GRAHAM YOST: You know, I think it has a bunch of things: It has great performances by the three guys who got nominated for Critics’ Choice: Tim [Olyphant], Neal McDonough, and Jere Burns. Neal’s character [Quarles] went all over the place over the season, but there was something about that last episode [Laughs] with him asking, “Would you happen to have some Ibuprofen?” Jere Burns, the scene between Raylan [Olyphant] and Wynn Duffy [Burns] in the trailer when it looks like Raylan might shoot him — spectacular. And then Tim, all the stuff he did in the episode, and particularly that last scene between him and Winona [Natalie Zea], we were all proud of that. It was just a nice summation of this character, where he is and how deep the wounds go in his life. You feel for the guy. And then it had our crazy, crazy stuff — the big confrontation in the slaughterhouse and chopping off Quarles’ arm. It’s something that we get that little sort of teenage boyish giggle over. [Giggles] We chopped off his arm! It was fun to write and great to execute. There’s stuff that [episode director] Dean Parisot did in it that was just wonderful — Raylan balancing that salt shaker on the scene with Limehouse. I could go on about how brilliant we are. No. [Laughs] I enjoy watching most episodes, but that one I got a real kick out of.

It really was an awesome episode. It´s a shame we have to wait so long for the next season.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this show and yes that finale was great. Really hope we do get more Tim and Rachel scenes and storylines next season, it is my only complaint about the show. Everything else is perfection.
ReplyDeletebest show on tv, bar none. Finale was right up there with a few select episodes of the wire for best hour of television ever
