Someone else has probably mentioned this already, but why is it every missing person or homicide victim has a professional headshot just sitting around waiting to go up on a whiteboard somewhere? It's never a crappy DMV shot or an out-of-focus family photo. The pictures are always perfectly lit with a professional

Or, even worse, talking into a wristwatch or wire while undercover and trying to blend in.

I think there's some contractual obligation that requires the phrase "So, if there's nothing else, I have to get back to work" to appear in every Law and Order episode.

Dopey dad all by itself is another one on my shit list. Especially when there are multiple kids. I'll buy that in some families moms handle more of the day-to-day kid responsibilities, but it drives me crazy when dad is left home with the kids and can't manage to change a diaper or make a grilled cheese sandwich

Fake bedhead drives me nuts. I don't know about you, but in the morning my hair looks like a tree in a Tim Burton movie. But on TV, especially in sitcoms, people wake up with either slightly mussed hair or teased out hair that would have made Brett Michaels proud back in the day.

Speaking of cop shows, what about the tough female detective with a heart of gold who wears 4-inch heels to work and can still chase down suspects like she's Usain Bolt?

A very valid reason, but one that I think would completely elude Dewey.

I'd watch that in a heartbeat. Seriously, why isn't Eric Roberts on TV?

And now I've got that mental picture in my head. Thanks.

Good news. Here's hoping they find a way to bring him back at some point.

My thoughts exactly. It's like how getting a deal from the salesman feels more special than using a coupon.

That's the thing that gets me the most I think. I've always seen Art as kind of a father figure to Raylan, even though their ages make that all but impossible. Given how Raylan turned out after growing up with Arlo, imagine what he could have done if he had a dad who actually gave a shit about him. Art's

Marshal Stiffy would be too easy.
How about Refrain from Screwing the Witness?

And that's a big part of the fun. Like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.

Glad I wasn't the only one who caught that. For a second I was worried I was having an AHS flashback.

He called me an onanist. Bet you don't even know what that is smartass.

When Jay showed up at Audrey's and we got that aerial shot over the yard, could anyone tell if Dewey's pool had been patched and refilled? All I could tell for sure is that is was still standing and a little misshapen.

Not to mention good, old fashioned dumb luck.

Someone down thread said Art treated Raylan like a kid and I think that idea carries over to your point as well. Art's guilt in this whole mess isn't all that different from the blame that gets cast on the parents of killers. It's all some variation of "well you raised it, so you must have done or not done something."

That bar looked pretty empty. I'm guessing she figured she might as well give it a shot.
