I don't get FX. Tape it for me.
I don't have F/X on demand but I am taping the next airing of episode one. Not the ghey star wars one. This one. JD, come over Saturday and we'll check it out.
Why don't you have F/X? What the fuck kind of cable doesn't have that?

I still like that movie, punk.
I am an Elmore Leonard fan. Even though he doesn't write for this show, it is Elmore Leonard. Watched one episode and I am addicted. I heard him interviewed about the show on NPR. He said that he is going to submit a script.

This has been sitting on my DVR, waiting for JD to drop by, but I couldn't hold out any longer and had to watch it (sorry buddy).
Some people might say this show isn't going to be awesome. I reckon those people are idiots.
Everybody on the board needs to call JD's local cable or satellite provider and urge them to pick up FX or just give it to him for free.

Steak tits x infinity. Every show you know exactly what you're going to get.
There's a group of criminals of below average intelligence that show up on Raylon's radar for apprehension. Usually, they're just low-level turds operating way above their pay grade. There's a strange kind of innocence about them in their ignorance and desire to simply get paid through shady dealings. Most of them don't really want to hurt anybody. But there's always a wild card, a truly evil son of a bitch in the mix, who shows up at some point or another. The fun is trying to decide which of the crooks is a foolish rake and which is a poisonous snake. In the end, Raylon and his gun sort everything out. Nice and tidy like.
Plotlines are not sophisticated at all. The characters are absolutely hilarious though. I mean, pulling that asshole's teeth right out of his mouth in the car? Fucking A. That was Cameron from Ferris Bueller.

Then why is his nickname Mr. Friendly?
And he's also on the new show Happy Town. That guy is busier than Kurt on an 8-year old pajama party night at his in-law's basement.
Mrs. Cubbieblue has a rating system for this show that is based on the number of bad guys who get killed. I think that she sees these shows like WWII fighter planes that had the number of enemy planes shot down by the pilot painted on the forward fuselage of the plane. She felt that last night's show fell below the quota.

I think the amount of damage Raylon does to them is a fair rating system for how big of a piece of shit they are. Which leads me to believe that there may be some good in Boyd. I sense he may have the same level of disdain for his old man that Raylon has for his.
Bo Crowder seems like an awesome character. I kind of hope he offs Ava after all. Her entire story is getting tired as hell and this show lacks the boobilidge to make her white trash character worth having.
I'm sorry. I don't mean that. I hope Ava's ok.

Yeah, I didn't see that one coming at all. Does it make one Weebsian to appreciate good writing, directing and acting. Because I, like Weebs, like all those things. And this show has them out the yin-yang.

And to pass the time we get to see Raylin's ex and her new husband, Herman from Herman's Head, deal with some scummers in the most violent way possible.
Next week is going to be awesome but I'm guessing it won't hold a candle to whatever's in store for the finale.
Wonder if they're going to save this Crowder rivalry for season 2 or end it in the finale.
I liked this episode, but was kind of disappointed in that I was hoping Duffy would be around for a bit longer. He's come a long way since "Dear John".

No, I think we're supposed to root for them to get back together. This is on purpose.
Did you see the look on Boyd's face when he found out he'd barbeque'd that sumbitch? I've been certain all along that he was completely full of shit with his whole salvation rhetoric. But that look betrayed real fear, sadness and shame. Maybe because he was pretty sure he'd get caught. Maybe because he knew the jig was up on the whole preacher angle. Maybe because his daddy was now going to be piping hot about this latest fuck up.
In any event, it was some damn fine acting, directing and editing - not to mention writing.
And God damn Ava for laying that guilt trip on Raylon for not continuing to pound them guts. And that bitch said, "Boyd's not like Bauman." Raylon answered that he's worse. And sure enough, a man is dead.
Next episode looks like fucking dynamite. Yes!
Yet another appearance from a Deadwood actor. In looking for the connection between the two, I discovered that one of the writers (Graham Yost) also wrote Herman's Head. Nice call, Slak. Incidentally, I still haven't figured out the link between Deadwood and Justified. Does anyone know?

I can't tell if
you're being serious. An awful lot of Deadwood cast has appeared in Justified. I figured it was because one of the directors, writers, or casting director worked on both projects.

Yet another appearance from a Deadwood actor. In looking for the connection between the two, I discovered that one of the writers (Graham Yost) also wrote Herman's Head. Nice call, Slak. Incidentally, I still haven't figured out the link between Deadwood and Justified. Does anyone know?
Cowboy hats and guns?
Seriously, Kerm? Other than the fact that the main character on Justified was a main character on Deadwood?

That could be. But I'd be pretty surprised if the lead actor had that kind of influence over the rest of the casting.

He offered the casting director a reward of $50,000 for each former Deadwood actor she hired. He made the checks out to either her or Jesus, whatever she preferred.
God damn, I love this show. Love it.
Raylon's prayer:
Quote"Dear Lord, before we eat this meal, we ask for forgiveness for our sins, especially Boyd, who blew up a black church with a rocket launcher and afterwards shot his associate Jared Hale in the back of the head on Tates Creek Bridge. Let the image of Jared's brain matter on that windshield not dampen our appetite but may the knowledge of Boyd's past sins help guide these men. May this food provide them with all the nourishment they need, but if it does not, may they find comfort in knowing the United States Marshals Service is offering $50,000 to any individual providing information that will put Boyd back in jail."
The writing and acting on this show absolutely rules. Bo, Boyd, and Papa Givens are all perfectly cast. Even dipshit Dewey is a great character. It's fun trying to figure out how much of Boyd's pious bullshit he actually buys into.

RV is correct. Seems every player on this show from Raylon to the various guest stars to the meth cookers with 3 lines each is perfectly cast.
And damn if Boyd Crowder isn't one of the best characters on TV. Watching that last scene with Dewey, I had absolutely no idea if he was going to pull the trigger or not. Not an inkling either way.

Now 'fess up guys. Deep down you feel that one unlucky day you're going to be in the wrong bar at the wrong time and sitting near you at the bar will be Bo, or Boyd, or one of the other lowlifes who feels that it his his God given right to ruin your whole day.

I met my fair share of Deweys down back home. I knew a few turds who remind me of Bo and Boyd but I sure as shit hope the comparision ends with the accents and then jean jackets.
So... Ex-Mrs.-Raylan, huh?
I'd also like to back up a week and say "THAT" to this:

Dewey's played by an Australian, too. So he probably normally talks just like Tonker.
Hell's comin' to breakfast next week. I've got a feeling Papa Givens isn't going to survive, but all the Crowders will live to see next season.
I know "fire in the hole" is an overused phrase when it comes to people blowing shit up in movies/TV, but I'll be damned if I don't laugh every time Boyd Crowder says it.

I'm not so sure Arlo doesn't make it. He's shown he can do whatever he needs to survive, plus Bo Crowder suddenly has bigger problems to deal with now that his son has blown up his shipment. Or, maybe you're right. It could go any number of ways, and I've got no real clue how it'll shake out, which is part of the reason I love this show.
Johnny Crowder bears watching though. He's clearly not happy with being shunted to the background by Bo.

Good point, Johnny could be the surprise wild card along with the usual Boyd wild card. Bo rules:
QuoteI may not own a private plane or a fancy car, and when you look at me, you probably see some dumb redneck who likes to eat roadkill for breakfast and have sex with his cousins. I don't eat roadkill and I don't screw my relatives and I didn't just get off of no shortbus.

Bo does indeed rule. What was the line that the meth cooker guy said to Bo's lackey?
"If was I opening a dick-sucking business, then I'd ask for your advice"
Wow...
Where the hell does this show go from here next season?
Damn! That finale took all of the hurt out of a blown save and a loss by Marmot.
I heard Elmore Leonard interviewed a couple of months ago saying that he wanted to write an episode. I guess that is next season. This finale was directed by Adam Arkin. Nice job.
Gold, Jerry, gold! What an episode. Raylan shooting Arlo to fool Bo's goons. Bo hangin' & shootin' Boyd's flock. Bo fillin' Johnny's gut full o' lead. Boyd taking affront to not being able to kill Bo his own self. Raylan killing fools left and right (I particularly enjoyed the Miami goon who got his head exploded as he peeked in the window). Ending the season with Boyd on the hunt for some Miami chumps. And all the dialogue in between was outstanding.

