Justified: Season 5, Episode 3 “Good Intentions” (B+)
There’s something about not knowing who the bad guys are that makes the drama on this show all the more appealing. The best character in this episode, a difficult determination, was Amy Smart’s Allison. It seemed obvious that the man who threatened Raylan with a baseball bat wasn’t sent there by Monroe, but I love the fact that it didn’t even occur to Raylan that Allison could have been the one who sent him. That she didn’t bother to deny it and kept him thinking after it happened was completely awesome, and I think she’s the perfect match for Raylan, far more interesting than Winona ever was and much more dangerous too. Monroe is doing plenty of interesting things on the outside, namely nearly strangling his maid, who Raylan got to help him frame Wynn for a big theft in a way that will help to draw him out. Anything that means more of Xander Berkeley on this show is fine by me. Boyd is doing a great job of moving the pieces on his chess board and making sure that things are looking his way, and eliciting the identity of his new number one enemy was quite resourceful. Johnny has always been a great complicated character on this show, and I’m eager for his return. Dewey’s visit to Boyd to demand money back from him did not go as planned, and it’s obvious that having Daryl around is going to spell a whole lot of trouble for him that definitely won’t result in Dewey seeing a big payday.
