"Burned" - Justified - 6-09

Things that got burned:
  • Ava as an informant
  • Wynn Duffy as a long ago rate
  • Avery's pizza kitchen
  • Zachariah's element of surprise
Other observations
  • The number of people getting killed in these hotel rooms is getting out of control.
  • Best use of a rock hammer since Shawshank
  • Unsure why Zachariah had to throw that other guy down the shaft to get his shot at Boyd
The Party
In television, if a party is being thrown, it has the the benefit of bringing together a bunch of characters who normally wouldn't be in the same place.  In this case we have Markum's pizza party.  RSVP-ing yes to this we have Raylan, Markkum, Katherine, Loretta, Boyd, Ava and Boon.  We've seen smaller groups of this cast but never together.

Boon brings to mind The Gunfighter from early Season Three who fought with an ice pick until Raylann hilariously defeated him.

Anyways, it seemed like there would be a big event at the party as the second act of the season draws to a close.  Something that sets things in motion for the series' final four episodes. 

It may have been as simple as the Boyd-Loretta alliance.  When Loretta got up to speak, ending with approval from her fellow Harlanians (?) one had to think of Mags standing up to the coal company in Season Two.  She made a dramatic speech to Rebecca Creskoff's character, only to take the money herself later on. 

Something tells me Loretta would stay more true to the "Keep Harlan Weird" mantra that she spouted.