Ironically, CT hasn't watched the finale yet.
I just watched it - incredible. There were several holy shit moments - most of them were awesome video game deaths at the hand of Raylan Givens. His ex looked particularly sexy tonight in her brief appearance. Which reminds me of something I love - they didn't even resolve that relationship crap. They focused on the killin'. That is my kind of show.
A+

That seems like the only powder they kept dry for next season.
The ex said her milquetoast husband is living at the YMCA now, didn't she?
Meanwhile, Raylan told Arlo that Ava 'never had to chase him.'
I trust them to shoot and kill their way through this love triangle business in proper Raylan Givens fashion, but there's a love story reckoning coming in any event.
Finally sat down and watched the finale. Fucking awesome.

Come get some, shit birds. Elmore Leonard is my dad.
Well, now I finally watched it. I was worried this show was going to involve a lot of Raylan shooting guns out of people's hands or shooting to wound, but not killing many dudes. That finale made me feel like a damn fool. What an awesome episode in a season filled with awesome episodes. I thought Boyd was going to pull a cheesy "I'm Spartacus" moment, and I'm glad he didn't. It's hunting season next year, and it's going to be AWESOME.

They could just roll out one of these hillbilly crime families every season and have Raylon methodically shoot them all and send them to jail. Stick with what works. I'm in.
I see them long, hard (||) times to come (||).

The casting on this show is amazing. In one episode they've established the Bennett clan as a group that's just as entertaining as the Crowders and I think a lot of that is attributable to the actors being perfectly cast.

I liked how they handled the reveal of Doyle Bennett's occupation.
And the young actress playing Loretta was pretty great.
Then there's Mullen calling Raylan "the hillbilly whisperer" in the preview for upcoming episodes.
This already has the makings of another solid season.
Loretta stole the show for me
I like that Art tried to get Raylan transferred out. He's not going to be tolerating so much bullshit this season.
The reveal of Doyle's occupation was good, as was Raylan's look of surprise when Dickie introduced him to a couldn't-give-less-of-a-shit Coover:
"Coover, this here's Raylan Givens"
"So?"
Looking forward to various members of the Bennett family dying in a hail of bullets this season.
"Dammit, Raylan we're reefer growers, we do not associate with sexual deviants!"
Did Jacob touch all of these people to bring them to the hilljack town? (LLIi1||))]

THIS and THAT.
Some things I enjoy about Justified not named Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder:
- Art Mullen
- A braless Winona in a tight skirt
- A braless Winona in a tight dress
- Low-speed chases on foot
- Everything else
I'd like to echo this and just add that Dewey Crowe deserves to be singled out for outstanding achievement in the field of redneck excellence.
I wonder if he washes off the Heil Hitler neck tat when he's between episodes. Like, does he go to dinner with a neckerchief a la Mr. Furley? Or do they have to reapply that shit every time he comes back on set?
Important questions.
Ma Redneck is fucking awesome too. The scene where she poisoned the little girl's dad was one the finest pieces of acting I've seen on television since the Sopranos went off.

Well put. How is Winona not in more things? Or, why is my thing not in Winona?
EDIT: She was in 4 episodes of Hung. So does that mean she got butt ass on cam-er-ah?
She was also on that terrible show on ABC with Donald Sutherland, Shitty Baldwin #1 and the guy from Sports Night/Six Feet Under.

Any scene with Raylan and/or Boyd is automatic gelt. What really pushes this show into greatness is that scenes without those two guys are great too. The old man showdown at the airport between the old bank robber with the oxygen tank and Art was classic.
So, you're saying that all scenes are great? Thanks

That episode would have been the least awesome episode yet if Winona wasn't in almost every scene. But alas...

Imma miss Coover.
Not me. I'm glad they shot that sumbitch. Maggs sure did a number on him though.
Dickie, the crippled brother is the least evil of all three of her sons. I get the impression that he's the least willing to resort to violence. Possibly his injury at the hands of Raylon's Easton has humbled him to the point that he doesn't feel compelled to hurt others. Or maybe he's a ticking time bomb. Raylon killing Coover might be the final straw. Interesting that he called himself the heir apparent to the family business when Raylon was barring him entry to the house. It would seem that his crooked cop brother would hold that mantle. Dickie obviously doesn't see it that way.
"Dickie's first pitch was, heh, Linda Ronstadt: "Blue By You." Great line in an incredible scene on the best show currently airing on TV. This is approaching Sopranos/Wire/Deadwood levels of bonerism. I hope it never gets cancelled and Boyd never gets killed.

Raylan's just staying true to his baby's mama. That's how they do it in Real America.
Did anyone else notice Coover's hilariously bad stunt double the last couple episodes? When he and Raylan were grappling in Mama Bennett's store two episodes ago and when he took down Dickie this last episode. I think Chuck was the stuntman.
Mags is about to do some murderin soon, methinks.

Looked to me like she had something on Mags. Like they needed to lean on Jed and get him to clam up so Dickie could get out and get dealt with more severely than the authorities would allow. Mags' sweet demeanor in the scene with Dickie outside the jailhouse was reminisent of her soothing words while Loretta's pa drew his last.

I bet TPex's genius, yet somehow useless kid brother who has every bootleg of everything ever knows where it's headed. Want maybe I should call him?
When Raylon showed up at Jed's and said, "This looks like fun." I laughed out loud and pressed rewind. When he hit Doyle in the head and took custody of Dickie I did the same. That's twice in about 10 minutes that I couldn't contain my enthusiasm. Not since Stringer got popped have I been up out of my seat cheering for a fucking TV show. But I think I'm headed that way next Wednesday at 9.
Really enjoyed the finale, I just realized they never really explained who that old lady was at the end last week who got Dickie's pal to clam up. But who really cares when you've got Dickie treating Raylan like a pinata and Gutterson sniping Doyle in the face. Interesting that Raylan didn't shoot anyone as opposed to last season's finale when he basically shot everyone.
Where do they go next season? Will the Dixie Mafia get a chance at the spotlight?

Next season will be interesting. Boyd completely outsmarted and destroyed the Bennetts and has full control of Harlan County now. The writers will have to come up with a hell of a criminal organization to provide a believable challenge.
I also wonder what we'll see between Boyd, Arlo and Raylan next season. I'd imagine there will be even more asshurt than usual, since Dickie Bennett managed to survive everything, due to Raylan's actions.

I was wondering the same. Sounds like Raylan is highly motivated to get the fuck out of Kentucky forever. But with Boyd still alive and I assume Ava, I doubt he's done with Harlan just yet. Perhaps Boyd completes his 360 from heel to face back to heel again.

Yeah there's no way Raylan is leaving Harlan. No matter what he tells himself, he's drawn to the place and he'll keep coming back until he gets got.
He'll never leave Harlan alive.

Why whould Jed's mother come in all asshurt and insist that he clam up and take the years? I suppose it's possible. I mean, it happened on The Wire. I think that lady will definitely be heard from again. Boyd will go to war with the Dixie Mafia. Maggie had it right. Boyd's thirst for power will never be quenched.

Because she knew that if he testified against Dickie the Bennetts would kill him? And if the Bennetts couldn't get through whatever protection Jed was getting they'd just go after the rest of the family, including her grandchildren?

I assumed the old lady was the guy's mother.
Why whould Jed's mother come in all asshurt and insist that he clam up and take the years? I suppose it's possible. I mean, it happened on The Wire. I think that lady will definitely be heard from again. Boyd will go to war with the Dixie Mafia. Maggie had it right. Boyd's thirst for power will never be quenched.
Because she knew that if he testified against Dickie the Bennetts would kill him? And if the Bennetts couldn't get through whatever protection Jed was getting they'd just go after the rest of the family, including her grandchildren?
The cop that informed Raylan that Jed had a visitor before he changed his tune said he had no idea who she was and that "we" were trying to find out. Local cops would probably know Jed and his mom. And Jed didn't seem to be the sort of man with a mother powerful enough to go waltzing into Maggie's store to tell her what's what. If it was just Jed's mother they'd have said that. Jed's a nobody. That lady is somebody. This isn't some Gilstory on AMC. This is real writing and shit.
Bump.
Tonight, our long, national nightmare is over.

