I liked the fact that Art came back to save Raylan. The entire season it was Raylan gradually pushing everyone away so it was logical that Art came back full circle again. However, for me they needed to give Art another scene in there where he comes to the conclusion that he really does need Raylan. The last they showed of him was saying No (which obviosuly means hes going to save him later)
All that to say, for me the payoff worked better in theory than in actual execution. |

You know, thinking back, I'm not sure last week's episode wouldn't have worked better as a finale, and then have last night's start a new season. It might have bugged me a little less. But it would have left the main plot of the season unresolved over the break.
Well, at least we have some idea of what next season's going to bring: Boyd's now the harlan county kingpin, and Arlo's looking like his number 2 Ava's still shot (you could conceivably have her die during the break) Dickie's still alive Winona and the baby Art and Glynco Black Pike Dixie Mafia's still out there, too.

I'm surprised people generally seem a little disappointed in the finale. I loved it. Look forward to season 3.

I was disapointed in the finale just because it felt a bit too "contrived". I couldn't buy Dickie sneaking up and getting the drop on Raylin. Boyd showing up to save the day was about as far as I could buy Raylin's good luck -- but then later Art and the other marshals showed up in force to save the day (after Art had told Winona that Raylin was on his own). It was just a bit much.
I'm also not sure that I buy Mags not taking Raylin with her when she poisons herself. Or even that Raylin would sit down and have a drink with her knowing the full extent of what she and her boys had done (and after they had both just been shot, by the way). There were about 10 other little nitpicky things that bothered me and kept pulling me out of the show, but I won't bore everyone with the details. I really think that they might have had it scripted as either a 90-minute or 2-hour finale and had to cut it down to one. Then again, the episodes leading up to the finale were so well done ... maybe my expectations were just too high. |

For those who missed it, Ma Bennett got an Emmy last week. Well deserved.

As long as Raylen's bisected it should be okay. He could land half of it with his left hand and half with his right.
