well, all of my points have been covered by the posters above me.
I dunno about The Crowes, man. I was thinking about the shyt last night...
They could have just moved to Harlan, taken over Dewey's bar. Hatian could have got some kind of foot hold in Noble's Holler, Kendal could have met Loretta at some point, Wendy could have been working the legal angles in the same building as the Marshals. They could still be muscle for Boyd, and actually been his equal/better, considering their family dynamic.
BUT NOOOO.
I also like Wendy. She has that... worn down look like... she reminds me of this hooker I used to know. Smart as shyt, almost airheadedly bubbly, but playing the hand she was dealt and had been around the block a few times. And got a meeean bounce in her walk.
Yeah, and you see she approached Raylan with a solid plan that almost worked: Be a damsel in distress.
I wish I could be Caller Number 7.
Edit: also note how easily Raylan took that "Caller Number 7" info and put it to use. His morals are slipping.