This was already the best series on TV. I don't know why they thought that they had to add Carla Gugino to the mix. Not that I am complaining.

At first, when I saw the lady in Witness Protection I was thrown because I'd completely forgotten that they sometimes do a "case of the week" story and by sometimes I mean pretty much every single episode except for probably the first and last of a given season. That said I thought it integrated pretty well even if those bozos weren't much of a threat to anyone. It was fun to see Art bust up that hilljack - probably reminded him of his glory days.
But yeah, Carla Gugino? Holy shit. It sounds like Raylan is having some doubts about Winona? Maybe? I don't know. When she started cracking wise about Herman's Head I know, were I Raylan, I'd have been pretty butthurt about it.
But the ending with Limehouse's introduction just upped the ante on what was already going to be a kick ass season. We're definitely going to see more of Desperate Housewife Mike, too with his fancy suits and sleeve guns.
Fuck this show is AWESOME.

I'm gonna say "no". At least, not if he has any say in it.
I'm also gonna say that I'm not convinced we'll see Gugino stick around. That had crossover cameo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Sisco) written all over it.

Desperate what-wives? I tend to think of him as "that guy from that short-lived Donnie-Wahlberg-plus-a-cast-of-thousands show on NBC a while back that I can never seem to remember the title of (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319960/)." Which show I now see (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomtown_(2002_TV_series)) was also a Graham Yost joint. And which I see also featured the guy playing Limehouse.
(I also see now (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Yost) that Yost got his start in the industry writing for "Hey Dude", so modern-day cowboys are nothing new to him. Also: "Herman's Head".)
I like the dynamic they seem to be setting up between Limehouse on the one hand and the new look Dixie Mafia on the other.
No doubt with both Raylan and the Boyd Crowder Gang finding themselves caught in the middle of all-out Oxy war.

I think he makes it. I have nothing to back that up, he just seems kind of like a better educated, better dressed version of Arlo. He doesn't seem to have designs on running things, he just wants to earn a nice living doing what he does best. He knows how to get by.
I should point out that like RV, I'm still one episode behind so if Wynn Duffy spent all last week plotting against Quarles then you can completely disregard this.

I lean towards "survivor", too. But he sits in a precarious spot.
I love that this show has access to a seemingly bottomless (||) supply of terrific character actors.
It's such an embarrassment of riches that they actually brought in Stephen Root's kickass judge character off the bench just to deliver 5 lines in a transition scene* in an episode he had nothing else to do with.
You people who are still clinging to The Walking Dead are getting exactly what you deserve.

...
*And he fucking killed it
The did the same thing with him a couple weeks ago in the wake of Winona's disappearance.
And, according to this interview (http://www.avclub.com/articles/stephen-root,69640/), we should expect to see him at least a couple more times this season.
Not apropos of Justified in any way, but from the aforelinked AV Club interview: the fact that Stephen Root and Wayne Knight are apparently BFFs really pleases me for some reason.
Anyway, did I point out that the entire episode was steakballs? Hard to pinpoint what was the best, but I'll try:
Winona when Raylan asks her if she touched the murder weapon: "What am I, an asshole?"
The homocide detective: "Deputy, that might be the coolest thing I've ever laid ears on."
Art Mullen vs. Agent Barkley
Sarcastic Gutterson
The scene at the end between Wynn Duffy and Raylan. Ton of funny lines in that exchange, but for some reason Duffy's "that was disproved on Mythbusters" fucking killed me.

Not a ton of action in this one but it really sets up a lot of good stuff.
I really enjoyed the humanizing moment when Quarles got a call from his family but instead of picking up the phone, popped an oxy before his meeting with Limehouse.
Gotta love it.

Why do I feel that ultimately Limehouse will be Raylan's major nemesis? (Yeah, yeah, I know. "Rascist!")
I'm many, many episodes up the track, gentlemen. But my Justified boner is thriving in these conditions. An illegal internets viewing marathon is scheduled for this evening following the Purdue/Heat games. See you soon. Kisses. xxoxxoxxxo

You shan't regret it.
Raylan shoots a hole in this lady's ceiling, so to pay for it he has to service her. Sounds fair to me!
I just watched the last episode. Tried to power through in a midnight near-sleep fog and and made it because every goddamn scene had the intensity of 1,000 suns. That shit in the trailer was totally disturbing but obviously gives us quite a peek into Quarles' world. He's one twisted dude. I guess being banged six ways to Sunday by random dudes that your own dad whored you out to for heroin money would do that to a man.
And of course the showdown at the bar before Raylan plowed that cute 'tender with the shotgun was ridiculously awesome. Could have done with out seeing his pasty, albino ass. But I'm sure there was a good reason for it.
The scene between Quarles and the kid was just outstanding. Helped by the expression on Wynn Duffy's face as he realized just exactly what a psychopath he's now tied to. Although in the back of my mind, I kind of wonder if Quarles didn't just make the whole damn thing up on the spot to talk the kid down.
It appears that there's more to Shelby than I suspected. Not sure if he's bullshitting about the cancer or not, but it's clear he's not entirely comfortable with some of Boyd's methods, and a man who can stand down two armed sheriff's deputies who are in the process of planting evidence on his truck is not to be taken lightly. At the very least, he could end up being the WILD CARD in all this.
Boyd Crowder is the smartest politico alive.
Anybody else wondering about Limehouse? Is really allied with somebody here, or just playing both sides against each other? The county clerk is clearly in his pocket (and by extension supposed to be in Quarles' pocket (||)) but twice the guy has had chances to help Quarles and twice he's basically handed Boyd a victory.
Detroit comes calling next week. I am turgid with anticipation.

I think Limehouse would consider Boyd's group less of a threat than Detroit. His motivation is to protect his home and keep things the way they are. Like he said, he knows exactly who Boyd is and probably figures he can crush him if he has to.

I'm finally caught up so TIME TO POST for me too! I have no idea what Limehouse's plan is but he's going to be butchering himself a human before this season is over. It's the little things on this show that take it from damn good to outstanding - Shelby's bit about liver cancer, Jed's grandma asking for two milkshakes.
If you haven't seen it yet, they've been doing post-show interviews like this with Yost every week at EW and there's always a good nugget or two.

Wynn Duffy acting as the meat in a Boyd Crowder-Detroit Mob Boss scheme sandwich is really going to put his survival skills to the test.
Not sure if I want the carnage to begin next week, or it to build up to a complete bloodbath in the finale. Either way, I've got a feeling Quarles is going to pull a Jabba with those chains on at least one of those nice ladies keeping an eye on him.

Really, though... how is it that every single minor role on this show can be filled by the perfect actor for the part?
I mean, I can't be the only one who gets inexplicably giddy when Rick Gomez shows up as Assistant U.S. Attorney Vasquez. Another one-off scene with Stephen Root? Yes. Adam Arkin? Sure.

Ironside is just the latest example of how this show does a great job of characterization through casting. Just the sight of him as the senior henchman gives him a built-in backstory and a high level of implied badassery.

Really, though... how is it that every single minor role on this show can be filled by the perfect actor for the part?
I mean, I can't be the only one who gets inexplicably giddy when Rick Gomez shows up as Assistant U.S. Attorney Vasquez. Another one-off scene with Stephen Root? Yes. Adam Arkin? Sure.
I assure you, you are not.
The truth is, you could probably take any 2-3 characters off Justified and give them their own show, and I'd watch it.

I think that Dickie Bennett's haircut is inspired. Inspired by what I am not sure.

Home Depot.
So now shit has really hit the fan. I almost felt like they could tie it up in this episode but I'm glad there's one more to enjoy.
The one thing that bugs me is that Quarles is smoking heavy doses of oxy and is still able to remain cunning and physically quick enough to elude authorities or other lowlifes at every turn.

I thought Boyd leaving Quarles with only a slow-witted clod and two Oxy skanks to guard him seemed out of character. But it was pointed out elsewhere that Boyd is pretty short-handed at the moment. Ava's probably his most capable henchperson (Arlo's circuits are cooked and Johnny isn't exactly mobile) and he needed Ava to help with the bank.
Otherwise the writing and plotting of last night's episode was great. The Walking Dead writers must've been puzzled by the Justified staff's ability to create drama and tension WITHOUT resorting to the crutch of characters acting like complete morons. The scheming and counterscheming surrounding the bank robbery was impressive.

