Possible Spoilers! Last nights Fargo: Who else half expected to see

[Floyd R. Turbo]

The Stranger aka Sam Elliott sitting at the bowling alley bar?

[PennyK]

1. Yep!

Ray the kitten was a nice touch.

[Yavin4]

2. I need to know more about Ray the kitten.

What is his origin story? What's his arc?

[PoliticAverse]

3. I thought that scene belonged more in Twin Peaks than in Fargo. n/t

[Fla Dem]

9. Agree. I didn't understand that sequence at all. (Spoilers)

To me it felt like an out of body experience. Ws the guy supposed to be her guardian angel?

This is how Wikipedia describes the scene.

"Nikki and Mr. Wrench happen upon a bowling alley where Nikki meets Paul Marrane (Ray Wise). Marrane encourages her to fight the wickedness of the world. He also leaves her and Mr. Wrench a car, which they flee in. Yuri reaches the bowling alley where Marrane confronts him with the sins of his past."

EW Episode 8 recap:

"Turning into the home stretch of the third season of Fargo, the volume got turned way up during this eighth episode. Coen Brothers references abound. There’s plenty of Judaism. And I’m not entirely sure what it all meant. In summary, it was pretty much everything that we could want from an episode of Fargo, which is a great thing from a season that has been missing the energy of previous installments.

That being said, I probably would have been a lot more patient with the season if I had known that it would evolve into a remake of The Defiant Ones starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Mr. Wrench from season 1."

4. Who the hell WAS that actor? It wasn't Sam Elliot, was it?

He looked and sounded like Robert Walker......

6. The actor is Ray Wise. His character Paul Marrane was introduced earlier in the season.

8. I thought he looked familiar. Thanks. (nt)

5. LOL !

Me too. Also the chase scene was straight out of the movie. Hawley has several homages to the brothers in the show. I also liked a Mike Zoss reference, an associate producer who they named the pharmacy after in No Country for Old Men.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

7. Yep! Nice catch on Mike Zoss. I'm still trying to figure out the green VW bug.

[Les Cowbell]

10. From Blood Simple?

Was M. Emmett Walsh's VW green?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

11. The color was rust! But I'm thinking you're right on about the reference!
