Justified: Premiere on FX Tonight

"I told you assholes to leave your cellphones in the car !"

 

I had a laugh when the Sam Elliot character disparagingly called Raylin "flagpole" in the last episode.

 

Yes, a great season. And it feels to me like its going to go really dark. A lot of established characters will bite the dust.

 

Elliott makes a great villain when he's in deadly ingratiating mode. Justified has always excelled at baddies.

And they got the great Garret Dillahunt for another evil-doer. Olyphant must have requested him specifically (how could anyone forget his Francis Wolcott?). Garret was so great and sinister on the untimely curtailed Deadwood--must have seemed like a reunion.

Don't know if there's anything to it, but I've thought from the first that Olyphant wanted a show created around a character that had more than a little in common with Seth Bullock, that he didn't feel that he had gotten the chance to explore and fully exploit that character--he's so perfect at it.

Really am going to miss this one--one of those shows that genuinely creates a World.

 

I think the good guys will make it. I see Olyphant riding off into the sunset at the end to be with his wife and child. The show, of course, has always had a Western feel and I think it'll be the morally ambiguous characters like Boyd or Ava who won't survive. And I'm positive Sam Elliot's not making it through.

 

Eva, Eva, Eva...what in the world are you gonna do?

 

Joelle Carter is really doing a great job this season playing the character caught with no real good options. I've always liked her and hope she comes out of this okay.

 

Fantastic final season. I'm loving it. You really have to feel for Ava. And you have to think about a final confrontation between Raylan and Boyd, no? Sure gonna miss it.

 

I really dig Choo-Choo. Good character. I wish they had introduced him before this season, though since he isn't from Harlan I'm not sure how that would have worked.

 

The writers (and apparently just about everyone else) were (are) so personally fond of Elmore Leonard I can't help but think they are going all out for this final season as a kind of tribute. What a classic run--6 great seasons with what looks to be a breathtaking finale. Didn't overstay, went on just the right number of seasons. Beautiful.

 

Funny, I feel just the opposite. Talking through his teeth, looking like some sort of a mongoloid, good riddance.

And thank you for illuminating the rest of us.

 

I liked this week's episode a lot. You got to see some emotional development for the main characters.

I'm also enjoying the smart dialog throughout this entire season...

 

Encouraging to hear favourable response to the new season. How many episodes in is it currently and how many are left?

 

8 in, 5 left. Sniff. Gonna miss this show.

 

This might be my favorite "final" season of any show I've followed. Wasn't thrilled by Breaking Bad's last season. Mad Men has been something of a disappointment and the breaking up the season thing with only one ep added makes it worse. Maybe The Sopranos. I liked that final season and loved the last episode.

 

Great season so far.

I wounder how many more episodes until Wynn Duffy bites the dust?

 

I've been a big fan of this show since the beginning. But the writing this season is probably the best of any season. The dialog is really good and so true to Elmore Leonard's style...

Not gonna be happy to see it end, even if it ends in style...

 

Enjoying the heck out of this season, too. While it doesn't really have a ton of edge-of-your-seat moments, it's still really solidly written and delivered. If they can wrap it up interestingly, this could be one of the best start-to-finish dramas I've ever watched. Let's see how the final 5 episodes play out. I'm really going to miss Justified when it's gone.

By the way, Sam Elliott and Garret Dillahunt are fantastic additions to the show.

 

I was watching High Fidelity last night and one of John Cusack's ex-girlfriends in the movie, the one who was a movie reviewer, was Joelle Carter. I hope Boyd doesn't find out that some record store owner was making time with Ava.

Yeah, I could see Boyd taking a blunt stylus to every platter in the place.

 

I did not see the ending of tonight's episode coming. This isn't gonna end well, I don't think...

 

I thought that Avery should have come out of the SUV with a pistol and shot both Katherine and Boyd. But then I thought, no they can't do that because it has to end with a show down between Boyd and Raylan. Then this episodes ending came along and blew that theory out of the water.

Chad

 

I dunno.... Can they hold Boyd? He didn't steal the money, technically... So what do they have him on?

Boyd and Eva are both still in play, I believe...
