The mysterious little old lady who somehow persuaded Jed to take a life-sentence fall for Dickie in Reckoning was a DXM classic.

Well freakin' said!

My dream for next season would have been 1) more Art 2) more Tim and 3) for Raylan to somehow re-enter the Badass Zone. (You know, from whence you shoot people and stuff.)

But Art…must have Art!!!

You got that right, Mrs G.

Bad Boyd?
I just cannot help but feel that Boyd's sudden reincarnation as Bo Crowder is being underwritten. He's idealizing a man who killed and strung up his followers, a man that he himself wanted to kill. Wasn't Boyd a guy who was happy to be wearing a JC Penneys suit not long ago? And now he's the Bugsy Siegel of…

Yeah, he definitely was Secret Service - he made a point of telling her that Reagan had not been shot on his watch.

I think RG's sainted mother was named Frances.

Yeah, but Art lost the Tombstone poster this season. He's pledging allegiance to some giant Marshal symbol now. Maybe symptomatic of his growing contempt for Raylan's OK-corral-style lawlessness…?

Marski - true dat.

Unfortunately, the way she's written, WH represents a few too many horrible female-character cliches. She's always been a Damsel in Distress and a Worried Wife, but then, with this espisode, she came to embody the worst of all such characters - The Ditz. Her constant chatty harping on how "crazy" it was to take that…

I too definitely savored the non-presence of the *other" Missy Thing -the one back in Lexington.

Oh, I definitely think that the master of the triple cross has got something up his sleeve. And it may also be crucial to the next twist in the plot line that Carol only verbally assented to Mags's counter-offer. She wouldn't shake on it and nothing's been signed.

I always think back to the first episode when, in the abandoned church scene, Boyd asks Raylan if at any point in his showdown with the Miami gun thug, he saw his daddy's face.

The reveal about Dickie's limp reminded me of how in The Moonshine War Mags introduced Raylan (to Loretta?) as having been a "big baseball-player in high school." Wow - a pretty subtle/bold way of reminding him that she wasn't forgiving or forgetting…

And the L Ronstadt reference was, as Raylan would say, "a little bit funny."

My favorite came from Raylan.: "Art, she played the shit out of us."
