Date: 2019-09-25 08:27 pm (UTC)There's a little moment of acting in this that I just love--normally, shows never want to have even a second of air in them, and people react quickly to things that in real life, they wouldn't. Voice mail greetings are short and responses instantaneous, people don't pause when they're collecting thoughts, etc. And I love that when Art turns the screen around to Raylan to show him who the dentist is, Raylan just looks at it for a full beat, letting it run through his head, before he says "Rollie Pike" in recognition. That was just brilliant, and I <3 Timothy Olyphant so much.

He is so in command in that scene, being all conversational and friendly, but swinging that bat around like it's an extension of his arm. Love the colloquial "tummies" instead of bellies or something more traditionally macho.

Date: 2019-09-30 03:32 am (UTC)I am totally squeamish about dentists and tooth pulling and could have done without that whole scene at the start of the episode with Rollie pulling that a-hole's teeth. on the other hand, he was an a-hole.
Agree 1000% about the metaphor of the hat and how it shows not only how Raylan and Rachel are, but who they are to each other.
I find this episode a little sad, though -- what with Rollie just wanting to be a good dentist.
