I am watching this mediocre episode when the Stephanie, the child of the couple central in the episode is interviewed decades later as an adult. She's approximately 1.5 years old and given a rocking horse by her father who had previously lost control of Stephanie's mother by the despicable act of tossing her mother outside their home completely naked in the night leaving her to recover herself at the neighbor's house. Stephanie recollects that her father and mother were a lot happier (after that incident which caused them to separate.) She states that the goal of her parents was to make her happy. She was not aware of these dynamics at 1.5 years old.
The Minnesota thing is priceless. I lived in Minnesota for almost one year. The not-so-subtle Minnesota accents are a bit over the top but not by much. I suspect that the directors took it up half a notch just to underline the hilarity of "Minnesota Nice." It really is a bona fide phenomenon that - surprise, surprise! - you can only find in the state of Minnesota. Each character - major or minor - is well-plaid. Her pregnancy, the relationship she has with her husband is just so....well.... Nice! It makes a great foil against these two criminals and the hapless husband of the kidnapped wife. Macy is sooo good at his part as well.
Having trouble already with this documentary. States how essential that dogs are for humans and humans are for dogs to live here. But, then, you are shown the failure of a dog to keep it's pups alive while chained outside in minus twenty-seven degree celsius weather. Do you think that the idiots who were responsible for this dog could have - should have - brought her into some type of protection like a barn - at least? Perhaps, they would have been blessed with puppies to raise and more dogs to help them and the mother would not be sitting out on ice at minus twenty-seven degrees licking her FROZEN DEAD puppies and WHIMPERING her heart out. I hate A'HOLES like this.
