The best source I have found for actors in the show says Yolo is played by [Bobby Campo.](http://justified.wikia.com/wiki/Yolo) More about him [here](http://justified.wikia.com/wiki/Bobby_Campo) and [here.](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2092545/?ref_=sr_1) ---

Hijack: As we didn’t have a thread last week, we didn’t get a chance to acknowledge Art’s terrific speech praising Drew: > [@](#): > > Art: “First thing we are gonna do is we are going to acknowledge that this guy is awesome!” > > Raylan: “What?” > > Art: “He shoots Theo Tonin, fakes his own death in a spectacular fashion, pushes a guy out of an air plane WHILE he is flying it, parachutes into Harlan county with enough coke and cash to jump-start the economy of a small country. And then he has the balls to get a job in law enforcement, not once but two times. He spends a couple of days riding around with you while you’re looking for him. And now he’s run off with a hooker that’s half his age. That’s some bad ass shit.” > > Raylan: “That’s pretty bad ass” In a thread about a previous episode, I asked why all the interest in Drew. This speech nicely explains it. ---

Don’t get me wrong, Raylan is the greatest US Marshall since … I dunno, since TV started. But Rachel, Tim, and Art rock, too. Rachel gets good zingers on Raylan, Art consistently cracks me up, and Tim is finally revealing what a bad-ass mofo he is. I love the writing on this show. I was watching the Walking Dead during the palaver\* between The Guvnah and Rick, and was thinking to myself, “If only Raylan were sitting in Rick’s place, this’d all be taken care of post haste.” \*Watching Justified always gets me saying things like “palaver.” ---

Seems to me both Tim and Raylan will be angling for a big Marshal promotion, unless the inevitable Colton-Tim confrontation goes badly for him. Good for Tim. Drew and Rachel were in the engine of the coal train, so they must have certainly stopped the train somehow to get on board, I presume they called the local train dispatcher. Ain’t no boxcars on a coal train to do the hobo thing. ---

Perhaps they boarded the train during its regular stop in Harlan? ---

Forgot to mention, I realize Justified isn’t actually shot on location in Kentucky but the circle-the-wagon standoff scene looked way too much like California rather than Appalachia than they usually manage (like the episode where Raylan and Boyd visit the Hill People, which they did do a good job with). ---

I love the way they don’t bother explaining things with this show right away. Great example last week, when Raylan’s trying to figure out how Drew was going to get out of town. He talk to himself, “I’m Drew Thompson, not Shelby, how do I…” then figures it out and immediately leaves the room without explaining himself. Then in the next scene Drew tells Ellen Mae he’s going to fly out. And here’s me forgetting all about the flying thing :smack: ---

> [@The\_Second\_Stone](#): > > Well, Bob might not be a bad-ass, but he is one tough son of a bitch as evidenced by the beating he took without talking. And never assume that you’ve disarmed a preparedness nut like Bob. > > I had thought that Ava was going to kill Augustine from the moment she started gabbing at him. I figured Boyd whispered in her ear when he kissed her goodbye. I was very surprised she didn’t light his face on fire, grab the gun and shoot him. No way Johnny would have shot Ava. > > I presume that Colt was under orders to kill the rifleman. No way he’d want to cross Boyd again. Colt is a very dangerous man, with or without the heroin addiction. When Bob, already beaten to a pulp, manages to pull the knife and viciously stab Yolo…it was one of the most satisfying TV experiences I ever had. I actually yelled in excitement and scared my dogs. I think Boyd knows he has to fight Theo whether he gets Drew Thompson or not. Ava should have killed Augustine when she had the chance. ---

> [@Tarwater](#): > > How much time did that buy them? Two or three minutes? There was only a minute or so of plea ding on Boyd’s part before Raylan allowed them inside. I imagine there would’ve been just as much hesitation from Boyd had they gotten to the door and heard only silence from the other side. Tonin’s men may have even spent additional time clearing the school one they busted into the principal’s office and found it empty, thinking perhaps they were hiding Drew elsewhere. > > If Raylan’s support hasn’t arrived at that precise moment it seems likely both him and Bob would’ve been killed. And for what, to buy Drew and Rachel an extra couple of minutes they would’ve had in any case? > > I’m nitpicking, though. I thought the episode was fantastic, but that scene just seemed like a lazy way to explain Drew’s getaway to the audience. Well, it’s implied that Rachel and Drew made their way to the train shortly before the first time that Boyd and Picker arrived at the school. If they’d all been gone when Boyd got there, then Boyd sends the signal to Augustine to widen the search, and maybe they think to check trains. This way, Boyd has to stay at the school’s perimeter waiting for his backup to arrive, and if that takes 15 minutes or so, that buys enough time for Drew and Rachel to be well away. In other words, they were stalled for the whole time that Boyd was waiting for backup, not just the time it took to chat. ---

I love that they used an Ale-8 bottle for the Molotov cocktail. [Ale-8 posted a pic of Art with it on their Facebook page.](http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/2781_10151366312558435_1924718046_n.jpg) I also love that last week they finally addressed the show’s biggest geographic problem, when Art arrived in Harlan (from Lexington) and said something like, “That took longer than I expected. How are you coming down here every other day?” (Harlan is a good three-hour drive from Lexington.) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/justified-4-11-decoy/653433.md?page=1)
