The Butterfly Effect: The Metamorphosis of Boyd Crowder on JUSTIFIED
For those who have been watching FX’s electrifying series JUSTIFIED, the transformation of bad-boy Boyd Crowder over the past season and a half has been riveting. Played by the equally fascinating Walton Goggins, the dichotomy of such a strong actor immersed in such a complex, yet compelling character has enthralled viewers. Essentially, the show has grasped a rattlesnake by the tail and is allowing us to see how it plays out.
Make no bones about it, any way you look at it, Boyd Crowder is a cold-blooded killer. When we were first introduced to Boyd in the pilot episode, he blew up a church and ended up shot after squaring off with U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. Boyd and Raylan, having grown up together, are like opposite sides to the same coin — best friends who chose different sides of the law and yet whose fates are inexplicably tied together. Throughout the first season, it became less clear whether Raylan or Boyd were really all that different; particularly as they both believed fervently that their viewpoint was the right one and would do anything to back it up. Raylan just happens to have the law on his side having the protection of the U.S. Marshal service to back him up.
So as Raylan continues to walk the path of righteous justice, behind the power of the badge, Boyd has embarked on a thornier and murkier path.

Elizabeth Mitchell Peels Back the Mystery Surrounding Tonight’s V Finale
On tonight’s second season finale of V, the Fifth Column will have a solid sixty minutes to fight for our planet’s future. And while forty-four minutes (subtracting for commercials!) of screen time wouldn’t normally seem like enough time for a ragtag group of freedom fighters to stave off whatever nefarious plan a royally peeved Queen “B” Anna has up her sleeve, Erica Evans is no normal freedom fighter. How’s she going to do it, what unexpected obstacles arise and of course is this the end of the line for V? We caught up with the always awesome Elizabeth Mitchell to find out.
Are you really up for saving the world in less than hour?
Elizabeth Mitchell: It’s going to be tough. Luckily there is a lot in that hour, we do get a lot accomplished! But I definitely think we need a third season to completely and completely save the earth in the fashion in which it deserves.
