Palindrome

A peculiar ending, this.

The episode prior to this had factions being wiped out, fugitives on the run and all sorts of unanswered questions lying around. And for the most part, 'Palindrome' answers those, at least where it counts; but it sure has a funny way of going about it. There really are no rug-pulls here, and everything feels like it's attended to properly. In that respect, this is a perfect ending, even with a cynical streak. I love that Mike survived the Motel massacre only to be promoted into corporate imprisonment.

Getting right down to it, this is the show's idea of a happy ending; where the resolution arrives neatly packaged without cloying sentiment. The right people survived the shootout, the bad ones are appropriately punished, and life carries on. It's appropriate for this season, which is honestly one of the finest stretches of television I've ever witnessed. The level of quality is maintained, it's honest, and worthwhile in every respect.

9/10

Thank you Noah Hawley for this perfect show. Actually, about this finale, i understand why this episode is not on the top of the episodes rating on IMDb. Simply because episode 9 tense has widen our expectations toward this finale. However, i believe that if you are a real fan for Fargo and Noah Hawley sophisticated style you would completely understand why they have to end it like this. because you really need to take a step back after episode 9 and make everything go to an end or may be near the end. the acting performance was top notch as expected and the comedy part was much more than perfect in the scene of Mike got stolen by the man.

To sum up, i think this is a perfect finale for an amazing journey in Fargo season 2. And by the way, i was sure that season 2 was never going to top season 1; however now i think you know the answer. FARGO is the best TV SHOW since Breaking bad.

I enjoyed watching the series overall and the story seemed pretty decent but I still can't understand the point of the whole UFO part.

I love Fargo. I can finally say that. While I thoroughly enjoyed last season, I didn't think it was quite perfection in the way that a lot of others did. I felt as though one storyline in particular went in a direction that, while interesting, didn't tie in with the rest of the season. Due to my love of the first season of True Detective, I favored that show over this one. However, this season of Fargo totally won me over. It was brilliant in every single way, and I felt s if it was totally perfect. While it would be hard for me to compare it to season 1 True Detective, I definitely felt it ranks among the greatest, probably top 5, after all of Breaking Bad of course. This season was absolutely incredible, and I could not have had higher expectations heading into the finale. After the finale, I found myself disappointed. I had grown so accustomed to a totally final conclusion, that I forgot how beautifully real this TV show is. I realized how perfect it was upon reflection, as it occurred to me that the ending we got was entirely perfect, and I'm not simply denying it is bad. I'm recognizing it's true greatness and raw realism. Due to the week-by-week approach of the show, it made it hard to accept the non-formulaic ending. However, if I were to binge-watch it, it would totally fit. This season was not about finality, but about reaching totality. That totality was reached in a brilliant and low-key conclusion to one of the greatest seasons of TV ever. Thank you Fargo season 2, you have truly brought happiness to me.

Well I think I can speak for a ton of people in saying that this was one of the best seasons of television in history, and I firmly believe that. Everything from the opening music for every episode, to the unforgettable performances, to the uniquely stylistic directing, and even the WTF moments like last week's UFO sighting, this has been one helluva run for Fargo.

This episode was relatively uneventful, although it was very haunting seeing the opening shot of all the characters who have died this season and wonder who may be next. There weren't many players left, but of those who were alive, they kept tonight entertaining. We actually finally got a little bit more of Molly's mindset through her predictions of her future self. It was nice seeing some of season 1's cast return like Allison Tolman, Colin Hanks, Joey King, and Keith Carradine, which got me thinking. Where will this show go next? Season 3 is confirmed, but do we go forward or backwards? Either way, I'm in.

The Blumquists made their final run for it and ironically ended up in a butcher shop, where Ed died, further pushing Peggy into madness. I would have liked to see exactly where she ended up, but her scene with Lou in the cop car was just enough to see that there's no way she was getting out of this mess. After Hanzee went all Terminator on the Blumquists, he got a new identity and seemingly, a new start. Again, it's kind of a shame we didn't get more insight into Hanzee's motivations or back-story, but I think ultimately, that may have served his character for the best.

Other than that, not a ton happened, but that didn't prevent the episode from being really well done. It was great hearing the fantastic score/theme that season 1 used over the course of tonight's episode. I also really loved that the writers never made this season specifically about any particular character(s). Martin Freeman was great last season but I think season 1's problems lie with his character. This season did such a nice job at balancing every one of the main characters without making any of them overpower the other. I loved this season.
