First I have to say, this show gets more intense week after week, of course I miss Raylan shooting the bad guy and gunning down every single person that confronted him, or Boyd sneaking his way out and putting people all over Harlan County on their place.
But that's character development, this two men are not the same, Harlan is consuming them, in a "No Country for Old Men" kinda way, the world today isn't for people like Raylan and Boyd anymore, and they know that, one of them is a father now, he's finally putting his head on it's place, thinking above the wall that is Raylan Givens, the audience may not want to see him babysitting his daughter the entire episode, but it was necessary to show us that he matters to two other people now, he needs this.
Boyd and Ava, the scene in the woods, it made me feel sorry for them, because that scene shows us that they really love together, they're tough, they're loyal to each other even after everything that's going on, they're goddamn Crowders.
And Walker, my god, Dillahunt desperately needs his own drama/action show, he is amazing, to me at least he's doing a way better job than Elliott/Steenburgen have done this season, he's done, he's lost, he's believable, and to think that a character like Choo-Choo caused all this situation shows us how awesomely well this show treats it's characters, I'd definitely like to work on something like that, with that level of direction and professionalism.
This season is what was lacking on Deadwood to be close to perfection: closure, we're getting to see these characters telling their story until the end, giving us the opportunity to enjoy this one-outback last ride.
I hope the final six keeps shocking and amusing me like this entire show has done (even though Season 5 had it's bad moments).
MVP's:
Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins).
Ava Crowder (Joelle Carter).
Ty Walker (Garret Dillahunt).