Yeah, and that damn Wynn Duffy went and got greedy. He had Quarles dead to rights, wanted to try and take Boyd out too and ended up getting neither.
Also, excellent scene where Arlo confronts Boyd over being left out of the robbery. Boyd's reaction to Arlo calling him "Raylan" should win Goggins an Emmy.

There was a series of decisions that led to Quarles staying alive where he would otherwise be dead to rights. Wynn ignored his own advice when Boyd told him he could handle him in the trailer. He said "don't say I didn't warn you".
But these men wouldn't be criminals if they weren't greedy, right?

I bet he's worked up a solid tolerance for the stuff by this point. And you don't get where he's gotten in the Detroit mob while also murder-raping rent boys and freebasing oxy without a talent for multi-tasking.

Also: depending on Johnny to watch both Dickie and Errol without tying them up or something? That guy was easier to subdue than Tinker in Road House.

Agreed. Boyd is getting uncharacteristically sloppy and it's the only thing stopping the past two episodes from being A+ across the board.

Also, Limehouse is clearly still not completely out of the picture. Arlo probably is. Dickie's around too, yes?
The end of Quarles was actually quite satisfying. I wasn't sure how they'd do it and actually wondered if I would be disappointed in it but that was nice and gory and really well done.

Wynn Duffy is my season MVP. Every scene with him and Raylan this year was gold - him losing his shit in the Russian roulette scene was probably my favorite moment of the finale. Long may you run, Wynnebago.
Speaking of that scene - if Raylan didn't palm the bullet that was a line we haven't seen him cross before, no?

QuoteInterms of heroism, there's that great early scene where he's playing Russian Roulette with Wynn. Is there a bullet in that gun, or is that stagecraft by Raylan?
We thought of having a shot, it's a revolver, that we'd be back behind Raylan and see there's no bullet in the gun. And we thought, "Eh, let's not let the audience know." My feeling is Raylan palmed the bullet, just as Glenn Fogle did the first time we saw him play it.

QuoteFunnyman Patton Oswalt is set to pop up on one of TV's acclaimed dramas, with a recurring role in Justified's Season 4.
TVLine has learned exclusively that Oswalt will appear on the FX series as Bob Sweeney, a local constable who went to high school with Raylan and has been hired by the lawman to watch Arlo's house.
Lest anyone suspect Oswalt is dialing it down completely for this visit to Harlan County, know that Bob has a single football tale he tells over and over from his high school glory days, Al Bundy-style, while a bid to help Raylan capture a bail jumper are humorous — and maybe even successful!

Boyd Crowder, snake handler? Hot damn.
Nobody? Nothing? I'll go first...very good opener. I enjoyed Boyd's frustration with the day-to-day drudgery of running a criminal operation. It's all fun and games when you're blowing up meth trailers, but once you've elimnated the competition, it's just like any other desk job.
Also liked Patton Oswalt as the constable. He's just the right mix of sad sack and near competence.
If I had to take one lesson away from last night it's this:
Don't ever turn your back on Arlo Givens.

I was reminded last night of how much I missed this show. Absolutely outstanding episode. (Although I would have liked to see Raylan screw over the teen-aged terrors and their auto-crushing accomplice. It was not enough to see an elbow to the nose and a knife in the foot.) I kind of liked Raylan's prisoner. He was simultaneously threatening and sympathetic. Where have we seen the guy who becomes Boyd's new sidekick before? His voice is familiar but his face wasn't. Maybe it was the long hair?
I think Dewey Crowe should come back and make an honest woman out of Ellen May.

Wow, 2nd episode was great. I still can't decide which scenes were the best:
Boyd vs. Billy the Preacher.
The scene between Boyd and Wynn Duffy.
Art, Gutterson and Raylan road tripping and shooting the shit.
The three marshalls vs. the Truth clan.
Maybe I've seen The Wild Bunch too many times, but when those kids came into the bar singing "Shall We Gather By The River" I was expecting a shootout to start.
Yesterday's episode had more story lines than you could shake a snake at.
Last night's episode was, as the kids used to say around here, "teh balls."
Raylan & Boyd reunited. Tim & Colt gettin some good sidekick commiseration time in. More Deadwood vets than you could shake a cocksuckin stick at.
I like how this Drew Thompson story is bringing all of our favorite knuckleheads together.
I knew that FBI jerkwad was going to get killed. But I was still stunned by it when it happened. That's one of the reasons I love this show so much. Even the stuff I know is going to happen unfolds in a way that is exciting to behold. And there are enough twists and turns and I wish Winona was naked.

You know, the previous episode didn't really excite me all that much (until Ellen May up and R-U-N-N-O-F-T at the end). So the opening to episode 5, with Winona's cameo in the OBGYN waiting room and the FBI vs the Marshalls in another cliched jurisdictional cage match, honestly had me a bit worried that this season had started spinning its wheels. I found myself thinking, "I hope they haven't lost totally the plot here" and, literally a second later, Tobolowsky painted the blinds with his brains. I then punched myself in the dick for ever harboring a doubt.
Also: I don't think I'll ever tire of the way Wynn Duffy can swing from "menacing hard case" to "straight pissing his pants" from situation to situation. Life as a Tonin underboss is a walk along the knife's edge.

It was Mags Bennett. They're chasing a ghost.
I love that they didn't soften Arlo's character at the end. Telling Raylan to kiss his ass was a perfect sendoff for that old sumbitch.
Shelby: "If you pretend to be something long enough, at some point it's not pretending."
Damnit. That's too easy. But again, even though we've probably got this nailed I still expect to be wildly entertained by how this all plays out.
But then again, Shelby is hiding in plain sight with all these Detroit thugs coming hard after him. That's kind of odd.

Yeah, and I'm not totally sure it levels with the description from the Hill People, of Drew Thompson hanging around with Harlan's big wigs. But, then again, I don't remember exactly what was said.

He was talking about Browning's widow. I actually don't think Shelby is Thompson. He doesn't seem ruthless or cutthroat enough, he's far too visible and smart enough to get the hell out of town now that he knows that the secret is out. Also I don't see everybody from Arlo to the former sheriff risking it all to save a secret for a guy like him. It's cool that they've put us on the scent but they have done that with a few others.

Shelby: "If you pretend to be something long enough, at some point it's not pretending."
Damnit. That's too easy. But again, even though we've probably got this nailed I still expect to be wildly entertained by how this all plays out.
But then again, Shelby is hiding in plain sight with all these Detroit thugs coming hard after him. That's kind of odd.
Yeah, and I'm not totally sure it levels with the description from the Hill People, of Drew Thompson hanging around with Harlan's big wigs. But, then again, I don't remember exactly what was said.
But the things that set off the bells in my head were: him talking to Ellen May about his ex-wife and his interest in Drew Thompson's hot widow.
He was talking about Browning's widow.
He showed some interest in hearing about how hot the federally-protected Eve Munro was, too.

It is, although my impression is that these guys aren't covering for Thompson out of altruism - Drew Thompson disappeared with Theo Tonin's money and drugs. Anybody who might have helped Drew stay disappeared for all these years (and presumably got a cut of the loot in the deal) is probably in for some serious retribution from Detroit.
Welp... Even when you see something coming, this show is still exciting and indescribably superb.
It's the Chicago Blackhawks of basic cable dramas.
Also: time to pack myself a go bag.
Interesting: "We both know whose voice it is tellin' you to do what you do."
Here are lawmen on the wrong side of the law. Using their power for their own ends pretending to be what they never were. The difference between Shelby and Hunter and Raylan seems to be that they know they're fakes and Raylan still clings to some Justification for bending the shit out of the rules.
Anybody else think those blows to Shelby's head after his botched suicide were truly meant for Arlo?

Something strange occured during the roadside scene between Raylan and Hunter. There was a brief (you missed it if you blinked) shot of Raylan standing next to his car that was completely out of the temporal flow of the scene. This is not film with frames that can be edited, so somehow there was a digital glitch. Or was there?

