Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia"Moonbase Freedom" is the second of three fictional Ronald Reagan movies in this season. The clip actually shown in the theater scene is from Edgar G. Ulmer's The Man from Planet X (1951), which was indeed released in 1951.
- GoofsHanzee finds a piece of broken headlight in the road, which he then conveniently matches up with Ed and Peggy's car. But the police previously spoke about finding broken glass in the street, and they would've taken said glass as evidence. It's extremely unlikely they would've missed a piece as large as the one Hanzee found, but even if they had, roads get plowed when it snows. It was snowing the night of the murder and the road had clearly been plowed at least once in the days between the crime and Hanzee finding the glass. It's simply not plausible for that piece of headlight to still be lying in the road so many days after the hit and run.
- Quotes
Lou Solverson: You didn't fight, did you, Ed - in the war?
Ed Blumquist: No, sir. 4-F on account I got the one kidney.
Lou Solverson: So... There's a look a boy gets when he's been shot or a - or a land mine takes off his legs, and he's laying there in the mud, trying to get up, 'cause he doesn't feel it yet.
Ed Blumquist: I, uh, don't...
Lou Solverson: His - his brain hasn't caught up with the reality, which is... he's already dead.
Peggy Blumquist: Ed. He's scaring me.
Lou Solverson: But we see it, the rest of us. And we lie. We say, "Lay still. You're gonna be fine." If you'd been to war, you'd know the look. See, you and Peggy, you got the look.

What I Liked:
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:
I am not a fan of several editing choices, particularly the usage of split screens and flashbacks, which appear superfluous at best.
Each scene with Ed & Peggy is noticeably uninteresting, especially compared to the other storylines. These characters are not likable enough to warrant the amount of screen time they receive.
Overall:
Fargo maintains its high quality in what remains a strong sophomore season. One can surmise that the events in this story are all building to an epic climax.
