Anyone else think (episode spoilers with regards to the church).
That the sister is going to play Boyd and his group? It seems little too convenient she happens to be sitting in the back, and happens to show displeasure where Boyd can see it. Feels like a con.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I dunno, even preachers gotta eat, need to pay to run those lights, feed them snakes.
Nice to see that Wynn has reclaimed his "Crazy Fucker" crown now that Quarles is out of the picture.
To be fair to Wynn, Quarles was clearly insane, and so better to be behind the storm than in front of it. Wynn has always been a bad person though, like when Gary tried to use the football player as back up and Wynn tuned him up badly with no problem.

I also think that Tim is my favorite underdeveloped Marshal character. Especially the way he didn't want to take sides in the Art/Raylen squabble.
My favorite Tim moment was in Season 2 (I think) where he's basically on Raylan-babysitting duty and they have some wacky adventures. Tim has a line where he says something like, "This shit gets me hard."
More Art and more Wynn Duffy is the quickest way to a great episode

I think my favourite scene was with the family of Waldo.
I really just love how all the kids are trying to act all hard, and then the mum comes out and shuts it down. I think Justified has always had this brilliant way of defusing situations that, on other more 'flashy' shows would end up in enjoyable but less than realistic shoot-outs.
...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

I enjoy how Justified isn't afraid to portray white trash in a realistic light. The kindly old matriarch offering cheap booze to the cops while her kids pass around a joint and her retarded grandson brandishes a pistol at them seems perfectly appropriate for that environment.

Yeah, that's was pretty great.
But the show always does a great job of subtly condemning the shitheels who live in these places. These were a bunch a dirt-poor layabouts who were ready to shoot federal police over the revocation of the social security check they were drawing illegally, and even the grandson was in on it.
The only thing that would have made it better would have been some kind of slur against Obama.
Raylan's expression when the guy flung the chair down at the bar was hysterical
I love how perfectly he does the badass-who-is-really-tired-and-doesn't-want-to-deal-with-this-shit-anymore schtick
I really enjoy that too. And, like, you can't be sure he'd win. He loses some fights, too. But you can tell that he's both badass enough and tired enough that he doesn't give a fuck.
And yeah, I really like the way this show often defuses a situation without gunfire, as much as we joke about Raylan shooting people.
I'm pretty sure that guy would beat the goo out of Raylan. He got served in the mouth by Coover in season 2 and Coover was just a side of beef. Raylan didn't look like a badass to me, he looked like a guy that's tired of getting punched in the face by hillbillies. It's draining.
Raylan's a shooter, this other guy's a puncher. Raylan's response seemed to line up with "In the way you want this to go you'd probably win, in the way I'd do best at you'd be dead."
He also just wanted to go back upstairs and resume banging this guys wife, he didn't want to go upstairs and have her care for his wounds. And Coover had that retard strength thing going in his advantage, just like Hank Venture.

Finally watched both episodes so far.
Really great way to start, get you back into Arlen and the Justiverse. Art's speech in his office was a nice Justified summary as well, as told by his character.
Preacher thing could be interesting, kind of hope it isn't a Big Bad and goes back to smaller episodes like the first seasons.

As far as action stars go, Raylan Givens is Indiana Jones with a mountain folk drawl and a daddy who thinks Charlemagne is is a skin disease specific to mules.

well, give Coover his due - he's a big guy, sure, but he's also probably been fighting people his whole life
I do think mr. backyard MMA would probably win in a hand-to-hand fight, though, yeah, which is why they showed us his punching skills
I said it before, episode quality correlates strongly with Art screentime.
EDIT: I love that his primary concern with Raylan shooting somebody is that it will fuck with his ability to get his brisket for lunch.
Look that would be anyones concern based on Raylan's tendency to screw up an afternoon (It was funny because Art had previously mentioned Tim as the one looking to shoot someone).
And I almost think they are setting up Mr. Backyard brawler to get knocked out by Raylen, a lot like Mr. Icepick from season 3, establish his cred, show him as a threat, and then show Raylan do something intelligent and win the day.

Unless Raylan is having a bad day he'd never get a chance to engage in a fight in the first place.
Yeah I'm under the impression he and the bartender are separated, possibly even divorced and he still calls her his wife because he can't let it go yet. Though there was that vague favor he was working up to get, so we'll have to see what that is.

Honestly, nothing we've seen from BMMA guy would be negative if he wasn't a dick to Raylan. Now that we now the background he kinda gets some "guy allowance" to be a dick to Raylan, just like Raylan was a dick to Gary* and we didn't care.
*Okay, probably not on that level, that was a bit extreme towards the end.
Yea, later on it was definitely an exceptional level of justified dickery. Previous to Gary being a giant idiot Raylan was still a bit of a dick to him.
Well that was just ex husband to current husband dickery. Not the nicest thing to do I'll admit. Especially his first meeting with Gary where he broke into their house and was waiting down stairs.

Yea, and I was saying BMMC guy is just doing (ex-)husband to boyfriend dickery albeit from a slightly lower social class's playbook.
It just occurred to me last night while rewatching it that BMMC is only being sized up for a black hat because we didn't know his relationship with Lyndsy. His actions really aren't out of line with what we'd be cheering Raylan on with.
I don't think he's neccessarily a bad guy, I position him more a limehouse at this point. We'll have to see how he plays out to figure where they are taking him.
But yeah compared to what Raylan did to Gary he's being understated.

So, things definitely seem to be revving up.
Nice to get a good dose of Art and other PTSD marshal.

Unlike last season he came off as dangerous and unpredictable instead of just a zany lackey.

"We're gonna eat lunch first, on account of if you shoot somebody and then we won't get to eat lunch..."
Love it.
And the more Art is in an episode, in general, the better that episode is. I can prove it. With science.