"First thing we are gonna do is we are going to acknowledge that this guy is awesome!"
"He shoots Theo Tonin, fakes his own death in a spectacular fashion, pushes a guy out of an air plane WHILE he is flying it, parachutes into Harlan county with enough coke and cash to jump start the economy of a small country. And then he has the BALLS to get a job in law enforcement, not once but two times. He spends a couple of days riding around with you while you're looking for him. And now he's run off with a hooker that's half his age. That's some bad ass shit."
If Art does eventually retire, I'd totally watch a spin-off about he and his wife driving around in their RV solving crimes.
Also, Wynn Duffy has a sleep mask. Because of course he does.

The scene of Art acknowledging Shelby/Drew's greatness was itself great.
Did you notice how much altruism and empathy was demonstrated in this episode? Shelby twice trying to save Ellen May. Boyd and his girlfriend trying to play Solomon in deciding whether to give Ellen May a chance to survive, even if she spits in their faces. Ellen May trying to save Shelby's life. Wynn Duffy suggesting to his flunky that he get out of town to save his life. The writing and plotlines of this show are too good for TV.

Art's speech was hands down the highlight of the season for me so far. I'm hoping they give Drew Shelby at least one long monologue in these upcoming episodes to explain hisself because (a) Jim Beaver is awesome and (b) I'm still not entirely sure I follow Drew's backstory.
Ho-lee shit. Great episode.

I also really liked the backstory of Drew & Arlo meeting in Vietnam - now it makes sense to me that Drew came to Harlan. Only question I have left is why he shot Theo - there's gotta be something juicy there.

Loved the exchange between Raylan and Boyd's junior henchman.
"Why you gotta be such a dick?"
"It's my job to be a dick. It would be weird if I was nice."
I'm thinking Wynn Duffy is going to play a serious WILD CARD role next week.
I swear, Ellen May has somehow managed to develop looking kinda sad and pathetic into some sort of superpower.
I've never liked Julia Roberts either, but thanks to Art I now realize why. She DOES look too much like Eric.
RV, I hope you're right about Wynn Duffy. I assume he'll pop again here somewhere, as he presents a pretty major loose end for the Detroit crew (what with him witnessing Nicky Augustine off an FBI agent and all), but part of me hopes that FX is going to give us a spin-off show about an impeccably dressed, asexual gangster on the run from his old life who opens a lumberjack bar in the Yukon Territory.

I don't know. I think it's probably as equally about Boyd and Raylan as ever.
I swear, there's been about 10 different scenes where it's Raylan apparently outmanned/outgunned and he tells the baddies that they should just give up or else it's going to go poorly for them, but I'll be damned if it doesn't make me insanely happy -- every fucking time.
If I were you, I'd drop my gun. Lay down on my tummy, and put my hands behind my head.
You would?

The final scene where Raylan is looking at his father's freshly-dug grave and the haunting notes of "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" fill the whole place with dread and doom, that's not about Boyd. It's about Raylan. Though the same is also true of Boyd. He'll never leave Harlan alive.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Art and the AUSA dude know that Raylan set Nicky up. There is a rat in that office, whoever told Theo's people that Shelby was gumming up his deal on account of Ellen May. Unless I missed it, we never found out who let that information out - Shelby was being held in top secret with nobody allowed to speak with him, including his attorney.
Raylan may have to answer for setting Nicky up to be executed. And he may be out of a job and on his way to the dark side for good.

Yeah, I was wondering if that's going to be pursued. Tonin had pretty easy access to the FBI office, they've probably got somebody on the inside with the Marshals too. Shit, it wouldn't shock me that much if they've got the AUSA in their pocket.

Dark side? Really? Raylan sat across from Nicky Augustine, listened to him threaten his family and didn't pull the trigger on him. If anything was going to push him over, it was that. I don't think Art gives a shit what happened to Nicky as long as the bullet didn't come out of Raylan's gun.

Of course it's not the same thing as far as the law is concerned. But it's another layer of ambiguity. I don't think Raylan is going Walter White or anything but the question keeps coming up: What makes you think that you're the good guy? His hatred for Arlo drives him more than any altruistic motive. That's apparent. This is Luke Skywalker only not so clearly verbalized.
I assume this (http://www.avclub.com/articles/michael-rapaport-joining-justified-probably-feedin,103531/)means we'll be seeing more Dewey Crowe this season.
QuoteTV Line reports that the fifth season will introduce Michael Rapaport as Dale Crowe Jr., the "sexy and charismatic patriarch of a white-trash Florida crime family," whose "sexy charisma" mostly involves sounding like a hyperactive Brooklyn guy, we're assuming. Dale is an ex-con (we say redundantly, as this is Justified) who's also a relative of Boyd's idiotic associate Dewey Crowe, though far smarter and savvier, even more so than on the Crowe sliding scale

I would agree with you a bit there Stew. The body count was pretty damn high (I counted 10 if Paxton's beating proves fatal) and it was a rare episode that took place almost entirely outside Harlan.
Anyway, it was basically a big setup episode, where some pretty major old pieces were swept off the board to make room for some new ones. Looking forward to it.
Thoughts:
Dewey Crowe, David Vasquez, Judge Reardon and Raylan makes for a strong cold open.
Whatever you want to say about Nicky Augustine and Robert Quarles, they certainly had the measure of Sammie Tonin.
Boyd and Wynn Duffy should take more road trips.
In an episode with a lot of killing, there was one character I was certain would catch a bullet, and I was glad he didn't.
I hope we are going to see more of Dave Foley and Will Sasso as the semi-polite Canadian gangsters.
Best running gag: Boyd's increasing consternation with being asked about his ear wound.
I thought Michael Rappaport was good as the head of the Florida Crowes. I'll leave it to Apex to judge his sexiness.

They must have an increased Guest Star budget because there were a ton of them in this episode - they were even consistent with bringing back the same actor as Raylan's boss from the pilot. Only downside to this one was no Gutterson.
Yeah they were telegraphing the hell out of Koechner meeting his demise but glad he didn't. Nice move to have a family man around to weigh on Raylan's conscience for being a deadbeat.
Speaking of body counts, looking forward to Boyd & Wynn connecting with the Mexican cartels. That should end well for everyone.
I remember the early days when Raylan's hat was a star of the show. They never talk about his hat anymore. Ah. The good old days.

Very good first episode. The good things about this show - the characters and the dialogue remain undefeated.
I was very confused by the last scene however. Why in the hell would Paxton taunt Boyd that way, knowing full well he'd end up dead? I don't understand that. Anybody have any clue?

Boyd does have a thing for widows of murdered husbands. Maybe he figures Ava is done for and he wants to trade up? That would be very disappointing.

I think Paxton thought the cards he was holding re: Ava's judge gave him carte blanche to taunt Boyd. Oops. And yes I think Boyd leaving the widow was a signal that he still has some morality to him.

Very good first episode. The good things about this show - the characters and the dialogue remain undefeated.
I was very confused by the last scene however. Why in the hell would Paxton taunt Boyd that way, knowing full well he'd end up dead? I don't understand that. Anybody have any clue?
I'm not clear on that myself. I'm also not sure why Boyd would leave a witness.
Boyd does have a thing for widows of murdered husbands. Maybe he figures Ava is done for and he wants to trade up? That would be very disappointing.
I think Paxton thought the cards he was holding re: Ava's judge gave him carte blanche to taunt Boyd. Oops. And yes I think Boyd leaving the widow was a signal that he still has some morality to him.
Wade Messer: "Hey Raylan - can I get you a blow job or somethin?"
I'm not going to give Boyd that kind of credit. My thought was that Paxton taunted him enough that he decided he'd take the deal and confess to the murder, and realized that he didn't need Paxton around to go through with it (and if he's going to confess, might as well tack another murder on there).
Although it seems pretty clear from the season previews that Boyd will NOT be doing that.

RV's idea that maybe he thought Boyd wouldn't kill him because of Ava's judge doesn't make sense either. Because he was taunting him about failing to take the fall for her. If he was counting on willingness to do anything to save Ava, it seems odd that he'd be declaring that to be untrue.
It's a problematic scene. Maybe it's just poorly written, a mistake that we're not supposed to think about. This show's not perfect. But strange events like this tend to become more clear later on.
Let's just earmark it and circle back later.

