To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
Mad Men, anyone?
I was not overwhelmed, I have to say. I was waiting for the punch at the end of the ep that would tie it all together and it never really came.
No, it was all set up and no follow-through. The only twist was that Freddy was Don's mouthpiece. I had figured that out early on, but the DH hadn't, so he liked that reveal a lot.
I did like that reveal, but otherwise, not a lot of excitement.
I can't remember women wearing gloves in 1969... but then I wasn't going out to fancy restaurants, either.
Elmore Leonard tried to be an adman for a while. Which makes me wonder if Roger Sterling let him go cause all of his storyboards ended with a hail of bullets.
"Another bloodbath, Leonard?"
"Why not?"
"Because it's Lay's potato chips. Not even the Frito Bandito."
Wow, I'm already looking forward to Billy Bob Thornton's comeuppance on Fargo, but so far I have enjoyed his choice of targets for being the world's biggest asshole.
I love Martin Freeman, but he's having accent issues above and beyond the exaggerated Minnesota ones. However this has a HUGE Coen brothers vibe the way that Justified had Elmore Leonard down.
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the idea of a Fargo television series. That said, I'm absolutely in. Very good pilot.
Totally did not recognize Bob Odenkirk.
How does Martin Freeman have time to film everything he's in?

The women the background weren't wearing gloves. Maybe she was being extra formal as part of whatever she's into that made her want to tell Roger she forgave him?
Totally did not recognize Bob Odenkirk.
Yeah, that mustache actually disguised him better than I would have thought. I thought he was supposed to be the hapless sheriff, but i think that was Colin Hanks.

SERIOUSLY!!! As I said, I kept hearing his accent wobble, but I figure given his schedule he's only got so much time to perfect those things, and his visual performance made up for any lacking in the vocal department.
