[Justified] Season 4 - Raylan makes the Canadian Tuxedo look SEXY.

What? He already knew at that point he was trying to set him up. The only thing keeping Ellis there was the thought of violence. Neither Dickie nor him have any reason to stay at that point in the story other than fear for their lives.
I want a .gif of that camera zoom in on him in that scene.
It didn't hit the high that the S1 and S2 finishers hit, personally, but it was still fantastic.
Disarmed. Heh.
Some great moments. The Duffy scene was amazing.
Also
Oh D:
Didn't exactly end with a bang, but that was a hell of a thing.
One thing that did not jive:
Are we meant to assume he was going to rob the piggy bank himself or did I miss something?
Raylan went completely off the deep end this time.
What the hell was going on with Erol? At first I thought that Limehouse had had him shoot Tom to get Quarles implicated and removed. But since Arlo was the one that shot Tom, why did Limehouse want to get rid of Erol? For flaking out and leading Dickie Bennett to Loretta's stash?
The entire Arlo thing was insane (no pun intended). Arlo's apology to Raylan was the weirdest bit, but the last few minutes are particularly raw. I wonder if it was brought on by realising he'd - while off his meds - tried to kill his son, and being remorseful, or if he was really just fucking with Raylan.
All the Quarles stuff was good. I don't quite understand why he let the woman go though. Originally I thought it was to divert the majority of the forces so he could get Raylan, and that's still a possibility, but then he was still going to go through with getting Theo his money afterwards.
And then we have Erol coming back specifically to shoot Quarles. I don't get that at all. Did he think doing so would pay Limehouse back and let him stay? Or was he just looking out for Limehouse? Hard to say.
As a general thing, I feel it could've used a little more focus on a secondary character (that isn't Boyd). The S2 finale was particularly good because of Loretta's part in it, whereas there were a lot of threads to be tied off in this episode, and it needed a lot more focus. Some shows can suddenly tie them all off in a neat knot, but I didn't think Justified quite managed it this time, though to be fair, a couple need to be lefting hanging for S4.
Still fantastic TV.
Well now that it's cleaned up, Limehouse decided Erol just wasn't a 'good fit' for Noble's holler anymore.
And not just because of his big stupid baby head.
[e]This may have something to do with the fact that I watch Burn Notice, a show where Wynn Duffy plays the supreme evil behind all the world's ills, and then I tune in to Justified to see Quarrles making him his bitch.
On Errol
Also Errol definitely came back to save Limehouse. When Raylan drives into the holler at gunpoint Errol is driving by on his way out and he notices Raylan and gets suspicious. I think it shows the strength of Limehouse that Errol was so loyal that even after being banished he came back to save Limehouse.
For most of the season I haven't liked Limehouse all that much. He just seemed like such a pale imitation of Mags, but these last 2 episodes have done wonders in setting Limehouse up as a wonderful villian going forward.
Ava, Arlo and Boyd becoming 'family'
Arlo dealing with the loss of Helen, and possibly regret for how he dealt with Raylan
Raylan dealing with becoming a father and his relationship with Winona
The curious relationship of Quarles, Theo and Sammy
Quarles' relationship with his father, and in turn with his family
Loretta's new family in a minor way
The relationship between Limehouse and the Givens family
Kinda wonder if it was intentional or not.
I imagine next season will have a lot of him dealing with those things, looking inward a lot more than he has so far.
Pretty much this. For a TV show conversation, Limehouse not referencing the previous statements from several episodes back made things a little tricky to recall. For a natural back-and-forth between two people who already know all this, it makes sense he wouldn't even have to mention it.

And Arlo shooting him is way too late for Raylan to give a shit. Maybe it will be another drop in the bucket, though, that overflows eventually. But I'd prefer Raylan not descend into a deep depression, even if it would totally be earned, since that's just no fun to watch.
He mentions that he was playing the same game as the pawnshop owner, and the pawnshop owner didn't really put a bullet in the gun. I don't think Raylen is stupid/dilluted enough to consider shooting Duffy with Duffy's own gun.
"I took his gun, then he took mine, so I shot him with his" isn't a very convincing story given their on-record history.
Jere Burns did some wonderful stuff this year.

Man, I loved the way Duffy said that.
Actually, Duffy was basically perfect in this finale.
And I don't know why, but I loved this finale better than everybody else seemed to. Like, I think it was easily as good as S1 or S2. I still feel like the show keeps going up.
Count me in on season 3 being the best season so far. Mags was great in season 2, but the plot was tighter this time around with the 3 way tug o war. It was tense, funny is a dry, dark way that was very satisfying, and it wrapped up beautifully.
I know it's probably never going to happen and may even be antithetical to how they've built the show so far, but I'd love to see an arc of episodes with Raylan going back to Miami for a bit. This team is doing Leonard just so much justice, I'd love to see some of his other locales and stories.
That trailer didn't tell us a whole lot about what the next season is going to be about. Tent revivals, maybe?
I like the idea of Raylan just finally giving no fucks about anything. He's been a superlative officer and is responsible for the collaring of several major organize crime schemes, as well as basic investigative work on smaller crimes, and has put some bad people behind bars or in the dirt.
Him having a full-on battle with internal affairs should be awesome.
Also, bring back Karen Sisco! This should be a buddy-cop show with Raylan and Karen busting up the Dixie Mafia and the Miami Cartel.
