Trivia

In an early draft, Graham Yost had planned to kill off Dewey Crowe (Damon Herriman), but he quickly ditched that idea after both the studio and the network objected to losing such a great character.

Goofs

Dewey says the deputized deputies at the O.K. Corral died and Raylan says they died heroes. In actuality, none of the deputies at the O.K. Corral died in the shootout, although all were wounded except for Wyatt Earp. Morgan Earp was later assassinated years later by friends and relatives of their opponents at the O.K. Corral.

User Reviews

The season's stakes are established with tension and humor

Not as good as the stellar run that precedes it, 'Veterans' focuses almost entirely on the Crowder/Givens friction in Harlan. Raylan uses everything he can find to get at Boyd, including deputizing Dewey for information (whose almost sweet stupidity is always entertaining). Bo sets to getting his operation back up and running after his time in prison as well as squaring things with Arlo, who nearly drove the protection racket into the ground in his absence. A highlight is Arlo and Bo, griping about their respective sons and all the trouble they've caused.

Boyd, for his part, is till doing the church camp thing, while gunning up for his big move against the meth trade.

Not bad at all, but the storytelling seemed very systematic.
