5.12 - As mentioned in the previous recap, Ryalan's use of "whence" is superb. His use of "felled" in this episode - "felled by your own hand," no less - is just wonderful. Sometimes you gotta wonder why Rachel and Tim don't just bust our with popcorn to watch the Harlan boys go at it.

Look, Dewey just needs a sad trombone with him at all times.

Towing Duffy's RV is a stroke of genius. It's also hilarious just how fed up he is with everything. Sometimes you have to wonder why he just doesn't leave Kentucky for a less stressful, less ridiculous place.

I just do not care at all about Ava's prison adventures. So much time is devoted to it, but what does it accomplish or add to the overall story arc? Is it just to show that she can be tough? Maybe they are using it to put cracks in her relationship with Boyd, but it seems like should be less complicated ways to do that, what with the whole Crowe and Mexican cartel stuff. All this does is show me that she's actually a good match for Boyd.

More Crowe bullshit. It sucks having to slog through their parts to get the good bits of show that exist around them.

5.13 - Really, I'm surprised Jimmy survived this long.

It is not OK for Tim to get hurt. Yet one more thing that Daryl needs to pay for, the rat fucker.
Still, the episode makes up for this blunder by giving us the excellent scene where Rachel and Tim go after the cartel and Tim gets to be a smart ass in 2 languages. And we get Boyd's trick shot, which he is rightly proud of.

Why does Wendy put up with Daryl's crap? She clearly knows better! I suppose you could argue that it's a lifetime habit of surviving an abusive family relationship but it's just overkill. I suppose it was to build up the moment where she shoots him - which is just enough kill - but it feels like they just laid it on too thick to get her to that point. And, I mean, in that family, do you really have to be pushed that hard before you shoot?

They do an OK job of setting up the next season, but Ava's turning doesn't really feel, well, justified.
