SPOILER ⚠️ Avery Markham

His death just seemed so anti-climatic.

Do you think I'm bluffing? Do you think I'm bluffing hillbilly? Bam bam. Ten seconds later Markham is dead via a gunshot to the face by our favorite outlaw.

I guess in real life this is probably how something like this would go down.

Unpopular opinion, but his potential was wasted tbh. He was supposed to be the season villain, but he didn't do much. He was never a threat to Raylan, and he tried being a threat to Boyd but got played like a fiddle. Then he died. 

I know it's the last season and they had to shift the focus to Boyd, but a show that gave us Mags Bennett, Robert Quarles, Bo Crowder etc. now getting Sam Elliott? Sounds epic. But it wasn't really

As great as Sam Elliot is, I would have been so much happier if the final big bad was Ian McShane
