Cutting a piece of cake for Coach.

I can't say enough good things about the way this show captures the place and the people of Dillon.

I'd bet a dollar it was.

Stunt double?

Oh yeah, that sprint up the stairs to tell Norman he was innocent:
NORMAAAAAAN!!!

Yikes.

Cody may have been a one-note character, but Paloma Kwiatkowski played that note to perfection. So long, Cody. Sorry about your one-note dead asshole dad.

Looks like Dyejob just self-destructed. I hope Remo made it out alive. Also, how many conks can Dylan's noggin withstand before he is no longer the sane one in the family?

There WAS something creepy about that office. Norma avoided going in. Bad vibe from previous occupant? Also, that lady who showed her around was somewhere beyond cynical. Needs to retire.

I thought it was a car accident, but now that you mention it, I don't think they said. Guess we'll find out more when Ryan starts talking. If it's serious enough to require hours of surgery, he'll most likely get a discharge.

Just sayin' that in the past, Peet has come off as anti-family, anti-personal life, anti-anything that isn't working for me.

Also, Shepard was good, wasn't he?

Yes, I've seen it and liked it. For all the buzz McConaughey got for losing a dangerous amount of weight and playing a man battling AIDS, I felt his character in Mud was many times more complex and wounded and wonderful. Probably my favorite role of McConaughey's so far. That little wave near the end just killed me.

It was Crosby's family-time phone video that turned Joel homeward.

I can't seem to apply any critical standard to these two. She was confused. She was having a romance with her own image of herself as a free-flowing kind of gal. She gave him a lot of mixed messages. She was confused. She thought she'd lost him. She thought if she slept with his roommate he'd be jealous and want her…

Todd, Todd, Todd.

It seemed entirely out of character for Peet to acknowledge Joel as a family man and encourage him to get his tools and go help his brother-in-law. Who IS this woman??

Wow. That's awful.

It's not over til it's over. The dog may let the fox slip away one more time. Boyd's not going to prison, I think we all know that. And if he dies, it'll be in Raylan's arms. The two men's fates are inextricably linked.

"So was the kid." Indeed. Jacob Lofland's dry, downstruck demeanor reminded me of Edward Furlong at that age. Tough kid, Kendall—wouldn't rat out his uncle even to the tune of 40 years. That was a good scene between Lofland and Olyphant.
