Talk:Fargo season 3

Jim Gaffigan

There are a group of IPs (probably one editor) persistently moving Jim Gaffigan to recurring, and now removing from the article, claiming he doesn't appear because of "scheduling issues." All the sources we have indicate Gaffigan IS in the series, and is in the main cast; the following was published on EW this morning: [1]. I've asked the IP to provide a source Gaffigan will not appear (and I'm not sure tonight will be sufficient to determine yes or no); I can't find one. --Drmargi (talk) 16:23, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

After doing some digging, I found this (scroll to the bottom of the review). It appears he won't be in the season after all. Of course, it would have been helpful is those IPs actually provided some sort of source. Drovethrughosts (talk) 16:34, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

That must have taken some hunting, because I couldn't find a thing! As you say, this would have been easier had the editor simply provided a source. --Drmargi (talk) 18:54, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Neither could I until I looked on the Fargo subreddit and a found a thread about it. I shall make the changes soon. Drovethrughosts (talk) 21:50, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Glad you found it. I don't spend much time on Reddit (too much testosterone for me), but can't help but wonder why it didn't come up on a google search. --Drmargi (talk) 00:25, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Are they twins?

In regards to Emmit and Ray Stussy, I've seen some back and forth on this in the article and on the main Fargo article. From McGregor himself, he stated he's not playing twins ([2]); the official descriptions of the characters on the FX website regard them as "slightly older brother" and "slightly younger brother" ([3]). Then there are external sources that refer to them as twins ([4], [5], [6]), of course that could just be the journalists making assumptions. Has there been anything in season so far that explicitly stated that they are twins or not? Drovethrughosts (talk) 12:53, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

I assumed they were twins, but then came across numerous descriptions of them as older and younger brothers. No one refers to twins that way, except perhaps as a joke, as twins can only be separated by minutes. And no - nothing in any of the aired eps said they are twins. And they cannot be identical twins as some have claimed (one letting himself go and the other not) as they have different eye color! 96.94.3.209 (talk) 13:23, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

It is integral to the plot that Ray is the younger brother. He claims to have been cheated in the inheritance because Emmit was older, and therefore more knowledgeable of the comparative value of the stamps and the Corvette. Jack N. Stock (talk) 23:41, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Varga is russian

He has a british accent, but V.M. Varga read the verse "Curved legs" and tell this is from his country, this verse wrote Kornej Tsjoekovski, who is from Russia. This confirms his origin more than his "British accent". Accent doesn't mean nothing. Accent may be the poor part of the acting. Or accent can be got if somebody lived many years in the same country. But the best thing to do it's to put his Unknown Origin on the main place, because by the story it's very important: Varga don't have roots. On the question "where are you from", he simply says "from america". He called himself "citizen of the world", he travels A LOT and his offshore all over the world. The best thing to do, is to change his origin to UNKNOWN, or mention his will to be called "Citizen of the world".— Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.148.208.147 (talk) 07:30, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

You're interpreting his dialogue, but we know he's evasive. The accent is the actor's natural accent, not poor acting. We can only conclude that he's British. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 08:31, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Listen to Varga's dialogue and follow the script and idea of scriptwriters and director. Do not listen to "natural accent" of the actor and don't make a conclusions because of his "natural accent". It's not a proof that this character is British. Follow the facts, not your senses. And maybe then wikipedia become better. Stop changing Varga's nationality to British. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.148.208.147 (talk) 15:45, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

With only two nationalities listed among all the characters, why the hell does any matter here? Varga has more stories than Heath Ledger's Joker? — Wyliepedia 08:42, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Because the secondary main idea of 3rd season of Fargo is influence of russian mafia and hackers to america. If Yuri presents Ukraine, Meemo presents Kazakhstan/China, and Varga must present Russia, but there are not strong proofs for that, only a smallest hint of Tchaikovsky's verse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.148.208.147 (talk) 15:45, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

"Varga must present Russia, but there are not strong proofs for that." I rest my case. — Wyliepedia 15:55, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

As there are not proofs at all even small hints that he is British. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.148.208.147 (talk) 16:42, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Yes there is: his British accent. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 18:50, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

You have said that this is "actor's natural accent". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.148.208.147 (talk) 19:03, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Peter and the Wolf is also Russian. Definitely a Russian motif this season. I have also thought it likely that Varga is Russian. It's not rare for a European to speak a second language at a native level. There are all sorts of ways that English can be learned to this level, especially if a person starts learning early in life.

All of this is speculation. Please provide a source. Power~enwiki (talk) 20:46, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Please read the thread. Speculation was mention of the nationality at first place. You did the right thing, that you removed it all. I've tried to do this many days.
