Fargo

She's been around for a little while -- she was the one in the cheerleader uniform in Death Proof -- but I hadn't seen much of her in recent years.

The good thing about being on cable is that they don't have to do a new season until they're good and ready. The three seasons of Fargo have all started about 18 months apart. That helps to keep the quality up, at least in theory (remembering the epic fuckup that was Season 2 of True Detective).

Don't get me started on True Detective 2, although I loved Rachel McAdams performance.

If the cases on Fargo were really true stories, they'd be the kind of crime news that everybody heard about on the news.

Not everybody. that's why there are shows like American Greed and the like.

I'll amend that to say "everyone that watches the news", but then again, these days even a massacre of a half dozen people in a small town in Minnesota might not get much attention.

But Nikki? The prison bus massacre would absolutely be the top story on every newscast in the country, and later, a beautiful young woman, who escaped from it and a state trooper are found shot to death in the middle of a state highway? That's the sort of story the tabloids would be all over.

It might but they are usually NOT that pretty in RL. However, the problem with your line of thinking is, there are TONS of these happening every single day in this Country and are forgotten in a week....there was once a cult that wore black tennis shoes and they all killed themselves in order to get aboard a spaceship....remember them? or Jim Jones, or Bernie Madoff for that matter (until HBO revived them). Ever hear that truth is stranger than fiction?

Nope.

The only way I heard about Bali when I was in the states in 02 was reading Australian papers

In case you had no idea about it.

The Hale-Bopp Comet people. Well, maybe I'm not average, but I remember all those stories.

If it bleeds it leads, and I have some experience to inform my opinions. Maybe you're right, but in any case, the claim that the stories on Fargo are true is pure bullishit any way.

ever heard of the Ypsilanti Ripper?

I never even heard of Ypsilanti until a few months ago. So I googled "Ypsilanti ripper" and it brought up stories from the 1960s. You think maybe the media in 2011, when Season Three of Fargo was set, might have been a little different from the '60s?

Americans don't care when foreigners get killed.

I'm aware.

Good morning america didnt even mention it at the same time as being exclusive about the beltway sniper.

I got told about the Bali bombing, and there was no mention at all, and I was searching for it.

A fuel truck blew up in Pakistan today, and killed more than 140 people. Do you think it will be on the network news tonight?

Which network news? I'm in Australia... its Sixteen hours till you get to nightly news.
 
I re-watched the first 2 episodes of season 3 last night. Yeah, I know, Saturday night. I have no life. Anyway, now I have to wonder why Emmett allowed Varga to take over his business. Emmitt wasn't doing anything illegal. All he did was borrow money in a legal manner. The take over was strong arm. What, other than fear prevented them for going to a state or federal prosecutor?

Who was the power behind Varga? Did Goldfarb work for him, did he work for her or did they both work for someone else? These are the questions that keep me awake on a Saturday night.

That's a good question. I think the brazenness of Varga's entry into his life just overwhelmed Emmit. Either that, or he thought it was something he could eventually deal with up until the point his lawyer got killed, after which he figured it was best to play along, keep himself and his family safe, and hope Varga was telling the truth about how rich he'd become -- and ironically, he did get rich and his demise was unrelated to Varga.

I think that there was some subtext that Emmitt and Sy thought they were real players, and were unaware of how vulnerable they were to people who had real power. That seems to be a theme throughout the season. They thought they were dealing with people they could handle.
