Ah, where is Eugene ?

 

You rang?

Yeah; I think my immediate reaction was that it was a tribute to "The Colbys".

I was looking around  fan discussion sites and the reaction's been a bit mixed. Most of the hard-core fans point out that it had been signposted earlier in the series. Also you've got to bear in mind that this set in 1979 - not long after "Close Encounters" came out, and at a time when there were infamously "real life" UFO sightings in North Dakota and Minnesota - something the Coen Brothers were clearly playing with.

With hindsight, my only real problem was that it was used affectively as a Deus Ex Machina rather than just a joke...

Eugene's Lair

Well! All I can say is I loved it. The explanation of the spaceship came from my son. He said that from the very beginning there were subtle references to aliens and spaceships, like when Peggy ran over that guy. Stickers on the wall of the garage/shop. And the fact that it was a story being "narrated" from a book by Martin Freeman, who was in series one. It is a case of Chinese whispers. When we humans tell a story we all add bits and dismiss bits, and so consequently things are never actually as factual as we think.

Another thing my son pointed out was that, Native Americans have their haircut when their fathers die, Hanze asked Peggy to cut his hair, So, the head of the Fargo family was his dad,Otto Gerhard, which I had guessed anyway as it was said Otto just took Hanze off the streets!  He was so degraded and insulted all the time he was with the Gerhard family, that in the end when he asked Peggy to cut his hair and said he was tired of this life, I think he meant the Gerhard way of life and that is why he finished off the members that he did in the end.

Just my opinion E. C. x
