Is fine.
But to me it fits right in with the way the Coens use to make movies. And this series is very much made in their spirit.
Same with the weird hair cut obsession by Hanzee.
Loved it, great series. Never realised until the end how it tied in with series 1.

Yeah, that was very clever how the finale tied-into the first season.
All in all this was a fantastic series/season. I prefer it to the first, tbh(which is saying something given how great the first season was.)

Loved S2 more than the first. Guessing they'll do a third due to popularity, but haven't checked.

S2 definitely is better than S1, which was darn near outstanding. Which makes S2 a super achievement.

Season 3 will air in 2017.
The third season will be set in 2010, four years after Season 1, but will not include any of the first season regulars as primary players in the action. “That’s not to say that one of our stories might not intersect with characters we’ve seen before for a certain period of time,” Hawley allowed.
As fans of the first season noted, the second season ends with Zahn McClarnon’s now-fugitive Hanzee assuming the new identity of Moses Tripoli. Mr. Tripoli was the mob boss who employed Sam Hess, the bully who pestered Martin Freeman’s Lester Nygaard in Season 1 that helped set off that chain of bloody events. Mr. Tripoli also had two henchmen, Mr. Wrench and Mr. Numbers — one who is hearing impaired just like one of the boys playing in the field the last time we see Hanzee at the end of Season 2.

Love all the little tie-ins. Brilliant writing.

I would say- and I love Fargo immensely- I am not sure the Moses Tripoli tie-in entirely worked for me. I have difficulty connecting the two characters.

Because they did not seem to be remotely comparable people. It's a very arbitrary connection.

True, but hardly vital to the story, is it.

Not at all, no; it was just the one bit where I think they overeached a tad in connecting the two series.
I might also say that I think Betsy's refutation of Camus was useless- aside from anything else, Camus had children. But I am not sure if that was meant to be serious comment from the writers or if it is just the sort of thing we might expect Betsy to say. Regardless, her situation as much as anyone's in Fargo fairly much underlines the absurdity of life.

Going back to season 1, have to sort of agree with Ush, the Moses (old fat bald guy who was killed) we saw a peak of was not in line at all with Hanzee. Even if we take Hanzee's need of wanting to be "professional", it's still extreme in both looks and character.
Am wondering if there's going to be another twist concerning Hanzee in S3 now.

The idea was that Hanzee was not really the Moses we saw killed in S1 and he's still out there, doing Hanzee stuff. But yeah, likely just a pipedream.

I did consider that but, leaving aside some narrative stroke of brilliance that I cannot foresee, I can't see how they would do that without it amounting to "What was the point of all that, then?"
It was just a link too far in the end, I think. He would have been perfectly good just as the guy who inspired Mr Numbers and Mr Wrench.

Well, isn't "What was the point of all that, then?" not a typical Coen theme?
