I'm finally getting caught up on Fargo (an episode behind at this point), but OMG this is so much fun. Tense as hell at times (that stalk and shoot in the white out was superb), but also hilarious in a very Coen Brothers way (the Key and Peel Feds leading into the whole massacre in Fargo shot from the outside of building - brilliant AND cost effective). I was finally glad to see Billy Bob's character lose his composure a little in the whiteout scene and hope to see more of that in the future, hopefully with Molly and Gus as the source of his discomfort.
Side note: I can't believe how much Colin Hanks is starting to look like his dad. Also, I love the character of and actress playing his daughter.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME, FARGO?!?
Was that to the "One Year Later"? Because lord knows that was my reaction to that particular revelation. OMG this show is so much fun in a nasty, nasty way.
No, that was actually a previous episode. I was on board with the One Year Later.
So what was that in reaction too, -t? Molly getting shot?
Yup. They did a nice job of taking away the certainty I would normally have that the main POV character would survive. Pulled the rug out from under me, that did.
El Rey is an interesting network. I've been watching it to get my fix of S2 Dark Angel, but bumped into Mariachis and kung fu movies. Robert Rodriguez seems to be at least partially responsible for it, and racial diversity seems to be part of the point.
Not that there are any more black people than normal, but I guess we have BET?
Oh, and Grindhouse. He's big on that too. And Chucky. It's either random or complicated.
It's either random or complicated.
Can't it be both? Although I don't think I get El Ray so I can't judge.

That's basically what he said on Colbert recently.
Black people don't need no representation? Asian people represented in old school kung fu classics?
Haven't seen any Indian people yet--but by calling it El Rey, I guess you're clearly leading with Hispanics. It's just the claim for larger general representation...dodgy.
My impression is that it's Latino representation + stuff he likes, not that the goal is overall diversity. But again, that's literally just from a 6 minute interview months ago.
