FINALLY CATCHING UP ON JUSTIFIED.
Wynn Duffy referenced Mythbusters while he and Raylan were having another pissing contest and I DIED.
Ava killed that fucker of a pimp and took over the biz and I JUST LOVE AVA SFM.
Ava and Boyd's relationship continues to absolutely slay me with its perfection. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SFM. BOYD RESPECTS HER SO MUCH. THEY HAVE SUCH A BALANCED PARTNERSHIP UGHHHH I CANNOT HANDLE IT.
BOYD'S ENTIRE SPEECH DURING THE SHERIFF ELECTION. BOYD CROWDER COULD FUCKING TALK HIS WAY OUT OF HELL AND INTO HEAVEN I S2G. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ENOUGH BOYD IN THIS FUCKING SEASON AND IT MAKES ME SAD.
I love that the new sheriff is Jim Beaver, lol, and he's SO FIERCE.
I've developed such a soft spot for poor Ella Mae. She's SUCH a mess, but I love her.
Quarles' backstory: O___O JFC, that is one fucked-up man.
The Tanner Dodd story and resolution made me laugh at its sheer ridiculousness. That's how fucking incredible this show is -- it can set up the most laughable, implausible bullshit and then carries it off so successfully. THE POETIC JUSTICE OF IT! Dude rigs a bomb on the sheriff's car, dude blows up on a landmine. AH-MAYZING.
Raylan hooking up with the fiesty bartender -- I like her. I like her a lot. I hope she shows up again in the current season.
OH MY GODDDD. I'm almost done with "Measures" and I am LOSING IT. Wynn and his muscle are sitting so calmly on the hotel bed while the kid Quarles was keeping captive is trying to crawl across the floor and THIS SHOW THIS SHOW WHAT THE FUCK THIS SHOOOOOOW.
BOYD IS BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF DICKIE BENNET AND SMOTHERING HIM WITH A BAG OMFG OMFG THIS IS AMAZING AND ONLY AVA IS KEEPING BOYD AND ARLO FROM DESTROYING HIM AHHHHHH. AVA IS SUCH THE QUEEN OF HARLAN COUNTY OMFGGGG.
What with Richard Speight Jr. and Jim Beaver appearing in this season, I'm just waiting for some demons to show up, lololololol.
OMG QUARLES IS SUCH A SOCIOPATH OMG OMG OMG OMG.
Ughhhh, Boyd actually asked Ava if she was "alright with this". I just. I cannot handle these two and their perfect relationship. I CANNOT.
Oh my God. Boyd is trying to protect both Ava and Arlo. ARLO IS MORE OF A DAD TO BOYD THAN HE EVER COULD BE TO RAYLAN AND HE JUST CALLED BOYD "RAYLAN" OMFGGGG I CANNOT HANDLE THIS.
Arlo is hallucinating Helen, dear Lord... OH SHIT OH SHIIIT HE'S GOT A GUN ON AVA NOOOO.
LOLOLOLOL Dickie breaking into Loretta's house and Raylan's lounging in the chair waiting for him. GAWD THIS IDIOT. And I loooove Loretta. I wish Raylan would just adopt her. "Marshall, do I in any way strike you as a Van Halen fan?" THIS GIRL IS PERFECT. WAIT, WAIT, IF AVA AND BOYD ADOPTED HER -- THEY COULD BE THE SMARTEST, SHARPEST, WITTIEST CRIME FAMILY OF ALL TIME. OH GOD NOW I REALLY WANT THIS.
I'm legitimately sad that Trooper Bergen died. The guy was constantly talking about his kids -- in a noir, that's a surefire way to get killed. FUCKING QUARLES.
"Are we done? I've got a family member who's concerned about me." BOYD BOYD BOYYYYYD. BOYD MAKING ARLO TAKE HIS MEDS OMFG I CANNOT.
WYNN DUFFY AND THE HARLAN ROULETTE. RAYLAN IS SO NOT FUCKING AROUND ANYMORE, OMFG, THE SEASON FINALES ARE SO EPIC. "JESUS CHRIST!" <-- I KNOW, WYNN, I KNOW. I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
"There ain't nowhere for me to go. They would always know that I would come back to you." DON'T MIND ME, I'M JUST SOBBING HYSTERICALLY OVER THIS CLYDE WITH HIS BONNIE.
Lololol, Raylan's utter blase attitude as Quarles and Limehouse talk money, lololol. "HO SHIT IT'S A PIGGY BANK!"
Quarles reaching for his severed arm and Raylan just pulling it away -- OMFG OMFG I'M DYING.
OH TWIST, ARLO KILLED BERGEN? BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WAS RAYALN HE WAS SHOOTING AT? Shiiiit. And of course Arlo taking the fall for the Devil murder -- ye gods, these crazy crime families.
"He just saw a man in a hat pointing a gun at Boyd." AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. MY FEEEEEEEEELS. BURY ME WHERE I FELL.
Got another haircut, repainted my nails, and feel scads better on a very shallow level. I've been doing some "closet shopping" this past week and picking out cute outfits I've never worn, but then the extreme cold snap hit Sunday and now I'm like "FUCK BEING CUTE".
Dominic and Chris came over last night and I introduced them to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. They loved it, of course, because they have brains and great taste. Dominic and I had Monicals beforehand and he gave me a belated Jesusmas gift -- a GRUMPY CAT SHIRT. I love how well my friends know me.
...Is it the weekend yet?
