"I know my lines…I just don't know them in order"

Me too! I assumed it would be like the ice dancing, but with a team. Less focus on jumps, more on footwork, choreography and making figures in the ice, like they used to do. That would be cool. But its just the same people doing their program twice so they can give out team medals like they do for gymnastics? That's

More of a Winona person?

Uh….it opens at the Calgary games in '88?

What's striking me about this episode is that everyone Pete talks to about the Chip 'n Dip seems to be unaware of dip, as a concept. When did we invent dip?

So….Ava's dead soon, right?

"I've been called a lot of things, but inarticulate ain't one of them"

There was a Cooter on Justified, right? Actually never mind, that was True Blood…so much casting overlap I get confused.

You aren't wrong.

Aren't the big sweeping cinematic ads with really grandiose narration about the beautiful perfectness of life, America and being unexpected almost always going to be about a car?

"I thought he was so nice!" And what the hell were you basing that thought on Ivy, since he's basically a snarkier, lazier, less competent version of Thomas?

I assumed (and am hoping I'm wrong) that was just a not so subtle nod to the fact that they will eventually hook him and Mary up.

We're gonna be listening to that guy's voice all season long, aren't we…yay.

Why has anyone ever been even a little okay with that jump-rope rhyme?! I do appreciate the way it was used in this though, having children chanting it outside her house as though they were sent there by the community to taunt her…forever. And maybe it was just because I went in with really low expectations I was

Danny Strong will make it around to every show I love, I see.

Then again, my theory does assume that Raylan is more self aware than we've seen.

I think he cares a little more about Nixon vs Kennedy, I'm inclined to take him at his word when he says "I look at Nixon, I see myself," meaning the self made man, even as we look at Don and see someone closer to Kennedy, or at least the image of Kennedy.

Eh, it's not so weird. It's like the people who expect you to feel kinda guilty if you take a nap.

I don't think Raylan's motivation for taking Kendall away can be completely summed up with "dick move." Not to make it completely personal, since he was also doing his job, but Raylan has to have looked at that kid and wondered who he'd be if someone had removed him from Arlo's care.

Riiight, I certainly couldn't fetishize a ripped, scarred, shirtless Aaron Eckhart.
