Okay, I've finally watched ep. 3. I don't know what car jacking you refer to; do you mean the car chase, bashing, shooting? I think he had no idea who he was tangling with and got lucky that it was the judge. Which is a pretty big "coincidence." It's stuff like this that would fit in my "not working" category. And I can't speak for other women, but I see nothing unbelievable about Raylan triggering sexual response in the ladies on the show.

Regarding Willa, I think she's not coming back. Or if she does, it'll be a quick thing, like an epilogue where he takes her to Nashville. She was pretty distracting and I'm glad he sent her home. I can turn the subtitles off again. I could barely understand anything she said. I get wanting to work with your daughter, but this was one decision that didn't work at all for me. Cool retro rock t-shirts though.

I am confused by the Del Weems' stuff too. I had forgotten that until you mentioned it. It would be strange if it never amounted to anything, so I think he'll return as a "mention" if he's not going to be an actual character.

So it’s unclear what motivated Mansell to follow the judge. I thought the judge ticked him off so he was going to have a little “fun” terrorizing him which could have been the start of it. Then as Mansell continued the pursuit, I thought perhaps the end game was to steal the car. I don’t buy the current theory de jour where he was paid by someone to kill the judge to steal the book.’ I think finding the judge’s book was a “well lookee here” moment which is categorically stupid. And yeah after episode 5, and a shirtless on air capture, I’m getting the Raylan appeal.
