Once that happened, she went to go stay with her mom and live a much safer life with a new baby on the way. Makes sense given that she was nearly killed because of Raylan. And I do think it was also partially due to putting some distance between Raylan. It's sad to think that Raylan missed the birth of his daughter because he once again chose his job over everything else. I get that he's incredibly fearful that he will turn into Arlo but being an absent parent is just the same as being a present, bad parent. Winona deserves better, will never understand people who hate on her but continuously give Raylan a pass for being a deadbeat dad.

Not just the slow-mo but the music playing it straight like it's a legitimately moving moment. Too good<br /><br />Sorry about Sammy, because the death of Sammy means the death of his ass-kicking shadow too... but at least Wade's back, and is actually the return I was most cheered about seeing. Just something about that guy's manner that really gets to my funny bone. There's dumb funny and then there's his special caveman kind of quality. Of course he'd feel the need to specify the blowjob offer isn't from himself. Oh yeah, seeing Duffy's actor's name in the opening credits also got me good. It's a really really good start for the new state of affairs.

But even when it is difficult to follow Justified is still better than every other crime drama out there.

Our Raylan is back in fine form; loved the way he shot holes in that plastic swimming pool as he insouciantly sauntered out.

It makes the world feel more fully realized when we get to see so many familiar faces like Reardon, Vasquez, Wade, Sammy Tonin, Picker, Paxton, and even Raylan's old boss played by Matt Craven --- even if some of them exited stage left pretty quickly.<br /><br />I, too, was absolutely convinced that Marshal Sutter was going to die before the end of the episode. During the confrontation with Sucre, I was sure he was about to bite it. I was very relieved when he didn't.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure the Florida Crowes really were in the sugar business, and that it wasn't a euphemism for something. The marshals said they were selling it to candy stores that sold knock offs of things like Mike and Ike's. I actually heard a report on NPR a couple months ago, talking about how taxes on sugar or high fructose corn syrup was an issue for candy companies (I don't remember the particulars), so it stands to reason that there might really be a black market for illegally imported sugar.<br /><br />I honestly don't know how to vote on the fate of evil Sam Anderson. I thought Paxton was dead until the wife went over to him and said she'd take care of him. Then I suddenly thought maybe he survived, since she's a doctor. But maybe she <i>was</i> just talking about embalming him or some such, as you suggested. I think Paxton said she was the one who prepared the bodies for him, so that would make sense. I hope he's dead. I think Boyd committing that murder could be more interesting from a story perspective than him having to deal with not quite getting the job completely done.<br /><br />And, finally, I missed Tim and Rachel, too! I'm not sure they were a fair tradeoff for all the small returning guest parts. :)Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-39548522737354931782014-01-10T08:56:23.318-05:002014-01-10T08:56:23.318-05:00Judge Reardon: “Mr. Crowe, a settlement offer of $...Judge Reardon: “Mr. Crowe, a settlement offer of $20,000 has already been made. The U.S. Attorney has modified it to three hundred. Do you accept that offer?”<br />Dewey: “No I do not! After what I’ve been through, my… kidneys and everything? You telling me all I get is $300?”<br />Reardon puts his head in his heads and sighs. “Three hundred thousand, you nitwit.”<br />Dewey reacts in a way that shows us how ridiculous he truly is.<br />Judge Reardon: “I’ll take that as a yes. Next case.”<br /><br />This opening scene is one of the funniest things I have ever seen on screen. From Dewey’s idiocy, to Raylan’s snark, to the AUSA actually bargaining the settlement figure up, to the judge’s reactions and boredom, it was brilliantly done. I have watched it a half dozen times, roaring with laughter each time.<br /><br />There was a lot going on this episode and more than once I had to stop and watch again because I was losing track of who was whom and where we were. That’s all right as I trust the writers to make it all make sense in a week or so. The Crowe family looks as though they might be fun to watch, although poor Dewey’s fortune appears to be disappearing quickly.<br /><br />The Elmore Leonard tribute was well done. Does it make me a bad person that I think Olyphant looks better with his hair shorter and in the hat??<br /><br />Something was niggling at the back of the mind, so because the internet knows everything (love that!), I looked it up. A group of crows is called a murder.

As to Paxton, he looked dead, and Boyd asked the Latvian if he was dead. She didn't answer, and he took her not saying anything to be a yes, he didn't actually check or shoot him again. I think PAxton is alive and his wife is going to be loads of trouble.hekateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248476836969662392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-10331145229336094172014-01-09T23:12:12.418-05:002014-01-09T23:12:12.418-05:00They've definitely set a buncha cards on the t...They've definitely set a buncha cards on the table, as well as removed some. But this show tends to use the first few episodes as setup so I just rolled with it.<br /><br />I feel kinda bad that Dewey's cousin is probably gonna put a real damper on "the good life" that he had just gotten.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure they actually were in the illegal sugar import business. Sutter explained it while they chatting in one part.And yeah I kept thinking he was gonna die too.<br /><br />Seems like this Ava business is gonna make Boyd do something extra reckless. I can't wait. I think Paxton may still be alive, albeit very braindead.<br /><br />Shame about Elvis, I liked him. Besides him trying to outshoot Raylan, he was a rather clever and resourceful guy.Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265555641080269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-12225160553386708632014-01-09T22:33:19.409-05:002014-01-09T22:33:19.409-05:00Excellent review, Billie!

As you say, the episode had so much (too much?) going on, but I'm happy <i>Justified</i> is back and broadening out to a more national--international!--scope.<br /><br />Even though I knew Dave Foley was guest-starring in an episode of <i>Justified</i>, I didn't realize at all that he was one of the Canadians. Then I felt stupid, because who else would he be? Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.com
