Well, Raylan did tell Boyd what time he had left.
'Selfless'
Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
True. That could be seen as "kill Dickie before sunup" and not "I'm doing everything in my power to keep you from killing Dickie".
In retrospect, I don't think Raylan is that calculating or forward thinking. He's not politically minded. He's very of the moment. I can see him flipping between the heat of the moment "kill the fucker" and a belated "oh yeah, laws."
But man, I enjoyed the hell out of the idea that he was trying to be true to Boyd by taunting Boyd's ass into jail and into Dickie's orbit.
I miss Mags.
Yes, but that pig butchering scene at the end, that was fantastic. Very Game of Thrones-y, which I mean as a compliment. Harlan County is kind of Westeros-ish. And Mags had to fall so we can see this power struggle play out. Or whatever's coming, but struggle of some sort seems pretty assured.
I miss Mags.
Me, too.

When they cut to the silent observer putting his hand on the back of the other guy's neck, and the HUGE BURN THERE, wow. Shudder.
I have yet to watch White Collar this week, though. I feel guilty.

Right? That was beautiful. The storytelling, not the actual image.
I think one of the things that I am missing terribly from season 1 of Justified is feeling empathy for the "bad" guys, the supposed villains.
Me too.

That whole scene was all deadly menace and a pig carcass. No wonder Boyd looked so nervous about having to deal with that scenario.

I'm surprised y'all are missing that. I found the Bennetts terribly easy to empathize with and I'm already finding Neal McDonough's character sympathetic. I'm pretty sure there were one off characters last season, too, but my memory's too fuzzy to come up with any examples.
I'm intrigued by the possibilities with Limehouse so far. Neal McDonough's character doesn't really grab me so far, though.
I admit, I've been a big McDonough fan since Boomtown, so I'm primed, but those phone calls home are mighty intriguing.
Eta: so far Mr. Limehouse is just extremely scary. Which I also enjoy.
