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

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

pretty ice cold way to end it, that was great

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

Posted on the Sons of Anarchy thread, but worth knowing about even if you don't watch:

well then

Holy fuck, is that Shane from The Shield?

(Never watched this show, BTW, just opened the thread to idly see what the consensus about it is here)

Yeah. That's the Goggins.

yep he is also Shane from the Shield

oops xpost

So should I watch Justified? Shane being in it makes me more inclined to.

yes

it's required in life

also if you enter this thread you cannot leave til you've watched it iirc

Well if those are the rules I suppose I'd better.

*taps foot*

Justified is good. Second season is amazing.

Second season makes it all worthwhile

I saw Mags in that stupid Person of Interest show, made me think I want to rewatch the whole series again and hang with Mags again

S3 > S2 imo but I seem to be alone in that assessment

otm

in that you are alone, not that s3 is better :)

I'll take the ballooning chaos and increased LOLs over the pretty-predictable season arc we got last year, despite Martindale's awesomeness.

Justified is just such an all-around great, entertaining show, with perfect writing and plenty of color (like Elmore himself). Can't wait for it to come back.

otm

I want Raylan back so bad. Everyone in my family is getting Justified DVDs for Christmas.

nice

"Why don't we just watch it now? It's festive!"

I bought it for my brother in law when he joined the US Marshalls. I don't think he ever watched it.

My biggest problem with season 3 is that the bad guy keeps drinking Pappy Van Winkle, and I kept thinking, how the hell did he find a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle?!

NICE RACK ON THA GOGGINS

oh tee em

So is nobody watching this show? I think it is very underrated, love the massive web it's spun up around pretty much all of Kentucky at this point. Plus, it kinda reinvents what kind of story it tells every season, which only a select few shows on tv bother to do.

But watching the first episode of the new season (enjoyably overplotted, as usual) I worried if it hasn't changed how it looked? Didn't it use to look... warmer? Less digital?

Oh, wait, I thought the latest post was from 2010, for some reason... My bad...

hahahah, no: there's a real love contingent on ILX for this show.

filming has def cleaned up over time, does seem a bit more polished yes.

Timothy Olyphant was on Nerdist podcast this week - I had hoped he'd talk more about Justified but he ended up telling some p awesome Deadwood stories instead. Not that I'm complaining, lol

Have DVR'd first ep, will watch tonight. So excited!!

Oh shit, first ep is on my tivo! Didn't know!

Just started S2 on Blu Ray, love Raylan and the kiddie fiddler -
RAYLAN: Whoa, okay, I'm just going to ask you one question: Do you know how a firearm works?
DEAN: What?
RAYLAN: The key word in firearm is fire. When the pin hits the cap, it makes the charge explode, meaning there's a spark, which should be of some concern to a man soaked in gasoline.

lol the best

I prefer series 2 to 3 but I love all of them. And a new series of Justified is what this world needs.

First ep was A+ all the way around.

yeah. Patton Oswalt was even p good - serious lols @ the Pinto with the siren rack. And the bear! Ha!
the kid playing the snakewavy preacher was in The Pacific, realllllly good actor, hoping he brings it here.

felt like patton was played a simmered-down version of his heartshe holler character, almost!

really enjoyed this, glad to have it back.

Great opener. This show really seems to nail the balance between subtle character bits and crowd-pleasing shtick, without getting one-note. Raylan hasn't really developed much as a character, I guess, but Olyphant's such a fun actor to watch, I don't get tired of watching his regulation Raylan Badass Moment every week.

Lots of new characters this season, so hope they find a way to shoehorn Wynn Duffy in. Ron Eldard clearly being set up as this season's character you'd most like to see get shot in the head.

Also - the violence. I seem to get less and less tolerant of violent movies/TV the older I get, but they really seem to the comedy/threat balance right here.

that "take care of him" moment was p funny

My fave Olyphant roles have been both his dude in "Go" and his take on Joey Pants' pimp in "The Girl Next Door." He doesn't have a lot of range, but he has presence and a weird sort of edgy charm. He also played the voice of Clint Eastwood (essentially) in "Rango."

Oh, shit, he was in "Dreamcatcher!"

The Girl Next Door really is a terrible piece of shit, but he's somehow still great in it.
