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

this is maybe getting tiresome but ill just say in closing the elements of convention are assembled somewhat unconventionally in this show, and i like it

yeah, for sure, of course there are much more conventional cop shows. sorry i was such a pain; you described the meta-ness as "annoying" before, that's all.

haha captain save-a-justified, i really like the show and i think its annoying as in it manages to use the metaness to further the dramatic tension, which is impressive, like its not just showily meta but actually incorporates it into the meaning of the show, it irritates and compels, the nature of drama

i mean its a v good show and it messes w/you, plays the edges, puts wynona who is also v annoying btw lol in yr face for a lil too long, its v crafty

annoying like a girl you secretly want to smash, got it

ok im glad we came to an understanding here

god i'm tired of that ilx meme/joke/whatever

sorry :/

i bet you find it pretty annoying

:)

a lot of things are "odd" if you boil them down to reductive better than/less than rankings that I never actually expressed.

Fair enough. I like plenty of garbage myself!

haters shd fall back imo

not a single person itt who actually hates on this show afaict

i am starting to resent your reasonable person ilx persona

:( sorry

i think it reflects worse on me than on you

the heart olyphants what it olyphants

finding some dude p annoying itt

this is definitely the best show ever to have run the 'i think that went well' line in its first five minutes

goggins, total bro, unsurprising

This is back tonight.

fuck yes

HOLY SHIT!!

this was good! Sorry to see a comic book bad guy introduced and dispatched so quickly tho

This ruled! Loved Raylan's simple-but-elegant standoff solution. Also pretty stoked to see how this suddenly-huge cast of players (with more to come) are going to play off of each other.

I'm curious to find out why Boyd wanted to go to prison; that was hella contrived and obvious
Gonna miss Mags a lot.

I liked that icepick dude, he was creepy (and cuet)

he wanted to get to prison to kill dickie right?

well, that's what the end of the episode suggested.

I liked that icepick dude, he was creepy (and cuet)

He is from Dexter. I wasn't sure it was him at first because he seems to have lost a lot of weight, but Googling confirms it.

omg the mob boss dude is from Terriers! he is the creepiest-looking dude. he looks like an old baby.

he is in Burn Notice too. He has a smooth patch in the middle of his forehead, I can't tell if it's from botox or what...he's SO weird looking!

I'll always remember him from Ravenous, which also featured Jeremy Davies.

HE WAS LICKING MEEEEEEEE

McDonough was set to star in the ABC dramedy Scoundrels[3] but was fired for refusing to do sex scenes for the show. He credits his family and his Catholic faith for his decision.[4]

McDonough portrays the role of "Jesus" in "The Truth & Life Dramatized audio New Testament Bible," a 22-hour, celebrity-voiced, fully dramatized audio New Testament which uses the Catholic edition of the RSV.

oh my GOD the ice pick dude was JACK BASS???????????????

Good one tonight. Doing well this season.

I really dug last week's episode, the money in the cooler was LOL

the teaser for this episode was very upsetting

I can't remember it

just dewey crowe in a bathtub of his own blood being told about what's going to happen to his body without kidneys. i couldn't even look at the screen/kind of felt like i was going to pass out.

oh shit NOW i remember

yeah

Currently the best show on tv for my money
i love the comic book intensity of the bad guys

Otm. The dialog has guaranteed lols in every ep

the slow drift to icy on the Detroit guys face when he knew his bullshit was not being bought was some priceless acting there

this show is clicking in a way I never thought it would. Absolutely killing it this season.

It took me a while to get over no Mags, but I dunno...if they keep this up story-wise this show could run for years

i damn well hope so

And they have such AWESOME casting. Using really quality actors in the smallest roles, I love this style of tv.
