My goodness, that was a good one. A whole bunch of 'I did not see that coming' in there.

And there is not much better television than when Raylan draws on someone. So. Damn. Satisfying.

talking about the past the way he did as foreshadowing/a hint? Makes sense. It's getting a little late in the season to keep introducing characters and it's just gotta be some sort of twist

And note how he used the Marshal's trust in him to find out where the widow was so he could go visit her at the end of the episode.

Although all Art said was she was at a motel with a security detail... It just struck me as odd. That and Ellen May asking if she'll ever become respectable, and Shelby says something like "if you put on the costume long enough you'll become it" -- maybe what he did, going from outlaw to security guard at the mine to finally sheriff.

Edit:
Oh, and they made a point about the Detroit hitman not knowing Shelby. Perhaps to just make it clear he didn't encounter him, snap his picture. Since he was wearing the uniform it'd be easy to think that otherwise -- and they further reinforced it by saying he probably stole it from the dry cleaner. I'm still trying to puzzle out if Ellen May is his daughter -- I don't think so, and it seems almost too easy for this show, and it doesn't quite add up. But there's something more there, I think.

Watch me be wrong, and REALLY wrong about it now, haha. I need to go back and watch from the beginning of the season as well, I didn't really get the strong vibes until this episode, but I bet there are earlier hints (that is, if I'm right).

Just got around to reading the reviews
and, yep, I'm almost certain. Someone pointed out that in an earlier episode Shelby mentioned 25 - 30 years ago he hurt his legs in a car accident -- remember that story about how he shot a criminal that was driving a car and the car hit him?

I agree, they're definitely hinting heavily at that. Kind of hope they subvert expectations on that, since it does seem a bit heavy handed.

That said, awesome episode. I figured Arlo would die at some point in the season after Raylan's line last week, but didn't think it'd be this soon. The scene with him and Hunter was nuts. GET SOME, YEAH! And two shootouts in as many weeks! Seems clear that Colton and Tim are going to have some kind of showdown down the line so that should be good. Also nice to see Boyd end up on top
even though it clearly won't last :p

Looking forward to seeing how the Wynn Duffy-Boyd relationship progresses, since clearly some fireworks are in store. And damn, Arlo was an asshole to the end. Wouldn't have it any other way. Tim Olyphant did a good job in that scene where he was getting choked up while waiting for the elevator too.

Another thing, Shelby had that St. Christopher necklace, patron saint of, among other things, pilots. Seemed a bit random to have for no reason, but maybe it's a bit of a stretch? Just made a note of that during this repeat.

Really? I'm enjoying it far more than season 3 at this point. I like the more episodic feel of the season compared to the dreadful structure of season 3. It was really smart for them to focus on a mystery instead of doing another season long villain, ala Mags, or several season long villains like Quarles and Limehouse.

I'll say that this season has had fantastic dialogue and really appreciate how it's giving secondary characters like Shelby the limelight. By no means do I dislike this season - I just happen to prefer the "big season-long villain" structure of the previous seasons, though I understand why some might prefer S4's more episodic nature.

All things said, tonight's episode was excellent, though it cut short a few story threads that I wish were expanded upon.

Boyd, you sly fox. You played everyone and got the 2 dead bodies you needed.

And Raylan, quick drawing SOB. 2 weeks, two glorious kills. "I hope I got that right."

A+ episode

Holy shit Arlo is really dead?! WOW and his final words to Raylan were "Kiss my ass". Asshole to the very end. I'm shocked that he was killed though, and in such an unceremonious fashion. Like, I think it should have felt a little "bigger" than it did; as it stands it kinda felt like business as usual.

Pointed out in the AV Club comments: Raylan's prophecy at the end of the previous episode came true. And he has to live with it.

Also, re: the spoiler tag stuff.
Yup, totally him, but this episode seemed designed to let the audience in on the game.

Blimey, the bodycount for this episode was just wack, talk about over kill.
Also Raylan at the eleveator and how sad he was, like if he was just a small child :(

Holy shit. This episode had an amazing bodycount and some badass scenes. Loved Boyd teaching these older fellas a lesson :p

Yeah, I just missed a word in the text I added. I think the gif delivers a bit more when you know what they're saying.

And as long as you're under 15MB you should be fine ;)

Btw, I'm wondering where they're taking the Johnny vs. Colt story line. It looks like Johnny blackmailed him for money and now what...
