Wow, Fargo finale next week already!

You know, early in the episode I thought to myself "Lorne Malvo does not give a fuck" but I was still somehow shocked when he was telling those kinds about Lester hearing noises from the basement.

Poor Linda. And just when I was really curious about why she lied about leaving Las Vegas.

Suits is back! I don't know how long Mike and Harvey can be at loggerheads. It makes my tummy upset.

For those watching, did you catch this exchange at the start?

Harvey: "This phrase 'I know what the procedure is'—I don't think it means what you think it means.
Mike: "Well, as inconceivable as it might seem to you, Harvey..."

On some shows, that might have been coincidence, but not on a show with Louis "A Lannister always pays his debts" Litt. I wonder how many other references were too subtle for me because I hadn't inhaled the source material quite so deeply? Usually it's obvious--they'll even call it out from time to time:

Mike: I'm just saying, if you're gonna quote a movie, quote a movie.
Harvey: I got one word wrong.
Mike: It changed the entire meaning of the quote.
Harvey: Not to me, it didn't. That's what I thought the quote was.
Mike: Okay, fine. You want to be disrespectful to Martin Scorsese, you go right ahead.
Harvey: Martin Scorsese didn't even write the damn movie.

But what if a bunch more times they just slip phrases/words adjacent to each other? Now I want the boxed sets.

I love love Longmire.

Wasn't there more after, or was that a different scene with additional references? Good times, at any rate.

If there were more references afterwards, and I am a bad person, but watching again would definitely help me on my quest for self-improvement.

Suits is generally good times. Even when I think "Oh NOES!! This is the one where everything blows up!" is still enjoyable as well as tense.

Plus, I might have mentioned, HBIC Gina Torres on fire.

I guess it was all the other stuff referred to here: [link] and not more Princess Bride.

While not yet updated, this tumblr is also fun: [link] It's just so earnest.

Oh, yeah, I haven't encountered a show with more quotage than Suits. That one surprised me because it wasn't a quote. I'm sure I miss a bunch, but they point a few out I'd otherwise not notice, so that's nice.

I do love the one where a list of epic lovers is being written, and Jaime and Cersei Lannister are cut off for too controversial, but Romeo and Juliet and Antony and Cleopatra make it on. And this is a love letter.

Yeah, in retrospect, the cascade I was (not quite) remembering was the Jerry Maguire bit.

OMG, this season (and in a way series) finale for Fargo is killing me. There's only two people I want dead at this point and I'm biting fingernails about the rest. Holy shit they did a good job with this series long-ish haul.

Dammit, RIP Keye and Peele, FBI. I hoped you'd make it since you vindicated Molly. Or at least seriously wounded Billy Bob (or at least fucking Lester). Dammit again, I say. Dammit.
