I disagree.  They can't have consistent characters because they have these plot things that need to get done and have to crowbar in the character actions to do them, so all the characters are inconsistent. 

I take the exact opposite view as Handlen on this.  I don't think the sloppy character work leads to sloppy plotting; I think the sloppy plotting leads to sloppy character work.  

I was interested in it until I read it was about zombies who reclaim their humanity and are being reintegrated into society.  I'd rather it was just a series length "Shaun of the Dead". 

Well, she pulled the door shut so they couldn't get to her and the Gov was making a lot of noise.  I thought it was a neat move.

I don't think it was Milton.  I think it was Faceless Henchman #4.  You know those henchmen with the perfect blend of expendable and invulnerable, who turn up to do something awesome because the plot requires it, but are never referenced before or since?  That's the vibe I was getting from that one. 

I'm going to be in the camp that Merle won't be a traitor, because even though he's an asshole, I think the show is better with Rooker.

No one, including anyone in the writers' room, seems to know.

Considering her brother was played by Anthony LaPaglia… well, I don't know if it was deliberate but it was perhaps unavoidable.

You couldn't make it now.  I'm thinking of the ending here. 

If you like her and like 80's action films, check out "Extreme Prejudice" with Nick Nolte and Powers Boothe.  (It also has everyone else in it.)

You know how you keep a secret?  You don't tell anyone.  And neither Boyd nor Raylan had what I'd call an emotionally honest relationships with their fathers.  Why would we assume either one of the elders would tell their boys about ancient history when they helped a guy unload some stolen cocaine?  Figure most of…

Well, it's not entirely clear that the Boyd's dad or Arlo really knew who Theo Tonin is, and even if they did they may have thought letting in undesirable carpetbaggers (the precursors to Quarrels) in to their little corner of the world.  And they did profit from taking the part of the 2 million in cocaine that Drew…

Mark was texting in the bedroom when he made some noise and Colt found him.  The whole conversation they had took place after the text had been sent. 

It's possible Colt shot the kid a few more times to make it look like they'd killed each other.  Like he said, it was like he was never there.  (I thought he did the head shot to make it look like the kid suicided, but whatever.)  If the cops were looking at it like a drug deal gone bad or a murder-suicide, Tim may…

Trespassing? 

Raylan was telling him he would drive Hunter and Nelson just got lost in his eyes.  I mean, the guy remembered his birthday a couple days ago.  Nelson was probably just feeling like the belle of the ball.

I think Arlo was holding out for a better deal and as a fuck you to Raylan.  If Boyd hadn't gotten Arlo's lawyer to tank the first deal that had him walking, he might have walked.  So I can buy him not taking Raylan's deal of a lifetime in a country club prison over getting away free (however unrealistic it might be).

It does make his decision to not tell the police that Boyd was the one who killed those robbers make more sense in retrospect though.  That seemed like a big secret for a guy who worked in a mine to keep, but it looks like of the secrets he was keeping it'd barely crack the top three.  (I mean, the ones we know about…

Shelby, I mean Drew, may have fucked his life up flatter than hammered dogshit, but he stands here today beholden to no human cocksucker.

I liked the way Wynn Duffy looked at Hunter's head at the end of his scene, as if he was sizing it up for being sewn onto a soccer ball.
