The Story of LESTER NYGAARD | Fargo | Tribute Video

@j mula It's really not, but I love people who always pretend things are overrated or downplay a deserved success of one thing because the other thing they liked better was left in its shadow, let's me know not to take them seriously because they can't argue without using a flimsy comparison to try and prove a point. Breaking Bad was amazing and so was this season of Fargo.

[@benlane1267]

How this isn't sponsored or acknowledge by Fargo showrunners or FX is beyond me. One of the best character montages I've ever liked and subscribed for. You're a seriously gifted editor that should consider doing this as a career beyond KZbin. Thanks for sharing your creation with us, and I'm sure 714 others agree.

Lester followed Malvo into that elevator because, in a twisted way, he looked up to Malvo. He was a teacher that taught Lester the greatest rule of all: There are no rules. In a way, he's even grateful for Malvo helping him to actually be a man. Unfortunately, Malvo was at the time, not at liberty to explain to Lester that he is on business. Because of how Lester's head had grown too big, he is only capable of taking this as an insult, rather than thinking really hard and remember the kind of creature that Malvo is.

[@oskarsevruk6492]

he was not a man at any point, he used his wife as bait to save his own skin form the fire he started, and that was towards the end of his transformation

We all knew that Billy Bob Thornton was capable of a performance as good as the one he delivers in Fargo. But Martin, despite not putting a foot wrong in any of the roles he's played, even dramatic ones like John Watson, had yet to deliver a dramatic tour de force as the central protagonist. In Fargo, he not only delivered it, he took it upstairs, put it to bed and tucked it in. A fantastic job, note perfect.

Bilbo turned into an immortal being destined to walk the Earth for all eternity and served in multiple wars to stop evil to became the person known as John Watson. John eventually grew tired of Sherlock and his crazy antics and moved to lovely and peaceful Minnesota. But having been around Sherlock for so long, he adopted his sociopathic ways and became the Lester Nygaard we know today. But seriously though, this actually makes me want to watch the show. Good job! Been hearing lots of good things about it.

[@its_only_martin6888]

Even though he went way too far to survive, specifically later in the season, I must admit that I was quite sad when he finally died. I watch a lot of TV and I think he is up there with some of the greatest and most complex TV characters I have ever seen. Even though you know that he is doing wrong, you still root for him because of the shit he has put up with

[@noonecaresaboutgoogle3219]

Its_only_martin What I could never work out is why he insisted on following Malvo into that elevator? what was he possibly hoping to achieve? In fact, why did Malvo decide to do Leicesters dirty work for nothing in return in the first place? Was it some kind of pro bono assassination?

[@antonridefors4031]

+noonecaresaboutgoogle+ Following Malvo was stupid indeed, but I believe a few other people would do the same under the influence of alcohol. That's how I explain it to myself at least. alcohol.

[@noonecaresaboutgoogle3219]

shouldn't have drunk something dangerous.

[@kloud8447]

+Its_only_martin IKR! I don't like that he died..

[@benjaminpham8100]

+noonecaresaboutgoogle+ It's because Malvo likes to push people to their darker side, like the devil. He wants to see people go to their animal instincts, which is why he recorded moments of people doing bad things. And also why he had the evil smile in his final moments when Gus was forced to kill him, Gus was pushed to his animal instinct to survive(with the wolf as symbolism). It makes sense because he asked the question "Why do humans see more shades of green than any other color". The answer from Molly was because humans needed to survive, but the real answer to the question that Gus figured out was because humans needed to hunt.

[@georgfriedrichhandel4390]

Forget Sling blade. Forget The Bad News Bears. This was Billy Bob Thornton's best role ever. The cool demeanor he demonstrates as he methodically plans the murder of all those people is very impressive. He was born to play Lorne Malvo.

[@biamenezes7801]

Seeing people saying they were sad about Lester's death, I personally think the only reason I'm sad he died is because I wanted him to be plead guilty and see there's no more running or pretending, as there is no denying about him being guilty.

[@jaylamb1097]

[@hughmungus4274]

The first episode was amazing. All the shit he went through upto the washing machine scene had me feeling seriously bad for the guy, and then he fixed it and there was an amazing sense of joy for the character. And then shit went south and Pearl let rip a shit ton of hurtful things and I was sort of hoping he'd kill her. And then he did and all of a sudden it's flipped and it's like "Holy shit why would you do that?" Weird how emotionally involving this show managed to be right from the get go. High hopes for season 2

[@Macthella]

+fabian sadler Yep, really looking forward to season 2. This show had me from start to finish of every single episode. There were no characters that were not exquisitely drawn, right down to Lesters creepy boss with the teeth. And the formula of having series that are linked so tenuously is brilliant. It would have been great if Marge Gunderson or even her child had made a cameo in one of the episodes.

Lester’s biggest mistake was to encounter malvo again after getting away from a horrible past in the elevator scene otherwise his life would’ve been a fresh start and instead of being thankful to have a break free persona imposed upon him due to malvo’s influence he decided to let the narcissism control the behaviour.I guess it was meant to happen because evil deeds has consequences not to mention when lorne said,“it’s on you”.Martin Freeman totally nailed the character.

You may think i'm weird saying this but just think about it: There are no rules in life. Heck, you can just go outside and kill someone can and if you're smart, get away with it. There are no rules in life. civilization only brainwashes us to think that. we live in a strange world, stranger than you may seem. Fargo is all about not playing with the rules and the consequences that you may face if you didnt thats what i find most beautiful about the show, it gives you sense of the real world and its soo good that yoou feel like your lester, running from his actions and past. And not forgetting martin freemans cute innocent face is in this show, damn he is so cute trying to be soo badass!!!

[@AminCad]

Civilization doesn't brainwash us into thinking there are rules. Civilization passes down what generations before have learned: that if you act and live in a certain way, you will create a hell on Earth for yourself.

[@MrBrachiatingApe]

@@AminCad Whereas if you live and act in the right way, the world becomes a better place. Would we have all the manifold comforts, cures, and colossal improvements over the past if we all behaved like Lester? No. In fact, it's been more or less proven that a high-trust society is *required* for a high-functioning economy. That trust, that economy, and all the things we do with it? Those are the things that will save your life when you get sick, save your children from a lifetime of slavery, and save the human race by eventually creating a civilization across many worlds and even many stars. In fact, if the Milky Way is empty, and we as a species took the next step to look outward...settling and terraforming the galaxy could be fewer years in the future from now than the Sumer is in the past. Maybe less than the birth of Imperial Rome. Rules matter; this is one reason why, and perhaps not even the most powerful positive consequence we could get from abiding within the social contract.

[@AminCad]

@@MrBrachiatingApe Exactly

[@knova7597]

The whole concept of rules is just control over the lower collective. If an average joe breaks the rules he’ll suffer the consequences. I think it’s more about who can break the rules, because frankly the world seems to be run by people who constantly bend and break em..profiting off our suffering, killing people via expensive drug prices and military operations and then you have the exploitation of underaged girls on Epstein’s island..the only ones who can break the rules are the ones who make them and as Carlin said it’s a big club and you’re not in it.
