Another week, another great episode. There were a bunch of moving parts, all centered around a story about some low-to-mid level Oxycontin dealers who were in way, WAY over their heads dealing with our favorite trigger-happy U.S. Marshal. While the whole thing was great, the last scene was… it was… uh, exclamation point-y. Calm, cool Raylan is neat and everything, but furious, rampaging Raylan is still my favorite. The vague, spoiler-free highlights:
- An exciting round of Harlan Roulette (which, for the record, is TERRIFYING).
- Raylan toying with Oxycontin addicts the way a cat plays with a mouse before killing it.
- Neal McDonough’s Detroit gangster character, Quarles (aka Carpetbagger), and Wynn Duffy plotting.
- Quarles talking on the phone with his son while some dude is tied to a bed like it’s no big thing.
- Boyd punching people and repossessing family property.
- Johnny Crowder, wheelchair bandit.
- Headshots, obvs.
- No Tim or Art :(
- [after tossing a bullet at someone’s chest] “Next one’s coming faster.”
As always, feel free to discuss the episode in its spoiler-y glory in the comments. The word on the street is that “Justified” writer Jon Worley may try to swing by (his screen name is “jubbs”), so if you’ve got questions for him, fire away. There are a lot of balls in the air right now, with Carpetbagger, Limehouse, Boyd, Mags’ money, etc. How do you think this is all going to shake down? All I know is this: if I was playing Harlan roulette, I would gladly pull twice for immediate access to the rest of the season.
