Yeah, I came up with the comparison almost entirely based on how easy it was to picture Jimmy yelling to Chuck "I'm smart and I want respect!"

She told Raylan the names before Raylan told her Vasquez was pulling the plug.

I can't help but wonder if this all could have been avoided if Wynn told Mikey something like "Look, when it comes down to it, 'Our people' is you and me. Those other crooks would throw us aside just as easily if they had the kind of heat coming down on them we do. Stick together and we'll get through this."

I was thinking "The policemen show up and arrest our heroes for something that happened in the first five minutes that we've long forgotten about."

Well, kinda, but not to split hairs here— major point is that "single malt" means the whiskey is distilled from 100% barley, whereas bourbon must be at least 51% corn.

I like Super Troopers. The cast had a lot of fun making it and it shows. They don't skimp on the details and the little exchanges.

How should I know?

I'm waiting for the Monty Python and the Holy Grail ending: Just as Raylan is about to catch Ava, he's pulled off the case and drummed out of the force to avoid an international incident with Mexico, because he kidnapped that Mexican LEO at the beginning of the season.

Sadly, I think it's all too likely Ava ends up a dead honky before it's all over.

So did I. I liked how it gave her a little specificity, though, maybe even foreshadowed her toughness— if she hasn't been pressured (or inconvenienced) into drinking the local product instead of Scotch, she sure wasn't going to be talked into selling out her kinfolk.

Wow. That was a legitimate and well-earned twist: Completely surprising, but also completely logical from a plot and character standpoint. After thinking about it, it's her only play to stay alive and free.

I heard Avery say "single malt" when he left Loretta's great aunt, which is unusual for this show. Glad you caught what it was.

He said it was single-malt after they left the house, so actually some kind of Scotch most likely, not bourbon. But I wasn't looking at the bottle to see what kind it was. (I thought it unusual, too, considering everyone on this show drinks bourbon.)

Well, I didn't binge them.

I wonder how many people know it primarily (or even exclusively) from "Word Association."

Same with Dewey Crowe's necklace. I'd kept it in the back of my mind, a Sword of Damocles that had to factor into Boyd's fate at some point. On the other hand, I rather liked that it wasn't any kind of damning payoff— Raylan is right; by itself it's not enough.

I wish they'd left in the deleted scene where Jim gives Dwight a "Dwight" card.

I was one of those people! (I mean, not you specifically, but I saw the pilot and it was almost two more years before I gave it another chance.)

"Top Banana" was definitely the work of a flamer.
