I'd hate to see him during that Iphone 5 table tennis commercial.  Awesome dreams indeed.

In reply to your comment below, which apparently I can't reply directly to; it's almost like we dug coal together.

I see what you did there.

So what did Billy need a break from when Ellie May came calling?  My money's on something with snakes.  Also, I think either Johnny or Wynn Duffy has something to do with this preacher and that mystery drug that Ellie May was on last week.  Maybe they're all in cahoots together.

That whole second-to-last paragraph?  I think you mean Raylan when you say Boyd.
Wynn looked weird without his mustache.  And what's with him and Boyd?  Shouldn't Boyd know Wynn tried to blow him up along with Quarles last season?
Can't wait to see what Lindsay's husband has in store for Raylan.  
And the 'dueling

The line that Hiram says to him, "Truth always sounds like lies to a sinner," was such a perfect callback to preacher Boyd in Season 1 too.  Had me saying "Oh no you didn't" to the TV.

Yeah, Ava had a real bitchy vibe to her this episode.  Her transformation from Season 1 to now has been, for me, one of the coolest parts of watching this show develop.

I love Justified more than any other show, but I'm not feeling the flashbacks.  They didn't need them in the first three seasons, they got that shit done just through the dialogue (save the one of Boyd and Raylan in the mine in the first episode).  
That being said, Colton Rhodes looks like he's gonna be awesome, and

Please, let Ruxin's dad be in Justified.  In his last scene he has to make the vinegar strokes face though, preferably dying balls deep in Sarah Silverman.

So what have we going into Season 4?  Ava maybe developing into a villain?  Johnny, definitely.  Theo Tonin since we haven't seen the ear yet?  Chekhov's ear must be revealed at some point.

haha, out on a limb.

- Boyd needs to teach a class about how to hold onto a prisoner.
- So where's Arlo?  Also I was shocked to see Helen; we've never seen anything like that on Justified before.
- I love Dickie and cheered when he showed some 'craft and guile' in taking out Johnny and taking Errol hostage.  I hope he's not dead.
- Also, who

Do we know if it was him who shot Tom, though?  We only heard the shot off-screen, and we heard Johnny shouting to Raylan that it was Quarles who shot Tom, but of course that's what he'd say if Boyd shot him.

I pray to God he isn't.

I thought that exact same thing.  We still don't know where Arlo has gone, do we?

I was thinking the same thing.  I see no reason for either Errol or Boyd to keep Dickie alive and still get his money, which means either I'm missing something or something we don't know about is going to spring up soon.  I'm thinking Quarles isn't the only one with tricks up his sleeve, that Limehouse will start

To answer your question about Duffy and Mike, when Duffy's on the phone with Quarles just before Boyd tases him he tells him they spent the last two hours with the Marshalls.  So I assume they were arrested along with the Detroit hitman.
Also, I'm thinking Johnny doesn't make it through the end of this season.  Too

That's a good point, but it can also be said that Dickie's specialty isn't in being a criminal mastermind but in finding some way to survive against all odds.  What a kick in the head if the season ends with him alive and with all of Mags' money, then (gasp) he could reasonably be Season 4's big bad.  
That'll probably

One more thing: Duffy and Mike sitting passively on Quarles' bed watching Donovan escape from the Detroit guy like they've seen it all before was the greatest.  Then they put up their hands when Raylan and Art enter as if it's no surprise at all.  Amazing.

Something makes me think that Dickie will live up into next season, through that promise Ellie May made him make about making her 'queen'.  His lunge at the guard when he was let out of prison made me laugh out loud.
Boyd is absolutely wrong to not kill Quarles right off the bat, but it is good to see Duffy getting
