I laughed at Lester's brother cheering in the background while Lester is going full auto with that M60.
Can someone remind me how Lester got that wound on his hand that he always checks?

Yeah, just when I forget about the wound, it starts oozing again. I'm tossed up between the wound, or the dumbass kids playing the bigger role in Lester's eventual downfall. Presumably the shot is still in the wound, but have they specifically made that clear?
Being shot in the ass with the bolt was pretty funny. I also chuckled at Billy Bob still dragging the guy by the tie as they got to the parking garage.

Well, I guess we know where the Supermarket King got his fortune from.

It's hard for me to say too much about the show other than I cannot remember a show that has been so consistently good right out of the gate as this one. I don't watch American Horror Story and haven't watched True Detective yet, but if this is what we get out of shows where the story and cast change each season, I strongly approve.

I really loved the interaction with the "wimpy" cop and the quite smart deputy. It was really organic and well done.
Billy Bob is great as the new blackmailer.

It's scary how good this show has been so far. Great cast.
Lorne Malvo has been very menacing, but I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of Mr. Wrench and Mr. Numbers.

Billy Bob has been great, but so has the rest of the cast. I'm surprised at how well Martin Freeman is handling the role of Lester. Almost makes me forget Bill Macy originated it.

Diefenbach Realty is a reference to Riley Diefenbach, which I hope that company finally got those VIN numbers.

I had my doubts about the show because it was hard to see how they can span this out to a season (nevermind if they're doing multiple seasons). But I have to say that I'm happy with how it's unfolded and the pacing is very good.

Spoiler:
Same here. Which would make Lester's story about being knocked out BEFORE the Chief was shot inconsistent.

It's an ice scraper. Used to remove ice from windshields.
