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

Copper is 19th c

Cool, will check that out. Thanks.

Looks like it might be the one, just watching the first episode now.

It isn't much cop :P

Pretty good ep last night. Really enjoyed Eric Roberts, and I hope he comes back for future episodes.

The final shot was, in and of itself, pretty awesome too.

I have not had high hopes for this season's prospects, but I am feeling better about it after last night. Four more to wrap up a pretty big mess of multiple plot lines, but I think the writers have shown they're up to it.

love they give the guy a whole shakespeare riff as though he's due to be another quirky character and then just knock him right out.

and then they nail the punchline to the 20 foot rule

so good

the two appearances by [spoiler] were perfect

Dialogue and plotting could be a lot sharper but those were both rewarding bits

I cracked up so hard at that knife conclusion

i dunno, I've decided this show is off the rails right now based on the last two episodes
too many guests, too many plotlines and too much rumbling in directions that don't support the show
the ava line is a mess and ridiculous

simultaneously feels like there is way too much and way too little going on

I was enjoying the Ava storyline but this last episode went too far with it for my liking. Conversely, they fixed most of the rest of the plotlines in that same episode. It's been a weird season.

Do you guys think the Crowe kid is going to end up killing his dipshit uncle?

Nah, Raylan'll do it for him so the kid doesn't go down the irredeemably dark path, etc etc.

Same as Loretta & Mags.

they seem to be sending the kid to kill raylan's ex and he ends up shooting art instead based on the direction of the plot at the end there and the "next week on" blurb

i lolled at the dickie bit

"I don't think he took my advice in the way that it was intended"

Apparently there is a six-minute take of the "map of Kentucky" spiel. DVD extra, please.

RAYLAN DON'T HANG UP IT'S DICKIE CROWE

I hope the last episode ends with everyone dead or getting some needed sleep becuz everyone's just so tired and confused and exasperated by fate except Raylan who's punchy and bored like capt Kirk when he's dealing with an isolated all powerful god who won't let the enterprise leave his planet for the 800th time

If Art dies, I wonder if it won't have been motivated by Nick Searcy's gross Twitter antics. (Probably he'll survive, though.)

"Jesus everybody sucks I should ask Mary steenburgen what to do in a manner that seems droll and menacing but really isn't" - a believable impulse this season

man i wish you hadn't brought nick searcy's twitter to my attention

yeah, sorry. I just had to spread the misery.

Do you guys think the Crowe kid is going to end up killing his dipshit uncle?

At this point my expectation is that one adult Crowe will die in each of the three episodes left this season (my bet: Wendy, then Dewey, then Daryl Jr.) and Raylan will marry Kendal off to Loretta the teenage pot dealer, with Boyd officiating.

Dewey Crowe will never die.

Next season to feature David Schwimmer as Delroy Crowe, a long feared cousin from nawlins who heard everyone's been hanging around Bumfuck Kentucky looking to sell drugs or get a payoff or some shit and feels left out. His henchmen are Malcolm Jamal Warner and Freddie prinze jr (as "Polecat").

i'd be down for malcolm jamal warner and DJ Qualls

I've come back around to this season -- sure it's past it's prime now, but it's been pretty consistently great for the last 3-4 episodes, rather than all over the map like before. Not sure I really care about guest star of the week syndrome.

On the neg side, it does seem like a classic annoying Jutsified move to promote Jere Burns to regular then give him the least to do for all five seasons.

i misread that as "pretty consistently great for the last 3-4 seasons, rather than all over the map like before" and was stunned.

the evolution of his character from "omg what is that weirdo going to do" to "jesus, is this peeved middle manager going to do ANYTHING?" has been pretty sad.

wynn, i mean

I was hoping for a return of psycho wynn with the scene of him torturing a drug dealer with bb gun.

Just realised Picker was this guy. Crazy.

Everything is pointing to Ava dying or at least getting severely incapacitated next week.

Anyway, good penultimate ep.

So, what, Ava dies and that sets up Raylan v Boyd for the final season I guess? That would kind of invalidate all time on the prison scenes but sounds plausible

The way this season has gone, I'd be less surprised to see Ava get out prison, become Lady Scarface and go after both of her two most recent boyfriends.

glad the plot's finally sorta going somewhere but jesus has the wit diminished drastically on this show. "Well I assumed you weren't talking your waiter at your favorite mexican restaurant" SAUCY, boyd! And making Dewey do not just the "anus" bit but the "third person" bit? Argh.

there was a long pause after dewey said "i don't get you" to raylan from the back of the cop car that probably could have used a sad trombone or a banjo

oh god, yes

I can't remember, did Raylan actually facepalm when Dewey started creeping up on the meeting, guns drawn?

"I don't understand you" was a neat callback to the pilot, I thought. Made me think that might be the last we see of Dewey.

Don't recall Raylan facepalming, he does put about half of his fist in his mouth, though.

Ah, yes, that was it. Dewey really hit the jackpot, claiming the drugs were his, confessing to murder with details, and referring to himself in the third person. What a guy.

finally doing my 'rescreen' of this

boyd's preaching is so great

We got burned by the variable episode lengths on the very last one. Set the DVR to record it and the episode cut off with about 3 minutes left.

For a moment in the last ep I thought they were relocating to Miami for the last season, that might have been a good idea tbh.

worked for archer

i mean, just for the shot of boyd putting on sunglasses in a convertible in a palm tree-heavy montage
