That could make sense. I imagine there's a lot of people from the past that Arlo would shoot at if he thought Tom was them.

I will say "me too" to all he people who were glad Limehouse was not stealing from a client. I take back my comparison of him to 21st century investment bankers. Limehouse is far more honorable and honest than Goldman Sachs or Wells Fargo or Bank of America... Of course Limehouse is fictional. I suspect there is much less honor among real thieves.

Does it strike anyone that Raylan has just come full circle? Deliberately goading someone who deserved it into drawing on him so he could shoot them was how Raylan got sent back to Harlan in the first place.

I've got to say the reversals in last night's episode were dizzying: double-, triple-, I think at least one quadruple-cross happening simulatneously.

Man, seeing Dickie get shot made me happier than it should have. Jeremy Davies (and his HAIR!) have been doing a great job making him so loathesome. I hope for the rest of the casts' sakes that he isn't going the method route with his appearence because he looks mighty ripe.

Just caught up on Mad Men -- I swear, every single scene between Don and Megan came right after he'd just found something out or gotten or made a trauma-adjacent phone call, and every time she walked in and they started talking I would tense up and think, Here he goes again, reflexively not telling her something important, because that's what Don does with women, not tell them things. And then he'd go and open up his mouth and ... tell her the thing. I don't even know what to think about a Don Draper who just goes around telling his wife all the things.

Now I'm full of a horrible Buffyverse foreboding. The only other woman he's ever been totally relaxed and 1000% truthful with died horribly of cancer; there's no conceivable way this show could allow us to see him being even marginally functional and content unless it intends, somewhere down the line, to crush the happy beneath its boot.

I wonder what Betty would think knowing that Don told Megan about Dick Whitman after, like, five seconds of being married. Hell, I was surprised when he told Faye.

I was shocked when he told Faye, but then un-shocked when he immediately ended it. Telling Megan, and sticking around? Double shock.

Everyone in my office is convinced he's going to fuck things up with Megan, but we're all equally convinced that she'll be able to handle it when he does.

This story of how I failed to earn a Justified toaster may be amusing.

When, based on things she said, I suggested the hostess's sister-in-law might enjoy Justified, she explained why she wouldn't. "I grew up with my parents regularly taking me to Klu Klux Klan meetings. My father and my brother both did time in Alcatraz for drug dealing. Cutting off all contact when I turned 18 was probably the most important and best life decision I've made. Watching Justified would be too much like spending time with family."

I did not tell her that for a murdering crimelord with Nazi tattoos, Boyd Crowder was a surprisingly nice guy.

I like Boyd Crowder...he's much more complicated than he looks.

if you watch "Mad Men" and "Walking Dead", you have to watch this. 4 minutes. zombie violence and perhaps slight inappropriate content. no nudity.
