Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title "The Rooster Prince" refers to the parable of the same name. A prince is put under a curse where he believes himself to be a rooster, and sits under the table naked pecking at the floor. The king and queen ask around for someone to help cure their son, when an old man volunteers, saying he knows how to cure him. He too takes his clothes off and sits under the table with the prince, pretending to be a rooster. Eventually the prince befriends his "rooster friend" and the old man shows him how a rooster can do human things such as sit at a table and wear clothes. Eventually, the old man is able to bring back his old human habits one bit at a time, curing him.
- GoofsMr. Wrench asks Bruce Gold why there's no library in town, but in the pilot Lester's prospective customer states that he works at the library. However, the young man did not say at which library he worked so it's possible he worked at the county library in a nearby town. Additionally, in the season finale, he is to have a new job at an auto dealership, so it's possible he was laid off before the events of this episode. (In actuality, Bemidji does have a public library.)
- Quotes
Postal Worker: This is highly irregular.
Lorne Malvo: No.
Lorne Malvo: Highly irregular is the time I found a human foot in a toaster oven. This is just odd.

Written by Johannes Brahms
As before, the appeal of this series lies in a colorful bunch of characters, some of whom are VERY determined to do their job. It seems that Molly will have to grin and bear her situation, since the dense Bill (Bob Odenkirk), who's been made the new police chief, has reverse tunnel vision when it comes to Lester. Unfortunately, he's so convinced that Lester is too wimpy to hurt even a fly that he encourages Molly to think of the perpetrator(s) as possibly being one or more drifters.
This cast is just fantastic to watch. Billy Bob Thornton is still a case study in carefully restrained evil. His big moment in this episode shows him taking a dump in front of a goon named Semenko (Barry Flatman) just to show the goon how NOT intimidated he is by the guy. And the new characters are fun, with Goldberg, Harvard, and Platt adding a lot to the mix.
It will be interesting to wait and see how long it takes for the truth to come out, so writer / series creator Noah Hawley did his job in reeling in the viewers.
Eight out of 10.
