J-BAR #18287 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 There is something truly cowboy about wearing the hat of your vanquished foe, though. Cooties??
Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 There is something truly cowboy about wearing the hat of your vanquished foe, though. Nah. Wearin the hat of a loser. And in Boones's case, a total psycho.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Boon went the way I expected him to except that I thought he would face of with Boyd, draw, shoot, and find himself shot, perhaps by Ada. With Boyd doing time, there is room for him escape into another season or a miniseries.
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 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. LL

LL 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.
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Might be that crease in his scalp resulted in a MTBI that could account for a personality change. He sure seemed like a different person 4 years later

Dirty Redd Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Tidbit , did anybody notice Boyd junior's shirt , it was buttoned all the way to the top hole , remind you of anybody?
Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 I bet Raylan's going to get into CAS down in Florida!
J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Almost dying, has a way of altering personalities sometimes as well. I almost died in 2000, I can assure you that your statement is correct. (Of course I also probably had a MTBI at the time)
Elk Creek LeMieux Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Never know what you're gonna get after a TBI.

Fort Reno Kid Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 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.
