Fargo Season 2 Episode 6 'Rhinoceros' Full TV Reaction!!

Comments

When Dodd's daughter says Kiss my Grits, that is a reference to a popular 70's tv sitcom called Alice. Flo, one of the diner waitresses would tell people to KIss her Grits (KIss my Ass) when they ticked her off. I just wanted you young ones to know, you seemed a little confused by that scene.

Yes, the poem appears in Through the Looking Glass, And What Alice Found There. It is a poem that Alice reads but can’t make sense of it, except that someone killed something. In the poem the boy cuts off the jabberwocky’s head, so maybe Mike is reciting it because he is going to try to kill the head of the Garehardt family.

Oops! Well, at least it's not a spoiler.

Isn't that song in the next episode? 😉

And the song "I Just Dropped In" is in a fantasy sequence in "The Big Lebowski", although this was a cover and that was the original.

I love that this episode has a very real-time kind of feel. It probably only spans a few hours at the most. The editing is just excellent in the way it keeps a steady pace of rising suspense. A cover of the song 'A Man of Constant Sorrow' plays over the credits as a reference to the Coen's movie 'O Brother Where Art Thou?' Another reference is that Lou actually says "we're talking about farm boys that have never been face to face with a serious man before" when he's talking to Karl about the backup that's still an hour away. 'A Serious Man' is the title of yet another Coen Bros. movie.

Make sure you watch all the way through the credits. Therein lies a surprise. In the car on the way to Luvern, Mike Milligan was reciting "Jabberwocky", a nonsense poem by Lewis Carroll. It's impressive he could recite it, even as an actor, since its bizarre use of English words and nonsense words means it's not really a foreign language, but twisted English, difficult to remember. I tried way back in the day and it defeated me.
