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

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.

Have I mentioned that I LOVE THIS SHOW

always meant to look into it, but is the show shot in the south? If not they do an excellent job of making LA look like absolutely not LA.

I think I remember some hills looking an awful lot like Southern California once, but I don't know. There are more shows being filmed in the south these days (Vampire Diaries, Walking Dead, Hart of Dixie) that maybe there are tax breaks they found.

Still, pretty sure it is LA, especially considering the conspicuous "we're going to LA" episode in the first season.

I'd like to see them flesh out his fellow Marshalls a bit more, but as they don't have the time for Ava and Natalie Zea (forget her character name) I don't imagine that will happen.

I want more of the sniper guy, he's cuet :)

re shooting locations, yeah I think they do most of it in LA. One of my friends in LA recognised the bridge the baddies RV was parked under from the episode a couple of weeks back

i am hoping for more rachel time this season. also my sister wants ava and wynona gone, period, which i have to admit might be better.

I kinda like Ava, but I could live without Wynona

i like ava, too, but girlfriend roles are wretched

I still feel Ava's shift to pro-crime Boyd Crowder lover was far too abrupt and unbelievable, but I'm okay with it now.

here is the thing about boyd: he's dreamy?

No doubt, and I buy their relationship when they're on screen together. It was just the switchover that still feels like figuring out how to keep Ava in the show.

yeah they didn't dole her out a lot of character in the first place

I feel like I like Winona more this season than ever before, but yeah Season 1 Ava is not the same character as the rest of the show, which is kind of the biggest annoyance for me right now. That said, this absolutely ruled this week. Loved Raylan's horrible pun, it felt like he lifted it from the Archer writers' room.

looks like Winona is going to be a lot more pivotal shortly
here's hoping she elevates beyond the "i stole a bag of money, shucks" schtick from last year. it wasn't that bad but had the same whiff of ava breaking bad: character development for the sake of plot development

I read somewhere that those two episodes were specifically conceived more as a relatively inexpensive stopgap rather than some carefully considered (on a thematic/character level) development, which makes a lot of sense in retrospect.

yyyep

It's kind of maddening, as far as Ava and Winona are concerned. I mean, the writers are capable of coming up with an awesome, well-shaded female character like Mags...it's not like they cant get better storylines for them. But yeah, if they're just going to be cartoons, then don't have them at all.

How are we to this point on the thread without anyone mentioning how Mykelti Williamson is ABSOLUTELY KILLING IT as Ellstin Limehouse? The introduction of Noble's Holler is this season's stroke of genius, and his patriarchal menace is the photo negative of Neal McDonough's Quarles character.

yeah noble's holler is a development i am v *excited* and Limehouse is already a great character

Yes, loving Limehouse. that dude is badass. He's sort of got that even-tempered, still waters run deep kinda, I dunno, Marsellus Wallace feel about him...

His creepy "bacon"-flavored sex threat against my lovely Deputy Brooks REALLY pissed me off.

(there is a sentence I did not ever expect to type)
