JUSTIFIED ON FX!

Can't wait!! I can't even recall the last time I was actually so excited for a show to come out. It better be freaking good!

Entertainment Weekly gave it an A and high praise.

...1. did you get a chance to renew your people subscription? i know you were worried about missing out on any brangelina news.

justified was excellent. loved the setting, the actors were great and the story fun. really looking forward to more. i hope it has a long run.

Didn't watch it yet because the wife fell asleep. Grrr..

Thanks for the reminder. I saw this thread just after the show had started but since FX runs one show and then reruns it right after I got it. Just weird that they started it at 9:10 and 10:10. I hope the dvr got it all.

Oh crud don't say that. It's going to cut off the last 10 minutes of my recording.

They do that on purpose to jack DVR's

The channel guide for Dish said it was 10:10-11:10 so I'm hopeful that is not the case (at least for me). I know it started recording right on time for me so I think I'm okay.

Then I'll go download a torrent of the episode to jack them for jacking my DVR.

DVR Recorded from 10 to 10:11. Yippie!

I liked it.

Spoiler:

Here's hoping that the show goes on for as long as The Shield did.

I do hate Walter Goggins though, since he never seems to play anything but a cracker shitbag. I suppose that means he is a good actor. I am not happy that he will be back. I loved the shotgun moment with the dumbass. And I chuckled at the bit where the boss said "I told that girl to be polite."

Goggins is da man! I thought he was great in the show. Sure, he's typecast since The Shield, but I don't mind when he's that convincing as the psychotic cracker.

my old DISH DVR recorded the show from start to finish....it would even follow a golf tourney into a playoff for 20-30 minutes over the listed time....

my new U-Verse DVR cuts everything off exactly at the minute the guide says it ends....

Just watched it and I give it a hearty two thumbs up.

JonathanStrange · Post by **JonathanStrange** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 9:43 pm

I enjoyed this episode - from the confrontation with the Pulp Fiction baddie to the Shield baddie. So I'm probably going to watch again - I'll make the time for this.

It was pretty awesome. I just wish he didn't say "justified" so often. It distracted me (though I think he only said it 3 times).

He wasn't always a cracker shitbag on the shield. For most of it's run he was more of a doting toadie.

agreed. hopefully they'll stop.

on a side note, very few actors play quiet and angry/quiet and deadly like Olyphant. I hope that the show explores his anger and its source slowly, instead of resolving it in the first season.

on a second side note, i'm also surprised every time i read that Olyphant is in his early forties.

Octavious · Post by **Octavious** » Thu Mar 18, 2010 12:04 pm

They will never resolve his anger. That's the best role that he plays. If anything they will just make him angrier until he explodes into a killing spree.

As for them saying Justified 3 times the show wasn't actually called Justified when they filmed the episode it was called Lawman so I'll give them a pass on that one.

I didn't even notice him saying that, except maybe for when he was being interviewed by the DOJ at the beginning. The only way I could become irritated by it is if he starts shouting "Justified!" every time he shoots a bad guy.

He said it then, at the end when he was talking to his wife and at some other point...maybe when he was talking to the guy he shot?

Yeah, it is really a very minor quibble...unless they keep doing it.

Grifman · Post by **Grifman** » Thu Mar 25, 2010 8:38 pm

This is an excellent show. Olyphant really has the cool anger down pat and the characters he runs into are so far pretty interesting and unique. I'm really enjoying this.

Updated the title as it's not on every day at 10PM.

Second episode was great as well and I'll be watching this one every week. The letting the prisoner drive the car bugged me but whatever..

I thought the 2nd episode was pretty weak. They spent too much time with the theives which were horrible actors, not that Tim is that great himself. They need less acting, more action if they want me to keep watching every week.

+1... You really think Timothy Olyphant is a bad actor? Sure he pretty much plays the same role over and over but I'd say that's because he's awesome at it...

WPD · Post by **WPD** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 5:12 pm

I haven't had a chance to watch the 2nd episode...what's the count on the number of times justified was said? I need to know whether or not to bother.

Octavious · Post by **Octavious** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 6:35 pm

I don't think they said it at all in the second episode.

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 8:02 pm

we did learn in this past episode that he has tourettes and that causes him to yell out 'JUSTIFIED!' from time to time.

Doomboy · Post by **Doomboy** » Fri Mar 26, 2010 8:51 pm

I thought he only yelled it after shooting people. Which he does that at least twelve times per episode.

Then there was that strange bit where his boss just said "justified" over and over and over for three minutes. That was just plain weird.

I love this show, too, hope it stays good.

I will resist posting any shirtless pictures of the star, as I'm not sure most of you would appreciate that as much as I do.

EvilHomer3k · Post by **EvilHomer3k** » Wed Mar 31, 2010 11:34 pm

Anyone watch the third episode that can tell me what happened after Travis Travers left the bookie's house? My dvr didn't get the last part.

My students keep telling me I look like the actor from Hitman. Just happens to be Timothy Oliphant. I am not at all insulted. Sadly, I would have to say they are delusional but I'm not going to break that illusion.

"The little gay dude?"
"He wasn't gay! He was an elf!"
"You tryin' to tell me you're gay, Rollie?"

KeriKitKat, you'll get a kick out of this.

We're watching the third episode last night and my wife exclaims, "Damn, he's hot."

Indignant, I say, "You do know he's in his 40's right?"

She replies, "You're almost in your 40's too."

Ouch.

(For the record, I am 35. She has a very liberal definition of "almost.")

You told Chaosraven and I we could leave that at your place. It is not our fault if your friends found it.
