Justified, Season 6, Episode 6: “Alive Day”
Written by Benjamin Cavell and Jennifer Kennedy
Directed by Peter Werner
Airs Tuesdays at 10pm Et on FX
“Wonderful things can happen when you sow seeds of distrust in a garden of assholes.”
- Raylan Givens, via something he read
“Alive Day” revisits one of Justified’s core themes, as borrowed from Elmore Leonard: by and large, criminals are not that bright. Even the brighter ones – like Avery Markham and Boyd Crowder, for instance – tend to have Achilles’ heels, often in the form of plain old hubris. To its benefit, “Alive Day” finds a novel pivot point for this theme that is somewhat unlike anything the series has attempted before. That slight shift in perspective is represented by a somewhat unlikely figure: Mundo, a.k.a. Choo-Choo, as played by Duke Davis Roberts.
More broadly speaking, “Alive Day” does more than any episode...
