- GoofsMalvo is looking into his scope and shoots out of the window, but there's no way he could see anything, because the windows are covered with paper.
Careful observation at 0:26:36 shows the tear in the paper that the scope can see through and the raised window that he's shooting through is more noticeable at 0:27:02.

Featured review
Among the best episodes of any TV Series ever
I really liked Season 1 of Fargo, but I felt I needed to go back and review this particular episode, because it simply consists of some of the best 60 minutes I've spent in front of a screen.
Everything about this episode is magnificent. There are three different story-lines going on, and each one of them is intelligent, moving and poetic.
Martin Freeman's character surprises us all by showing how amazingly smart he gets once he's really up against the wall. Meanwhile, the Greek deals with his demons and his gods in a very emotional story.
Finally, what really makes this episode the masterpiece it is: Billy Bob Thornton's genius evil plan. It doesn't get much better than this when you're in front of a screen watching something. I'd also like to highlight Glenn Howerton's participation. I'm a big fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, so I admit I was very happy to see him in something different, and I may not be 100% objective on this. But I think his performance was so incredible that it wouldn't have been possible to achieve such greatness without him. It's a difficult and unconventional performance that was required, but he pulled it out like a truly great artist, which I think he is.
In conclusion, Fargo's first season is very good, and I would recommend everyone to see it. But it is this particular episode that really stands out as something memorable and unforgettable.
