Justified

New FX series featuring Timothy Olyphant and based on an Elmore Leonard (executive producer) short story.

Pretty good, but I've had a jones for more Timmy O. since HBO cancelled Deadwood. US Marshall Raylan Givens (Olyphant) is re-assigned from Miami to Kentucky, his home state, following a shooting on South Beach.

Old girlfriends, ex-wives and bomb/gun happy skin-heads round out the cast of characters.

Fun and crude...all that I expect in an FX series.

When's it on, Wes?

Only shows I'm watching regularly are the two NCIS series.

It wasn't bad. Some of the characters were caricatures, though. I needed a little more exposition on the Boyd relationship. Killing that guy off in episode one seemed to be a bad move overall. How quickly it escalated from "howdy ray, here's some hooch" to "get your ass out of town or I'm gonna kill you" didn't work well.

The scene on the balcony with the ex didn't ring true.

The pacing was a little slow, too.

It's got potential. I'll give it another episode or two to see if it's something I care enough about to keep coming back.

Games are moderately fun, though.

That's where I am with it.

Boyd did not die. Tim O. looks like Billy Bob Thornton at times; the way he smiles and his voice.

I think it works better as a mini-series even though Kentucky still owns some one of a kind characters. It has limitations like a three part Walking Tall that's stretched far too thin or the Tom Selleck series where it is set in a small town. Deadwood was great and I guess that is why I'm pulling for anything even mildly connected to work out.

The new season started last night.

I love Patton Oswalt (in general, really) as Constable Bob. "Pull on me, Raylan!"

The bounty hunting side-job is a lame diversion. Bring back a badass enemy a la Quarles, please.

The showdown with Boyd and the snake handler should be excellent.

R A Y L A N !

This is B O Y D.

Don't shoot, RAYLAN!

You did great, Bob.

I stabbed a teenager in the foot.

Why did Raylan's dad slash that inmate's windpipe at the end?

The inmate knew the bagman.

A simple lie detector test to prove he was lying would have been much easier...and cleaner.

It is a fucking crime that Walton Goggins isn't a bigger star.

His scene with the preacher was so strong. You knew he was going to out-scripture the snake-handler.

Glad to see Wynne Duffy back on the scene. He was overshadowed by Quarles' bat-shit craziness and has some potential as an entertaining foil to Raylan.

The kids want their fucking gov't check. I'm already a bit tired of the Waldo Truth/bag story. It needs to move forward in some significant way...soon.

Filo Beddo for Constable Bob was a shitty trade.

Agreed on Walter Goggins. Dude has been great in every role I've seen him play. I also believed Jeremy Davies plays a strong role as Dickie Bennett, and I'm missing him already.

Tuesday nights have become my "go to" night for TV. I'll normally flip channels for a while at night, checking out sports for the most part. I have a few shows I like to watch but don't care either way if I miss them. Deadliest Catch is another must watch each season. But Tuesday, from 8:00-10:00. Ultimate Fighter and Justified. Err'body know they better stay out of man-cave unless they want to take a seat and shut the truck up.
