I like Hanzee. He's so very competent at what he does, he reminds me of my beloved Mike in Breaking Bad. The big difference is that nothing fazed Mike, but Hanzee's about had it up to here with overt discrimination for being Indian.
I'm disturbed at his split ends, though. Sorry, dude, those have to be cut off if you want your hair to look like it did early in Longmire.

OK, just binge-watched Season 1 yesterday - Absolutely lurved it - Especially Molly
... And Martin Freeman and Billy Bob were spectacular - Couldn't wait for them to get what they deserved in the end!

It's baaaaack, and just as cray-cray as ever - Lurve it!
Just watched the season premiere. Good stuff.
Curious to see how the East German story ties into everything.
Tonight is episode 5 out of 10, and it's just one hour long. I noticed too that FX's TV schedule has it listed for 2 hours, but they did that last week also. No idea why.
One of Vargas' henchman is the killer they were talking about in the East German scene. Other than that, I'm thinking the East German story was just to foreshadow the elements of mistaken identity that are in the main story, but maybe more will come from it.
So far, I think this season is just as outstanding as the previous two. I'm most enjoying David Thewlis' performance as Vargas, he's an excellent villain, but all the cast and characters this year are great.

The network is listing it for two hours at last! We've been recording it and having the end chopped off. The episodes run 1:15 to 1:20 and our DVR only knows how to follow the schedule provided by the networks. (It's so stupid, but it's just a machine.) After the first one, we figured out to record whatever came next, but now maybe we don't have to.

We recorded it and will watch it tonight, probably.
Oh, speaking of Fargo and seasons, I read recently that Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, the young couple from last season, are engaged. I've liked him since Friday Night Lights, so I wish them happiness--although the characters they played certainly didn't deserve any.

Yeah, another excellent season. There were some really odd, but brilliant moments and episodes. Really enjoyed the ending scene and the whole final episode. I really hope there's another season for Fargo, but I think this may be the last.
It just overheated, and then cooled down during the exchange?
That's awesome, I loved those two (their characters too, to be honest).

Oh, that was good! I'll try not to give spoilers, but l loved (and wanted to know more about) the deaf guy's action and how Burgle is now working as a different kind of cop whose prediction seems to be more true than the one voiced by the suspect she's interviewing--but it fades to black before we know for sure.
I read an article that the present intention is for a fourth season to exist, but at least three years from now, as the show's creator/runner has other commitments.

I know, right? - I kinda wanted *closure* on that situation.
Two Things:
1. The deaf guy returns after 5 years???!!!
2. How did V.M. Varga get out of that elevator; leaving only his crumpled raincoat behind?

I, personally, love the ending, because there's such good reason to believe either of them could be right. It takes such skill and effort to make that kind of ending work, and I think they accomplished that.
He climbed the elevator shaft, John McClane style, and then pulled open the elevator doors from inside. Or, perhaps, evil on this show has the supernatural power to disappear, like Billy Bob Thornton's character, Malvo, did in the first ever episode from Lester's basement.

I agree completely. It was one of those rare circumstances where knowing what happens would ruin it for me.
Did they ever answer this? Am I daft?
On a personal note, my oral hygiene has never been better.

A lot of elevator shafts had ladders built into them, and elevator doors can be manuallaly opened from either side.
Next time you are waiting for an elevator, look for a small hole in the doors or frame. Insert a straight object into the hole, and it will release the catch that holds the doors shut.

In the East German prologue, the interrogator insists the guy being questioned is Yuri Gurga. He says no, Yuri Gurga is the guy who lived in the apartment before he did, thus the mix-up. I believe the real Yuri Gurga was Varga's Ukrainian henchman. Also, the prologue provided a nice bookend for the season...beginning and ending in an interrogation room.
Also, what Lauram said about it beginning and then ending in an interrogation room.
