Here’s a tiny bit more information on Fargo’s second season

Now that season two of FX’s series Fargo has secured Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, teasers about its storyline are slowly dribbling out like blood from a beautifully filmed bullet wound. The latest hint about the direction of next year’s story comes in the form of Entertainment Weekly previewing an officially leaked script page from the premiere, giving a few more clues about Dunst and Plemons’ married couple, Peggy and Ed Blomquist. The scene has Peggy trying to quietly rub a mysterious blood stain out of her shirt collar, and offers a few tidbits about their respective personalities. (Ed Blomquist is described as “a cow, basically. Which sounds like a judgment, but is simply his classification in the animal kingdom.”)

In addition to revealing that the Blomquists will be “caught in an escalating war between a local crime gang and a major mob syndicate,” EW quotes showrunner Noah Hawley as saying the upcoming season will have an almost Western-like quality. “The scope of the storytelling this season is a lot bigger, it has more of an epic feel to it,” he says. And along with the show’s 1979 time period, Hawley says the Luverne, Minnesota setting is even more rural. “It’s not the ’70s in a Boogie Nights kind of way,” Hawley adds. So if your “Fargo Season Two” bingo card has a square for “Lots Of Porn,” you can probably forget about that one.
Plemons is that weird looking dude that is perfect for this kind of show.

I watched the new FOX show 'Empire' last night. Very good show with awesome music.

Looks like it's going to be a huge hit. Taraji and Terrence Howard work well together.

It competes with my Wednesday night ABC shows so I'll have to keep DVRing it for now.

I dunno about the show as a story, but the music is good. The song by the 2 younger sons with the gay one on piano was better than most stuff out there right now.

Golden Globes tomorrow: I think the most interesting category will be what wins between Fargo and True Detective for TV movie or Mini Series. BTW, I was in the Beverly Hilton last night, what a complete dump.

Tough call between those two, they were both excellent.

Yep, Kyle MacLachlan will star in the new Twin Peaks

Diane, make a note to stock up on coffee and cherry pie as Deadline reports that original series star Kyle MacLachlan has officially signed on to play Agent Dale Cooper in the renewed Twin Peaks. As we reported when the new season was first announced in October, series creators David Lynch and Mark Frost will write and produce a new nine-episode season of Twin Peaks for Showtime, with Lynch directing all nine episodes. The new episodes will take place in the present day, continuing, probably deepening, and hopefully solving some of the mystery of the original series. Showtime president David Nevins says that Frost and Lynch have been “very specific in promising closure, and that’s exciting.” Frost also confirmed MacLachlan’s casting on Twitter:

Patrick Wilson, Ted Danson, Nick Offerman and more join Fargo

The next group of stars to be banished to the frozen wilderness of Fargo has finally been confirmed, as FX has announced that Patrick Wilson, Ted Danson, Nick Offerman, Brad Garrett, and Jean Smart will all join the previously announced Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst in the second season of its Coen Brothers pastiche. Wilson takes the starring role of Lou Solverson, the younger version of Keith Carradine’s retired detective, who returns from Vietnam in 1979 to investigaterson a crimerson involving the moberson. Danson will play his father-in-law, Sheriff Hank Larsson, who’s described in the press release as embodying “a certain cowboy poetry,” such as the one about horses. The women who will link them— Solverson’s wife Betsy, and the 4-year-old version of Allison Tolman’s Molly—have yet to be cast. It’s unknown what kind of poetry they’re like.

As previously rumored, Offerman will take on the appropriately burly role of Karl Weathers (so named as to avoid trademark infringement on Carl Weathers), a local lawyer whom the press release deems “a flowery drunk”—a reference to his “gift for gab” and, presumably, piquant bouquet of scotch sweat. Those making their bid this year for Billy Bob Thornton-style career reinvention as terrifying criminals include Garrett as Joe Bulo, “the new face of corporate crime” who’s looking to expand his syndicate, Walmart-style, and Jean Smart as Floyd Gerhardt, the matriarch of the local crime family he’ll butt massive heads with. Garrett will be assisted in those endeavors by an enforcer played by Bokeem Woodbine, whose Wikipedia filmography suggests he probably won’t live very long.

Rounding out the cast are Jeffrey Donovan, Angus Sampson, and Kieran Culkin as Smart’s eldest, middle, and youngest sons, respectively—each with their own respective beliefs for why they deserve to be in charge of the family business, each with their own problems that demonstrate why they don’t. It’s not mentioned specifically how their ensuing mob war will involve Dunst’s small-town beautician with big-city dreams or Plemons as her doting butcher husband, but you know, finding that out is sort of the point of watching the TV show in the first place. You’ll be able to do that beginning next fall on FX.

This is sounding fantastic.:towel

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but Raimi developed an Evil Dead tv show for Starz. He wrote and directed the pilot and Bruce Campbell will star in it.

I like Rainn Wilson, but this Backstrom show looks like crap.

The kid had a dead canary in his locker.

Canary homicide..

Canamicide?

I will be watching it. Not sure for how long, but I will at least give it a chance.
I will absolutely watch the first few episodes as well. Just don't know if Odenkirk can carry the whole show.

Just started watching Rescue Me. Never got my attention during it's run, but pretty hooked on it now. I forgot how good Leary can be when the character fits him.

Watched the pilot for The Man in the High Castle on Amazon last night and really liked it. It's based on Philip Dick's novel of the same name about if we had lost WWII and Japan and Germany split the United States.
