He wasn't expecting her to share she's pregnant at that moment but he's clearly overjoyed. So, assuming they were actively trying? I wonder because in episode 2 and the episode where Winona steals the cash, they reference baby names and "a bunch of little Raylan's running around" as things they talked about when they were married. They clearly talked about having kids and both wanted that. So, it seems like they knew the next natural step in their reconciliation was having a child. I love that for them.

Raylan is what he is. Love ..."Come on, Winona. Raylan is what he is. Love him as he is, or let him go."<br /><br />Ohhh completely disagree. Catching up on Justified (and now having seen it in practically one sitting), and I absolutely do not get how people think Winona should just deal with it. Winona was capable of letting Raylan go hence why she divorced him and left him all those years ago. He wanted her back as much as she chose to go back to him. And he wants to be with her as much as she chooses to be with him. But the difference here is that Winona has asked him to not put himself in the center of danger. And Raylan constantly puts himself in danger. That's the nature of his job. He's no longer responsible for just himself. He has a child. And he wants Winona and the baby and the life. But refuses to change, even a little. Winona will always love him as he is but she also should be able to expect a life that isn't constant fear of her husband being shot or worse, not surviving a gunshot.

Billie, your review and the comments certainly hit all the points I was aware of while I watched it, but I need to add my kudos again to the actors on this show. They all do a wonderful job.<br /><br />The writers certainly enjoy leaving power vacuums at the end of a season! Looking forward to what happens next.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-71926371164581849972012-01-16T12:30:09.455-05:002012-01-16T12:30:09.455-05:00Thanks so much for your terrific comments, Jess. ...Thanks so much for your terrific comments, Jess. I'm really looking forward to season three, too. Although I honestly don't know how they can top season two.

Watching D...Great season, fantastic final episode. Watching <i>Deadwood</i>, I was never overly impressed with Timothy Olyphant. I guess because Seth Bullock was so tightly strung that we rarely saw much from him except anger and barely repressed anger. But he's been a revelation to me as Raylan. A character still carrying a lot of barely repressed anger at times, but having a much wider range of emotions. I've particularly enjoyed his comic timing in this role.<br /><br />I knew going in to this season that Mags wouldn't survive, and I knew that it would be the apple pie. What I didn't know what was that it would be something she did to herself. I kept thinking Dickie or Loretta would take her out. So when she reached for the glasses, then poured and took her drink, I found the scene surprisingly affecting. I'm sorry she's gone, but it made sense to me that she'd choose death after losing everything else she cared about. At least one of her final actions was saving Loretta from a fate like hers. It was almost a redemptive moment. Almost.<br /><br />Thanks for being the final push to get me to try this series one more time, Billie. Can't wait for tomorrow!Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-19865421503176006482011-05-09T21:04:32.586-04:002011-05-09T21:04:32.586-04:00I'm totally a fanboy of Timothy Olyphant's...I'm totally a fanboy of Timothy Olyphant's.

(That and the evolution of Boyd Crowder)<br /><br />That final scene... I was sure she'd poisoned the both of them, and hoping that mini-sip Raylan drank (anyone notice it looked as though he didn't swallow) wouldn't kill him... I thought she'd want to take her "ennemy" with her, 'cause I was sure she was doing some poisoning. Damn that woman sure knows how to make an exit!!! She will be missed.<br /><br />I don't think Raylan hates her, I think he pities her. And I love the two of them together managed to get through to Loretta in time.<br /><br />I'm sure Ava's going to pull through. The wonder for me is wether or not Winona will be there for Raylan (she'd better!).<br /><br />I'm thinking season 3 is going to be the Dixie Mafia trying to encroach in Harlan and Bennett counties now that the Bennetts are gone.<br /><br />Dikie being the lone survivor?! *shock*CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-73691148889396493062011-05-06T21:21:27.348-04:002011-05-06T21:21:27.348-04:00That final scene with Raylan and Mags just left me...That final scene with Raylan and Mags just left me breathless. I was sure Raylan was going to keel off that chair onto the floor. Timothy Olyphant was so powerful in that scene, the way he was so still and just sat there staring at Mags. WE all knew the Apple Pie was poisoned, but we were waiting for him to figure it out--after he drank it.

I'd love to see them both get Emmy nods, along with Timothy Olyphant, but the Emmys have a habit of continually shunning shows I love regardless of genre (<i>The Wire</i> and <i>Community</i> being two very good examples).Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.com
