Fargo Scene - 'Did you know the human eye can see more shades of green than any other color?'

Lorne Malvo the Predator.

S01E04 - "Eating the blame"

[JackOfSomeTrades]

I always loved how the show framed Malvo as some supernatural being. In exorcism, you don't have the demon's full attention unless you can address it by name. Here, Malvo doesn't show his true face until Gus does exactly that.

Frank Peterson: “I’ll be praying on it.”
Lorne Malvo: “I’ll be preying on it.”

For all those wondering we see green so we can tell the predators apart from the foliage. :)

Billy Bob Thornton is in my opinion, one of the most talented, underrated actors alive.

[Tully_is_Dead]

Great performance. Genuinely terrifying and evil character

[guitarman]

0:11 Now that is brazen move for Saul Goodman. Not just a slimy lawyer but will actively walk his client out dressed as a cop. That's dedication .

[-ShootTheGlass-]

The expression on Malvo’s face just before he turns to face the cop is brilliant acting.

Predators. Billy Bob Thornton was superb with this role.

0:52 There's something I just love about the music that kicks in after Gus reveals that he can spot Malvo as the predator he is, among the "shades of green" he would normally blend into. Amazing TV show. My all-time favourite.

To see the snake hiding in the grass...

[Jackson]

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?

[HareeshRaja]

One of the greatest performances in television history by Billy Bob Thornton

This scene is priceless. You see Gus go through such a huge range of emotions. From exasperation that his boss can't see Malvo for what he is (He's LYING!) to that look of bewildered confusion when he starts to emotionally understand psychopaths can lie and manipulate (as opposed to just knowing this as trivia, the subjective experience is different) to Malvo's grin when Gus says his name and Malvo knows he has an adversary aware of what he is (what good is playing a game if nobody gets you're playing it), and the shades of green reflected in Malvo's glasses when he asks why the human eye can see more shades of green than any other colour. In less than 2 minutes you see realistic confusion, exasperation, acknowledgment, excitement and fear ping, ping, ping, ping like dominoes going down. Amazing show.

as close to artistic perfection as you can get

"Lorne Malvo!" Speak of the devil and he shall appear...

[alexthrailkill]

“You’re making a mistake” sent absolute shivers down my spine

[ImTash.O]

Billy Bob was impeccable as Malvo, one of my favourite TV characters ever.

Did anyone spot a technique. Instead of answering a direct question, he answered by saying something that was ordinary" I sure hope you catch those people' statement as continuing as if he hadn't heard the question. People do this all the time, pretend to mishear on purpose, to make themselves innocuous and to be ask such a question, itself was a violation. Parents do it with children. He even went and called him son.I don't know what it is called but it is a technique.

[zkittlezthabanditt]

I cannot lie, I love his character, and I love how he's such a powerful force to where he can literally get away with murder in the craziest of circumstances

[efenty]

what a pleasant man with such interesting ideas. i sure hope he hasn't done anything bad
