What are the odds one of the characters turns out to be Charles Gerhardt?
What do we really know about Varga anyway? This is less of a reach than the Hanzee thing.

What I like about that touch is, Gloria is already invisible (in a sense) and Varga seeks to become invisible.I love how no one acknowledges Gloria-- not even the doors or water faucets!
Noah Hawley was interviewed on NPR's Fresh Air today, incidentally.
Oh, nice catch. I didn't even notice that parallel.
Cool, I'll have to dig that up. Hopefully he also talked about Legion.
I think the robot is supposed to be Gloria.
Which is also forboding considering the robot's fate.

CAPTAIN MANSPLAIN! Explaining to women that noticing patterns is just not good policework!
The new chief is a total ass hat. If Gloria had gunned him down I would've cheered.
Wow, I thought for certain Nikki was dead. In fact, going into that scene, knowing Cy was being tailed by Varga's goons, I figured she was going to be murdered. I'm glad I was wrong, but I still feel terrible for Nikki. 
And yeah, Chief Dammik is a complete piece of shit.
Hell, there was a lot of shit going on in this episode. Varga's cruelty towards Cy, Ray and Nikki's sex tape that has destroyed Emmit's marriage, Varga trying to turn Emmit against Cy. I look forward to Fargo's classic comeuppance to the whole lot of them (but Nikki did not deserve that beat down).
Great to see Mary McDonnell! I hope we see plenty of her character. Hamish Linklater, too.

I hope that's the last time we see someone forced to drink someone else's urine. Ugh..........
It looked like a murder.
What Nikki deserves is a long prison sentence.

Yeah, that was really gross. I did not need to see that. Thankfully, I was on headphones and I just pulled them off and looked away until it was over. Ugh.
What popped into my mind was Argo, making the producer CIA. Too bad it was at least five years before the Iranian crises.
Something that's really been bothering me about Gloria's search for her stepdad's background in L.A. and her theory that he changed his name from Tad Mobley, the label on the toilet bowl notwithstanding.
Didn't Ennis Stussy seem WAY too old for his age to match up with Mobley's age in the flashback from 35 years prior? They said Ennis was 82 when he was killed by Maurice (a "full life"). Mobley looked to be in his late 20's/early 30's at the oldest - 82 - 35 = 47 years of age at the time of the flashback, not 20's/30's. Young Vivian Lord's age seemed about comparable back then - maybe a tad-bit younger, mid-late 20's on the outside (actress Francesca Eastwood is 24). When we see Gloria interview her in the diner, she does appear to be about the correct age - mid-late 60's (actress Frances Fisher is 65), so this tracks.
Unless it was REALLY bad casting for young Mobley/old Stussy, there doesn't seem to be really any logical way that Ennis should have been at such an advanced age by the time Maurice got to him, since Mobley certainly didn't seem to be late 40's/early 50's. For what it's worth, the actor's (Thomas Mann's) real age is 26 right now (only 2 years older than Eastwood) and the actor who played Ennis is 74 (9 years older than Fisher) - a 46 year difference between ages - over 15 years worth of difference between the supposed ages of young/old Stussy/Mobley. Looks like there are some people on Reddit that have noticed this as well. Just seems very strange is all - anyone else think this strange?

Ew. I hate when they do close ups of someone's mouth as they eat a sandwich. Ugh. And I had to look away when Varga had that metal stick inside his teeth. The show is really grossing me out this season. And Holy Crap! Emmit killed Ray. Damn. And of course Ray being a total moron he pulled that piece of glass out which let him bleed out and die.
I just saw a arc finale of a telesrye where a cop who was stab twice just pulled a combat knife out of his chest to kill his enemy who died with the knife stuck in his neck
I think the 'He was abusive and beat her' spin is a bit too conveniently fitting and felt a bit scripted but ok and wow, great episode. Poor idiot Ray.
I thought the last two episodes were a bit light on the cop side of the story but the last scene seems to suggest a shift in gears in that department.

I'm not liking this season as much as the previous season. You can only have so much driven by random chance before it seems like a contrivance. Varka and Gloria are the only ones who seem to be making decisions on their own. Everyone else is just kind of doing very stupid things and then accidentally doing other very stupid things.
You just described 75% of the world's population at any given moment.
This was a great episode, and Varga is one of the most interesting characters that I've seen in a while, maybe since Lorne Malvo in Fargo season one.
