The Law of Non-Contradiction

Honestly, the first two episodes of the third season so far were pretty average. Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad, but they didn't really stack up to the high caliber the last two seasons were at. That is, until this episode. 'The Law of Non-Contradiction' has to be hands-down the best episode of Fargo yet. Instead of focusing on the normal characters, like the show normally does, this episode takes us into the past of a minor character, one we didn't really need to know anything about. The thing is, the character becomes interesting with all the twists and turns they go through and at the end of the episode it really does feel like a glorious case study (get it, glorious...Gloria 😂), one that brings us closer to one of the main characters after all. If this season keeps it up, aw jeez man, we're in for a good trip to Minnesota after all.

I liked how Thaddeus story made me questioning the future of Quantum technology crossing the old fashioned binary language 0/1 which was shown in Minskey story.

Beautiful episode. This type of episode makes Fargo the best series I've ever watched. Philosophical, artistic, filled with elements, and attention to detail, everything is beautiful about this series.

I've read all the other 15 or so reviews and I agree most with dkid_luke May 8, 2017 using the same headline you see above. WORTH THE READ ... IMHO enjoy (

This episode is a brilliant encapsulation of one of the themes of this season, which is that everyone's truth is their own, and that there is no absolute truth. There are so many lines of dialogue in this season that illustrate this. Even the opening statements that this is a true story, which we know is not true, demonstrate this. When you watch a show like this you really have to pay attention to the ongoing dialogue, or it's not going make sense.

If you think it was a mistake that there was an age discrepancy related to this story with Gloria's stepfather, watch the series again and listen to the quotes people say about truth and stories. This episode's story is an amalgamation of the waitress's memories from a time she was barely conscious, an interview with an Alzheimer's patient, and Gloria's independent research of a dead man she barely knew. Combine that with the fact that this show loves to throw in themes of aliens, there is no absolute truth as to who her stepfather was or what happened when he lived in LA if he ever did.
