1 - I think you either over analyze....or....and here's something you don't read on CP...EVER....you're too smart for your own good. :D
now let me follow that up with something you DO see on CP all the time. shockingly enough...I'm not a dumbass. I'm actually surprisingly intelligent (Adam Ant - Alan Alda aside....). and I will say sir that sometimes your observations blow me away....not in a bad way....just in a....damn how much time did he spend thinking about this shit way!! I'm like damn man....you need a hobby! ROFL

2 - LOVED the Seinfeld finale. I've probably seen every episode LEAST twice and probably more. I'll stop and watch an episode any time. my mentioning of Seinfeld was only in the vein of....a show about nothing. But...that was a finale that was PERFECT.

on a side note....some worthless info....and speaking of perfect endings.....got this from a Jerry interview....in the episode where the Seinfeld gang are at the mall...the fish dies...Jerry and George are busted for peeing in public, they cant find the car etc.....Jerry was saying that they didn't know how to END the episode, so at the end when they FINALLY find the car and get in...the car not starting was totally unscripted. and when it happened they were all like.....YES! YES! that's the PERFECT ENDING! :clap:

I understand the intentions of the finale, but it doesn't change the fact that it was a glorified clip show that wasn't that funny. Also it was tonally strange, because the characters were never as loathsome as the finale wanted you to believe. As an idea, it makes more sense for a show like Always Sunny, where the characters actually have done so many horrible things it actually strains credulity that they're not already in prison.

Anyway, I liked the Fargo finale.. People get hung up on wanting finales to be big climaxes, but it's just as valid for them to be the denouement, especially for a TV novel-type show like Fargo.

Yup. I thought about that when the kid was signing. It seems a bit far-fetched, but I liked it.

Wow, just realized there are 2 seasons! :)

Finished watching season 1 on Hulu. Season 2 is not available without a cable account. I'll be downloading season 2 later.

What can they do in Fargo S3? Present day? Didn't they do the late 90s in the first Fargo season?

I could have sworn I read somewhere it would have crossovers...
