It’s sad to see the show on shaky ground. A scene like the Mexicans driving by the remote barn where Boyd sees them just makes me angry. They were just out for a drive and happened to cruise by this place? :rolleyes:
No - it wasn’t accidental - it was all a setup to get Daryl, The Mexicans and the Marshals all at the same place/same time -
The accidental parts -
– not counting on Daryl sending someone else (Wendy)
– Having the mexicans see Boyd (he’s dead according to Wynn)
– I guess the Mexicans arriving ‘after’ the marshals are in sight
Pretty impressed with Dewey - he beat the crap out of ‘dick face’ - I guess the anus is on him on what to do next.
Possibly, but in this case it was never seriously considered before because they new it was a bullshit confession.
Did someone upstream say that there is only one episode left? That’s going to have to be an explosive episode unless they’re going to leave things hanging for the next season. (For God’s sake, please get Ava out of jail. I’m hating that story line.)
One of the show’s writers got that gag from a real conversation a couple of years ago between two of the third-string hosts on 1310 The Ticket, a sports radio station in Dallas. Some of the other Ticket hosts play clips of that exchange all the time. I think the same writer has written a few other Ticket references into Justified.
Being a Ticket P1 (Stay hard!), two that I’ve caught are both from an episode a few weeks back: the plumber named Rhyner (and nicknamed Rhynes), and a character named T. C. Flemming. (Rhyner is one of the founders of the station and the lead afternoon drive-time host, and T.C. is (I think) a producer who has since moved on.)
So far this has been a less than stellar finale, and with 5 minutes left I don’t see it turning around. Less a finale, and more of a set-up for the final season.
So if setting up the final season was what the writers were angling for, why not spend any entire season on Boyd, Ava, and Raylan, instead of wasting 13 episodes on the Crowe family and doing nothing with them?
She met with Raylan at the end to make sure [del]the viewer understood that[/del] she understood the procedures, safe words, etc. Yeah, she got out by agreeing to sell out Boyd.
I’m glad she’s out. A baker’s dozen of pointless episodes with her in jail ending with her bleeding out in prison would have just been sadistic - to the viewers. I just hope next season has more Boyd & more Raylan, and preferably more scenes of them together.
Worst season yet. Hopefully next year they’ll go out with a bang.
Megs (Margo Martindale) set the standard for season villain, and despite Rappaport’s best work (which ain’t saying much), the Crowes never brought enough menace.
With a short final season, I hope they keep it tight. Realistically, Boyd should be finding new quarters somewhere in Montana to avoid the Mexicans who will be gunning for him, let alone the Marshalls. I hope the downfall of Boyd doesn’t mirror that same downfall Goggins had on The Shield.
Yes, it could be the case that the Crowe family will have no further influence on Raylan’s life. On the other hand, it’s possible that Raylan’s obvious identification with Kendal will remain part of the story. If this series is about Raylan finding a way of living that’s, er, justified, then being a sort of foster-father to Kendal could conceivably be a part of that.
Or, back on that first hand: the showrunners may well just drop Kendal and Wendy into the oblivion of “Florida” (as stated in the finale), alongside poor Winona and her baby.
