I saw a theory that Malvo IS the devil in truth, and it is why he can kill without any emotion whatsoever, screw with other people mercilessly, yet leave alone, even go out of his way not to hurt the innocents like Molly or Gus. Three times he was in a situation where it would seem Malvo would act against Gus and yet he decided not to. I doubt that they will go supernatural at the end, but there was the comment about the cherry pie "Best I have had since the Garden of Eden".
Maybe it was cherry pie...All right guys, don't forget to tip your cherubs and serpents and now on the Tree of Life stage lets give it up for E-E-E-Eve!
She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise...

No good ever came from cherry pie.

Holy shit. Lester. What a selfish piece of shit.
Poor Linda. Once he made her put on the red coat, she was toast. She totally didn't deserve that. I hope Malvo does something sick & twisted to him next week in the finale.
You have to admit, Martin Freeman and Billy Bob were both awesome as the anti-heroes of this series.

Is it plausible that Lester could have a successful insurance business in only 1 year? Sure he probably had insurance money from his dead wife to help start it, but it seems much too quick to already have a successful enough business that would get him Salesperson of the Year - especially in the small town he's in.
I think some of the shots of the hotel hallways could've been an homage to Barton Fink.

I wonder if we'll have a deus ex machina in the way of the "Deaf Fella"? I'm thinking Malvo has Molly and/or Gus in his sights, and he shows up like Malvo asked him to a year ago.
I can't tell if Key & Peel are supposed to be good agents that fucked up, or goofy agents trying to get out of the file room. They talk how they staked that place out for 6 long, boring months, so I can kind of see the slip up by letting Malvo slip by. But all of their scenes have this goofball quality to them and it's hard to take them seriously. Then Key or Peel tells the Molly and the Chief how excellent her police work was with this air of authority that really seemed a little out of place coming from him.
We caught up with this show over the past 2 weeks, and I just love it.

I think Key and Peele are screw ups, but Eff Bee Eye is going to initially sound impressive to small town cops.
But I think almost any idiot could look at Molly's work and see it was impressive. Bob Odenkirk just tuned out anything she said.

It would be funny if Lester is blamed for killing his (new) wife and ends up in the same prison with his brother.

It's a damn shame that tomorrow's episode is the final one of the season. I have no idea how they're going to tie everything up in one episode.

I know this was being billed as a 10 ep miniseries - but is there a chance FX orders more and gives it a season 2 or is it 100% a 1 and done situation? Absolutely love this show.

I hope season 2 goes back in time to show us the "Sioux Falls Incident" that's been mentioned a few times from the 70's.
