Tuesday FX will air the penultimate episode of its popular series Fargo. In preparation, executive producer and writer of the series, Noah Hawley, talked to the digitial media last Friday about the series.

Hawley knew very early on when writing the series that there would be ten episodes. He told SciFi Vision, "I was commissioned to write a pilot, which I wrote a script, and then, right away the conversation became about a straight series order, which I think had a lot to do with just good timing and the fact that the network was expanding, knew that they were going to expand it to two or three channels, and they wanted to launch into this limited series business. What was really exciting from the story standpoint, for me having written shows that have been cancelled relatively quickly, or where you never really get out of the gate story wise, is the idea that no matter what we did, FX was going to air all ten of them, and so you write knowing that you're going to be judged based on the totality of the story as opposed to people who get only a couple of episodes in.

Baldwin talked to SciFi Vision about what it was that attracted him to the role on the series. "It was a TNT production with Michael Bay at the helm. How could I say no? The opportunity to work aboard a Navy-guided missile destroyer is a chance of a lifetime. We've had the opportunity to go over the horizon on an embarkation to see that ship - Arleigh Burke-class of destroyers in action is something I'll never forget. It's life altering.

"And the character himself, the difference between him and the captain, played by Eric Dane, is one of - there's a fine line there and we had to thread this needle of - you don't want to be insubordinate and yet you need to be supportive and challenging of decision-making processes in a supporting role and I'm very good at that."

Mitra recently talked to the media about the new series.

The actress talked to SciFi Vision about what it was that made her take on the role of Rachel Scott. "I think the subject matter's incredibly poignant. And I think that it's something that needs to be discussed right now. And I very much wanted to work with Michael Bay and work with my old friend Eric Dane again."

Mitra told the site that she did quite a bit of research to prepare for the role. "I did a tremendous amount of research. In fact, I already know a lot about paleomicrobiology and virology, because I'm somewhat of a geek. And this world and the subject matter are already of great interest to me, so it came at the perfect time."

Wheaton talked to SciFi Vision about some of the challenges involved in making the show. "The show launches today, and last week and the week before a bunch of the shows that we cover had their finales, so we couldn't talk about, like for example, there's no Game of Thrones this week, and Game of Thrones is a load-bearing pillar in our world.

"But we all knew that was going to happen, and if everything goes according to plan, we're going to be on television for a really long time, and we'll be on a time where there really isn't a whole lot of new stuff, and we just kind of have to roll with it."

On the FX ten episode limited series adaptation, Fargo, Allison Tolman plays Molly Solverson, the smart Bemidji police deputy who seems to be the only one in her small town with a clue of what's really going on with a recent string of murders.

Tolman recently talked to the media about her work on Fargo.

The actress talked to SciFi Vision about how she got her big break playing Molly. "My background is in theater and a little bit of sketch, and I was in Chicago when I booked the role, just kind of working at my day job and doing auditions here and there, but not really booking anything. And I put myself on tape for Fargo, and then sort of walked out of the room and forgot about it and went about my daily life. And then a few weeks later they called me and asked me to come in and test in New York, and then five days after that they called and told me that I had the role. So, it's kind of a quick unfolding and a really fast way for your life to change that much overnight."
