I liked the Marshall cavalry coming in. When Doyle went down, my first thought was that it must've been one of Boyd's crew, but then I realized none of them were that good, so it had to be Tim.

Wait, I thought the guy who shot Doyle was the guy from Doyle's department who Boyd earlier talked to and gave money to with the idea being that this guy would be in place to be the sheriff afterwards? Didn't the shot come from behind? Did I miss something?

If the shot came from behind the hole in the front would have been an opening. It was a front shot.
 
I don't think they were set up beforehand. Remember the episode with the pregnant girl who was being held hostage after her jailbreak? Tim doesn't necessarily have to be lying in wait to be a crack shot. That's probably also backed up by the fact that the Marshals didn't move until well after the Bennet posse had opened fire on Raylan, at the last possible second before Doyle executed him. Though I think we'll have to credit how the lot of them could get right on top of them without anyone hearing their cars or them crashing through the woods to TV magic.
Nah, Tim was already there and set up. He made his shot before everyone else pulled up in their cars, sirens blazing (but only after they were already there apparently since there was no warning before they all came out of the woodwork).

Unless we're supposed to believe he was hanging out the car window Dukes of Hazzard style, took aim, and made a perfect kill shot faster than the speed of the sirens and vehicles.
 
I would guess that he dismounted and pulled into a position during the Bennett's mad minute. It would take a lot, even from a Ranger sniper, to hold fire while a brother Marshal was taking fire
 
How did he even know Raylan was in immediate danger? Sure, there was a firefight and Doyle pointed a gun directly at him, but there's lots of firing and gun-pointing going on on Justified that doesn't result in anyone getting killed and Doyle was a police officer...

The day before he treatened Deputy Givens as he was interviewing Mags. And the State Police were also on the way to the rescue. Harlan County was seen as bad before Doyle aimed on Raylan.
 
Was there ever a doubt? I thought the ratings for this were pretty solid.

I really enjoy this show; I think Mama Bennett was one the best villains on TV in quite some time. I could do without Rayland's ex, though. I liked it better when they hated each other.
 
okay season 3 starts up this January. saw a commerical for it during sons of anarchy;
 
it'll most likely be right after season 1. all so you may want to try amazon instant video for the entire series with out commericals.
 
I can zap the ads, so that's not a problem. I'll keep checking - it would make sense for FX to do a marathon rerun before S3 starts up.
 
Ok, I spotted S2 reruns starting up on 12/15. At 2am, so it's definitely DVR fodder. :rommie: They're probably running the season each week in groups of three episodes till the S3 premiere.
 
Okay I finally got thru S2, great season!

Anyone else get the impression that Mags might have planned to commit suicide before the events of the finale? In retrospect, the way she was setting everything in order seemed to be the actions of a person who is planning to end their life.

She talked about getting Doyle and his family to safety, but not about joining them and enjoying spending time with her grandkids. With a big pile of money, why not plan for that kind of retirement? All I can think of is, she isn't the kind of person who would be happy no longer running a criminal enterprise and having power. And all the way back in the scene where she murdered Loretta's father, her dialogue showed that death didn't scare her.

I just don't see the notion that only Dickie of her sons survived as the kind of thing that would precipitate suicide. Why not instead stay alive and make sure Doyle's family is secure? Doyle's death should give her a motive to live, not to die.

Going into S3 next week, I expect more direct confrontation between Raylan and Boyd. They've just been dancing around the edges of that storyline so far. Time to dig into it!
