Boyd Crowder is one of the all time best bad guys. The writing along with Goggins perfect application of said writing. Were absolutely mesmerizing and worth every minute spent watching it.
The line about Boyd from Mr. Augustine (who's supposed to not be from around those parts, as he's "from Detroit") is actually an Appalachian colloquialism. My mama's family had a similar version: "You're using 50 words when five will suffice. " I've heard it once or twice.
@@ReelClues Absolutely. Goggins created this amalgam of Tony Soprano-meets-Doc Holiday that you just don't see on television. I was born in Richmond, Kentucky and raised in Central Virginia. All my life, I have despised the stereotype of Appalachians being mouth-breathing illiterates. It was nothing short of inspiring to see that trope being defied.
Boyd Crowder stands out a lot of times in the show. I love how complex he is, and Walton Goggins's performance is absolutely excellent. I really enjoyed this video you made on his character analysis
The fact that they were close friends in true life bleeds through every layer that the story uses to separate and isolate both characters. Circumstance seems to have dictated the course of their lives far more than morality and the last scene sums it up completely. “We dug coal together” breaks my heart every time. I need to call my best bud.
The Raylan/Boyd dynamic is so interesting. They hate each other because they’re on opposite sides of the law, but respect each other because they are the only ones who understand each other
I suppose if I allow myself to be sentimental despite all that has occurred, there is one thing I wonder back to…..we dug coal together..best ending to a series 👌🏾..rewatching it’s for like the 10th time
Boyd Crowder is in my opinion the best silver tongue villain to ever grace the silver screen. I say villain for the lack of a better word because he is so much more than that, it's hard not to cheer for the guy as you watch him struggle throughout the series.
The character of Raylan Givens is like a modern western gunslinger. Seems like we are returning to a time when EVERYONE had to wear a gun for protection. That said, the dialogue in this series is some of the best written. The relationship between Raylan and Boyd is complicated because they were at one time like brothers. Like real brothers sometimes you want to kill them but you can't because you love them.
By the slight chance anyone now and in the future reading this are still on the fence on how great an actor Goggins is look no further than just a six episode arch of another fine series Sons of Anarchy, I’ll leave it at that.
Boyd Crowder---------good gawd damn, but i do love this guy ! Hands-down, the very best Antagonist to the protagonist, in TV history. And, that ending -------had me all choked up. One of the very best ever, in a multi-year series. Great writing, & acting ! -----MJL< 77 y/o
@@ReelClues If you loved Boyd, you'll love/hate Shane even more! Michael Chiklis is awesome as Vic Mackey and CCH Pounder is greatness as Vic's nemesis on the squad.
Goggins was born to play Boyd crowder. Season one of justified primeval was ok but seeing Boyd break out of prison in the finale made me wishing for a season two.
I really struggled getting through the first season of City Primeval. Didn't seem like Justified at all! BUT if they bring back Boyd for Season 2 maybe we'll get back to kentucky and out of the "big city"!
By the way, if it's THE best truly bad guy -----------a real villain on " Justified " ? Look no further than the wonderful Neal McDonough , as Bobby Quarrels ! Now, THAT's a bad guy ! --------------MJL< 77 y/o
I always felt they didn't do Boyd justice in the last season bc it was so unlike his character to have killed the guy who's pickup he stole. Obviously the guy wasn't going to go out of his way to turn Boyd in so I don't think Boyd would have shot the guy. Maybe tied him up. Recall he did have handcuffs available. In this video they claim he became dark but at the very end IMHO it is classic Boyd once again claiming for the devil to get behind him ... thus he didn't become dark, the writers stubbed their toes. Anyways I loved the show but as much as I liked Raylon I could not help but always hope things would work out for Boyd. :)
I think the writers changed Boyd for the same reason the Sopranos writers changed Tony towards the end of that show. The character had gotten TOO sympathetic to the audience and there needed to be a reminder that we're talking about a ruthless murderer.
OK I see what you're saying. It's easy to forget sometimes that Boyd Crowder isn't a real person. He was incredible as the biggest antagonist of the series and Goggins did a superb acting job.
@@ReelClues The mark of a truly great actor is that you do forget that the character isn't a real person. I'm just offering a helping hand with the terminology when talking about acting. Friendly criticism (which is the best type, in my experience.)

Absolutely agree!

And Boyd Crowder is THE example of that saying. Loved listening to him opine!

thanks! He was my favorite!
The "I am the outlaw" speech is sublime.
Boyd at his absolute peak.
Although verbose at times I absolutely LOVED listening to Boyd Crowder!

It was the perfect ending for the series!

Absolutely true!
It even goes deeper than that due to their past has fellow coal miners. There's a kinship there. Two sides of the same coin.

Agree 100% - an episode without Boyd Crowder would be dull ...

Well said Tona - brothers that are constantly pissing one another off!

Another fantastic series - Goggins is very talented!
Great show!
My favorite!
A lot of potential on TH-cam for essays about tv characters like Boyd that haven’t gotten as much attention
Thanks - one of our plans for 2023 is a deeper dive into some of the more interesting characters on our favorite series!

the best ending to a tv series ever!
Great TV bring it back ❤
I still haven't watched City Primeval - I can't imagine a Justified TV show without Kentucky ...
"We dug coal together." 😢
Justified and The Shield are my two favorite series of all time.
Some Shield reviews would be Greatness!
Ok you talked me into actually watching it!
@@ReelClues If you loved Boyd, you'll love/hate Shane even more!
Michael Chiklis is awesome as Vic Mackey and CCH Pounder is greatness as Vic's nemesis on the squad.
The narrator kills this dead.
Can't disagree with you here - the first two videos were not top-notch. Checkout out our DO YOU KNOW ME NOW video - I think it's much better!
If you haven't seen the new season of Justified City Primeval, there's a HUUUUUGE surprise at the very end of the last episode!
I heard! Might be worth watching it now!
Absolutely love justified love all the characters but tim is my very favorite ❤
Olyphant is terrific (also really good in Deadwood) - can't wait to see City Primeval!

Crazy-eyed psychopath - he played the part to perfection!
that was one cool Bronco.
Love those old Broncos!
And The Shield has Walton Goggins.
The last 2 seasons are really dark and hard to watch. Vic and Shane are a tough duo.
A series I have yet to watch!

“We dug coal together…”
Great line!
Boyd and Raylan are like Cocaine and Waffles
SUCH a good movie! Might just be time for another viewing of Ricky Boobie!
Please learn how to pronounce Tim Olyphant's name! Tim says it's pronounced, "alla-funt".
I actually tried to pronounce it the way he introduces himself here. Ollyphunt.

Timothy Oliphant is the star, Raylon Givens is the protagonist.
Although it sometimes felt like The Boyd Crowder Show to me
@@ReelClues Walton Goggins is the star, Boyd Crowder is the antagonist.
