Debts & Accounts

[redbrunja]

I had a very successful if exhausting shopping trip ...technically yesterday. It involved a lot of driving and very little sleep but I got an awesome new phone and the Apple store managed to fix my computer in under a day AND compted the repair because I had a long wait while at the store to pick it up.

And then I came home to a new episode of Justified!

–I am giddy over the way Boyd/Ava played out. I love how straight Ava is with Boyd. She calls him on his actions and comes across as really adult. 

"You give me a reason to wake up in the morning. For that I'll be eternally grateful."
"Get out."

And then in the end of the episode she calls him Mr Crowder! That just delighted me. And I'll be frank, I expected Boyd to take the lead in this romance more than he did; in the end of the episode he's being very verbally emotionally honest but it's clearly Ava who lays one on him first. And then hugging at the end? To me, that so clearly showed how much they care about each other. (And if/when they have a sex scene, I am going to be VERY curious about how it's filmed. Watching the first season the show clearly showed the difference between Raylan's emotional investment in Ava versus Winona simply by how they filmed the love scenes, and I'm very curious about how they'd handle a Boyd/Ava sex scene. So show, get right on that, plz.) And also, I would ADORE the instrumental music that was playing as they kissed.
A hell of a lot of other stuff happened this episode but I'm tired and it's late so I'm just going to mention how much I loved the Mags and Helen scene. It reminded me of Winter's Bone in the level and respect it showed for the social power women in this society wield and the way in which they use it.

That hug was so emotionally charged and I loved the look on Boyd's face when he pressed his face against hers. Beautiful.

YES TO THIS A THOUSAND TIMES.

I'm not too surprised. I think, as norgbeluah pointed out, Boyd has probably never been in love or in a 'real' adult relationship before that was based on anything more than sex. I think the physical side to things comes easy to him but the deeper emotional stuff is foreign to him so he's letting Ava lead the way. I'd imagine though, as their relationship progresses and they settle into one another, we're going to see a more dominate side to Boyd emerge.

I'd guess we'd see the aftermath, them laying in bed together post-sex. But um, I'd love to see them film the start to, I'm interested how Boyd would act.

And also, I would ADORE the instrumental music that was playing as they kissed.

YES! I want to find that music!

Also, after some googling....the song at the end is from a group called Computer Vs. Banjo and the song title is "Don’t Look Back" (which is quite appropriate!). I couldn't find it on itunes or youtube though :(

I look forward to that! And whether or not we see a sex scene or a post-sex scene will, I think, depend on if they went right up to bed at the end of this episode or if the writers are holding back the complete comsumatation for later in the season.

That is sad! At least we know what it's called, now, so hopefully we can find it later, maybe?

It could go either way. I almost want to think he just came in and stayed the night but nothing happened (yet), mostly because HOW ROMANTIC would that be? I can see Boyd wanting to just sleep beside her in the most innocent of ways, just to be close and touch her. I almost feel like while Ava probably wants him in the physical sense he's probably afraid sex would make things more complicated.

ALSO, I really want to see a Raylan/Ava/Boyd scene where he figures out Boyd has gone rouge and Ava and him have started to carry on a relationship. You know it's going to be Ava laying Rayland OUT while Boyd watches on in silence, totally amused.

That TOTALLY sounds like something Boyd would do and is super-romantic. *sigh*

Actually, in my head that could go either way - either Ava being like, 'once again, you don't get a say in how I live my life' OR it could be Raylan really getting under Ava's skin and making her feel terrible.
