Boyd Crowder didn't seem to have more than a suspicion (and it doesn't seem he was interested in telling Raylan everything he knew). It seemed significant that Winona saw Eva telling a suspicious story and then going off with the Sheriff, so maybe there was a conversation there. (I don't feel like the show has to spell out every little detail, but I think there's been a problem with Raylan making the jumps in the past.)<br /><br />I didn't mind the close-ups on the actors in the prison scenes, but I didn't understand all the close-ups on the Bible. I half expected Boyd to pull a weapon or something out of the spine as much as they were showing it. (As it was, it pulled the attention a little too far from the actors to the director for me.)alex s.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-83622835841345708492010-04-29T10:52:04.624-04:002010-04-29T10:52:04.624-04:00Bowman Crowder.Bowman Crowder.Alan Sepinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388147774725646742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-59485937934155811332010-04-29T10:44:13.192-04:002010-04-29T10:44:13.192-04:00Crowder family tree question....

But that scene...when Raylan just snaps and comes over the table and tries to choke Boyd...reactions to Boyd but also that he can't truly protect Ava...and he is frustrated. Again Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins are just so mesmerizing in any scenes they do. I think Boyd has ulterior motives but at moments I think maybe not.
