In the Clint Eastwood film, "High Plains Drifter", the protagonist sets up (what the locals follow to be) a trap for the incoming bad guys. Clint's character then just rides away and lets the bad guys ride in and have their way with the locals (who had killed his character in his pre-life).
Raylan seems to be…

It seems that Boyd has used up about 12 of his 9 lives! ;)

I reminded myself of that line. Still, these former military goons … who seemed so disciplined and attuned to surrounding dangers … I had a hard time imagining that he'd allow Katherine to walk to another part of the room where she could pick up a weapon. Seems like either a lapse in detail or the writers even…

Did he hit Raylan in the gut? By Raylan's facial expression, was thinking he landed south by about 10 inches or so.

I think in the finale, Wynn should move his hair back and reveal horns! ;)

Comparing Raylan to a "Neo Nazi" and even stating that he is a "bad cop" are a little off base for me personally. Y'all do know what the Nazis were (and are), right?
Cops are like everybody else - there are good and bad ones and even the best live in gray areas from time to time.
If anything, I'd say Raylan is…

Where in pop-culture (specifically sit-com television) did you hear of cold-water related reduction in size of the male appendage before Seinfeld? Subject matter of this nature was verboten on TV not too long before this.

Seinfeld rip-off ("There was shrinkage!" - G. Costanza)

Some funny moments … but still, the constant borrowing (or outright plagiarism) from other sources. The "shrinkage" from Seinfeld. The "it's the plane" from Fantasy Island. Still, last week and this week are certainly (for me) the funniest so far this season. I still believe it's getting near the time to start…

I noticed a momentary loss of southern-gothic accent, myself.

As much as I love the Raylan character, he definitely seems to have that "out of site- out of mind" thing goin' when it comes to his family.

Just shows that he was smart enough to hedge his bets … and that maybe he DOESN'T trust Ava as much as we or she thinks! ;)

Also a life-long southerner. The two areas or regions where I hear the first-middle name combo are in the middle Tennessee area (for boys) and near Montgomery, Alabama for girls. Lot's of Jim Bob's (James Robert) and Mary Catherines in these areas.

A juxtaposition of how Raylan and Boyd become family men simultaneously. Or at least to the best of their abilities. I don't mean to project, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear Ava announcing that she's pregnant before we reach our end. ;)

Regardless, the tax payers of Harlan County will most certainly be spared the expense of a trial for Mr. Walker! There's no telling what his end will be, but I'm hoping for something spectacular! ;)

Both Boyd and Ava are capable of killing human beings. They didn't meet at a church social. I guess Ava's body count (2?) could be chalked up to self-defense, but these are certainly birds of a feather we're talking about.

That was a real baby really crying. Most productions that use infants find twins (triplets, even) so that they can be swapped out. Kinda makes me wonder if some of the dialogue was ad-libbed or written on the spot. If I was the producer, I'd tell that kid's agent, "she'll never work in this town again!". Where's…

Punctured radiator or water hose from all that flying lead (Barney Fife terminology!)? It could happen!

That's why falling into the pit just wouldn't have worked. Someone as verbose as Boyd Crowder deserves to go out with something a little deeper than , "Oh, shiiiiiit!"

I totally agree with your assessment of Choo-Choo. I am among those who grew fond of the character. But in defense of the posse, Choo-Choo drew first. Stopping his car on the train track didn't pan out. Maybe his first idea was suicide by cop?
