- TriviaThe title refers to a Zen koan. A cook had had his preparations delayed for a meal he was supposed to serve a Zen master and his disciples. He quickly goes to the garden, chops up the vegetables, and makes a soup. In his haste he accidentally included part of a snake in the soup. The disciples love the soup, but the master finds the snake's head in his soup. He calls the cook and says, "What is this?" The cook replies, "Oh thank you, master," takes the snake's head, and eats it quickly.
- GoofsWhen Mr. Wrench and Mr. Numbers are at the diner, the mustard bottle is knocked over on its side and there is no menu visible at first. When they are arguing, the bottle is suddenly upright next to the ketchup and a menu appears against the wall, until Mr. Wrench pounds his hands on the table, at which point he knocks the bottle over and causes the menu fall to the floor behind the table and disappear, restoring the table to how it appeared earlier in the scene.

Featured review
Fargo: S1E4 "Eating the Blame" Review - King Cadmium
When Gus tries to rectify a wrong, Malvo embraces his alter ego. Lester finds himself in a surprising situation, and Molly uncovers a promising lead.
What I Liked:
The cinematography is solid, and each scene perfectly implements its beautiful and mesmerizing music score. On top of that, each actor gives a strong performance, with Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman being the clear standouts.
Malvo is one of the most intriguing individuals you will see on television, with Thornton's portrayal being nothing short of superb, along with Freeman's portrayal of Lester.
The cliffhanger to end this episode is perfectly constructed, leaving the viewer eager to watch the next episode as the credits roll.
What I Disliked:
Deputy Knudsen's appearance after Lester escapes from Mr Numbers and Mr Wrench felt like a highly contrived moment. Lester needed a plausible way to get away, but having a deputy appear conveniently near the area doesn't achieve this.
Overall:
Fargo delivers yet another fantastic episode early in its run. As the plot thickens, one can only surmise this show will get even better from this point forward.
9/10
