The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.

More compelling to me personally than the Oz of it all is the Twin Peaks of it all. This season seems to mirror A LOT of Twin Peaks. And not just the tone, but also visual elements (the cross fades with Tillman imposed especially, but also the way smoke filters from one completely separate scene/location into another) and plot elements (Wink Lyon playing with toys feels like more than just a vague reference to Benjamin Horne). I'd love to hear Hawley talk about that connection.
Further, it's interesting to note that both Hawley and David Lynch use Wizard of Oz imagery/motifs/themes all the time. This season of Fargo is just as full of Oz as Lynch's Wild At Heart (for example). Both hyper violent studies of "Americana" through an Oz filter.

It definitely says No. But you can certainly make it say Oz. Just ask the internet!
Nah, we watched the first episode again last night with some friends and the use of the Lyon mansion as the Emerald City was pretty on the nose

Another episode zipped right along and the first character death of note. Only two episodes left and it definitely felt like it was setting up the end game. Lots of Dot/Nadine and Tillman, with Dave Foley and Lamorne Morris getting plenty of screen time too. Barely saw Old Munch but the previews lead us to believe that thread will be addressed next week. The debate scene was great, a bit of levity in an otherwise, at times, brutal and tense episode.

The camera on John Hamm walking for like a minute was incredible. What a fucking actor. If you told me to just walk for a minute while you filmed me, I’d fuck it all up.

Dave Foley is such excellent casting. I still wish he got to cut loose a little bit more, but he commands my affection from the first frame so his truncated arch still packed a punch.
