4 was a solid B.

I don't mean to be overly harsh. But only one episode of that season has stuck with me. And Jessie Buckley's storyline is the only one I really remember.

I applaud Hawley for what he tried to do but he was out of his depth.

Still, Is be willing to change the grade to a B-

If it was set on the Kansas side of Kansas City, you’d have liked it better.

No black people live on the Kansas side.

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.

Hadn’t thought about this until now but:

Dorothy = Dot
Toto = the kid
Wicked Witch of the West = Roy Tillman
Tin Man = Gator
Scarecrow = Wayne (or the FBI agents)
Cowardly Lion = Indira
Wicked Witch of the East = Lorraine (but she may turn into Glinda the Good Witch)
Flying Monkeys = Munch/Graves

Not sure who the male cop is, but he’s also disappeared from the last couple episodes

Just want to point out again that there may not be a real one to one here.

But also a reminder that this whole season is about subversion. It literally starts with a subversion of the wife kidnapping from the Fargo film. So maybe we shouldn't be thinking of what these characters have in common with characters from Oz. Or if we do think about them that way, maybe we should also keep an eye out for how things won't go the way we think. The subversion might be more important in cracking any potential code.
