[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Loved Season 1.  Just finished Season 2 over the weekend.  While it was strong, a number of touches just seemed self indulgent.  The UFOs were very annoying and didn't add anything to the story.  Furthermore, the obsession with Vietnam was absurd.  In my experience, people don't talk about their service in wars and they wouldn't be talking about it in 1979 given that direct US military involvement ended in 1973.

I can see the one attorney going on about Nixon and Watergate because he was a conspiracy enthusiast but other than that, your average person would not be going on about Nixon. (FWIW, I was 24 in 1979.)

However on another note - a really bizarre coincidence.  I heard on Radiolab yesterday morning the story of Charles Bliss who invented Blissymbols and last night I saw the last episode of Season 2 and heard Ted Danson's character give the exact same rationale for developing his symbols.  They had to have read about Charles Bliss, too, in developing this script.  Anyway, it was the last thing I expected to see on Fargo last night.
