Yeah, it's a very Elmore Leonard situation. Lindsay wants to make things work with Randall, but once it turns out that he's a f-up, she cuts him loose.

Dawn is one of my favorite Leonard characters. I'm glad to see the writers borrowing from Leonard agin, but making her 50 takes away some of the fun.

Are there cutesy portmanteau names for Bo/Lauren and Bo/Dyson? And if not, why not?

1.  Man, that last 5 minutes was great TV.   It was like watching Han Solo get frozen in carbonite.
 
2.  That said, this is a pretty good reminder that this is a game show, with a substantial random factor.   All of my first choices for final three (CJ, Tesar, Kristen) are now out.   That makes LCK/Fan Favorite the

It was a nice touch to follow up Raylan's liquor delivery with Ava turning down the bad booze. I wonder how much junk Raylan signed for.

I only know Jeselnik from random snippets on Pandora, but what always struck me is that he writes and tells jokes.   Not observations, not funny or revealing stories — jokes.  Setup/punchline, setup/punchline, setup/punchline, repeat until done.

Scientist 1: Hey Other Scientists! It turns out that instead of intelligent humans who don't feal jealousy, we could be creepy kids who don't talk or age, have wierd empathic powers, and are allegedly pretty intelligent, even though at thirty plus years old they pretty much just stare at people!

Oooh, they could have done "divide and pick" - draw knives: red knife gets to divide the chefs into two groups, then black knife gets to pick which group he/she wants.
 
My guess is that Kristen came in "first" off camera, Sheldon second.

The problem with LCK is that all it takes to lose is one bad night.

Not really spoilers:  When I read the title for "Starship Down", I assumed we were talking about "The Ship" and got very excited.   Stupid barely distinguishable titles let me down!

1) If Boyd ends up killing Constable Bob, it will all have been worth it.   (Or if Bob is a deep cover agent for Boyd, and is employing Obfuscating Stupidity).
 
2) If Constable Bob heroically but comically saves Raylan from the new heavy, that will be the Worst Show Ever.
 
3) The reveal of Ellen May in the revival tent

IMHO, by the time you get six or seven people on the list, Goyte should have been one of them.   (I agree that he's not exactly new, but I'd say he's more Thomas Dolby than Sting or Gabriel).

The author is obviously on one side of the issue (I imagine most informed editorialists are one one side or the other of the issues they write about), but the facts seem easily checkable.   I'm too lazy, so I'll book them into "not proven true or false" until I get time to fire up Google.

I thought Emeril "Bam Bam" Legasse was good, although I'm sure it's taken.

Tony Todd always seems too good to be solely a genre actor.   Is he:
 
a) A giant star on Broadway or something I don't know about?
 
b) Not as good as I think?  (Or an insufferable diva or whatever); or
