What a boring and terribly conceived character. Amy Smart is not very good in the role but it's quite underwritten. This is the first time I've noticed that an actor has zero chemistry with Timothy Olyphant (I didn't think the actress who played Lindsay in S4 had much chemistry with him either but she always felt like a throwaway character). What is wrong with Raylan though, to take Alison to Florida the FIRST time he is meeting his child? And I LOL'd at Alison musing over whether Raylan is trying to make Winona jealous. The least Raylan could do is show Alison a picture of Winona. They are not just operating in different leagues, they are on different planets.

If it weren't for Wendy I'd say all the female newcomers this season sucked. <br /><br />I agree about Kendall turning out to not be that compelling after all. Loretta stays the king.<br /><br />"Hey, thanks again, Marshall"<br />"That was your first thank you"Onigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-46018341552511674082014-03-10T11:38:59.067-04:002014-03-10T11:38:59.067-04:00As I was watching this episode, I hit upon what it...As I was watching this episode, I hit upon what it is that isn't working for me this season. There is no sense of the imminent danger there has been in the past.<br /><br />While the Big Bad is usually someone with whom I can relate, there has always been a real sense of peril, that whomever is currently the villain can cause real harm. I do not feel that way with about the Crowe family. The characters are written in a way to be almost stereotypical rednecks and, therefore, very difficult for me to take too seriously.<br /><br />Your comment about Danny and Ed being the same actor made me smile. For me, A.J. Buckley will always be Adam Ross.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-71400678938122296722014-03-08T15:53:27.601-05:002014-03-08T15:53:27.601-05:00Wow. I, too, did not realize that Ghostfacer Ed a...Wow. I, too, did not realize that Ghostfacer Ed and abominable Danny Crowe were played by the same actor. That's pretty shocking. Freeman really may have a point about Superman's disguise. :)<br /><br />This episode didn't do much for me overall, but the "heavenly mother"'s line about most women being in jail because of a man, did get me reflecting on Ava's situation a bit. I like Ava a lot, and while watching, it's easy for me to feel bad about her plight, and to start thinking she's a victim in all this. But the truth is that she's in jail for murdering Delroy --- a crime she actually committed. No one made her do it. He was a terrible guy and I didn't shed any tears over him, but Ava made the choice to kill him. If memory serves, it didn't really play like self defense or defense of someone else. She was pissed and she shot him dead. (Please correct me, if I'm misremembering.) <br /><br />And Boyd was none too pleased about it, though he did try to help her cover it up. Certainly, Boyd's activities and machinations have made Ava's situation more complicated, as people have tried harder to hurt her because of her connection to Boyd. But she wouldn't be in that situation in the first place if not for her own choices. <br /><br />Just something my mind was chewing on, since this episode didn't give us much else to really get into. :)Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-19440073023730345582014-03-06T16:53:39.231-05:002014-03-06T16:53:39.231-05:00If anything, this episode set the stage for a grea...If anything, this episode set the stage for a great victory for Boyd or an even bigger fall. If not that then it at least gives the option of a high stakes shootout. Little does Boyd know that Ava has raised the stakes even higher with her own gamble.<br /><br />I'm still not sure where Raylan fits into the equation. He's been kinda milling about in the background this season, I sure hope he steps it up soon. He may miss all the fireworks if he keeps this up. Then again Raylan does have a habit of showing up at the most inopportune times, at least as far as the criminals are concerned.<br /><br />Concerning your realization about Danny. It seems Superman's disguise isn't as far-fetched as people seem to think, haha.Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265555641080269765noreply@blogger.com
