I feel like Winona's character suffers from that thing a lot of female characters suffer from when they're on a show which features a larger than life male character as the main character. By which I mean that her entire characterization has so far revolved around Raylan and how he sees her which in the first season was as the great love of his life, the one that got away, etc etc. and because of that I think the viewers put her up on this pedestal much the same way Raylan himself does. But. I think there would have to be something more to her if she married Raylan in the first place. I can't get my head around the Winona that married Gary and the Winona that married Raylan

Winona isn't the only one to suffer from this, but I feel like Ava has stepped out of this trap by now joining threads with Boyd. Raylan in a relationship is at his least interesting for me in the show, but I recognize that it is necessary to show him when he's more relaxed. Now that I've had a day to think over things and got over my initial image of Winona: I guess her recent actions show a kind of daring that she'd have to have in order to be intrigued by and captivating to someone like Raylan (which actually reminds me how similar she and Ava are). I always viewed her marriage to Gary as a response to her and Raylan

I think that's what I love about Justified too. I'm really invested in them all as people. I could care less about all of the couples (though I really did like Ava and Raylan together mostly because AVA *__*). But all the characters and their interactions with EVERYONE are so interesting

You are the second person to talk about Shameless to me, so now I'm definitely going to have to check it out.

Everything you said about Justified is everything I feel about it. Definitely want more of Rachel and Tim too.
