Episode 4 felt super short and didn't really deliver after the prior build up. Not bad, just... meh.

The Tiger was the shortest one yet but lots of plot advancement packed in; well edited and felt like not a minute wasted. Jennifer Jason Leigh’s best episode yet.

Watched episode 1 last night, very good.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Best exchange this season.tragabigzanda wrote:Also the scene between JJL and Hamm was fantastic. Kind of a masterclass in character development, so that their simple conversation is loaded with so much background that you can feel the powdered about to blow.

Re: TV: Fargo
I think there's a chance.... just a chance that Foley is in over his head here. And that's not a slight to Foley, whom I adore. But I feel like he just doesn't quite get it. Which is fine. It's a hard note to sing.tragabigzanda wrote:Yeah JJL owned that episode. But Juno did fantastic work too. Kind of shocking how effortless she makes it look, actually.
Release Dave Foley from this buttoned up character! If he doesn’t get to cut loose at some point I’m gonna be pissed
