Justified (1 Viewer)

Apparently my DVR schmucked up and I missed 2 episodes (I think #5 and #11), but I watched all 11 episodes back to back last night. Agreed with most of what I read here. Pilot was awesome IMO, but the show dropped off in the middle of the season, episodes 2-6, with the one with Alan Ruck being the only one I really liked. Then again, those episodes kept me interested enough to find out how the Goggins story progressed. Thought it picked up with the 7th episode where the local cop was connected with Miami, and then from the 8th episode on (hostage one) I thought it really picked back up with a storyline and action as consistent as the first episode. Like the vigilante angle they kind of switched up and gave Goggins after he got out of jail and Im very happy they didnt kill him off.

If this show lasts more than 3 seasons, maybe even 2, I think theyre going to have to move Raylan out of KY and to another city as I dont think theyll be able to keep it interesting in the town he's in now for longer than that since only so much will happen there. I hope they really focus on Goggins character is season 2 and into season 3, but I think the show might be best served to relocate Raylan and get him a new antagonist after that.

 
Not a big Olyphant fan, but I saw my first episode of this last night and he just might change my mind.

Really liked what I saw last night, and I'll probably run a marathon of season one this weekend.

ETA: Good to see "Faraday" from 'Lost' get some work.

I liked last night. They have changed the tone of the show. Last year, many of the early episodes revolved around a single "Case" and didn't spend much time on the characters and the ongoing story between them. Last night showed (to me at least) that they are going to be spending more time on the overarching storylines, which is fine by me.

Eva is quote, but the ex-wife is smoking.

You didn't like Seth Bullock?
 
I loved last nights premier. The old lady running the town is creepy as hell. Olyphant's character is about as freaking cool as you can get.

How did it end last night? DVR cut out when the girls dad was dying at the dinner table.

I think that was pretty much it. Afterwards Raylan was back at his hotel, his ex-wife came by and they made whoopie. Post coitus he received a call from that state trooper who said they had a lead on Boyd, then it showed Boyd working in a mine (at least I think that's what he was doing). Couldn't tell if what they were really trying to say about Boyd, I guess that he's going to try and make it seem like he's going straight by taking his old job or something. The trailer after the episode gave the impression that the Bennett's will be the main antagonists this season.

Watched it last night and thought it was fantastic. It's not Deadwood (my favorite TV show in modern memory), but it was a smartly written, powerful drama that got to showcase the same intensity Olyphant displayed as Sheriff Bullock.

I watched the first episode. I wasn't impressed. Going to watch the whole first season and hope it gets better. Same with Spartacus. Wasn't digging that one either. I will watch the whole first season though. I think Breaking Bad spoiled me.ETAAfter a few episodes Justified is starting to grow on me. Looking forward to the rest. Spartacus? Not so much.

Finally saw last week's episode and it was one of my favorite yet.

Mags Bennett was on fire at the townhall meeting with Black Pike. Powerful scene and outstanding work by the "poor man's Kathy Bates".

 
Man this show is terrific and I get the feeling no one is watching it ala Terriers. Another great episode last night.

so, for the people still following along,who do you think was responsible for the attempted snuff out lastweek?

I'm going with Gary and that Winona was the actual target.

based on the description on my dvr this appears to be correct.

Yeah, just saw the summary of tonight's episode. Watched last week's for the first time a couple hours ago. Looking back it seems to fit together. They were tailing Raylan and Winona to her lawyer's office, and once they were shooting it out it looked like the second guy wasn't even looking for Raylan but just targeting Winona. Figures Gary would be behind that.I'm actually more interested at this point with what's going to happen with Boyd and Dickie. It's kind of nice to see Boyd getting back to being the character from last season.

Raylan is not gonna be happy.

No, no he is not. Should be a pretty good finish to the season.Most probably know the series is based on "Fire in the Hole," a short-story by Elmore Leonard. The Raylan character first appeared in two other novels. The first is called "Pronto," the second, "Riding the Rap." All three are very much worth a read if you're a fan of the show. You'll recognize quite a few scenes and even a couple of characters. I got them off of Amazon for pennies. Good, quick, entertaining reads.
 
Wow the last few weeks have been super. Can't wait to see what happens, bad news is that there is only two more episodes.

 
I really like how they have basically given up having a story in each show to go along with the wide-plot. Like last season when he was chasing Cameron Frye through the desert. This season has been much better, deeper, darker, etc. All the things that make FX shows good.

Do you mean why didn't Raylen kill him?I thought that made sense. I couldn't see Raylen executing a handcuffed man, especially when he had a guy will to testify against him.

It's gonna get bloody in Harlan county. :boxing: I started out not thinking too much of the show (being from SE KY, tend to :rolleyes: at a lot of stuff) but it has really grown on me. Love the characters.

Maybe raylon hauls him in, but I got the impression he just left him out there, which is not consistent.

He was going to kill him but then his conscience got the better of him and he just took him in. That's why they had the whole scene with the other guy recanting and confessing to the crime - to get Dickie out of jail.

I get that, it was only shown/implied in the preview of next week. All we saw was raylon whack him and walk away. I think :unsure:

What the hell, I didn't know this was the second season. Completely missed the first. Now I have a full season of "new" episodes to catch up on :thumbup: This show has me by the nuts and isn't letting go.

If there was every a TMI quote this one has to rank in the top 5.Just caught up, season has been fantastic so far, explain the old lady visitor and what Mags signed off on to me?
Click to expand...
I don't know how any viewer would really know yet. My guess is one of 2 things (sure to be wrong):

1- Jed's grandmother

2- Mags' mother in law

My guess is more #2 and that Dickie's grandmother stepped in to keep Mags from letting her son rot in jail. Then the old lady delivered news to Jed that he'd either eat the charge (and get his family well paid) or his family would be killed.

Btw, what do you guys think of Jeremy Davies playing Dickie?

Sometimes, I have a hard time buying it and find it a bit annoying. Other times, I think he's brilliant. I can't really decide.
