Season 2, Episode 2: “The Life Inside”
A pregnant woman in the first act is as bad as a loaded gun, and so too is Justified’s parent structure, that of a serial-procedural. You may have forgotten but the fact is that every so often, Raylan will have to deal in a case that has nothing overtly to do with the season’s story, whatever that may be, I have not forgotten that it is only episode two of season two and so what do I know about the big bad, yet. But I trust the show and so the life inside this episode is what it might mean once the episode is over, once the inmate has her baby and the prison guard is arrested. What we might learn from their mistakes. And so.
This is one of my favorite recaps of one of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite shows. And not only is Justified one of my favorite shows, it’s also one of my favorite albums and one of my favorite ways to have text be arranged on a page. I don’t believe in coincidences.
