I LOVED the little snippet of Mag signing the deal. She was so clearly out of her element, something she is NOT used to. Lovely moment of work by Margo Martindale.
Mal: Does she understand that? River: She understands. She doesn't comprehend.

To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
She's just fantastic.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
WHO WAS THAT WOMAN?
Man, shit is going to seriously blow up next episode.
Also, Raylan needs some nice prescription drugs.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
RIGHT? I DON'T KNOW!
I love that kind of representation of a person. That someone can just walk in, have a few conversations, and the whole scene changes. I love that everybody thinks they're running things, moving people, but the reality is, all the people are people. They keep thinking and feeling and reacting and doing stuff ALL THE TIME and it's not necessarily what the people who think they are in control think they are controlling.
Which is realistic.
And narratively difficult to handle, which I respect.
And yeah, I loved the bit at the signing. It was all normal courtesies, and she was all wrong in her body. Just, terrified, really. And dressed wrong and the wrong hair and it was like she'd just realized it, just seen it, and yet so determined to make it right for her family. I loved all the serious explication we got about her motives this episode.
And yeah, the finale is going to come down around everyone's ears.

Art Crawl!!!
You know what?
Apparently, there is a secret cadre of women who are actually running things in Harlem County.
That's what I think.

Trust my rage
I love it when I'm busy enough that I get a new episode of a favorite show and didn't even have time to want it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, you're totally right, sumi.
And also, how do I totally love a character who just cold-bloodedly sacrificed her son to be killed? But I do. She's just amazing.
I mean, I wouldn't want to hang out with her in real life.

Oh! And how much did I love Loretta discomfiting her well-intentioned foster mother by telling her about her high school job of selling weed in the school parking lot? I loved it a lot.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Just watched the latest episode. OMG I will miss Helen. Everything you all have said, I agree with.
I'd guess either his mother or his mother-in-law.
I agree, dcp.
I'm almost surprised there is still an episode to go in this season!

Last season's finale was pretty dramatic, so I'm expecting the same thing.
