I do not presume to know how the Emmys work, but if Kirsten Dunst didn't win one for tonight's performance, then fuck 'em.

Her performance was beyond spectacular.

I can't pick which stinger to quote for this weeks episode because there are just so many good ones, but I'm going to go with Dodd...

"Don't you do it"

"Don't you do it"

"GODDAMNIT!"

"You gotta stop stabbing him"

"Foots on the other shoe now, huh?"

Goddammit, I just want to go home and watch it again right now.

Just finished re-watching it.

My God, the whole "Concerned citizen" basement dialog.

And that line is even better in retrospect, taking the foot stabbing into account.

So my take on Hanzee is that he would have continued with his henchman duties but for those yokels following him out of the bar to taunt him. When that insult was combined with Dodd's taking him for granted yet again, he had tolerated all the bullshit a man could tolerate and decided to go rogue.

It's weird, I immediately noticed the Sioux Falls hangman puzzle on phone booth, but only now connected it to Ed's near fate at Dodd's hands.

Are you sure it's a near fate?

Meaning what? Ed could still die from his injuries? Dodd's dead, baby. Dodd's dead.

I meant Ed's fate in Sioux Falls has yet to occur.
But it was late when I posted that and there may have been house drinkin' involved.

Or Ed's still hanging and the rest of the this season is an homage to "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"

Yeah, in that bar Hanzee finally had the revelation that no matter how accomplished he is, he's never going to be seen as anything like an equal by these stupid racist fuckwits. When Dodd immediately confirmed this by his lack of gratitude for rescue, he made his decision.

Interesting that at roughly the same time, Mike Milligan was coming to the same conclusion about Kansas City producing pretty much the same result.

MILLIGAN HANZEE TEAM UP

I was telling Ali that if you merged Milligan's charming, businesslike contract killer with Hanzee's terrifying calm brutality, you'd basically get Lorne Malvo.

"It's just a flying saucer, Ed. We gotta go."

Self-actualized Peggy is great.

[Bort]

Damn. I would have rather Mike died than what happened to that poor bastard.

The look on his face as he processed that he was basically getting what must have felt like (to him) a prison sentence was fucking priceless.

And damn was I relieved to see that Hank made it.

Finally binge-watched the back half of Season 2 a week ago.

You guys said most of the things, but no one mentioned the appearance of a (presumed) young Mr. Wrench on the ball field in Hanzee's coda...

I'd seen it brought up elsewhere so much that I just assumed it had been posted here.  Also, the other kid was Numbers, right?

Hey, season 3 needs to be discussed.

Ewan McGregor is better as Ray Stussy but very good as his brother "The parking lot king of Minnesota".
Favorite character: V. M. Varga by far.
The air conditioner was brutal.
The Peter and the Wolf storyline was BRILLIANT.
The music has been really perfect. I dislike Heart but that was really well done.
Boardwalk Empire fans will not be disappointed.
Nikki Swango is kinda hot.
I'll let the science fiction nerds here discuss the author and books but the movie producer he was approached by had to be Roger Corman, right?
Not exactly Police Chief is awesome.

Really? Nobody is watching this season?

I was going to repeat one of the funnier lines but after that ending it probably wouldn't be appropriate.

I'm watching flannj but still haven't watched last week's episode.

Gloria Burgle can get it.
