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

u realize we're both kinda just fucking the thread up now

see u on the high ground

feel free to stop at any time

can you guys just make out so we can go back to talking about hats and guns again?

i know how rewarding you find encouraging forks love life but that is really just beyond the pale

goggins showed up as a voice in a recent ep of unsupervised
get the impression FX guys like to reuse their own; charlie day did the same

i fwiw i dont think limehouses sidekicks fate was preordained, had he pulled off the bank set up hes prob back in the fold, giving him one last chance

yeah maybe. but he'll never want to do things limehouse's way so if it wasn't this it'd be the next thing.

idk hed managed to stick around there his whole life so far, wouldve been more in keeping w/the general theatrics of the show to have him do one big last betrayal that forced limeshouses hand, but then i guess he wouldve had to kill him

limehouse is introduced to the story as a man who does not brook failure or gross insubordination; it's intrinsic to the character

when were introduced to him he says that hell kill anyone who crosses him twice, but then he just lets guy go, which reveals limehouse to be a big ol softy who does in fact brook failure and insubordination, so the scene from this week is more as gukbe says abt character rather than plot development, which is what i was asking abt

he doesn't "just lets guy go"; he gives dude who fucked up a choice: unquestioning servitude with the promise of death if he fucks up or a brand and a clean slate. not sure how you get big ol softy out of that.
why character v plot development is a concern is beyond me

he lets the sidekick go when hes fucked up repeatedly

why character v plot development is a concern is beyond me

obvs

talking to or with you is such a waste of time

feel free to never talk to me again

if I ask if you need a hug will that make it worse y/n

maybe if u guys just kept yr weirdo passive agressive stuff on the threads specifically dedicated to propping up forks ego thatd be best

sounds like an n

figures

well. jeez.

i liked this season a lot.

i had the same question about limehouse/errols at the end and so did my wife fwiw.

but i think what forks says makes sense, though it wasn't all that clear to me.

either way, the mags season will probably always be the best, but damn this season was a whole hell of a lot of fun.

it's just amazing casting, pretty much every character they bring on is great.

i didn't know this wasn't popular, that bums me out. :(

i like how they keep the previous seasons' bad guys around

like the way they use wynn duffy, who was such a scary creep in previous seasons, to make new dude seem even creepier is so great

i love him just standing around watching blondie all season

wynn turning into a punching bag with teeth was a good development.

he wasn't a punching bag really, he was just... carefully watching and planning his move(s). it was dope

he seemed to be constantly asking himself 'is this really happening'

he was sort of like, too smart to act out, he realized he was kind of stuck, waiting for an opening basically

just in general i love the idea of the bad guy who is scared by the newer bad guy, it always works well (see buffy)

deadwood

star wars (emperor)

sexy beast

good example

s3 > s2 > s1 imo

agree

season 3 definitely the funniest season

definitely, even in the darker eps, like the finale.

oh sure, much funnier. less tight.

s3 of Justifies was kind of like s3 of Sons of Anarchy in terms of a lot of setup for an amazing last couple of episodes, though Justified is a better show. And that's a fine strategy for a 13-episode season as long as the last few deliver.

I agree. Though in terms of story I still prefer S2.

Quarles is a decent bad guy, and Winn Duffy is A+, but Mags was just so much more convincing and real to me.

the overall themes surrounding mags and the mining co are pretty strong too; the community being destroyed by greed and the ways in which greed inevitably corrupts those with any chance of fighting it are pretty poignant too. nothing quite on that level in s3.

definitely - s2 carried strongly the whole way through whereas s3 was kind of waiting around for things to merge. Glad they left more people standing at the end of this season, the only thing I didn't like about s2 was how many characters were eliminated (not Mags though, that was pretty much perfect).

Given that season three was all about the hat in the end, I felt like it should have had more hat.

hard to beat mags tbh but i think all seasons are great on their own merits lets not fight

lol otm

pretty ice cold way to end it, that was great

s1 was kind of a different show in retrospect. I'm not even sure Raylan had any confirmed kills this season.

felt like the resolution of this season was notably more sophisticated storytelling wise than anything that preceded it
