A little FARGO prediction...
Didja you see last Monday's episode? Not quite a wood chipper (like in the FARGO movie) but close, and still entirely Minnesotan, eh.
Didja you ever read Shakespeare's Titus? No, probably not. But didja ever see the movie TITUS based on the Shakespearean play? Anthony Hopkins plays Titus. Jessica Lange plays Tamora the Goth Queen.
Well if you didn't see the movie, or read the play, what happens is...
Titus is an older war hero. Tamora is the queen of his enemies, now a captive of Titus, resulting in Titus disemboweling her oldest son as punishment for her war crimes. Politics ensues, resulting in Tamora becoming the lover to the most powerful man of state. Tamora then instructs her remaining two living sons to rape Titus's daughter, which the boys do, and then cut of her hands and tongue so she can't identify her attackers. But the daughter does anyway by writing the names of her attackers in the sand with a stick. In retribution, Titus fools the two boys into his home where he hangs them up by their feet, cuts them open, bleeds them dry, grounds up their bodies and bakes them into two pies... which Titus then serves to their mother, Tamora, as a peace treaty. After Tamora consumes a few slices of pie, Titus reveals to her that the meat in the pies were actually her sons.
Okay then...
So now I'm wondering if somewhere down the line, perhaps an episode or two, if the freshly ground "chuck" isn't going to land some place very Shakespearean?
