I LOVE the boss--great character and the actor underplays it perfectly. Loved the "deputizing" and that Boyd appreciated it when he heard about it. Hell, I just loved everything. This is MY show.

Did anyone else feel a bit slashy when Raylan in his vest and Boyd in handcuffs were sitting in the ground talking? Just me, then? Ive never seen a lot of slash on this show until just then.

But slash aside, there's something i just love about this show.

I'm working my way through the S2 Leverage discs (I'll try and get yours in the mail by Saturday, Cass), and, just, ♥. Especially for Beth Riesgraf, who continues to be responsible for much of what makes Parker really stand out. I love that so much improv makes it into the show--in Montreal I was on the improv side of the comedy crowd and John was on the scripted side. He was never one of the comics that took the divide seriously (god, some were outright PISSY about it), but it does make me laugh that there's so much improv in his well-written baby.

Colin was part of that scene, right? Which side was he on? I'm guessing the improv?

Ayup. Incredible improviser. Our troupe performed at the same comedy club where John did standup, which is where we all met, even though we were all at McGill. The English-speaking Montreal comedy environment was pretty incestuous. And fucking talented.

Oh, I'm sure that people are slashing the hell out of them. They used to "dig coal" together.

So are all the commentaries drunken commentaries, or is specific one(s)?

My season 2 discs arrived today. I think I need to watch the Two Live Crew episode with commentary, but I'd love to know the drunken one(s) if they are specific.

I'm only in by three episodes, but as far as I can tell, they're at least a little lit on all of them. I think they find that's one of the best parts of doing commentaries.

You can hear beer cans opening in #2 and #3, for sure.

I finally watched Justified, and was coming in to say stuff about Walton Goggins on Fresh Air. She asked if Boyd was really (a) a white supremacist and (b) born again. He said no to the first -- because he wouldn't play the character if he actually was, and wouldn't answer the second -- he said he didn't think the writers knew either, when they started, but they do now. That dude was fascinating, and I love hearing people's real voices. Unrelatedly (except it was also on Fresh Air), I forgot how different Jerry Orbach's voice was from Lennie Brisoe's.
