My life is currently structured around Wednesday night at 10. It's a sad story.
Usually around... Friday there is a moment where I'm like 'it is Justified time now?' and then realize I have almost an entire week to wait. It's tragic.
was also pleased to see Kevin Rankin back as Devil. First of all, it's good to see Boyd with a henchman who maybe has a brain.
Agreed. I can't wait to see them pulling some heists and stuff. That's going to be fun.
Television rarely does tough who've had to grow up too fast well. Loretta is smart, cool, rough, and realistic in her responses. I loved her last week and this week as well.
Agreed. I adored Raylan's conversation with her (and describing the light inside her made me go 'awwww') and I think her anger at her father and her continuing grief about her mother is really realistic. The show did a good job of showing that deep down she knew that the Bennets had killed her father but that she wasn't able to consciously put all the pieces together until she saw the watch.
I do wonder, though, whether Mags is driving Dickie's back to the wall in an attempt to give herself plausible deniability.
I can easily see Mags doing that. Besides getting revenge on Raylan (which I am positive she wants) it would also solidify her relationship with the sherrif-son, who's clearly her most valuable family member (in the sense that he has power to help her that neither Dicker nor Coover really did/do).
re: Art
I remember reading something from the producer about Art and how they wanted to find a way to remove Art from Raylan's life to see what would happen when he didn't have this positive father figure anymore*.
What I liked best about their confrontation this episode was Art treating Raylan like an adult: he knew what Raylan WANTED to have happen and refused to play that script (and I think if Raylan had been straight with Art and told him it would have gone down differently). Raylan lost Art not because of his actions so much as how he handled the aftermath: he wasn't courageous enough to be honest with Art and he needed Art's approval and trust too much to keep lying... and he ended up losing that anyway. I'll be honest, that was a hard scene to watch.
(*I have issues with the unrelenting throwing of rocks at a protagonist as a storytelling strategy, but that's a tangent)
