Pretty impressive that Noah Hawley could successfully pull off a version of the chestburster scene... and I have thoughts on how he was able to navigate the complexities of making the familiar feel genuinely shocking!

The final scene w/Partagaz has a lot going on with it

They mirror a trick from S01E12 where Nemik's VO goes diegetic to non-diegetic which gets reversed in S02E12

But there is even more to this scene & my blog post gets into it
