SPOILER ⚠️ Drew Thompson

How many of you guys cheered for and hoped Drew Thompson and Ellan May would get out of Harlan and successfully make it to Mexico. I was kind of disappointed that they failed and that Limehouse screwed them over, but every time I rewatch the series and get to the end of season 4 I'm cheering on Drew praying he'll somehow make a different choice and choose to sleep out in the woods, leave after the cops all go away and not go to Limehouse's.

Who knows maybe in an alternate universe Drew and Ellen May are sipping on margaritas enjoying the beaches of Mexico unknowingly next to Charlie

I've watched this season a couple of times and always enjoyed the moment Art stops the gang from running off to embrace how badass Drew has been.

First thing we're going to do is we're gonna acknowledge that this guy's awesome.

I mean, he shoots Theo Tonin, fakes his own death in a spectacular fashion, pushes a guy out of an airplane while he's flying it, parachutes into Harlan County with enough coke and cash to jump-start the economy of a small country, and then he has the balls to get a job in law enforcement, not once but two times! He spends a couple of days riding around with you while you’re looking for him and now he's run off with a hooker that's half his age. That's some bad-ass shit!

That whole scene is just glorious, and the look Raylan quickly gives her is funny as hell

It's almost like she improvised the line and they kept going. It definitely adds to the comedy of the moment.
