Caroline Brew editor SPOILER ALERT:This story contains spoilers for Season 5, Episode 9 of “Fargo,” now airing on FX and streaming on Hulu. Lamorne Morris was in the middle of watching the third season of “Fargo” when he got a call about being on the show. As a fan, he was eager to see how he would fit into the world he had watched on screen.
In the fifth season of the Noah Hawley-created anthology series, he plays North Dakota state trooper Witt Farr, as the show’s escalating drama revolves around Minnesota housewife Dorothy “Dot” Lyon (Juno Temple), who is on the run from her abusive ex-husband Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm). Witt Farr plays a pivotal role in the season’s penultimate episode, as Roy is finally catching up to Dot, or Nadine (her old name), which is what Roy exclusively calls her.
In the episode, the question of whether she can avoid him shifts to how she can escape him. And the answer to the latter is through the help of others, including her once antagonistic mother-in-law Lorraine (Jennifer Jason Leigh), who enlists the FBI to raid the Tillman ranch in search of Dot.
Witt Farr gets a call from deputy Indira Olmstead (Richa Moorjani), who tells him, “You gotta go save her, Mrs. Lyon.” With that, he is on his way to lead the FBI in their mission to find Dot and end Roy’s reign of terror.

While the events of Noah Hawley’s FX series “Fargo” don’t expand on those in the 1996 film from Joel and Ethan Coen, there is one bit of dialogue from the movie that Hawley considers a thematic throughline for each season in the anthology. “There’s always something every year that’s rooted in Marge’s line from the movie, ‘And here you are, and for what, a little bit of money?’ — the crimes that people commit for money, either desperation or greed,” he said.

Caroline Brew editor “Fargo” showrunner Noah Hawley teased his new FX series “Alien” in a recent interview with KCRW’s The Business. Though plot details are being kept under wraps, Hawley’s “Alien” series is set on Earth and roughly 70 years in future, predating the original film series.

Morrissey has claimed that he has been “deleted” from the “essence” and history of The Smiths in a new post.Taking to his official website Morrissey Central yesterday (January 11), the singer-songwriter defended his role in his former band amid numerous reports that – according to him – have downplayed his contributions.“There is also an obvious media shift to delete me from being the central essence of The Smiths,” he began, “but this cannot work because I invented the group name, the song-titles, the album titles, the artwork, the vocal melodies, and all of the lyrical sentiments came from my heart.“And so it’s a bit like saying Mick Jagger had nothing to do with the Stones.”Morrissey continued: “Several news sites now claim that the initial meeting at Rough Trade Records was with ‘Johnny Marr and Andy Rourke,’ even though Andy wasn’t even a committed band member at that point. The meeting, of course, was Morrissey and Marr.“Even Geoff Travis [Rough Trade founder] has now suddenly decided that he ‘can’t remember who was with Johnny,’ even though Geoff looked me squarely in the eye on that very day and said ‘we’d like to release [The Smiths’ 1983 debut single] ‘Hand In Glove’ immediately,’ and he then more importantly said to me that his name was Geoff with a G, not Jeff with a J.
