yeah but CW was shook about viewers following long term narratives, FX is not

i'm not the biggest Justified fan but they've earned my trust that they know what they're doing, will see how it goes

well then this is becoming a weekly habit... but seriously it's a good thing last resort got cancelled because it is insanely stupid (and i am too for continuing to watch i guess). also, the show feels really disjointed. it's like the writers are trying to squeeze in every imaginable plot without really linking them to one another. for example this episode shows christine captured and sam going after her but iirc last episode ended with them on a boat controlled by pakistani soldiers, so wtf happened in between ?

i'd be willing to bet the network just doesn't give a fuck and is airing episodes out of order now

it might also be that i'm misremembering last week's episode. thinking about it (why am doing this to myself), christine was taken away by one of the seal guys, so the whole captured in philippines makes a little bit more sense i guess. how sam knew where she was taken to though remains a mystery to me.

they wouldn't air eps out of order would they ? like how common is it for that to happen ? and what's the logic behind such a decision, if you have all your episodes shot and ready to be aired why do it out of order ?

it's not as common as it used to be but TV history is rife with examples of networks airing episodes out of order out of some weird network logic. given that the show is already canceled i just wouldn't be surprised if they pulled something like that.

i thnk the eps are in order but they're trying to cram in a lot of plot so they kind of skip over things.

yeah i haven't watched the latest episode yet (and tbh haven't paid close attention to the last few episodes before that) so i'm just saying

It's been airing in order.

Watched the pilot for 1600 Penn.

Just kill NBC now. Put it out of my misery.

lol seriously

i felt bad that the girl who played "Becca" in Superbad is also named "Becca" in this show, because how sad it must be to be a Becca once, let alone twice
