Tom and I were talking about Boyd's criminal enterprises and decided that he's much better when he's going on instinct and in the moment. When he gets all plan-y, it just all falls apart for him. Much better on defense than offense.

Man, I love the potential of Boyd and Darryl. Also, Carl just became my new favorite secondary character.

And, poor Dewey, couldn't even get a kidnapping right because of bad cell phone coverage.

Caught up on Justified. What did Raylan expect? That one punch would be enough from Art and he would be scolded and forgiven?

Also I love how the writers justify the title of the show by showing how everyone thinks they are justified. Boyd thinks everything he does is OK cause he is a natural leader and anyone who gets in his way deserves to be run over. Raylan thinks everything he does is OK cause he lives by his own special cowboy code. Wendy thinks helping her brothers get away with shit is justified because they are family. And so on. Everyone on the show thinks they are righteous, doing what they should do or what they have to do - justified. Wynn Duffy may be an exception.

Caught up again on Justified. Raylan wasn't kidding about winning the radio contest. He really did take the bribe from the hacker who offered to teach him how to win contests. And he almost didn't rescue Kendall. Downhill spiral much?

Yeah, we joked that when Raylan knocked out Michael (the guy looking for payback on Uncle Jack) that it was the most he'd busted a sweat all season. His letting the hacker get away the previous week also made him look like he really didn't give a shit anymore.

Seems like Boyd and Ava are the protagonists this season. So far Raylan is a supporting character. I'm sure they will give him more to do in the finale. Maybe even before.

I would totally go out of my way to eat at a food truck called It's Hard Out There for a Shrimp.

Sorry, wrong thread.

I'm gonna say Dewie killed the wrong guy.

That's all I got for now.

Is Boyd an anti-hero or a straight out black hat who happens to be a protagonist? Once the villain is the protagonist, is that pretty much the definition of an anti-hero?

I wouldn't say he's either.
