Fargo (FX) TV Show • Page 18

Hahaha you actually made me laugh

 

I just started re-watching season 3 because the last couple months have been a bit hectic and I had forgotten bits and parts (watching a lot of shows at once doesn't help). I have a couple questions that i'm not sure have been answered or just aren't supposed to be answered. I guess my main question would be that when Vargas lets Emmit and Sy know why they'll be "partners" moving forward, why did Emmit never think it was suspicious to receive such a big loan without any interest or anything in return? For someone who runs a legitimate business, this should've/would've raised red flags everywhere, no? Why didn't Emmit go to a bank if he was the established parking lot king of Minnesota and ask for a loan? Why go to a skectchy loan shark (?) IF he wasn't doing anything illegal with his business? I really don't know if these are the right or important questions i should be asking, but it's just something i started thinking watching the season premiere again last night

 

In my opinion, Season 1 was the greatest. I think Season 3 might be my second favorite. All of them have been great.

 

May be a little greed but I think it's just mostly sheer stupidity. The characters in all the seasons of Fargo have had a major lack of common sense.

 

Emmit and Sy didn't know that they wouldn't be expected to pay the loan back with interest when they got it. Remember, they spend their first meeting with Varga trying to get him to just take the money back. Also, they didn't really know the true nature of the Varga's business when they made the deal; it seemed to me that they assumed it was some sort of venture capitalist firm or something like that, not a loan shark or a criminal enterprise. In addition, and I could be wrong, but didn't they also say something about how, at the time, their business was struggling and they couldn't get a bank to give them any money, so they thought a private investment firm was a good idea?

 

Yeah I'd have to go back and watch again, but they for sure stress a couple of times how desperate they were for the money. Why the bank wouldn't loan them money, I'm unsure. Could be attributed to a few different feasible things, but my guess is it probably has to do with the huge amount they needed. Wasn't it a few million dollars? Banks normally just don't hand that kind of money out haha.

Also, I'd venture to say that Sy and Emmit are both fairly bright (but frail) guys that probably let their business egos get in the way of their judgement when trying to maintain their stature.

 

Didn't they get in touch with Varga through one of their friends/business acquaintances? Maybe the guy vouched for him or something

 

It was a lot of money and I also am pretty sure they said that their credit was either bad or already maxed out at the time because the business wasn't doing well or something like that.

Yeah, they were introduced by that guy Ehrmantrout they talked about a bunch at the beginning of the season.

 

I hope Nikki gets a piece of pie at the end of this

 

Finally all caught up.

The last two eps were fucking amazing.

 

Preferably cherry, with some damn fine coffee to wash it down.

 

I could have sworn last week's was episode 10, so I'm really excited that I get to see one more.

 

I'm both excited and sad that this ends tonight.

 

I'm sad that I probably won't get a chance to watch till Friday night/Saturday morning.

Being behind on both Better Call Saul and Fargo finale's are going to be anxiety city

 

I've always been a few days late this season but I'll be trying to find every stream late tonight

 

So far so fuckin awesome haha

 

"He's a kitten now, Ray. In case you were wondering."

"...what?"

 

Getting some serious No Country For Old Men vibes at Gloria constantly being one step behind all the carnage, always arriving after it's already over.

 

well that bummed me out.

 

WHAT. AN. ENDING.

That was perfect.

 

I still want another season, but that ending works pretty well for the entire show

 

Also between this and The Leftovers, now there's two shows that end with the audience left to interpret whether Carrie Coon is telling the truth

 

Mmmm that last scene was delicious.

 

Goddamn what an ending. Stunned me at first but it's quickly sinking in now that it really is the perfect way to end this season.

 

My recap is now live! ‘Fargo’ season 3, episode 10 recap: Here comes trouble

What a season. What an ending. Glad I'm currently watching The Leftovers and will still have some Carrie Coon in my life.
