I love the series top to bottom but I’m torn about ending up with Winona.

In some ways it would have been the better ending. In some ways I’m glad they didn’t.


My take is she was always expecting him to change for her. Raylan is Raylan. He wasn't going to stop being a Marshall. It'd have been disingenuous to portray him doing that I think.

Yeah it would’ve been a bit too clean to just have him living the family life after what we’ve seen.

It’s like if Mad Men would’ve ended with Don back with Betty and the kids watching TV as a happy family together. Doesn’t really make sense for the character

I think it’s a little weird that they threw them together at the end just to show them not together later, but them not ending together made sense.

See, that's the thing though. She flat our TELLS him that she has come to terms with it and that having to choose between a life without him and being able to sleep at night, and a life with him and being worried at night, she's choose the sleepless nights (my best recollection of the quote).

It's almost like the writers were planning to have them end up together when they wrote that, then later decided to go with a "less than storybook happy ending".

I would have been more able to believe the outcome if not for the line I quoted above. That may have been one of the last scenes she's in before the last episode.

The twist needed more explanation in my opinion.
