i am pretty sure that they were intended as a midnight cowboy reference

I thought he meant that he was suspecting that there were some extra snippets of asl dialogue that no one in the show translates

She kinda already did, she just can't convince anybody. And it could stay that way, at this rate. For all we know, Key & Peele will take down Sling Blade and Mr. Show will collar The Hobbit.
I just mean she's now like 8 months preggers or whatever Marge was

Edit: Wrong nickname
She must not have heard the
And just saw him defending himself against two much larger teens.
edit: Anyway I sort of got the feeling she was harboring a crush on him by the way she looked at him when he first returned to work.
There are plenty of people out there who are attracted to exactly that kind of take no shit attitude, even if it isn't usually a good thing.
Her hair is also totally Marge now.
Also, true to Coens' form, conformists are all either assholes or imbeciles or both.
i think they've done a pretty good job of pulling back on this tendency, actually. the central nonconformists are malvo and lester. most of the protagonists - gus and molly especially - are for the most part trying to exist within their communities rather than outside their communities. molly is frustrated by the rules but stubbornly works within them. gus wants to be a mailman! one of the central facets of the show, actually, is malvo's malign influence in desocializing people into radical individualists and it always being for the worst.
i especially admire how they humanized the Bill character. he's over his head and bad at his job but he's a decent, sympathetic person. narratives, and especially mass-market tv narratives have a way of reflexively casting foils as villains. also odenkirk surprisingly nails that role and plays it completely without the kind of sneering irony he usually brings.
True, but Gus and Molly's central conflicts so far have been against their own institutions for not respecting authority, despite both of their desires to do so. Both prefer conformity, but not at the cost of justice going undone.
I also like the way they've made Bill sympathetic, but he's just a little too bad at his job for me to rationalize away my disdain for him. He comes across as a guy that likes to be in charge but hates working, and that's always loathsome character. The general incompetence of the police here can be really frustrating from a narrative standpoint, especially considering that the case just isn't that difficult to put together.
I'm surprised we haven't seen Oliver Platt lately. Is that storyline over now or what?
I shiver to think about how things are going to go down for them. I really really really hope the three of them have a at least untouched by everything. Same with Bill actually. He may be an idiot who's pride has gotten in the way of catching two killers, but he's also at least likable.
Also maybe Bill is thinking more clearly than Molly since Malvo flat out murdered 22 people who he thought were coming after him, what would stop him from going full terminator on the Bemidji police force? Absolutely nothing.

I'd like to think he was that protective, but you gotta remember that he was being pretty dumb from the beginning, before Malvo went on the rampage. He was the one that kept screwing up suspect interviews and floating his dumb "gang of drifters" theory about Lester and Vern.
It was really awkward, but yeah at the same time it was showing Bill in his own way is trying to balance the books. Of course snarky jerks on the interboobs are quick to point out that the man he had with him probably wasn't the student he was looking for and he just randomly decided one african is as good as another...

...I mean, I guess we already knew that, but that ending...

He's the greatest Hitman of all time, really - he puts in that much work, but his survival instincts are so strong that he's willing to let it all go at the first sign of trouble. He's also an incredibly fast learner and a complete chameleon (getting a girl that hot and young to marry you in 6 months - wow). There's no way he's going to die next week, at most he'll get injured and escape like Anton Chigurh.
When malvo shoots the people in the elevator, he winks at lester right before he killed his fiancee, as if giving Lester a nod of "And here's the best way to kill your spouse."

There's also the irony that
I actually hated that line. It felt waaaaaay too much on the nose.

That scene was hilarious.

It's funny, we know Lorne is a horrible person, just absolutely human filth. But unlike Lester I don't consider him as awful, just because Lorne clearly only cares about Lorne and never hides that.

Its probably too big for the forums, but this gif is aces!
pleasepaypreacher.net
Honestly Lorne is more freaky sexually than I would expect from someone so masculine. I mean ass play? Lorne you dog.
pleasepaypreacher.net
which is an even worse decision

Thumb up the butt is small time, if she would have said tongue now we're talking.
It just occurred to me that gunfingers is Lorne's way of saying, "I wish I could shoot you right now."

In an ideal world, the forum staff would be fans of this show and "Aces!" would replace "Hail Hydra"
We already have Awesome though...
Another great episode. I love how the parable from the title inevitably makes its way into the plot or at least the ethics of each episode. Lester's answer to the riddle was even worse than the Turducken answer though.
