I don’t believe Boyd is aware it was a murder attempt - after all, if the guy had wanted him murdered -he could have let boyd slip. (To boyd view - not ours - we know what it was).
The train has left the station.
Zach has apparently not forgiven the Crowders.
Ava is in a world of shit.
Let’s dust off that sniper rifle, shall we?
Well that took a sudden turn. I was expecting the bad guys to survive longer, like a normal show. Especially Choo Choo.
Yeah, me too. I was expecting at least one fight between Raylan and Choo Choo. They haven’t had a problem showing Raylan getting his ass kicked in previous seasons.
So a couple of good scenes with Markham! Him finding out about the murder of the real estate agent; and him proposing marriage to Mary Steenburgen. Keep your enemies closer perhaps? I wonder if it was Markham who was the anonymous tipster from years past?
Simster, I only wonder if Boyd started to speculate it was an attempt because of the odd way he acted when he came home and they asked how his day went. Then again, it could be because Boyd isn’t crazy about Ava talking to other men when he’s not around; and here it is happening two days in a row.
Question … did the two cops (who found the realtor, and later Choo-Choo) get off the train that was approaching Choo-Choo’s car? If they did, how in the world did they know to be on that train to find him?
That bothered me. I was loving the symbolism and the way the show was subverting viewer expectations with that scene – right up until it looked like the cops got off the train that almost hit Choo-Choo’s car. I can’t make that work no matter how hard I try to suspend disbelief.
I assumed the two guys who got off the train were train employees (e.g., the engineer or whatever) and not cops. Did I interpret that incorrectly?
I thought at least one of them was one of the cops, but I could be wrong about that.
They weren’t cops - they were the guys driving the train. Completely different actors than the cops we saw earlier.
We did hear sirens in the background, so I assumed the train engineers called in the stopped car and the marshals were on their way to deal with Choo Choo.
These are both on track -
As was Choo Choo.
The actor who played Choo Choo, Duke Davis Roberts, sounded so much like Thomas M. Wright (who played Linder on The Bridge) that I wondered if he was being dubbed by Wright.
But maybe it’s just a case of similar voices.
Choo Choo was a great character. Too bad it was so short-lived.
Very good episode. The Ava & Boyd and Garret Dillahunt scenes were excellent. I just had one problem - who wears a white shirt when they’re taking an infant on two airplanes and a long car ride?
I thought something might happen during the medical appointment, like a threat on the baby’s life. Boyd or Avery Markham might have found out about the appointment.
And was Boyd more pissed at the idea that Ava might have slept with Raylan than that she’s a CI?
That’s really not all that surprising.
nor was his handing her an empty gun with the “shoot me” speech.
But I honestly thought - for a minute - that he was going to shoot her.
Which, of course, would have brought more heat on himself had he done so.
Yeah, as much as you want to you can’t just shoot someone who just admitted to being a CI on the spot. You know they will be looking for her.
Boyd has suspected Ava is a CI for quite a while. He didn’t want to believe it. He has only told her little bits, I think where the mine is. And he knows that Ava and Raylan talk, and he left the documents for her to find. He’s been testing her all along. What he really cares about is that Ava is his, and the icing on the cake is that she would carry no torch for Raylan. Boyd wants what his brother and Raylan couldn’t keep. That’s Ava.
Hey - he did offer to buy her a Dairy Queen.
