No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Oh! Anyone watched Jekyll with ColdFeet/Murphy'sLaw!Nesbitt?

I saw part of an ad for this and then saw it mentioned somewhere else and was intrigued but if it has James Nesbitt (who is my new crush) it's now must watch for me. Is it going to air on BBCA soon or should I see if I can get an early peek at it?

Fargo's rival was the zombie master in "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things."

Yes! Damn, that was bothering me!

Next week Abby comes town... I think anyway...

Yay Abby!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

CFerg, gotta say that was a good call on the order you filmed the episodes, whichever of the PtB decided to go that way.

That said, there were some terrific line readings: "What does that even mean?" (which, granted, also needed Nathan's offhand setup line), and the whole "Wait for it." / "Ah, there it is." exchange were priceless.

Also, the way Henry walked away from Beverly at the end of episode? Let's just say I wouldn't want have Henry gunning for me. Grieving angry Henry is SCARY!

i'm behind on my watching, but i've seen the first two episodes. it's...interesting. James Nesbitt is pretty amazing at shifting between Jackman/Hyde. i like the woman playing their assistant too. she's the one who's going to be playing the Bionic Woman, right?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

did Jack say "him" or "it"? Cuz I heard "it", but if Jack says he was going to kill Fargo before the shield could.... whoa.

After Fargo's glitchy House of the Future iced an innocent person last year, I can see rationale for having zero patience with his continued gadgetry fuck-ups.

Punishingly Intricate

I had to skip out of the middle of Eureka to walk my elderly, impatient dog. Was it ever explained why the dangerous device was just sitting on a shelf (and I missed most of last season--it's at the top my my Netflix queue now I swear!!!--so is that just the way things are there)? Or how it got in Fargo's pocket?

Yes, it's the vault of GD. Stuff just sits on shelves. They store prototypes there during computer reboots, as well as abandoned projects.

Or how it got in Fargo's pocket?

The vault guy had been stealing from the vault and selling the parts. He thought that he would retire before the next inventory, so wouldn't be caught. There's a reboot of the computer and a reinventory everytime there's a new GD leader, or every six months. He thought that he would retire before the reboot, but then Stark had to go and get himself fired. He had to find a fall guy for the stuff that he'd been stealing, so he grabbed something off of the shelf and put it in Fargo's pocket. Fargo being Fargo, he turned it on.

Thanks, Vortex!

I totally got the Fargo turning the device on because he's who he is. It's a button! It's just asking to be pushed!