Casting on this show is great across the board. Hell, even David Koechner fit in.
And now Loretta's back, too. Maybe.
Relatedly, I don't know if this is actually new, but I noticed that Jere Burns is now getting opening credits billing. Which suggests a regular dose of Wynn Duffy.
Hopefully with an eye towards a backdoor pilot for CT's proposed buddy spinoff with Art Mullen and an Airstream trailer.
Quote from: R-V on January 09, 2014, 12:13:32 PMthey were even consistent with bringing back the same actor as Raylan's boss from the pilot.
He showed up in Season 2, too, when Raylan went down to there after the Miami cartel drug runners from Season 1.
And IMDB says (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002023/) he appeared in last season's finale, too, but I can't recall the context.

"Hello, Cousin Johnny."
This was one of their weaker episodes. No, I'm not calling it a bad episode, but it's weak by this show's standards. I think the show is really scattered right now as they spend equal time covering the stories of Raylan, Boyd and the fantastic Dewey Crow. I think the comic relief that Dewey's family adds to the show is entertaining and I would watch at least one full season of a Crows spinoff. But it's getting trite. Neither Raylan or Boyd seem to be focused on anything other than themselves right now. Raylan's kind of a philandering bum with a gun and Boyd is in survival mode.
It's all typical, well-written and well-performed Justified fodder. But if the point is that Raylan's not focused and Boyd is not well and by the way, LOL Dewey, then this season runs the risk of being a throwaway. I wondered at the conclusion of last season if Raylan's demons (Arlow-induced self-loathing and aggression) were going to overcome him. That seems to be the case a little as he can't bear to be around his ex-wife and infant daughter, and would rather fool around with this floozy and beat on no-account thugs to defend her "honor." That's not really enough. If he's going bad, let's have him go semi-Vic Mackey. If not, let's find a bad-baddy for him to duel with.
Hell, let's see him go head up with Boyd for two seasons and call it quits.

I feel like the pattern with this show is that the season starts off a bit meandering (with the exception of last year's Drew Thompson story which carried us through most of the early portion of the season) before the threads start coming together at about the halfway point. The show is so much better when Raylan & Boyd are interacting, but it's just not practical for that to hai every week.

I think they fall in love with certain characters (Boyd, Dewey, Duffy) and keep giving them to us because they enjoy them whether it hamstrings the story or not. I'm ok with this because the actors are so great at their jobs but this episode felt like hanging out smoking a joint when you should be working on the script for your hit cable tv show. Again, I didn't hate it. I just want to see where they're going and feel like they've taken a short break. The Boyd storyline with the Russian broad isn't entertaining me and I still haven't the slightest idea why that dumbass decided to taunt him and thought he could get away with it. Kind of up and down right now, but up and down for this show is better than 99% of shit on TV ever.

I felt exactly the opposite. I think this last episode was about sacrificing some cool shit happening right now for sake of advancing the countless storylines they appear to be setting up so that some cool shit can go down later.
Yeah, it's a bit "scattered" right now (Boyd alone is getting pulled in four different directions—more if, say, Hot Rod's crew comes to bear on him somehow), but I read that as just that more more potential for all of these characters and stories to link up into something really tight. There's just some work they need to put in up front to set the stage.
With next season reportedly being the last, the writers are probably even starting to put the ultimate conclusion in their sights. And, while we're probably not quite in all-bets-are-off territory yet when it comes to Boyd (and Raylan), we're inching closer.
At this point, I trust that this show knows exactly what it's doing. And this season feels to me like it's shaping up to be anything but a "throwaway".

Maybe they're going to try to frame or set up Johnny and Hot Rod with them.
I noticed that Johnny told Ava he would, "come and get her." He may have a plan to bust her out, with the help of the rather large lesbain guard who beat the shit out of Officer Rapey Midget. Hot Rod may have some pull around there. Johnny obviously wasn't connected like that to begin with.

I haven't undertaken such a study, but I believe that a study of the Bible would show that God intervenes more on the side of violence than on the side of mercy. (The last time that I was in a synagogue the Torah portion described how a group challenged Moses' leadership. So God ordered all of them to gather up their families, their servants, and their animals, and when they did God opened up the Earth and it swallowed the whole lot.!)

Apparently he didn't like Justified (http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/02/05/justified-shot-all-to-hell/). They definitely made the most out of it - I'm now interested in a Crowe other than Dewey. Danny is insane.
QuoteAnd the idea for Danny to shoot Jean-Baptiste?
Listen, we make our best efforts early on in the season as we hire actors to come on the show, and we can't always guarantee them what they're gonna be doing or where it's gonna go. Getting Edi Gathegi was a big get for us, but the character just wasn't panning out for him. He didn't see where it was going, and even though we were thinking that Jean-Baptiste would survive until toward the end of the season, Edi wasn't enjoying the journey. We had no contract to hold him to, so we said, "Well, let's kill off Jean-Baptiste in episode 5." We weren't sure how we were gonna do it, and then we watched the scene between Jean-Baptiste and Danny, and it became clear that there was such animosity there, that man it could work. So the scene got adjusted to play it this way.

I can't help but think the line about Art being "done with Holder" was a tribute to the fact that Nick Searcy is a right wing loon.
Holy SHIT! I did not know about those Entertainment Weekly recaps with the Executive God Damn Producer.
And here I sat and tried to analyze shit and they don't even want you to. They want you to know everything.
BUT!!! Remember that scene from episode one that I had a problem with, where Boyd beats down Paxton? Yeah...
QuoteBoyd learned that Ava's case has been assigned the honest judge. He went to Lee Paxton (Sam Anderson) to try to bribe him for help with the judge. Then Paxton made him beg and said that he'd get Ava off if Boyd says he killed Delroy and forced Ava to move the body. We've talked before about how hard it was for Walton to sit there in that scene during last season's swinger party episode while the Clover Hillers got the upper hand on Boyd. What feedback did you get this time?
Yost:
It was tough for Walton, but the difference is this time he gets to beat the sh-t out of the guy [Laughs] so he could get past it. And yet, it's a little bit like Dilly shooting the Coast Guard guy. A little bit like Darryl having Danny kill Dilly. Boyd beating the sh-t out of Paxton was not the smartest move: If Paxton dies, he's got a statement saying that Ava moved the body, so Ava's kinda screwed. But he couldn't help it.
So not only did I have a problem with that scene, Coggins had issues with a related one last year. That scene was a little bit off. The whole Paxton storyline seemed off as a result. I'm glad he's dead.

I think you're misinterpreting that. It wasn't that Walton Goggins had a problem with the scene itself, just that filming it was tough for him
emotionally...

QuoteIn terms of [blackmailing Boyd]: Walton loved the scene — he loved Boyd being in the jam — but it was just so, so hard for him to just sit there and take that from those guys. It just drove Walton crazy. He just wanted to pull and kill them all. It was a difficult scene. The other actors were thinking, "Did we say something to upset him?" And it's like, "No. Walton's just identifying with Boyd."
In fact, you can probably look at the ill-considered beat-down you have a nagging beef with as a logical conclusion to this. This time Boyd couldn't restrain himself.

I think it would be best for me to go back to that previous episode and see what circumstances led to Boyd taking the abuse. That's the disconnect and it's probably necessary to have that backstory fresh in order to view that scene with Paxton correctly. My problem was never with Boyd thrashing him. That part I get. I just couldn't figure out why Paxton thought he could get away with taunting him in the first place - unarmed. It bothers me enough that I will go back and find that scene.

IIRC Boyd and Ava were at the Clover Hill party to sniff around for information on Drew Thompson. At that point, Boyd couldn't afford to alienate them, while they assumed that Boyd would do what they told because his old man had operated that way.

I think the point was that Paxton was arrogant to a fault. You'd think Boyd's actions last season might have disabused him somewhat of his presumptions of putting this hillbilly in his place. But I guess Paxton felt he came out back on top in the end, and that he had Boyd caught in a perfect trap. And damned if he wasn't gonna gloat.

It's remarkable how much prestige Raylan has lost. He's almost at Don Draper levels of disrespect around his office, although he does do his job well occasionally. Basically, he's in free-fall. His talk of a transfer feels pathetic too. He would be best off moving back to Florida, moving in with Wynona and finding a new line of work - head of security for some huge company perhaps. We'll see if Raylan finds his way back to respectability in time for the show to sign off forever. I can't say I have a preference for how he turns out. But given that this show is known for big payoffs and conclusions, I can't see Raylan ending up dead in a swamp somewhere with Boyd going on to rule the Dixi Mafia with an iron fist.

