What was all that bloodshed about anyway. It shows us that in the cosmos, life isn't as important as the story. When Mike finally rises to the top, after pushing that stone up the hill, his reward is to lose his cowboy clothes, walk away from "the old West" and become the accountant for the mob. Not just an accountant, but one who need to prove himself by trying to outdo a guy who saved the company a fortune in postage stamps. Our Native American friend is off to become a boss (after some reconstruction) and never gets his showdown. He is a killer, but treats killing like we brush a fly off our coat. Kirsten Dunst is one of those actors who never impressed me. Her vacuous performance should really win an Emmy. Poor Ed has been cursed to be in love with one of the most destructive women in movie history. While there is violence to some degree, with one death of an innocent old man who stops in his car to see what Ed is up to, the carnage ended at the motel in the previous episode. Lou gets back to his wife and all's well for now. I think Ted Danson has evolved into such a good actor. I need to finish by saying that I came to the Fargo party late. I watched the first season, beginning to end, and now this. I'm blessed to have gone along for the ride.
