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.

Especially when they made such a big deal out of the definition of felony murder when they brought Ava and Boyd in the first time over the mine explosion.


Ooooh, good catch. Now I'm imaging Ava getting arrested and charged... and refusing to rat out Boyd to lessen her sentence... followed by a Crowder-orchestrated jailbreak. Following which Ava and Boyd head South to a new life in Costa Rica.
