It worked, because it seemed like Harlan County slowly sucks the life out of everybody anyways.
Live or die, there are no happy ending in Harlan County.

I honestly think his point was that you protect your loved ones by being responsible and not risking what you have for what you want if it comes at the expense of others. He had a similar talk about manifest destiny with Mike. At a certain point, you have to be happy with your life. I don't think he meant that to be…

…that's like telling a Sherlock Holmes story without Sherlock Holmes. There'd still be a mystery but it would go unsolved because everybody's pursuing the drifter angle.

Peggy was an ass kicker, by the way. She slowly tore apart the character in the show who was pretty much the poster child for misogyny….saving a helpless Ed in the process.

I also think he felt kind of bad for the way he used her.

I thought the baby picture might be of Simone…

It's definitely more of an epilogue. And I'm alright with that, considering it's technically a mini-series.

Peggy was in denial about her actions having bad consequences. Lester caught on to that pretty quick.

Even if you admit that life is absurd, you still got to do something with it. Acknowledging the futility of it just means you're able to define what it means to you.
Camus is right but, Lou & Betsy (and Ed) aren't wrong.

Good point with Mike's story. He talked about the true definition of a revolution while not realizing it also applied to him.
Sometimes the answer is so obvious, you just miss it.
Adam Arkin's stealing wheelbarrows.

Access to binge watching might help, actually.
In the olden days, if you missed one episode, you would have to play catch up on the next week.

He was certainly a charming man and he will be missed.

I think it was a good conclusion, as killing Boyd wasn't going to bring Raylan any peace. The, "We Dug Coal Together" ending was a little bit of fan service, I think. I didn't feel manipulated though.
If they were interested in pure fan service, they wouldn't have killed Dewey Crowe in the first episode.

I don't know if it's true either, which is what I love about The Coen Brothers and this show. It's almost like there is no wrong interpretation of them.

I love your interpretation of Hanzee's motivations.
And yes, it would be foolish to say that greed started in the 1970's. But, before that, there was mostly just hierarchies. Although it would have still been hard for a minority to manifest destiny at the time, it was finally technically possible. Then, the world…

I don't really think it was an anti-feminist statement they were making. I think it was a statement about how we can get caught up in our own bullshit and forget about other life. It's the turn we took towards personal capitalism in that time period. In the first season, when Lou said he would call it animal but,…

/life.
Cosby is old. He could die any day now.

Sand, Kip!
These burgers are literally made of sand.

That's how I would pronounce it.

It's fine in that context, as are a lot of quotes on here. If you can use it in your own sentence, that can be funny.
If you're just reciting lines, untethered to any situation actually going on, you're a parrot. You're doing what parrots do.
