It's clearly just advertisement for the X-Files spinoff.

Hahah the delivery was just perfect. Very Happy

I've run out of adjectives to express my awe. The amount of quality here is so high that is making me uncomfortable.. I'm just thankful that TV shows like this one exist, may Fargo live long and prosper xD

Well the UFO bit always puzzled me... till 5 days ago when I saw an X-Files episode (S01E04) that was located in and around Sioux falls and mentioned the area being a UFO hotspot in the late 70's.
Then I made the connection with Fargo's timeline

Kirsten Dunst is great. Again, emmy material all over this season.


I was just gonna quote and say the same Very Happy All around performances in this are top notch. Looking forward to the finale...

Be cool if Lorne Malvo had a cameo in the finale to link the seasons but I doubt it.

The UFO inclusion makes it that extra bit more Fargish Minnesota 79.
All the UFO thing was very well done as it did not influenced the story in any way. The showdown in last ep could be told almost the same way with or without the UFO. Great shot do.

This season is just as good as the first and the bar was very high. So many great characters are going to vanish in one ep more, like tear drops..

Anything could have distracted the youngster or Bear, even no distraction at all would do.
The UFO was not needed. And that´s the way I think it fits best with the story. a Fargo story that is.

Just started watching Season 2, just in time to catch the finale when it's released... and oh yes, this is an absolutely amazing series. The cast alone, holy shit.

I did no research beforehand, and there is Bruce Campbell, Ted Danson (who I adore since Bored To Death), Nick Offerman (who looks completely changed without is moustache), Kieran Culkin... just so many people from my all time favorite movies and series. And the script, the setting, the language ("Oookey then" Laughing).

After the disappointment that was True Detective Season 2, this revived my interest in the concept of different cast/plot each season.

Um yeah I was expecting something great for the season finale but after episode 9 it was somewhat anticlimactic, especially the scene before credits rolled, ugh.

 Spoiler:
 


I love the accent all the actors adopt for the show.

The finale was good but just like the mid-season ending of The Walking Dead, it was ultimately somewhat disappointing.

Anything after the build up to the shootout in ep9 was bound to be slow. Found Milligans end story lacking, the rest was great as usual.

Yup, that was a great moment. I found out that it's a true story (for real this time): http://edition.cnn.com/2015/04/29/us/vietnam-sea-rescue/

---------------
Also, season 3 will return in ~2017

Quote:
The third season will move forward to 2010 and deal with our “selfie-oriented culture.
“It’s a more contemporary story, and I think that’s exciting.Our first year was set in 2006, but we didn’t really deal with what it was like to be in that region in a more contemporary world. I like the idea that we’re now living in a very selfie-oriented culture where people photograph what they’re eating and put it up for other people to see. It feels like a social dynamic that is very antithetical to the Lutheran pragmatism of the region. So many of our crime stories are based on the difficulty that people have expressing themselves and communicating. In a lot of ways, the tragedies that are at the heart of these crimes could all be averted if Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) could have asked his father-in-law for the money or if Lester (Martin Freeman) could have been honest about who he was, or Peggy (Kirsten Dunst) as well. I like the idea of setting up these pragmatic and humble people against the culture of narcissism and [seeing] what that generates for us, story-wise.”


None of the main characters from our first year will be back for our third year. The risk we take, obviously, is that we say at the beginning it’s a true story. It’s what Joel and Ethan Coen did in the movie, and what made the movie so powerful and poignant is that it ended. The danger of bringing them back and putting them through their paces for another crazy case [is] the artifice of the whole thing becomes too clear. That’s not to say one of our stories might not intersect with characters we’ve seen before for a certain period of time."

reveal was really strange and unnecessary. Other than that I enjoyed the finale. It was quiet and slow-paced, but not in a bad way (*cough* Homeland Season 4 finale *cough*). Milligan's fate was quite poetic I thought. And they have to give Kirsten Dunst an award for this role, she was phenomenal throughout the whole season.

not a bad ending, a good closure so to say to the season.It couldn't have been as good as the previous episodes with all the murders that happened and characters gone .

Great season, but the overall story was much better in S1 IMO.

This is the first time I actually liked Kirsten Dunst.

S1 benefited from a better cast. Well, Freeman and Thornton anyway - both were absolutely stellar as you'd expect from actors of that caliber. This season had solid casting overall, but no standouts and the story wasn't perhaps as intriguing. That's not to say S2 was disappointing, far from it, but S1 was just so outstanding it's hard to measure up to that.


Now, let's have season 3 with Bryan Cranston in the 80's. Very Happy
