Seriously, what other show clearly says "bad guy" for the bad guys, but makes you feel bad when they die?
That's what gets it for me. Their bad guys could be people I know or have known or are related to me.

Seeing Rolly die was awful.
So agreed. That was not the outcome I was hoping for. I was really hoping witprotec was going the be the result so he might be a recurring character (much like how I hope the bookie from last episode turns up again). I suspect he knew the knife wound was pretty bad, though, which is why he just said enough. Damn.

Also, I like how in most situations, Raylan is decidedly NOT a shoot first and ask questions later kind of guy, despite the fact that he seriously shoots to kill. He gives more than fair warning, and woe betides them that underestimate him.

That's one of the first things that I loved. That his gun was holstered and he was explaining to them that if they took it to the point where he had to draw, he would shoot to kill. He tries to talk first.

I LOVES this show. Olyphant has Raylan's easy swagger down. He's the yummiest kind of alpha male--unshakable but relaxed. I love how Olyphant seemed to not be acting in Deadwood and he doesn't seem to be acting here, and yet the two characters are so very different.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I haven't even seen this show but I'll say this about Olyphant; he's got the same quality that Viggo can bring: white hot intensity, but banked. Whether he's playing a good guy or a bad guy he really burns on the screen.
He stood up to Ian McShane's typhoon of cocksuckery and did not flinch.

Yeah--so many great lines in each episode of this show. The writer part of my brain is very very happy.

Didn't watch Justified yet, but last night's Southland was excellent once again. I really hope TNT picks it up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
