap up. The Injun left to the Middle East. Milligan was put in a cell. "Your Mother" didnt die yet. Sam is a crazy old coot. The injun cook gets a boatload of cash. Crazy chic ponders the plight of the modern woman while heading to the clink.

Meh.

What kind of ending were you expecting? Them doing the Kessel run in the space-ship and curing the wife's cancer?

:)

At any rate, the 'ending,' imo, was summed up in the dialogue between the babysitter and the wife, and the cop and crazy lady in the squad car.

You protect your own, and do what you can in the time you have.

Some come out the other side, (the Nam helicopter pilot), some don't. (the Butcher and the entire Solverson clan)

Some endings are satisfying and have justice. (the Solverson's future)

And some aren't. (Hanzee walks away)

I'm still trying to decide whether 'Friendo' was deliberate or not, a wink to the purposefully unsatisfying ending to 'No Country for Old Men.'

I thought the finale was solid....I liked the existential aspect...all the ironies, metaphors, symbolisms, and the way it depicted how inevitable and interconnected everything can become based on a random event and the actions/reactions that ensue....

It sets up nicely for season 3's run.

Loved it. Really liked Noreen and Betsy. Glad Hank lived.

Sad Peggy was a victim :(

At first i kinda agreed but then it brought me back to my thoughts right after the epic 9 shootout. Where can the finale go? No more Gerhardts so no need for Milligan.

So they wrapped it up. Made Hanzee tie into S1 as the handler of Mr. Numbers and Mr. Wrench(kids on baseball field being bullied).

Liked the finale. Solid finish to an excellent season.

In bummer news though, series creator Noah Hawley announced today Season 3 isn't coming till 2017. :(

Nope on the movie and show having anything to do with one another.

See the movie. Its the shit.
There are actually tie ins with the movie too. I was waiting for some in season 2, but couldn't find any. However, in season 1...

Stavros Milos, the supermarket owner who originally hired and went on to get conned by Malvo, Came upon his fortune by accidentally finding the money that Carl buried along the fence next to the road.

Why are you fakin the funk, homey? Or have you finally seen the error that you once wallowed in and realize TWBB was and is the superior piece of work?

Heh. No way, no how. The ending was supposed to be unsatisfying, because that was the moral/meaning of the whole story.

On a side note, LUTHER is back on!

What do you mean? Luther is back on? As in a new season? New episodes? New Alice?
