Winona strikes me as kind of selfish, not sure that she would make a good mom. I was very unhappy with the whole money thing, not because she did it, but because she expected Raylan to make it better.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I was okay with Winona until the $$ thing. Now I look at her with the dirt eye.

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, the $$$ was a line . . . that she crossed. And I would have hoped that it would have been a line for Raylen too - but apparently not.

Right? And the whole save me thing. Ugh. How attractive is that? I guess I like that the other women in his life, including Mags, take matters into their own hands. At least Winona kinda did that by going to Art. If you tilt your head.

Because books.
I'm still confused about why Raylan insisted they put the money back. Sure, you couldn't spend it, but just burn it. Then nothing can tie it to you, and you don't caught in the evidence room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I read somewhere, possibly an Elmore Leonard novel, that it is far more difficult to burn a duffel bag full of money than you would think. Aside from that, putting it back comes the closest to making the whole thing not have happened, which is, I'm sure, what he really wanted.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Just got caught up on Justified, and yes, holy shit! I am sorry to see Mags go, much as I agree that she killed herself when she stayed in Harlan. I think the news of Doyle`s death did it as much as Loretta`s return, oddly. It was such a twisted relationship. I think Mags half wanted it to be Loretta that took her out, but it would have been at the cost of Loretta`s future. As it is, she`ll still probably have charges to face, although with tv levels of body count, maybe not. And anyway, Mags could see the shape of her future and it wasn`t a rosy one. She`d rather go out on her own terms.

Nah, she could claim that the gun went off by accident, and everyone would look the other way.

Loretta? She's a minor though, isn't she? So even if she had pulled the trigger, extreme emotional distress (the woman had killed her father, after all, and there'd been all the gunshots flying around outside) could have been used by a clever defense attorney along with her age to get her off.
