Fargo 5x8 - Roy kills Danish

Fargo S5 - Ep 8: Blanket

[@LeserohneEigenschaften-gs3ft]

I keep hearing that Danish did something stupid here, but it's actually the opposite. He just underestimated Roy's stupidity - in the end, Danish's disappearance on the Tillman farm also led to the police being charged, among other things. Danish is used to playing smart, institutional games - Roy's response is "BOOM"

[@hellomimibanana]

Roy’s not stupid, he’s just ruthless. He was also too proud, he didn’t want to have to make a deal to win the election. I don’t even think it had anything to do with wanting to keep Dot there. His belief is that, no matter what, if he kills you, you lose. Which, is kinda true 😂

[@LoudaroundLincoln]

Danish was a bit of a revelation. With the job, his boss Lorraine, his eye patch and general demeanor you think hes going to be a right prick. When the reality is hes only a bit of a prick, cos how could you not be in his line of work. He actually turns out to be a generally decent and courageous individual. Nobody made him walk in there after Dot.

The way he uses the gun to rise from his chair

at 1:59 where the angle makes it look like he has horns is so cool

Man, i thought danish was going to be more important at the start 😔

[@feykrosias7613]

Roy was right, in a sense. Danish wasn't smart enough: a smart man wouldn't be in the same room with an animal. He mistook Roy for a man and assumed his rationality.

[@damontoledo8253]

I just love how Danish scoffs at his cowardice at 1:28. "You're no tough guy."

[@gluck5869]

Danish had every reason to believe he held all the cards. In a rational conversation he would've been right to dismiss Roy's threat as posturing, unfortunately the moment he walked into the compound he entered redneck bizarro world. He underestimated Roy's willingness to completely self destruct over Dot.

[@jakerobles1669]

Yet he died haha

[@damontoledo8253]

@@jakerobles1669 And not in vain. He knew that if he died then Roy would be in a world of hurt.

When Danish went to the ranch alone and didnt contact Lorraine about what he was doing, I knew he was a goner

[@catherinebreitfeller669]

This season 5 was awesome !! 👌👌

[@PatriciaPena-fr7gr]

Dude I totally agree, I keep seeing KZbin channels hating on it saying it's not working and it missed the mark I don't know what they were watching I thought it was right on par with season 1 and 2

Good question, Roy .

[@youforget1000thingsaday]

Why would this dodo bird go alone AND UNARMED?? You wouldn't catch me alone with this dude without the blicky, LMFAO

[@Dandyflip]

Dont think him having a gun would help, he was probably searched before entering the property anyway. He did hesitate to go, but in a previous episode a cop told him she is kidnapped and he needs to hurry if he wants to save her. He took a risk to try to save her, didnt pay off though, but courageous attempt nonetheless.

[@youforget1000thingsaday]

​​@@DandyflipHe still went alone. That's worse. Arrogance got him popped.

[@vastpiano5552]

Because he is a lawyer, a good lawyer, he is used to fight legal battles. He didn't expect to get shot for a peaceful legal inquiry

[@deboxmojave6541]

I really liked this season. It had way less pretentious rambling dialogue scenes than the other seasons.

[@Hungblackboi]

Guess u skipped the scenes with munch lol

[@deboxmojave6541]

@WanderingJew- hahaha a good point. I somehow found him less annoying than some of the other main offenders.

[@HeatyFrog]

What do you mean by pretentious? You mean you didn't understand what they were talking about and why it was relevant?

[@deboxmojave6541]

@@HeatyFrog yes that's exactly it. It was so clever that it went right over my head. You nailed it.

[@HeatyFrog]

​@@deboxmojave6541 Well, that isn't what I said though. Which is kind of my point. Next time you feel like describing something as "pretentious", why don't you instead try actually engaging with it? Don't assume that it's trying to trick you, or prove that it's more clever than you. Just actually listen to what is being said

[@michaellightbown9492]

[@yojon4905]

This show can’t reach the heights of seasons 1&2

[@MalakianM2S]

You could call it the True Detective Syndrome, both instances post season 1&2 series are way above average imho anyways.

[@vingasoline5068]

Season 3 is underrated and always has been imo. Rewatched it recently and granted it is more of a slow burn than any other season, and much more psychological but after episode 4 it really picks up. Plus Varga is one of the greatest villains of all time, up there with Malvo, Gus Fring, and Anton Chigurh in my opinion. I actually liked this newest season quite a bit too, more than I expected

[@hellomimibanana]

100%!! Even though I have liked every season after.

[@ColonBurns]

I dont understand why he would ask Danish a question but then kill him before he can answer, it just seems like he could have waited for an answer otherwise why ask the question

[@AlexanderMccarthey87]

This scene was disappointing. I thought he'd play a part in the way things turned out.

[@Onmysheet]

It emphasises how much of a pos Roy is and how Danish underestimated him big time.

[@ItheauthorityI]

I mean he did. If he hadn't arrived Roy would have killed Dot.

[@LanceVanceDance84]

@@ItheauthorityI Not to mention his presence there was later discovered by Indira and Lorraine due to his cell phone pinging the nearest tower. If that hadn't happened, they wouldn't know with any certainty where he or Dot were located (his arrival likely prevented Roy from killing her, as he seemed ready to do so). And the whole reason Danish goes there without ever telling Lorraine is because he felt bad for having Dot (who was also his own client) unjustly committed and felt that he owed it to her to try and help (which ties into the season's themes regarding debt). Unfortunately, he went in there with the naive assumption that money and power can solve any problem; he completely underestimated just how rigid Roy is in his beliefs and how quick he is to resort to violence, and it cost him his life.

[@Monk_Chud]

Seemed like a cast with a lot of potential, but it never really came together, followed by a predictable bloodbath. The Jon Hamm character was trying to embody too many bad guys at once - corrupt cop, MAGA firebrand, polygamist cult leader. Pick a lane, please. Nor was there a backstory to explain how being an abused spouse could make Juno Temple into 90 lbs of Jason Bourne. And what’s up with stealing the assassin’s speech pattern from Jaqen H'ghar (Faceless Man from Game of Thrones)? Great movie, solid first season, now living off the brand.

[@Monk_Chud]

[@BatmanHQYT]

Roy looks like Don once all the drinking and smoking got to him.

[@proskeptical789]

Why not just call him on the phone? Why go there & especially bring up ruining his campaign to his face knowing he’s violent? Watching this season to the previous seasons especially 1 & 2 is like night & day

[@trevatkinson5423]

I think Danish was trying to save Dot. Witt told him to act, and act fast. Danish was trying to do what was right. He said “immediate release” Danish thought he could have Dot out of there in his Porsche that night

[@LoudaroundLincoln]

He had a lot to offer Tillman. He made an error in judgement, though. He failed to realise what an irrational psychopath Tillman is.

[@australopithecus9614]

I think he felt guilty about putting dot in the psych ward, he wanted to right his wrongs

[@LoudaroundLincoln]

@@australopithecus9614 possibly.

[@adamseidel9780]

That’s one of the only things that DOES make sense in this terrible season. A man like Danish would never expect a man like Roy Tillman to kill him… mostly because it makes absolutely zero goddamn sense that he would.
