There is something truly cowboy about wearing the hat of your vanquished foe, though.

 

Cooties?? :blink:

Nah. Wearin the hat of a loser. And in Boones's case, a total psycho. ;)

He's in Miami now. Needed a more appropriate chapeau. :D

I may have missed an episode or two, but I thought Raylan was headed for a reunion with the ex-wife. It was sad, at the end, to see the look on his face as she walked away. Friends, but nothing more.

 

The best action in this series usually involved more than two shooters engaged - the shootout in the nursery, the shootout with the Crowders and the Mexicans at the cabin, the shootout with the two Chicago hit men in the road, etc. Really got your blood going. But the very first shootout, in the restaurant in Miami, had an aura of inevitability to it, that the last one lacked. And Raylan getting hit, with the girl preventing the follow-up shot, was disappointing for me.

 

All in all, I had a sense that Raylan's cowboy days were over - out of the action, no longer invulnerable, done with Harlan County, wrong hat, settled into a semi-family life. I'll remember the series for the early episodes.

It was Ep 8 or 9. I can watch it on Charter on Demand for a few more weeks.

Well, that's how life goes mostly.

But if you recall, he was done with Harlan in the beginning of the series. Didn't want to go back there at all. But I doubt his cowboy days are over. Probably why he's divorced now.

That and his Miami gangsta hat.

;)

Almost dying, has a way of altering personalities sometimes as well.

I , too, sad to see the series come to an end ... but always the possibility of a 2-hr movie. I thot the writers lost their edge in the 4th and 5th seasons -- still very watchable -- but got their groove back for the 6th season. The plot lines in that final season had more twists and turns than a hound dog's hind leg. Suspect they filmed various endings and , in the end, decided upon the one we saw. Was I the only one that noticed that the writers really explored the dark side of Boyd Crowder in the final season? He went from a bad guy with some semi-good/robin hood leanings to an outright and despicable psycho killer. Was a bit surprised that the writers let him live.

 

And question about Sam Elliott. I was delighted to see him in the series and it was a bit odd to see him playing an out-of-character bad guy instead of his typical good-guy roles. He didn't look the same without his characteristic mustache. AND ... I was a bit disturbed about his elocution. For one that heretofore has had almost flawless diction (witness his many voice overs for commercials), it seemed to me that he slurred a bunch of his lines, many so badly that I had to rewind a few times and replay them. Has he had a stroke? Or, perhaps, just trying for an east-Kentucky accent instead of his more typical western accent?

 

Let's hope the series producers can find a writer with some of Elmore Leonard's skills and make a 2-hr movie or even a 6-part mini series. I believe a number of those characters (the ones who survived ... LOL) have some mileage left in 'em.
