*Warning Major spoilers for the Fargo episode The Rooster Prince. Tread lightly when reading.*
Welcome back to another recap to Fargo. First off, just wanted to say sorry for the delay. Should be better next week. Now back to Fargo, this week's episode had hubba-bubba, dogs, and very cheesy jokes. While this week did take a more quiet approach, seeing everything unravel that happened last week was very delightful.
The performances are still outstanding, and characters are great too, but a good and a bad happened this week. This week, we were introduce to some great characters. Probably the best new characters was Mr. Numbers and Mr. Wrench (Adam Goldberg and Russell Harvard respectively). They are very intriguing characters that I think will really give Lorne Malvo (Billy bob Thornton) a real problem. Speaking of Mr. Malvo, let's talk about him. This week was an interesting week because we found out why he was in town. The story seemed interesting, but the only problem I had was if Stavros Milos (Oliver Platt) was so rich, why did they ask for so little?
We also Lester "coping" killing his wife. I really like Lester considering what he has done, but this week he didn't even go anywhere. Almost no character development at all, but seeing the police questioning him was intense. It was somewhat intriguing and somewhat annoying seeing Deputies Bill Oswalt and Molly Soverson (Bob Odenkirk and Allison Tolman) fighting about the case. I know the show is trying to make Molly look like the cop that Frances McDormand played who was right even if everyone else is wrong but it just doesn't work. Don't replicate an old character with a new one. It just doesn't work. At least Allison is giving a great performance.
The last character to talk about is Officer Gus Grimly (Colin Hanks). There's not much to say about him because we went from 2 minutes seeing him last week to 5 this week. While he is a interesting character, he really at no use. He's really done nothing the past couple episodes. Hopefully we start seeing more from him in the following episodes.
Overall, this week was another great episode even if it took a slower approach. While some characters had some trouble with character development, we were introduced to some great character that should improve the story. While things might be a tiny bit slow now, I feel the show is going to get faster, and still be the tense dark comedy/ drama that I very much enjoy.
