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

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

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

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.

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

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?!

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...
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:45 (eleven years ago) link
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.

I prefer series 2 to 3 but I love all of them. And a new series of Justified is what this world needs.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 22:49 (eleven years ago) link
First ep was A+ all the way around.
― What am I, in France? (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 10 January 2013 05:45 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 10 January 2013 05:59 (eleven years ago) link
felt like patton was played a simmered-down version of his heartshe holler character, almost!
really enjoyed this, glad to have it back.
― Clay, Thursday, 10 January 2013 06:02 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 10 January 2013 10:28 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 10 January 2013 10:30 (eleven years ago) link
that "take care of him" moment was p funny
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 10 January 2013 14:51 (eleven years ago) link
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."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 January 2013 14:58 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 10 January 2013 15:06 (eleven years ago) link
I enjoyed his Rango turn
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 10 January 2013 16:20 (eleven years ago) link
I haven't liked him in much aside from Justified and Deadwood -- must be something about hats and guns
Nick Searcy is great as Chief Mullen as well. There was an episode where he foils the murderer on witness protection via his satnav. It was a lesson in old kool and a wonderfully understated performance.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Thursday, 10 January 2013 17:20 (eleven years ago) link
Apparently we can expect more Wynn Duffy action this season. Solid premiere, I thought.
― Simon H., Thursday, 10 January 2013 21:18 (eleven years ago) link
preacher scene was really well done.

Boyd vs Billy bible showdown was excellent. Love Boyd being dragged back into religion again
Really dug this episode

It might be the perfect example of what is so great about this show. How on earth did they fit so much great stuff into 42 minutes? People who thought last season was overcrowded must be a bit nervous: I fully expect the rest of the season to include a whole lot of Wyn Duffy, Arlo, Constable Bob, the St Cyrs, and would really like more of the Truths and a visit from Dewey Cox as well. Plus Limehouse and Dickie Bennett, and a lot of other people.
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
It looks like Winn Duffy is truly back in the game after spending too much time in Quarles' shadow. I am guessing at some point Raylan will be having the conversation 'that won't be a conversation' with him again. Sometimes I wish they stretched it out just a little bit into 60 minute episodes. I suppose that's you could improve the show, just make it longer!
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 19:44 (eleven years ago) link
I love how they're giving the bartender's husband dude a weird Billy Jack vibe, like I keep expecting him to put the beatdown on dudes with a kick to the head