Who the hell knows? These writers throw us so many curveballs, I feel like I should just quit trying to suss out where this show is headed and enjoy the ride. The last three episodes alone have given us a season's worth of plot twists.
And I admit it... I totally bit on the Cousin Johnny head fake last night. I mean, I didn't really think Boyd was about to meet his end or anything, but I did think Ava was writing a prison check Boyd wouldn't be able to cash in the near term. (Then again, maybe she was. Because then Daryl Junior and Danny up and happened.)

I've never known him not to freak out about shit that doesn't go his way. I didn't see Danny pulling an "I HAD TO GET IT ON!" call back to the film "Heat" but I know I should have.

I had no doubt that Boyd would get out of that fix. And by the time we saw Johnny's boys getting set to open the truck I'd realized the jig was up. But up to that point I still totally thought we'd be headed at least to next week with him still in hilljack custody. Then I thought everything was cool again. Then Danny. Then Johnny.
I'm just impressed at how readily these writers can turn the plot on a dime without losing any momentum.

On this show, you've got your good guys, your bad guys and your evil guys. You're usually given a set of bad guys and the trick is to decide which one is just a lowlife crook and which one is a demented sociopath who will execute a group of enemies with a machine gun or choke out his black girlfriend on a hunch. I have a feeling that Raylan has drifted over to the bad side of things, which as this show has shown us is not the worst place to be. But it's not where we found him when the show started.

I'm trying to figure why some of the crew at Audrey's were arrested & had to be bailed out (Darryl) and some weren't (Boyd).
Also trying really hard to give a shit about Ava's storyline.

Don't watch previews. Too many of them spoil interesting or surprising things that I don't want to know in advance.
From what I've read about "the 21 foot rule" a large part of its effectiveness is the element of surprise. Supposedly the guy with the knife can cover the 21 feet in the time it takes an officer to identify the threat, then draw his gun and fire 2 rounds. So by warning the guy about what he's going to do, Danny is pretty much negating a major element of the rule in that the threat is identified and the officer is obviously not going to hesitate to draw on him.
Which is exactly what I'd expect from a dumbass like Danny Crowe.
Prediction: he tries this bullshit with Raylan and makes it maybe 3 strides before getting perforated.
"Uh, Raylan, may I be excused from the table?"
"No, you may not."
Doesn't look like much on paper but the way those two delivered those lines was hilarious and an example of my favorite thing about this show.

Ah Dewey Crowe, my favorite hapless criminal.
As soon as that old lady went back into her house I thought, "she's coming back with a gun" but knowing that didn't make it any less funny.
Then he manages to beat up a guy and take back his gator teeth necklace, quite probably his second or third greatest victory in the history of the show (No. 1 being winning his lawsuit and potential no. 2 being the time he impersonated Raylan while committing armed robbery).
Which he then caps off by busting in on Daryl and Boyd, stealing their heroin and confessing to Wade Messer's murder over a live wire that the Feds were listening to.
All that, and he still doesn't know what third person is. I kind of hope he gets reunited with Dickie Bennett in prison, but if this is it for Dewey Crowe on Justified, it was a hell of a way to go out.

That definitely had the feel of a final farewell to Dewey.
But maybe they can work in a cameo or something next season.

It looks like Damon Herriman is attached to a couple of series for next year, so I'd guess we've seen the last of Dewey.

Not if I am writing the script. I would have the prosecutor mis-calendar his preliminary hearing and violate Dewey's right to a speedy trial resulting in the court setting him loose.

That doesn't necessarily mean he couldn't be squeezed in for a stray appearance or two like they did with Winona after Natalie Zea booked "The Following" and "Under the Dome".
Or with Jimmy this season... Poor Jimmy.

I noticed that one of Dewey's chicks yelled, "Worldstar!" as she filmed the fight with their loyal customer. That means, we may find Dewey, here (http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/) in the not so distant future. So there's that.

I heard that, too. And I laughed.
I was pretty meh on the finale. Danny and Dewey Crowe were great this season but Darryl, Wendy and Kendall were just not interesting at all to me. Is it heresy to say that I'm kind of done with Boyd as a character? So many great scenes over the years but I think they've kept him around past the point of credulity even within the heightened reality of the Justiverse. I'm ready for a new nemesis for Raylan but it looks like the final season will be focusing on Boyd and Ava.
While Wendy's idiocy stretched beyond belief for me (she really thought Kendal shot Art until that moment?!?) I did enjoy Darryl's antics this season. Unlike the other master criminals that have populated Kentucky, Darryl had only the vaguest goal (work for Boyd? Become Boyd's partner? Make money and go back to Florida?) and no real plan for accomplishing that goal, other than to insert himself into every situation and do whatever appears to give him the most leverage. It was kind of fun to see all these characters on both sides of the law put together intricate plans only for Darryl come smashing into the scene and completely fuck up everything.
The finale did seem pretty low key though, more concerned with setting up Season 6 than ending Season 5. But it's always good to see Rachel and Tim get screen time (their relative absence is probably my biggest disappointment in this season).
Anyway, the table is set for Raylan vs. Boyd, the final battle. Now we just have to sit back and wait for it.
Is anybody else planning on watching "Fargo"?

And yes.
Well, this seems promising:

DPD
SPOILER ALERT - Read no further if you haven't seen the season premiere yet.
Good start to the final season. No Sam Elliot and only a little Garret Dillahunt but this was more about setting up our old friends Boyd, Ava and Raylan on the chessboard or whatever it is game they're playing. So, we got some classic Raylan, with him pulling off shit he should never get away with, Boyd masterminding a sweet bank heist and our favorite dumbass criminal's swan song. And it's nice to see Raylan and Art back on speaking terms.
- His boys are pissed it ain't cash, but it seems pretty obvious that the notebook that Boyd came away with in the safe deposit box robbery is going to be a major plot point this season, right?
- Karl's probably the smartest henchman Boyd's ever had. So I'm certain he knows that being the only guy who can point law enforcement to Dewey isn't good for him. I'm guessing Dewey Crowe might have one last cameo this season.
- I was glad there was more screen time for Gutterson, and hopefully we'll be getting more Rachel as well.
- Nice to see that Ava's keeping Chekhov's gun in her nightstand.
- Vaya con dios, Dewey. Hopefully you were an organ donor so that your 4 kidneys don't go to waste.
All he needed was a $6 blow job.
I think they've made Boyd such a likable villain that it's difficult for them to ramp up to an all-time great denouement between he and Raylan without first dragging him down several pegs. The cold-blooded murder of poor old Dewey seemed like an obvious ploy to get us going in that direction. I understand the need to do that but I think they've waited too long.
All along there have been bad and evil villains on this show. Boyd has been so human, and Walter Goggins' portrayal of him so magnificent that I have always viewed him as more than just the cartoonish bad-baddies that have taken up much of Raylan's time during the first four seasons. It feels like they're just shifting over to Boyd because there's nothing left for Raylan to do than to tie up that loose end before he moves to Florida to be with his wife and daughter.
I actually think it would be awesome if Boyd and Raylan end up killing each other at the end. You'll never leave Harlan alive and what not so there you go.
I believe that plot twists in this show are dictated by the production's budget and actors' movie contracts.

Great episode. Evil Boyd is rounding into form, which says more about Goggins than the writing if you ask me. The Boyd/Raylan scene at Buddy Garrity's office was the absolute shit. I'm going to miss this show so much.

Had that same thought basically the entire hour. The interactions between Raylan/Tim and Garret Dillahunt's Gang of Knuckleheads were vintage Justified. Basically any scene with Choo Choo was gold. And I look forward to a future scene of Sam Elliott carving someone's eyeballs out with a spoon while soothing them with his amazing voice.

I thought this season was going to be about Evil Boyd versus Saint Raylon. BUT NO!!!! Boyd is once again embroiled in all out war with the bad-bad-baddies and Raylon is just everywhere he's supposed to be to fuck everybody over and say awesome shit in every scene he's in.

