I'm going to have to wait for the DVDs to watch this series since I don't have FX, but wanted to mention that the pilot is on iTunes as a free download.

The Raylan and Dewey scenes are great.
I read an interview with Goggins where he said originally turned the part down and that Boyd was originally supposed to die last week but the test audiences were intrigued by the character so they rewrote it with him living.

The acting of everyone thus far on the show has really been great. Everybody is nailing the laid back southern thing. I love how nonchalant everything was this episode.

The thing that sucks is that FX no longer licenses full episodes of their shows online on their official site or Hulu anymore.

I love the sense of humor the series has. The escaped convict was an instantly memorable character and along with the rest of the cast, made the formulaic story seem like something special.
I'm assuming there will be a backbone plot thread once things pick up steam though, because if every week is going to be a "crime of the week" I could see people getting tired with it really quick.

Pretty good episode although I liked the pilot a little more. Not really a complaint...the pilot was more intense, this one was more fun.

I heard a tv critic on Bill Simmons' podcast (who's name escapes me) who said the show will be episodic and not heavily serialized. He had seen the first 4 episodes but I don't know if he based his opinion just on those episodes.

That's what I expected anyhow when his boss mentioned all the different things they do. I'm not really sure how you could do a heavily serialized show about a lone U.S. Marshall anyhow. I'm sure they will be some recurring villains/characters though.
