1. What Happened In Sioux Falls?
FXThough the show only lasted for ten episodes, it did a
fantastic job of building a rich mythology. The world building in the show was incredibly impressive and left plenty of avenues for exploration in future seasons (if we get any). One of the biggest pieces to the larger puzzle was the Sioux Falls incident, which is hinted at several times but never fully explained. We first hear about it a couple episodes in ("It's goddamn Sioux Falls all over again!"), but don't get any details about it until Molly's father Lou tells the story to Lorne in his coffee shop. Lou tells him about events in 1979 that left a pile of dead bodies that "if piled up, would reach the second story." He talks about a man who was more of a "what" than a "who," and later tells Gus' daughter Greta that the events culminated at his house, where he waited on the porch with a shotgun, a young Molly inside, shotgun in hand in case the man showed up. His descriptions of the horrible Sioux Falls events sound like they'd make one
hell of a prequel season, and the details are left just vague enough that Noah Hawley could surprise us yet again with another gripping tale, turning Fargo into the anthology series we all hope it becomes.
