2.10 - Great stuff with Art in this episode, but overall too little time spent with the marshals. The show is always improved by more marshals!
And continuing with the frustrating characterization of Winona. I just fail to see what's compelling about that relationship other than nostalgia and good sex?

Any scene with Raylan and Loretta is worth watching. So at least there's that counterbalance. And Mags is starting to unravel a bit here. Her practical side is giving way to personal concerns. She's known all along that Coover was a liability and yet she's going to set things on fire anyway. I think that we get to see that Mags understands how badly this could go and yet she can't not seek revenge.

I fully admit that I am on board with Ava/Boyd.

2.11 - See, this gets to the part where they lucked out with Jeremy Davies. Because he suddenly manages to become very scary. Still not the brightest bulb, but one who has nothing to lose at this point, and Davies is just terrific. And the episode ending!

More Tim = happy me.

Gary is such an idiot. Such. An. Idiot. I kinda wish he had been killed coz he just makes a mess wherever he goes.

I hated Winona so much -- by the end of the season I fast forwarded through any scene she was in after 30 seconds.

My husband and I called her Whine-onna, because all she did was whine on about this, that, or the other.

*nods* I spent a lot of time just shaking my head any time she was on screen.
