Episode #1.1

I've always contended that David Lynch actually filmed his nightmares. This is what genius is about. The murder of a young girl in a small logging town could have been vanilla without a spark. But add to it a herd of quirky characters and the appearance of Kyle McLachlan as Dale Cooper, FBI, and a sweet handling of plot lines going in every directions, and we have perhaps TV's finest moment. I've come to love Fargo over these past three seasons, and I know I owe my my love to this offbeat masterpiece. In the Pilot, we are introduced to the murder victim, the principle characters, the town, Cooper, and Sheriff Harry S. Truman. Laura Palmer is the centerpiece, the Solar System around which everything revolves. Her encounters, her friends, her actions on the night of her death will fuel everything down the road. It is also wonderful to see the list of current stars in their younger incarnations. Off we go into the wild blue yonder.
