And Raylan doesn't stop Harlan residents from growing or selling pot, and he doesn't do much about the oxy trade either. So where is the difference—-never mind the libertarian view that all drugs should be legal, it's a matter of personal choice. No argument based solely on the drug trade is going to sway me.

No preacher is innocent.

Oh, but he did—-just not as overtly as Boyd.

I wonder if white cops say that after shooting a black man in our society.

Lumping all those together shows you have not appreciated the finer points of this show's criminal elements.

I certainly didn't compare Raylan to a "Neo Nazi" [sic], unless you think comparing Raylan to Boyd amounts to that (Boyd gave up being a neo-Nazi long ago).

You remind me of my favorite comment by our reviewer, relating Raylan's character to quantum mechanics: when Raylan is not observed, he does not feel obligated to follow the law (hence my disdain for him). Only when other marshalls are around does he follow procedure, more or less.

As much as Markham's cash is a trap for Boyd, so is Boyd for Raylan (in his determination to escape Harlan).

Raylan is a "bad person" with a badge—-really no different from Boyd. Ava's noting that Raylan could as easily have become a criminal was entirely superfluous, in light of all the previous episodes when this has indeed been obvious.

Coincidences do happen. Raylan had thought the dynamite was for a frontal assault on the pizzeria safe, but thanks to the reward learned Boyd was tunneling up into it.

Ava went off Boyd's script in her one-on-one with Raylan—-WTF?!

Yes, that was a brilliant (and I hope telling) bit of literary allusion.

I would prefer someone stick a knife deep into Raylan's gut, slide it around a bit, then twist for good measure.

"The past is a statement"—-yet Raylan seems to think he can erase it.

I wondered about that; I've only arrived in Albuquerque via AMTRAK, when traveling by rail.

A color-by-numbers backstory episode. And yes, I have seen (and loved) all of "Breaking Bad."

Daryl and Aaron seemed awfully slow to react—-where did those walkers come from, why didn't they start shooting them at once, and maybe save the horse?

Subsonic rifle ammo is specialty, not common, and would pretty much defeat the whole point of a high-powered rifle.

They are not a problem if the suppressor is properly aligned.

Yes, and this was nicely punctuated at the very end with Rick showing he is more attuned to the world outside the wall than the fantasy land within.
