Having now watched the Fargo pilot, I am sure that Thornton is actually playing Satan.
I found the first half hour excruciatingly slow, but the rest grabbed me enough to want to watch next week.
My food is problematic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Last night's Mad Men episode was soooo good.
Exasperated Joan, Secretary roulette, Melting Down Peggy, Ranty Pants Pete (pure comedy gold), brutal one liners (February 14th - masturbate gloomily) and great Don/Sally interaction.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The end was so wonderful and heartbreaking in a good way. I also loved Pete being schooled by real estate woman--her job is as important as his.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I loved Dawn's little smile at the end when she realized it was HER phone ringing, and not her boss'.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That WAS a good episode! Much better than the premiere.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ah, Don and Sally, so great. Pete talking on and on into the phone after Roger hung up, almost as good.

There's a great recent interview with Matthew Weiner talking about how the writers just love to come up with scenes where Pete gets into a high dudgeon.

I loved his whole ridiculous rant to Ted. It was beautiful.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Almost as beautiful as the nutty rant itself was Ted making little half-hearted stabs at derailing it, then clearly realizing that Pete was just on a tear and all he had to do was make little meaningless noises every now and then and eventually Pete would either wind himself up and storm out or run down and slump out, leaving him in peace.
