#Oz season 4 episode nine full

Rabbi and Satchel find themselves in black and white, too, as well as in Liberal, and as guests at a rooming house called Barton Arms, a former home of a murderous family now split literally in two by warring sisters and stocked full of eccentric guests. While we see вЂ“ in tasteful monochrome вЂ“ Omie arrive with his Fadda captive, Aldo, and settle in to wait for Constant, most of вЂњEast/WestвЂќ is devoted to Rabbi and Satchel, whoвЂ™re on the run from the worsening Kansas City gang war. Framed by OmieвЂ™s hunt for Constant Calamita, he trips and falls into a storybook setting right outside the town of Liberal, Kansas, where a Bertrand Russell epigraph and some torn pages from The History of True Crime in the Wild West tell us to expect to witness the fate of one doomed Willy Bupor in the lonely filling station where he works as an attendant.

ItвЂ™s also kind of great, both in terms of what happens and how much fun unpacking the rest of it is. Except you canвЂ™t really classify it as a bottle episode since itвЂ™s jam-packed with eccentric new characters, several familiar ones, actually seems quite expensive, and advances the seasonвЂ™s overarching plot with the death of a few pretty important characters and the abandonment of another. It has all kinds of perplexing structural and artistic flourishes, leaves Kansas City for especially Coen-y parts unknown, delves into the meta connective tissue of the showвЂ™s only loosely-connected storytelling, clips back the typically thorny monologues, and works, on some level, as a metaphorical standalone homage to The Wizard of Oz. вЂњEast/WestвЂќ is a deliberately weird episode of television, even by Fargo standards.
