I think we can all agree that this season started off a little slow. A bang and then a slow set-up. We were all waiting for the huge climax, and we got it in episode 5. In the past two episodes, the plot has become so extraordinary, and we get to truly see what Fargo is all about for the following reasons: 1. The allusions from season 1, 2 and the movie; I noticed three major allusions that shocked me. First, the most obvious is the one from the movie. The car flips off the road, and the drivers get killed execution style. The second and third one was a combination. The stamp! I don't know how we didn't see this before. The myth of Sisyphus from season 2. Does it symbolize Emit's struggle? However, that isn't even the biggest clue. Also, in the stamp, there was a more subtle allusion... Palindrome. The twos on the stamp reflect each other. Does that symbolize Emit's fate! 2. Last one. Back from episode one we met Euri. Euri apparently killed a woman named Helga. Euri was the hit-man wearing the wolf hat following Nikki and our deaf guy (from season 1). He was being judged and his past finally catches up with him. Overall, an amazing episode filled with great acting, thrilling twists, and subtle details that keep us on the edge of our seat.
