So we needed to have Raylan have to make that choice. I think it would have been a bummer. That was part of it, too. We wanted the show to be entertaining for six years.

We felt this was the right way. It was interesting, too, at the very end, that lovely exchange with Boyd in prison, to focus on their bond rather than their antagonism.

Again, part of the thing we wanted to do was bring the whole series full circle. No matter what was going on between them at the present, there was a history. You sort of had another big showdown with Raylan and Boon, which was very classically done, with a gunfight in the street. Was there any different outcome that was like a really close runner-up? We wanted someone who was a young gun, like Raylan of 20 years ago, and have him go up against himself of the past. And then we just lucked out with the location and lucked out with having Adam Arkin directing it.

The way he staged it was just awesome. And Jonathan Tucker, man, he was just a welcome addition to the whole run. There was one point where we thought in the third-to-last episode, that when Boyd gets out of the hospital, we talked about him killing Gutterson at the hospital.

But two things swayed us from that. He was our technical advisor. He loves him. Sometimes I think more than probably Raylan loves him, or Raylan would ever admit. I would imagine he slept for the first two years and then finally kind of came out of this dark, morose hole and only to really be able to look at what he did, and to atone for it. But I thought it was really gratifying to see it come full circle and end on a scene like that after so many seasons of the two of them ending a year on different sides of the spectrum.

Yeah, it was a very, very small needle to thread, and I was so grateful that Graham decided to keep Boyd alive to have that scene. I think I can speak for Tim and fans of the show when I say this that the scenes between these two men, between Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder and the actors playing them mind you, were so rich and they were so nuanced and they were so many things over these years that to have it end with a six-page conversation, maybe it was always supposed to be that.

Obviously you spent a lot of your time over the course of the last six seasons with the two of them, Tim and Joelle [Carter]. Jeremy [Davies], you know, Dickie Bennett? Neil McDonough, who played Quarles. That was so, so much fun. I enjoyed obviously Mags Bennett Margo Martindale so much. I enjoyed Sam [Ellliott] from the season. I am sad, yeah. But I felt like it was time to go, that we had left no stone unturned in his evolution as a fictional character from the imagination of Elmore Leonard.

Insert drama here. Well, never say never. Just not tomorrow.
