Oh yay, I loved seasons 1 and 2. Thanks for the reminder.

We look forward to that so much. And to Longmire on Netflix.

Yay!

You know, I only watched the first season. The first season was filmed 10 minutes from my house in Calgary. The rest has been filmed in and around Calgary (mostly rural areas and towns) in Alberta. In season one, when they were in "Vegas" and there was a magician onstage, that magician is my co-workers now ex-husband. He really is a magician. (Richard Sherry magic)

Thanks for the reminder!

I loved that show along with Bates Motel. But I don't have cable TV anymore so I'm sad to miss those shows. Maybe the season will be on Hulu or Netflix next year so I can catch up.

They're filming in another part of Calgary too. The photo above is the hospital I was born in. :) And this article has them in another part of Calgary, which isn't very far from where I live right now. http://calgary.ctvnews.ca/fargo-resumes-filming-in-calgary-1.3372140#_gus&_gucid=&_gup=twitter&_gsc=cwH34ZF

Well they better add "eh?" to the dialogue then.

TONIGHT! YES I AM SO HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO DVR IT!

I only wish it was on a cable channel i.e. commercial free, but I enjoy the show very much so put up with the ads every six minutes or less.

Oh yeah! And just like that I'm hooked!

Awesome music as usual.

I was so tired I went to bed at ten, just could not stay up. Could someone tell me what happened? And was that card game tournament bridge? Looks like a confusing game. Did anything happen at the tournament?

I DVRed it. Was it good?

Yes it sure was. I don't know what card tournament that was. According to the synopsis on the website it was bridge. There's a good synopsis there.

I fell asleep too! Actually I was watching and I think it was probably near 10:25p or so and suddenly I awoke at 10:44pm. Dang, maybe didn't miss too much on account of commercials.

Someone will have to explain to me about the Stossy connection to the chief of police. Who is she? She mentioned to her son that he has a stepdad now like when "Grandpa married......????" after grandma died. Is she the sheriff deputy's (lady) daughter from last season? They talked so fast I couldn't always understand what they were saying.

I agree I had no idea what that card game was, didn't know bridge was so complicated. Thanks.

Fell asleep too. I wasn't immediately fixated like the previous 2 seasons. Will watch again this weekend.

These people have no connection to the people in the previous seasons. Her father happened to have the same last name but it doesn't seem to be a relation. The idiot that was hired lost the address of the brothers house and went to the wrong town and wrong address to a totally unrelated person's house. No idea what kind of stamps he took from the old man.

The lady chief is divorced, her husband is now with a man. So her son has a father and another father or as she said step father. That's all we know about that.

The 2 Brothers had a choice of inheritance when they were younger. The one that is a probation officer apparently chose the corvette and the other brother chose the stamp and the family business. Or something like that.

The rich brother is not tangled up with some really bad characters over a one million dollars loan. Loan sharks deluxe!

The probation officer is in love with one of his criminals. A very bad choice.

The air conditioning unit falling on the idiots head was genius lol.

I left a lot out but that covers most of it.

Set in 2010, the third installment of Fargo centers on “Emmit Stussy” and his slightly younger brother “Ray” (Ewan McGregor in dual roles).

Emmit, the “Parking Lot King of Minnesota,” is a handsome, self-made real estate mogul with a perfect family – a real American success story. His slightly younger brother Ray is more of a cautionary tale. Wilted from a lifetime of living in Emmit’s shadow, Ray is a balding, pot-bellied parole officer with a huge chip on his shoulder about the hand he’s been dealt – and he blames his brother.

The only bright spot in Ray’s life is the love of a not-so-good woman, “Nikki Swango” (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), one of his parolees. Nikki has brains, beauty and a deep and abiding passion for competitive bridge. She decides to help Ray turn his fortunes around, by essentially stealing back his good karma. Unsurprisingly, things quickly get out of hand and petty theft leads to murder.

When the mayhem crosses county lines, Eden Valley Police Chief “Gloria Burgle” (Carrie Coon), a newly divorced mother, is called upon to investigate. Normally steady and imperturbable, Gloria is shaken when the case takes an unexpectedly personal turn. Meanwhile, Emmit’s perfect life is upended when he receives an unwelcome business proposal from a mysterious loner and true capitalist, “V.M. Varga” (David Thewlis), whose bosses plan to become business partners with “The Parking Lot King,” whether Emmit likes it or not.

Emmy® Award winning Executive ProducersNoah Hawley (showrunner/writer/director), Joel & Ethan Coen, Warren Littlefield and John Cameron all return for the third installment of the 10-episode limited series. Fargo is produced by MGM Television and FX Productions, with MGM Television serving as the lead studio.

Thank you very much raven. I even got the name wrong. So no relation to the previous season's characters - ok, got it.

I really enjoyed the first season, the second season didn't have the creativity but was still watchable. Waiting to see how this goes. Was pretty bored with the first episode until the air conditioner flattened the guy. Who can't love that? So far the next couple are so slow moving it's tough to stay with it but I'll probably watch it when I can. And yes, there were a few "ehs" thrown in as I recall.

The hired gun was supposed to kill a guy in Eden Prairie, MN but lost the address and couldn't remember the town until he heard Eden Valley and figured that had to be it. Looked in a phone book and found someone with the same name and that's how he was selected.

I stopped watching this seasons. I found it boring.

Actually the now deceased lowlife goof-ball was supposed to go to parking lot king's house and steal a stamp he had framed and on the wall, because resentful brother thought really he himself should have it. After lowlife lost the paper with the address while in transit he went to the cop's step-dad's place by mistake and killed him while looking for the stamp - it was pure chance that it was possible for him to get the two addresses confused. Then after his return he burst in on parking lot's brother and the parolee girlfriend in a hotel room they were using at the time, told them because there was now murder involved he wanted $5000 for the deed, to be collected subsequently. Since he was a chain smoker he stopped to light up on the sidewalk in front of the hotel after walking out the front door, giving the two of them an opportunity to actually succeed in dropping the air conditioner on him - from about 3 or so storeys above. Before then the girlfriend had estimated and counted off how long it would take him to get down the stairs - while she worked on getting the unit loose from its mounting.

Of course, anyone investigating this occurrence* would be able to see that the air conditioner had been deliberately loosened and pushed out the window. So far I haven't seen any consequences to this being included in the story.

So far.

*Seems like there may be a segment where somebody comes and looks but I don't remember now

This season is a huge disappointment.

We are, of course only 3 episodes into it.

I agree it's starting slow but it's still holding my attention. The last episode was way slow. I have faith it will kick in soon. We were just getting the basics covered

The card game is duplicate bridge, basically the same as regular bridge, but scored differently, and players earn Master Points over their lifetime,. They play the same hands and each team tries to score the highest on the same hand.

It's played internationally and the late Omar Shariff was a Grand Master. Yes, it can be quite complicated.

Seasons 1 & 2 had me at the first episode. That's the way it should be.

I can't wait to see how the UFO figures into all of this.
