just wanted to share this scene that was cut from the last chapter where, even after this blond dumbass just admitted to eating monsters and using black magic, kabru was still prepared to side with him against shuro if a fight broke out

one of my favorite details in Netflix' Wednesday is the use of tortured wordplay with 'woe' for the episode titles, linguistically it fits with the eccentric and gruesome vibes of the show. obsessed with 'woe what a night' & 'quid pro woe' personally

Episode 9 of Fargo is titled "The Useless Hand". Perhaps it is a deliberate method of foreshadowing part of the final episode...
Ole Munch's speech describes Gator as the "Useless Hand". He is returned "without function". This is how Roy has ALWAYS viewed Gator. This is how Gator, as a result, has viewed himself.
But perhaps this will foreshadow the opposite. Perhaps the useless hand will become useful. Even though he cannot see, Gator still can speak. It is words and truths that can be most useful in the upcoming episode.
Perhaps Gator will find his purpose by revealing the truths of what his father has done.
In the Oedipus play, there are a couple of quotes that strike me as similar to Gator's situation:
You, with your precious eyes, you’re blind to the corruption of your life, to the house you live in, those you live with.
Gator is "blind" to his father's ways. He refuses to see Roy for the horrible person he is.
However, another line is also striking. Here, Oedipus speaks to a blind prophet:
Blind as you are, you can feel all the more what sickness haunts our city. You, my lord, are the one shield, the one savior we can find.
The sickness is Roy and his corruption. However, Gator is now the one who is literally blind. He may finally be able to see the truths of Roy's ways and perhaps even act upon them. Be a "savior" of sorts that help bring down his father.
Gator, though dubbed a useless hand, may finally serve a purpose, as he is awakened to the reality of his life through his blindness.

rhaenyra saying he called me a boy with pure joy in her voice. if i were a man i would bed whomever i wanted. in the brothel she looks with wonder at men with women and men with men and women with women. it’s the same as the orgy tapestries in the red keep!!! you targaryens have queer customs… they are supposed to be gods, above men and law. yet viserys has lost touch with what it means to be valyrian. embraced stifling westerosi ideas about purity and chastity. the contrast of him and alicent vs. rhaenyra and criston cole. sex as a prison vs. sex as freedom. dragon gender dragon sexuality!

also every single parental figure we know of the main Pack Of Pixies SUCK, and I'm torn so deeply between actual character analysis about Squak and Chirp's mannerisms interacting with their grandfather vs All The Rest Of The Time vs just LAUGHING WILDLY over the drug mask and love potion and the "would you like to see us. stand near them?"
