Holy shit, this show. WOW.

Malvo reciting his questioning to dress good, feel good Lester. only for him to crumble once again in that instance and ultimatily prove how much of scumbag he is again at the end.

Amazing television.

 

[amnesiac]

My god. I think that was one of the best episodes of anything I have ever watched. So intense.

 

[Enco]

Anyone catch the no country for old men reference? "friendo", even by the same actor from the movie.

Didn't Anton say that?

He's not in this show?

 

[squidyj]

Lester needs to lose..... just not to Malvo.

 

[Grinchy]

I'm kinda hoping Lester wins in the end. Watch all the good guys die and the show ends with Lester winning the lottery.

 

[Enco]

I would rather see Malvo die than Lester.

 

[Hatchtag]

#TeamMalvo
I want the show to keep hinting that he's a supernatural being without ever proving or disproving it. For that to happen, he can't die.

 

[Fix The Scientist]

I hope something interesting happens with Molly next week, she's become so boring in the second half of the season.

 

[Dennis]

Malvo has "wings" of blood when we see him standing at the elevator.

Malvo says "since the Garden of Eden"

Malvo is a Fallen Angel.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Lester took a page from Walter White this episode...

 

[Lord of Castamere]

She'll still be alive if they had gotten with a nice guy. Women need to learn.

 

[Linius]

I wouldn't have thought Lester would even sacrifice his new wife. Damn, he's pure evil.

 

[Ser Goje]

This episode was intense.

I don't even want to think about the finale.

 

[ZeroX03]

C'mon Lester! You can make it out alive!

Malvo's lines were top notch as usual. Especially the one about losing the 100k bounty but still, "the look on his face when I pulled out the gun. Classic, huh?"

 

[sun-drop]

Lester took a page from Walter White this episode...

Please, Walter wouldn't do that shit.

Lester is a snivelling little shit, has been the whole way through...why would anyone root for him?

I felt sorry for him to start with, the shiity wife etc, but with that personality becoming more apparent... He had what he deserved. The events since have wrongfully moved him up the foodchain, but that inbalance will hopefully get corrected soon..

Ever since the first episode I've been reminded a bit of Needful Things
Lester and his wife, the hammer, the followup phone call was all very similar to that.

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Didn't Anton say that?

He's not in this show?

I meant the guy who played Woody Harrelson's boss or whoever he was in NCFOM when he asked Woody's character, "What would you compared Anton Sugar to?"

 

[Intheflorsh]

Please, Walter wouldn't do that shit.

He pretty much did exactly the same thing in one episode with his neighbor. Of course, there were no assassins in his case.

 

[ZeroX03]

Please, Walter wouldn't do that shit.

No, he'd just

Spoiler

poison a child

. He's a class act.

Lester has the respect for the audience not to let either of his wives live long enough to annoy us to death. He does in episode one what Walt couldn't do over five seasons. And then he did it again last night!

 

[Purple Cheeto]

That scene between Malvo and Molly's dad was so intense. I just kept waiting and hoping it wouldn't go bad.

Lester is scum. They set you up to think maybe he will at least say "I love you" to his new wife before sending her to die but nope.

 

[Slacker]

That was a hilarious fast one pulled on the audience. We think he wants one last moment with her in case things go wrong, and then, "Put yer hood up, it's cold out there!" I quoted Malvo: "Well shit, Lester."

I liked his new wife though. Didn't think she was annoying at all.

 

[forgeforsaken]

It was especially cold of Lester after she bailed him out with the cop too.

Whatever happened to the grocery king? Did they just drop that story line after the fish?

[Grinchy]

I wonder what Lester's next move is. How can he explain the death of his second wife taking place in his own business?

 

[GodParticle]

Lester is ice cold haha

 

[Mogwai]

Going to watch episode 9 tonight.

Haven't been this hyped since Breaking Bad.

Walt

Spoiler

did the same exact thing in the s4 finale when he Gus' men were after him, he sent his neighbor into his house first to make sure it was safe. The only difference is that Walt's neighbor managed to survive.

 

[Tubie]

What an incredible episode! New Lester ended up screwing himself over in the end haha.

 

[Cro-Magnon]

Kind of a History of Violence quote, maybe?

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Haven't seen the movie so I can't compare. But man I was scared for Molly's dad.

Also Malvo's fake wife was hot, I forgot to check the credits for her name.

 

[HuskerDutheDu]

There was a really cool switch in the conversation between Molly's dad and Malvo, when Molly's dad kinda stood up for himself. Like I started off thinking "Oh I hope he's okay" and then it switched to "Damn, Malvo's gunna get it."

 

[dead souls]

Great episode. Lester is such a delightfully slimy character. He's a true joy to watch.

Slowly catching up on this show, I'm on episode 4 and still don't know if I like it or not. :/

 

[Mogwai]

Just watched episode 9. I'm speechless.

Spoiler

Malvo leaving that father and his two children after that speech was just epic. That bastard would really steal candy from children if he could.

You are right on the cusp of the show going into overdrive. Stick with it.

 

[Opto]

Jesus, Lester, you full son of a bitch fuck.

Malvo is the ultimate troll

 

[Halo 2]

Malvo is a great villian, because I'm instantly happy every time he smiles.

True, but Walt's neighbor wasn't his wife who just lied to the cops for him and professed how she always had a crush on him.

 

[Joni]

Lester is an idiot. Why even talk to the murderous guy?

 

[Salvadora]

Something that hasn't been mentioned enough is the soundtrack.

It's sublime.

 

[Mr. Saturn]

Yeah that's true, I think what Lester did was worse, just because it was his wife and she was actually killed, both events are similar in that they show both characters are cowards who like to pretend they're tough.

Joni, I think Lester talked to Malvo because he wanted to prove he wasn't a pushover anymore. Of course that turned out be a huge mistake.

 

[Effnine]

So 46 minutes of commercials then? Loving this show but damn the breaks were relentless tonight.

If you're not using a DVR, then you're doing it wrong ... another amazing episode, though

 

[Effnine]

Lester is an idiot. Why even talk to the murderous guy?

He was on an ego high ... I was kind of hoping Malvo would just continue to fuck with Lester for an extended period of time (maybe years) ... just randomly showing up outside or around town, but never actually confronting Lester ... that would be more evil than just a quick shot to the head ... Living in constant fear and stress would be more deserving ...
