4.01 - This season opener seemed to be making an effort to be a little less grim. Which makes sense, since last season was pretty heavy. Of course, the humor was still pitch black, tho there was a lot of it!

Raylan shooting the air bag instead of the fugitive was genius! It's the kind of cleverness that you wish a lot of other shows could come up with.

This episode introduces us to Constable Bob! It's funny to go back and see what I initially thought was just going to be a quick guest star role and think about the part Bob plays later on.

And Colt! Wow, I loved Colt as a character. So charming yet terrifying. (What is Ron Eldard up to these days, I wonder...)

That last scene with Arlo is reminiscent of his actions at the end of last season. We've known he was a cold-hearted bastard, but this is pretty hard core. Was he always this bad or is his mental condition making him more extreme? If he was always this way, holy shit, it's a wonder Raylan isn't a serial killer.