Sorry, sorry, I just got caught up on Episodes 2 & 3 last night. I can now confirm that the two most disturbing images I've ever seen in my life are:
1. Wynn Duffy emerging from a tanning bed wearing nothing but a banana hammock.
2. Sam Elliott without his mustache.
I am loving this season. All logic dictates to me that Boyd must die in the end, and even though he's facing an extremely dangersous opponent (I'm not sure I can remember Boyd ever being that deferential to anyone) and appears to be completely outclassed in the henchman department (RIP JIMMMY), I still can't think that he's somehow going to get out of this.

For the record, we have now seen Wynn Duffy covered in the blood of a safe-cracker, a Detroit mob enforcer, and an FBI agent. Did I miss anyone?
I think I could sit and watch Sam Elliott and Tim Olyphant parley for the rest of the season. Hell, Sam Elliott and anyone. I love that they've got Guterson out in the field with Raylan this season, he's always good for at least one great line a week (this week's highlight: dying between Sigourney Weaver's thighs). This (https://tv.yahoo.com/blogs/tv-news/justified-trash-snake-postmortem-212206859.html) is a great nugget from Yost on the aftermath of the Wiz explosion:
QuoteThe one thing that got cut out is, we had a follow-on scene where Boyd and Duffy go back to the Wiz's house to clean up, because they got the guts on them, and in comes Bridget [the girl with the snake], who was named in honor of Bridget Fonda, who was in Jackie Brown. She realizes the Wiz is dead, and she's furious, and Duffy gives her $10,000 to shut up, and he says, "And I mean, shut up. I mean you don't talk to anyone, and you stop talking now." And she says, "Well, this is the start," and he shoots her in the head. "I told you to stop talking."
One of the things that was going to come out in the scene was that it was her who had called the Wiz and rang his cell phone, which set off the explosives. We liked the idea of the Wiz being truly hoisted on his own petard — which, by the way, a petard was a grenade of some sort way back when. So he blows up on his own. We shot it, and we just felt that with the propulsion of the episode, it just wasn't necessary. Part of it was, we wanted to re-establish Duffy's badassery, but you know, you've had Jere Burns, you don't need to re-establish that.

Prior to his appearance on this show, I had no idea whether or not Sam Elliot had an upper lip. Seeing him without his moustache I am still not certain whether that is an upper lip.
The only possible complaint I could have about this season is that with so many excellent characters/actors there isn't enough screen time to go around. We definitely could have used some scenes of Wynn and Mikey playing Scrabble in season 5.

They could kill off Ava. That would help.
I understand the point of showing a heart to heart with Raylon/Wynona and Boyd/Ava back-to-back again and again. It makes sense to cross those two love stories together and show how loving these two men who will clearly never leave Harlan alive can doom a woman in different ways. But this show is so much more entertaining when good guys and bad guys are going head up and dumbass crooks are caught up in the hellfire. When I said it would help if they killed off Ava, i don't mean because I don't like her character. And Joelle Carter has done a magnificent job in that role for what that's worth.
But she and Wynona slow the show down, nice as they both are to look at.
Anyway this season is shaping up to be one hell of a sendoff. I can't wait to see the rest of it, but absolutely hate that it's ending.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2015/03/03/justified-recap-the-hunt/
But Neely Tucker who does the recaps for The Washington Post reminds us that in Elmore Leonard's world of lore, Ava would be the one who gets away with the money and a fresh start. We'll see.
I had myself a Justified two-banger and watched both "Alive Day" and "The Hunt" last night.
This is the only show I know of that could introduce a character like Choo Choo as comic relief, give the guy a heart-breaking back story, develop him into a sympathetic character, make me despair for his obviously imminent demise, and then make me laugh again when he's robbed of the poetic death by namesake that he sought.
Tim Gutterson forever.
Also, when will poor Nelson ever catch a fucking break?
I'm glad they at least had Ava come clean to Boyd, because as much of a blind spot as he had for her, it was beginning to strain credibility that Boyd wouldn't catch on. And while I agree with Pex that the relationship stuff slowed the show down quite a bit, it was obviously done for contrast purposes, and as Natalie Zea's not going to be available throughout the season, I'm cool with them going with one episode that's heavy on her character since we may not see her again until the finale.
I don't want this show to end.
I loved Katherine's incredulous "it's 9:30 in the morning" reaction to Wynn eating guacamole, as she's reaching to pour herself a bourbon. That's Kentucky, I guess. Also, Mikey is another one of this shows bit players who has taken their small part and just owned it.
I felt for Walker a little bit at the end, but I will say that in a series that has always had its share of violence, his murder of those two paramedics in the previous episode struck me as one of the most cold blooded acts I'd seen on Justified.
The scene with Katherine and Art was the balls, although my fear is that if Art starts poking his nose back in things he might get retired permanently.
I have seen television characters burn possessions as way to symbolically put the past behind them before, but I enjoyed that Tim totally called Raylan out for wrecking his lawn.
I keep wondering if Karl isn't going to end up being the wild card in all this. He's Boyd's smartest henchman ever by a long shot, he clearly wasn't pleased when Boyd basically told Zachariah that he considers his guys to be disposable, he knows where Dewey Crowe's body is buried and if I'm not mistaken his dumbass brother Earl is still wearing Dewey's gator tooth necklace.

Well with Karl & Earl both in the stir now, if Raylan can prove to them that Boyd hung them out to dry, they could be his downfall. Highlights of the latest installment:
Mikey pulling about 12 weapons off of Wynn's person
Loretta's aunt talking some serious shit to Markham
Ava completely upending my expectations of a Raylan/Boyd showdown
DPD. This (https://www.yahoo.com/tv/justified-trust-recap-postmortem-graham-yost-114532782635.html) is amusing.
QuoteDid Raylan think about shooting the truck's tires as Ava drove away?
No. This goes back to Speed, the movie I [wrote]. Have I told you this?
I think so, when we talked for the movie's 20th anniversary. But let's hear it again.
I was reading Janet Maslin's review in The New York Times, and she says, "When he's running after the bus, which is now not yet going 50, so the bomb has yet to be set, why doesn't he shoot out the tires?" I remember reading the review and going, "Oh crap, why doesn't he?" I honestly never even thought about it.
And Raylan doesn't look down right away to help Boyd either.
The scene, as shot, went on longer, and he actually kneeled down and checked in on Boyd. The feeling was that he really should be focused on Ava, and what we didn't shoot would be him pulling his phone and saying, "We've got a runner." The other thing, honestly, shooting the tires, you can still drive on rims. She's not going to stop. "I don't want to damage the rims on my getaway truck." She would just keep driving. She's got the keys from the other car, so Raylan can't go after her. That's the car they came in, the getaway car. So, there you go. There's your answer. It would have served no purpose to shoot the tires. Raylan's a Harlan boy: He doesn't want to damage a nice pickup truck.
There we go.
I'm good at rationalizing.
Goddammit Carl.
Goddammit Mikey.
GODDAMMIT NELSON
Goddamn.
Tough to let this show go.
Goddamn.
That was a beautiful ending. Very true to the writings of Elmore Leonard.
I'll miss this show forever.
I don't believe that Raylan was sentimental enough to care about Boyd because they dug coal together. But he knew that it meant something to Boyd and he could use it to appeal to him in hopes he'd believe his story about Ava. It appears Boyd bought it.
Does Raylan seem happy with his new life in Florida? I don't think so but he does in fact seem less angry. This really is not a happy ending. It's terribly sad.

The only possible complaint I could have about this season is that with so many excellent characters/actors there isn't enough screen time to go around. We definitely could have used some scenes of Wynn and Mikey playing Scrabble in season 5.
They could kill off Ava. That would help.
No, Peck.

Also: Wynn Duffy as the big winner in the Avery Markham Big Big Bag of Drug Money Sweepstakes is so damn perfect and hilarious and right.
The whole goddamn thing was outstanding. There were just a ton of little moments in that final episode that stuck me as...perfect.
Sam Elliot pulling up that chair to Ava.
Ava's gasp when Boyd pulled the trigger on that empty chamber.
Loretta stepping on Boon's hand.
Boyd's kid having his shirt buttoned all the way up.
Funny that Boyd, a character who was supposed to die in the pilot of the show managed to make it out alive.
I couldn't agree more on Wynn Duffy.
I will miss this show a ton, but there's something to be said for it going out at the peak of its powers.
The first five seasons are all free to stream on Amazon Prime Instant Video so it looks like a rewatch of the series is in order.
I forgot how great the first interaction with Dewey was.
