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

You went to high school with Raylan Givens?!

been meaning to check that out, if only out of appreciation for 30-minute episodes

speaking of appreciation, it’s been too long since anyone’s mentioned wynn duffy and his majestic eyebrows

I'm a big fan of the line, "If you were in the first grade, bit a kid every week? They'd start to think of you as a biter."

this is a pretty good description of what makes Mr In-Between worth watching... that push off the stairs to start the series is one of the more fucked up things i've seen on television

Wynn Duffy is a dark timeline Martin Mull.

omg

idk why this thread kicked off so hard again but it's making me fancy an s4 rewatch

the anus is on you

The line "If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole," was that written for the show?

More than once I have wondered that very thing.

wins otm

we should do a justified ownage poll

hard to beat the "no you can't have your arm back" moment

a number of moments in the climax of the s1 finale would be high on my list, along with "next one's comin' faster"

Final scene of S2 is very powerful, too

margo martindale is a national treasure

s2 is overrated but she's amazing

"The next day, God sent me a sign: Now Hiring!"

I’d forgotten notable character Choo-Choo. Obviously written for some cheap laughs and as a Dewey replacement, but his monotone delivery is good

Anyone read Leonard's last novel, Raylan? I didn't realize there was any Raylan fiction beyond the first short story.

Apparently he went back to him because he was so inspired by and happy with how they treated the character in the show.

Getting Stockholm syndromed into enjoying Michael Rapaport's awful accent

nooooo

this faymilee needs tew stay tewgayther

Alicia Witt deserved better

He's like a Red Dead Redemption 2 comic relief character

his accent would be considered “too broad” on fkn HeeHaw

Season 6 is not that much better than Season 5 IMO, aside from the lack of Rappaport.

I have long said this!!

tbh I might give the edge to 5 even with Rap, the S6 plotlines are kind of who cares

i completed my ~rescreening~, s5 was where i bailed out the first time through, and in retrospect it was fine. s6 was a decent way to finish—would have been good to see a scene of interaction where raylan decided not to shoot boyd, though, instead of a cut showing it hadn't happened—but overall in the end it seemed like they happened onto something good with the raylan/boyd opposition at the beginning of the show that its format did not really let them treat properly. too much juggling going on in the interim seasons to defer the final showdown. the last season seemed notably better-paced, presumably because they had a goal in mind and raylan had nearly given up all pretense of doing any other work for the marshals but trying to get boyd.

not enough episodes had the kind of emotional impact the raylan/boyd pairing sorta set the show up to have. like over time it could never quite figure out if it was going to stay on the surface of a leonardesque world or treat the 'we dug coal together' bond as meaningful.

wynn duffy was a good criminal.

excellent commentary, j.

Creators of Justified teaming up to adapt City Primeval for FX

my ideal for this would be to have olyphant back as raylan, but as part of an ensemble rather than the principal focus

anyway I'm stoked for this team + more Leonard

Justified is coming back!

wait what!?

fuck yeah

I'm totally up for this

yes otm v down for this :D

Pleased about this. No Graham Yost though? As long as there’s no Boyd this time - their last scene should stay as their last scene.

Several years on, my favourite memory of the show is Jere Burns’s “I thought I was the crazy one” look after meeting Quarles

Yost is in there as exec producer, isn't he?

Oh ok good

I also think about the exploding stomach bomb a lot but that is a less pleasant memory

this sounds way more like The Continuing Adventures of Raylen Givens than justified season 7 which makes me like the idea quite a bit more

rewatching s1 again & how did it slip my notice that the music is by none other than Steve Porcaro?
