Just watched the latest season of Justified

I don't know if I have anything spoilery to say- I don't know if any of y'all watch it to care anyway- but I have to ask into the universe: was it strictly necessary for Boyd and Tim to flirt so much?  I mean, the popular theory that Tim is written as gay tends to color his interractions with other men in my mind even if I'm not sure I believe that he is, in fact, written as gay, and Boyd could seem like he was hitting on a stone if he put his mind to it, but their scenes together in this season were... really very suggestive.

Okay, no, I lied.  I have something spoilery to say:

Wow, that ending was awesome.  While I'm sad to think of Boyd being the next big bad (although frankly the promos for the new season make it look like it's actually Ava we have to worry about), I loved the parallels of the last moments with Boyd and Raylan.  Both of them were getting out.  Both of them were going to make a change and maybe get off the collision course they've been on ever since this thing started.  But then they both get sucked in by the one thing they can't resist.  I loved Raylan's, "Why didn't you just say so?"  I almost wished Boyd would say the same thing, but then it turned out he didn't need to- it was written all over his face.  It's those two characters- and those two actors- I come to this party for.


It was a good season all around.  As per usual, I get to wait exactly forever to watch the next season.
