The parking garage Stravos was at was named the Guftason Parking Garage (named after Wade Guftason).

I really, really love the attention to detail in this show. I was a bit worried about the direct references to the movies, but they've all been really good so far.

Wow. That was a great episode.

I'm one of those people that doesn't understand the raining fish. Can someone explain?

Look up Fish Falls, and researcher Charles Fort.

Phenomenon when, during storms, fish, frogs, etc, can be sucked up into the atmosphere by water spout/wind/tornado, and dumped miles away still alive.

Also see: Sharknado!

God damn what a great episode. I love this show so much. I really wish I waited until the season was over before I started watching it, because waiting a week between episodes is deadly.

What? So...the blizzard caused them to fall out of the sky? That whole scene totally went over my head as to how plausible something like that could actually be.

Fish seem to be a running motive. Rewatching episode four, a bunch of hot girls pop up on the police computer for reasons still unexplained. But, rewatching it, I noticed they are all holding extremely large fish. Has this been explained yet?

And the guy in the trunk who froze to death in his panties was staring at a fish screensaver when Lorne Malvo grabbed him and dragged him out by his tie.

And this newest episode started with the fish being gutted and fried.

Definitely wasn't expecting an episode of The Last of Us tonight. That was quite an eventful last half, blizzard included.

Lester sure has shown himself to be more mentally deranged than expected. The plan to get out of the hospital was brilliant. For something that seemed like he thought it up on the whim, it worked well for him. Framing his brother and then planting a gun on the son is beyond fucked up. There could be some seriously bad consequences with that.

Malvo appears to be invincible..

That can't be the last of Solverson. It can't be.

Bob Odenkirk also has a giant fish on his wall. Watch him be behind all this lol.

EDIT: Rewatched episode four, and noticed when Malvo is standing atop the supermarket after the locusts, a plane flies by overhead. Makes me think this could be foreshadowing the "Plane dropped all the dead fish" theory.

Just caught the rerun.

Holy hell. What a show.

Really hope Molly is just wounded. Despite his ridiculous incompetence, I still want Gus and Molly to end up together.

I thought of the plane theory, but it's A) winter and B) there was no fire around for a plane to drop water on. My bet is the mega storm theory.

Just watched. A lot of payoffs and cliffhangers in this episode, easily the most hectic one. A few leaps of logic as usual with Lester's hospital escape, CG fish, and magician Billy Bob, not to mention Molly just running off on her own and weirdly walking back silently so Tom Hank's son could shoot her silhouette. Real interesting developments are afoot. Liked the nod to the original film with the parking lot scene.

How much liberty are they taking with events here? Every episode, my wife is like " how can all of this be part of a true story?". We're one behind right now.

It's just not.

That's a quotation from the 1996 movie Fargo, where that line was also used at the beginning but wasn't true either. A joke, you might say.

Ah, I see. We never saw the film. I knew the characterization and timing of events had to be fudged, but it was starting to get nutty.

"Some roads you shouldn't go down. 'Cause maps used to say, "It rains fish here." And now they don't. That doesn't mean the fish don't rain there."

Based on a true story.
The events depicted in this film took place in Minnesota in 2006.
At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed.
Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.

puuuulease.

great show though.

I am gonna miss Mr. Numbers and his friend :( Their scenes were so damn hilarious together. It was just so funny seeing a mute criminal communicating with sign language. Simply genius.

But we see that Hess was connected to way bigger fish than we originally thought. I think the next assassin is going to be the Irish dude with super heavy accent. Looking forward to his interaction with Malvo. Malvo is a total force of nature. He has the entire town beat.

You aren't meant to take that seriously.
