Interesting. Kind of a slow start to the season, but not in a bad way.

My recording cut off too. What happened after the prisoner started walking down the hall?

This episode featured two deeply stupid people, and in a different world Oswalt+Olyphant-LEO credentials=Downey Jr+Galifianakis-road trip.

I am not good with the deeply stupid. Even if Oswalt is done and gone, there remains the hooker whose name I did not get because she thought the bill could be real, and that's way off the deep end for my patience.

Raylan using the guy so blatantly worked for me--it's unlike Due Date in that way, since Bob has a perfectly valid pissy fit at him, and Raylan cops to it, and they move on. Just hopefully really far on. In opposite directions. But not so far on that they come back together on the other side of the earth (somewhere off the south west coast of Australia, JIC wondering, you know? Of course now I picture them swimming past each other--Raylan's using clean, efficient strokes, and only pauses his precise rhythm to tap his hat (hat's not leaving without it! Don't be stupid.) and say ";Sup?" and Dorky Dude is dog-paddling (he had a head start) and replies, with puffs of breath in-between words, sometimes in-between syllables, "Great! Actually, now what you bring it up..." and Raylan has gone back to slicing through the water with such determination that he is living shark repellent--Constable Bob, on the other hand, has collected a school of immature dolphins Swimming far below him, and only surfacing outside of his line of sight, who regard him in a complex way that bored dolphins do. He's pet, mascot, and experimental subject rolled into one, and they don't intend to feed him to anyone until they're done using him any way they can--beware the tricksy dolphins, Bob! They're more devious than Raylan.

Arlo killed the trustee because he asked about that bag/driver's license.

I thought that Arlo killed him because the guy was trying to cheat him by withholding information about the bag. Also, killing the trustee will get Arlo put in solitary, which will keep Raylan from being able to talk to him, which will piss Raylan off.

We don't rightly know why Arlo shanked the trustee. Are we assuming he's lucid this season?

When it comes to Arlo, it's wrong to assume anything.One of my favorite moments last year was when Art was giving Raylan advice and Raylan said "I've got a father..." and Art was like "I've met your father." And Raylan agreed to listen. (Not that I've been there, or anything. Well, okay, not exactly.)

I broke the news to Stepmom today that Leverage wasn't renewed. She had just gotten into it so I feel a little bad. But the amusing part is that she was really looking forward to next season with "those three all together." Apparently she ships OT3. Except she really didn't mean it that way. I don't think.

Oh, Justified. ILU.

Just saw the first of this season. (Not the 2nd) Who are you and what have done with Raylan Givens?

Also Raylan, if you are going to risk your career for $3,000 (though at the end it seemed to be more like $10,000) you might not want to discuss on your extension in the Marshall's office. Cause both the FBI and Internal Affairs are suspicious of you (FBI more than suspicious) and either could have a tap. Plus not impossible that the Marshall's office records all phone calls.

The second episode belongs to Boyd, although there is some good stuff in the office and the field with the marshals.It's Goggins that will have footage for his Emmy reel this week, though.
