Justified: the next time we have this conversation, it won't be a conversation

[wishfulclicking]

This show.

-Helen's death surprised me in the way that I felt blood was going to be spilled, and I feared what rash thing Dickie would do, and that conversation between Helen and Ava really had extra depth on the rewatch now that I knew what was going to happen. That scene made me think of the second season finale of Sons of Anarchy when the baby is kidnapped and the other guy was stabbed.

-Raylan continues to be a good lawman but a lousy marshal and his coworkers are not impressed. Tim was spectacular tonight: so dry and witty and outwardly laconic yet ready for action. I am a sucker for anyone who refers to The Bodyguard.

-Gary. I actually don't think this is the last of him but I can hope.

-Boyd and Ava are hot together but I don't think Boyd is good for Ava.

-Preview for next week has me so excited for the next episodes. I can't believe there's only two left!

Tim got on my bad side for reasons that have nothing to do with him and everything to do with the fact that the person running the Justified tumblr was a Pacific/Jacob Pitts fan who put up pictures of him far in excess of his actual appearances on the show, and then sometimes Raylan, and it was annoying. But the person doing it now is more of a Olyphant/Goggins fan. And then also, Tim has been more of a character and is very often hilarious, though apparently some people think that his ability to quote--not refer to, but directly quote--The Bodyguard is evidence that he's gay, which I find sort of silly.

I am gutted by Aunt Helen and want to hit Gary over the head with a clue by four and honestly think Raylan needs to stop protecting Winona from the consequences of her actions or she'll never fucking learn. Don't marry unctious guys like Gary, Winona.

Also I love how Rachel is both in-charge and fed up with Tim and Raylan. She could not be rolling her eyes more at the group of them.

Rachel is the best, I bet her and Art commiserate with each other sometimes.

I really want Gary gone but I don't think he actually will stay gone for long. He was scared then, but he obviously feels entitled to Winona and he's risky and rash, so he'll probably pop back up and Winona will be upset when she finds out Raylan's method of protection.

The Tim being gay thing is not the first I've heard of it, people were waving it as a possibility since the episode when he had to let Raylan and Art in to talk to Arlo. My stance on it is one of ambivalence: I don't think there has been any proof that he is but I wouldn't be shocked if it turned out to be true.

There's a tumblr for Justified? I just track the tag.
