So hour three of The Killing moved along nicely tonight, I thought. I didn't want to shove anyone's teeth down their throat other than maybe Gwen, who I suspect hacked into Jamie's account to send that email.

But you know, it's pretty brilliant, making me feel sympathetic towards Jamie, considering how amazingly skeevy he is.

I found myself confused by that whole storyline because it seemed like the candidate set the whole thing up himself.

Re: Justified- so relieved that the Loretta thing exploded and is now hopefully over, I've been on pins and needles ever since Mags killed her dad.

OMG, Coover- you are (were) one scary, scary dude. A giant strong as hell man-child with no emotional stability whatsoever. Even for that goddamn family. He scared the shit out of me, and I'm glad he's dead. I was very concerned during the fight with Raylan, though, given that we were shown Raylan getting his ass handed to him by Coover quite handily a couple episodes ago.

AND OMG MAGS- you are *terrifying*. Her last scene chilled me to the bone.

I feel sorry for Dickie. But, damn, he could teach a class on How Not To Calm A Sociopath Down. WHOA.

Yay, awesome Ava! Yay, lack of Winona! I really did love her before these goddamn box of money shenanigans.

Boo, lack of Art. Neutral on Carol (???). She was somewhat badass, and an interesting foil for Mags. Also, I don't understand Boyd's plan? Didn't Arlo tell him to go to hell? Did we see him change his mind?

Anyway, pretty good stuff- would like to get back to the MOTW eps though.

would like to get back to the MOTW eps though.

In the one offs, where some of the bad guys are fairly sympathetic Monster of the Week does not quite always fit. M_F_R of the week?

Heh, absolutely the Monster label doesn't usually quite fit (except for Coover, shiver. And that dude that Gary keeps going to for money) but I liked it as shorthand.

Also, I don't understand Boyd's plan? Didn't Arlo tell him to go to hell? Did we see him change his mind?

We didn't see it,but presumably Boyd explained what Mags was up to with the property and talked Arlo into letting Boyd get him a piece of it, with a cut for Boyd. Arlo does love a good scheme, and is recently out the money Helen gave back to Raylan, so I can see him throwing in with Boyd, especially since he has a history of working with Crowders and not with Bennets.

Poor Helen. I feel bad for her too.

Oh, I just finished catching up with White Collar. Why am I sitting here on the verge of tears? Everyone that I love is still alive, but I feel like my heart is broken.

Maybe the look that Neal gave to Peter when he told him he didn't steal the art and he wasn't lying. Because at the time, I was sure that he was lying and I couldn't believe he would lie to Peter. But then he hadn't lied, so Peter not believing him hurt worse.

This past season I grew to love El even more and didn't think that was possible. My love for El and Peter is equal to my love for Peter and Neal. My love for Mozzie out weighs them all. When he was explaining to Insurance agent girlfriend why love with a con man can't work, and obviously referring to himself, I almost went through the screen to smish him. That and his hilariously fake "aw nuts" and running away when Peter showed up to fake hassle Neal and the watch guy.

I don't know who sent the card. The "You'll thank me" sounds exactly like Mozzie. I don't think that Mozzie would endanger Neal like that though. Alex wouldn't part with that much treasure, even for Neal. Peter wouldn't betray his integrity. I NEED TO KNOW!

As one with Theresa in Mozzie love (points to tagline).

--and, switching shows,

I am always in awe of Margo Martindale, she's believeable and solid in any role I've seen her in. But as Mags, she's been utterly amazing--it may be the role of a lifetime for her.

My money's still on Kate. For all of Mozzie's bravado, he likes Peter, and he really likes Elizabeth. While he would be okay with Neal going back to a life of crime, he would have something to lose as well.
