I never did watch the first season but I just caught up (and watched the leak) on this season and holy shit is this great. I've become a Patrick Wilson fanboy. I've enjoyed pretty much every role of his that I've seen. Most recently (prior to this) that weird Bone Tomahawk movie. I thought I would forever think of him as Nite Owl from Watchmen but he has shed that skin.

S02E07 - It's already up on some sites, don't click unless you've watched it!

What a mess! Now both sides have a person lying to the head of their respective organization/family about how one of their own was killed and the authorities picking a side, I assume shit is about to really explode. And poor Blumquist's reputation is going to keep growing when Hanzee sees him meet with Milligan and pull Dodd out of his trunk. I love the Hanzee character but he's so badass that I hope Blumquist winds up killing him with a turkey leg or some shit. I loved the build up the Undertaker was getting only to get smoked in like five seconds. And lastly, Bear putting a bullet in Simone's head. I kept thinking he was going to have a change of heart and let her go but nope. That whole scene reminded me of the Pine Barrens episode of The Sopranos. I really disliked Simone's character so I'm happy to see her gone.

Watched the first season of this the other day. So damn good. Billy Bob and Freeman were fantastic.

Those last ten minutes. Damn.

"Okay then." Still don't get what all of the UFO shit is about or why aliens would intervene in Sioux Falls. But it was hilarious how basically "whatever" a majority of the characters were to the fact that a fucking giant UFO was hovering in front of the motel. Existing solely as a means to save Lou's life before leaving. Was a very... wtf moment. Not sure if I want there to be more about it in the finale or if I just want them to go ahead and pretend that it didn't happen. Anyway, Hanzee is still a lunatic fringe badass, stabbing Mama Gerhardt in the abdomen while looking into her eyes. Stone cold, chief. He's such an efficient killer that I will be completely surprised if he doesn't die to the luck o' the Blomquists.

"Ray... the gun."

Forgot this started last night, just watched it. So glad it's back.
