I admit most of my interest and passion for this season of "Fargo" has gone out the window; everyone has their own valued opinion, and mine is, "I waited years for THIS?" Honestly, I'm truly glad for all of you who are captivated and entranced by this season, and I truly hope it keeps getting better and better for you as the story progresses.
So now that I'm not engrossed, I'm watching "from a distance", and I'm starting to wonder if this season is a combination of 2 separate, undeveloped stories that couldn't quite be fleshed out, like the Beatles' classic "Day in the Life" was a combination of a song John couldn't finish and a song Paul couldn't finish. The whole "Miss Mayflower" story just doesn't fit into the rest of the story for me. Sure, maybe in the last couple episodes, it'll all roll together, but right now, you could cut either story out and it wouldn't affect the other one; heck, last week she wasn't even in it but for 5 seconds.
Also, we might have had our first glaring anachronism last night; now, I could DEFINITELY be wrong, but if I'm not mistaken the term "Human Resources" didn't replace "Personnel" until the 1980's. Unless the trendy hospital was way ahead of the curve, but it doesn't seem to be that hip.
So I'll keep watching, and enjoying all the scenes that were shot 5 minutes from my house, and keep the faith that the next season will be better. After all, even the Beatles had "Beatles for Sale".
