I hated the officers in season 1. The only character I found interesting was BBT. In season 2 Mike Mulligan was the standout character and the main cop was lame. This season again, interesting "villain".

Oh damn this Fargo has gotten good. I just finished the second last episode and will watch the finale now. That shit is tense. And this Malvo is such a sociopath, so is Lester really. Although because I read the wiki earlier I read that Lester and Malvo is gonna die, and that Molly is gonna get promoted, so I don't really expect any surprises in the final, but to me it's been about the journey through this season and experiencing and understanding what Fargo is all about.
[edit] Finished season 1! Onto Season 2.

Having a hard time pegging down some of these characters and their personalities.

Does anyone know the languages that Varga speaks. I only got the ones that he was talking to the lot guy; The scene where he talks to Meemo, and the last one where he makes a comment about Americans and their perceptions on deals (I think it maybe French)
Yes

It's hard for me to pick it up given his dental issues, but the subtitles noted that it was French in at least one scene.
I watched the pilot of Season 2 last night and damn was that a good set up for the season. Really loving it. And Molly is in high school, so cute haha. But it's a little jarring seeing Solverson apparently 26 years younger than in S1 and still looking pretty much the same. And also I can't remember but wasn't Betsy mentioned in the first season?

New episode tonight:
I have to say this season hasn't pulled me in as much as season 1 and 2 did at this point. The only characters I'm really into are Emmit and Nikki. The Ray/Varga forced partnership isn't clicking with me yet. Still excited for tonight's episode, and I'm sure things will come together for me before it's over.

I'm not questioning the casting, but are those guys friends with Noah Hawley or something?

This episode of Fargo was sponsored by Arby's. Get your milkshake and curly fries today.
I liked the animation bits but honestly this was the definition of a filler episode, other than him getting the name from the toilet.
Still filler though as backstory could have been handled much quicker as it was immediately clear he was being conned writing all those checks, cover him hitting Zimmerman, moving to Mn, seeing a stussy sign or something and going with it.
Appreciated the Mac cameo though, but would have preferred he be a recurring character.
Not a bad episode by any means but didn't like it as much as the first 2.

Episode was a little strange, and the story of Thaddeus Mobley seems mostly unnecessary to what's going on in 2010, (except that seeing the Stussy name on the toilet will inadvertantly get him killed years later) but I liked the episode. I really warmed up to Gloria, and liked seeing her out of her element in the big city. Anyone else think the robot in the animated segments looked a little bit like Clank?
Fun fact: the charcter Vivian is played by a mother (2010) and her daughter (1975).

I thought it was a great short story about Gloria's character. I'm glad they did it, and I'm excited to get back into the main Fargo action next week.
Clint Eastwood's ex-wife and daughter, too.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Loved this episode. The backstory probably isn't something we absolutely needed, but it fleshed out Gloria's​ character. Good to have the mystery of Ennis' past life solved so soon.
Carrie Coon carried this episode on her back, just a week after doing the same thing on The Leftovers. Damn, Carrie Coon Season truly is a blessed time.
