A thread for JUSTIFIED, a TV show on FX starring Timothy Olyphant

s3 of Justifies was kind of like s3 of Sons of Anarchy in terms of a lot of setup for an amazing last couple of episodes, though Justified is a better show. And that's a fine strategy for a 13-episode season as long as the last few deliver.

I agree. Though in terms of story I still prefer S2.

Quarles is a decent bad guy, and Winn Duffy is A+, but Mags was just so much more convincing and real to me.

the overall themes surrounding mags and the mining co are pretty strong too; the community being destroyed by greed and the ways in which greed inevitably corrupts those with any chance of fighting it are pretty poignant too. nothing quite on that level in s3.

definitely - s2 carried strongly the whole way through whereas s3 was kind of waiting around for things to merge. Glad they left more people standing at the end of this season, the only thing I didn't like about s2 was how many characters were eliminated (not Mags though, that was pretty much perfect).

Given that season three was all about the hat in the end, I felt like it should have had more hat.

hard to beat mags tbh but i think all seasons are great on their own merits lets not fight

lol otm

pretty ice cold way to end it, that was great

s1 was kind of a different show in retrospect. I'm not even sure Raylan had any confirmed kills this season.

Posted on the Sons of Anarchy thread, but worth knowing about even if you don't watch:

well then

Holy fuck, is that Shane from The Shield?

(Never watched this show, BTW, just opened the thread to idly see what the consensus about it is here)

Yeah. That's the Goggins.

yep he is also Shane from the Shield

oops xpost

So should I watch Justified? Shane being in it makes me more inclined to.

yes

it's required in life

also if you enter this thread you cannot leave til you've watched it iirc

Well if those are the rules I suppose I'd better.

*taps foot*

Justified is good. Second season is amazing.

Second season makes it all worthwhile

I saw Mags in that stupid Person of Interest show, made me think I want to rewatch the whole series again and hang with Mags again

S3 > S2 imo but I seem to be alone in that assessment

otm

in that you are alone, not that s3 is better :)

I'll take the ballooning chaos and increased LOLs over the pretty-predictable season arc we got last year, despite Martindale's awesomeness.

Justified is just such an all-around great, entertaining show, with perfect writing and plenty of color (like Elmore himself). Can't wait for it to come back.

otm

I want Raylan back so bad. Everyone in my family is getting Justified DVDs for Christmas.

nice

"Why don't we just watch it now? It's festive!"

I bought it for my brother in law when he joined the US Marshalls. I don't think he ever watched it.

My biggest problem with season 3 is that the bad guy keeps drinking Pappy Van Winkle, and I kept thinking, how the hell did he find a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle?!

NICE RACK ON THA GOGGINS

oh tee em

So is nobody watching this show? I think it is very underrated, love the massive web it's spun up around pretty much all of Kentucky at this point. Plus, it kinda reinvents what kind of story it tells every season, which only a select few shows on tv bother to do.

But watching the first episode of the new season (enjoyably overplotted, as usual) I worried if it hasn't changed how it looked? Didn't it use to look... warmer? Less digital?

Oh, wait, I thought the latest post was from 2010, for some reason... My bad...

hahahah, no: there's a real love contingent on ILX for this show.

filming has def cleaned up over time, does seem a bit more polished yes.

Timothy Olyphant was on Nerdist podcast this week - I had hoped he'd talk more about Justified but he ended up telling some p awesome Deadwood stories instead. Not that I'm complaining, lol

Have DVR'd first ep, will watch tonight. So excited!!

Oh shit, first ep is on my tivo! Didn't know!

Just started S2 on Blu Ray, love Raylan and the kiddie fiddler -
RAYLAN: Whoa, okay, I'm just going to ask you one question: Do you know how a firearm works?
DEAN: What?
RAYLAN: The key word in firearm is fire. When the pin hits the cap, it makes the charge explode, meaning there's a spark, which should be of some concern to a man soaked in gasoline.

lol the best

I prefer series 2 to 3 but I love all of them. And a new series of Justified is what this world needs.

First ep was A+ all the way around.
