Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe poem Mike Milligan (Bokeem Woodbine) recites is called "Jabberwocky" and is taken from the novel "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There" written by Lewis Carroll in 1872.
- GoofsKorean War vet Karl Weathers, when being convinced to help negotiate between Bear Gerhardt and Lou Solverson despite being completely drunk, mentions that he once "stared down Chiang Kai-Shek". Chiang Kai-Shek was an anti-communist ally of the United States and fled to Taiwan prior to the start of the Korean War, so it was either a drunken error or one of Karl's tall tales.
- Quotes
Ed Blumquist: And I can't stop thinking about that book. Noreen's book. It's, like, stuck in my head.
Lou Solverson: What? What book?
Ed Blumquist: It's about this guy who, every day, he... he pushes this rock up this hill. Like a boulder. And then every night, it just rolls back down. But he doesn't stop. You know, he just... he keeps goin'. And he wakes up every day and starts pushin'. By which I guess I'm sayin', it doesn't matter what they throw at me. I'm gonna take care of what's mine. And...
Lou Solverson: These boys aren't gonna rest until you're dead, son. Possibly Peggy, too.
Ed Blumquist: I want a lawyer.

What I Liked:
The pacing of this episode allows for thoroughly engaging and rarely dull viewing. It is a testament to how well-structured and tautly written this show has been so far.
The cinematography is solid, and each scene perfectly implements its well-crafted and memorable music score. On top of that, each actor gives a strong performance.
As the gang war intensifies, each scene involving the Gerhardts and the Kansas City Mafia becomes tenser and tenser, making for some highly enthralling television.
What I Disliked:
Each scene with Peggy is noticeably uninteresting, especially compared to the other storylines. She is not likable or intriguing enough to warrant the amount of screen time she receives.
Overall:
Fargo delivers its best episode of this sophomore season so far, a fantastic and highly enthralling viewing experience.
