Between that and Matt Zoller Seitz's recent video essay, I just want to spend a weekend to rewatch Deadwood

It will be sad to see her go if she does because she really has been the only consistent presence of female agency, give or take a Mags and a Rachael. But hey: Mary Steenburgen seems to be set up as the predominate bad person for the foreseeable future, so that's fun

I'm just hoping that after Justified ends we get a spin-off where it's just Tim and Rachael cracking wise at each other in increasingly wacky situations

Tim, same as Rachael, dramatically improves any episode just from his presence. Because he's only around so much we don't get to know much about him, but I think that arc he had last season with his old Army buddy and Colt really showed how much like Raylan Tim can be, he's just too cynical from his service to really…

Overall, I'm just really impressed with how Justified, even with occasionally sub-par material this season, always seems to pull it out at the end of each season, which gives me hope that having Ava as an OITNB cast member hasn't been all for not. If not: At least she got all that ice cream

The accent has almost become endearing, though I imagine that's more due to some kind of Stockholm syndrome than anything. What really makes Daryl such a good antagonist is that born from that cowardliness is a strong sense of survival like Wynn Duffy's, yet because he lack's Duffy's intelligence, he can't see the…

I was shocked because it looked like when he was explaining what to do with the dope that he had hidden a corkscrew in the cigarette when, nope, it's just enough explosive to completely remove Mr. Picker's chest

Rapaport has been the secret MVP of this season. I imagine that upon rewatching the season, when you know that the first time we meet him at the beginning of the season is just the beginning, his performance will really pop out as a solid piece of character work

That's why I think she's going to die. Boyd blames Daryl becomes he's had to focus all of his energy on Crowes and not his betrothed, which leads Boyd to walk in on a Mexican standoff between Daryl and Raylan and Raylan letting Boyd kill Daryl Nicky Augustine style. More likely though she'll negotiate something with…

Even more than being a coward, Daryl represents what happens what Boyd becomes without his trademark conniving and code of ethics. When the ruthlessness, expert outlaw entrepreneur becomes the vicious, dim-witted criminal survivalist, Harlan becomes overrun by the unstoppable force of sadistic chickenshits

Rachael has always been calling the shots whenever she's involved; she's a natural leader. When paired with Raylan, she has always been the voice of his lawful side that keep his cowboy antics in check. Tim, on the flip side, has been the perfect distillation of the cold, dickishness that Raylan wears so well

Honestly, if you remove the Ava stuff, this is an A +/- episode. It's unfortunate that her storyline has been a lot of wheel-spinning this season, but the prospect of her being the Boyd of her prison is dramatically enticing, even if the season doesn't really have enough room to explore it. (Perhaps next season,…

Timothy Olyphant is so spectacularly menacing when Raylan is pushed into a corner. The speech he delivers to Daryl is terrifying that it highlights the true inanity of Daryl that he didn't submit to Raylan's boot right then and there

It's entirely possible that the isolation has driven Krieger insane(r) and brought out the more… eccentric aspects of his personality

Absolutely. There was a moment in tonight's episode where the drawings of Archer and Ray were just staring at each other with only the sounds of the everglades in the background, and Archer breaks the silence with only a word and it SLAYED me. Just perfect

Somehow without the lab, Krieger has been allowed to go full Krieger and it's magnificent

Archer — the show and the character — do more with silence than most prestige dramas. The show is so committed to just being good in a traditional sense that the beats would work just as brilliantly if the show wasn't animated

Not only that, but it was able to upstage the fact that she spent the majority of the episode in a cocaine-whipped cream bra

That trio is so impressive. This run of episodes has been a real treat. It's almost like an extended riff on that episode last season when Archer got bit in the taint by a snake in the desert: Just pure funny through and through

He's dead. That's why Art was impressed that Raylan didn't have to shoot him
