AFAIK, Markham's money is legitimate, in that it came from his legal marijuana trade in Colorado.

Boyd killed Carl after Carl came to kill him. Anyone who would hold a cocked gun to Boyd's head would do so again.

One of the things Hollywood gets most wrong is how long it takes people to die, even if they have been mortally wounded. Of course it depends on how convenient it is to have a character go down and out after one shot, and the hero can shrug off almost anything, it seems.

It seemed genuine to me: I had the sense that Michael/Mikey's disillusionment stemmed more from a personal relationship than his code of honor. He said as much, at one point.

I agree. I think the writers will avoid such a trite (if satisfying) resolution, and rather than that go for an ironic death like that of Choo-choo.

Much as I would like to see that, Boon is awfully careful—-and already Markham has shown he knows all about Mags' "apple pie," so presumably he would have passed a warning to Boon about it.

Did Michael/Mikey ever kill anyone in the series?

In my mind, Raylan=Bad, Boyd=Good, Avery=Ugly

I know it's stupid, but the doctor didn't say Boyd's clavicle had been broken. Given that Ava used his "nine" that's hard to believe, but that's how it was written.

And there's still so much left to hit the fan!

Sorry, I could not resist!

Depends on where they hit you. And if there's one thing Hollywood gets wrong about shootings, it's that people don't die as quickly in real life: even mortally wounded, it takes quite a long time to die. See Hitchcock's "Torn Curtain" for an attempt to get it right.

No, Carl was willing to shoot Boyd to save his brother.

As in Moulin Rouge Raylan—-does he have a secret in his underwear drawer?

Boyd shot Carl after Carl showed his willingness to shoot Boyd—-I don't have a problem with that.

Contradicting the reviewer, Michael/Mikey is most definitely dead. Hale's last shot went through his heart, or at least the aorta—-no doubt of that, from the rate at which he was losing blood. Boyd's wound was to the shoulder, well above his heart, so even without the luck of which his doctor spoke he would've

Well, Jimmy isn't in league with drug dealers and cartels—-Saul was.

Oh, I think we do: time and time again Jimmy has leaned toward the good, even if starting with corrupt intent.

I think there might be complications stemming from Chuck's use of HHM resources.

He cleans up using the cucumber water.
