JUSTIFIED ON FX!

Every time I think they can't create another awesome character, they go ahead and prove me wrong. Choo choo is awesome - the key toss sealed it. I don't think he even blinked.

Smoove! I need a picture at the top of the page!

And to make my contribution smoother, thought I would add a link to an article from Time.

At the end of Battlestar Galactica, a lot of actors said they brought home souvenirs like notepads with the corners cut off. Are you going to take a Stetson home with you?

No. I suppose if I was on the Battlestar Galactica set, I’d steal stuff, too! On the Justified set I’m just going to let things go where they need to go.

I'm pretty sure it would make my decade if at some point he says, "You got a skinny little runt named Givens working here?"

So exactly what is the cabal up to in buying up property in Harlan? Have they revealed that yet?

Not yet. I wonder if Markham has an inside track on the legalization of pot in Kentucky and is laying the groundwork for huge and legal pot plantations worked by coal miners.

If we go down that road (house), all I ask is that we don't have Choo Choo announce to Tim during a fight that he "... used to f*$# guys like you in prison."

I always thought that an odd thing to say during a fight...

Smoove_B · Post by **Smoove_B** » Fri Feb 06, 2015 12:20 pm

Yeah, it's definitely an odd exchange in an otherwise well written movie.

I'm not sure what's going with the land grab. If they hadn't already used mining rights and land issues in Season 2 I would have thought something along those lines. But it does make you wonder what a cashed up boss-thug could be up to.

The odds of a particular character surviving this season are getting lower and lower with each passing episode.

Maybe Wynn Duffy will come out OK but after the last episode I suspect melanoma will get him in the end.

It's a little bittersweet seeing old faces from past seasons since this will be it for Justified. Loved that scene with Loretta. And for next week, Limehouse the piggy banker and Constable Bob!

I hadn't thought of that but you're right, looks like everyone (who is still alive anyway) is getting a final farewell appearance. Nice touch.

Wynn Duffy's origin story of being from Hawaii and a competitive surfer was out of the blue, but it does explain his use of a tanning bed.

After binge watching the first 5 seasons, it's really hard to go back to waiting for weekly episodes.

Wonderful things can happen when you sow seeds of distrust in the garden of assholes.

Wise words indeed. And RIP Choo-Choo.

The train, has, sadly left the station. Pretty memorable character for such a brief time.

I'll just pop in and mention again how I haven't made it past season 2. I really suck at keeping up with shows.

Dear Fx,

Will you just give us a Tim, Art and Rachel spin off after Justified ends?

Thanks,

The World

$iljanus · Post by **$iljanus** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 11:37 am

Well now. Things seem to have gone full circle with that ending. Go Eva go!

I'm sad that things aren't so rosy in the RV anymore. Poor Wynn.

Grifman · Post by **Grifman** » Tue Mar 31, 2015 11:05 pm

Damn, Mikey! I knew Duffy was a survivor. But damn, those were 2 brutal deaths!

Grifman · Post by **Grifman** » Wed Apr 01, 2015 9:28 am

I'll also note that Boyd is just so charming, and in many ways so likeable, that sometimes the writers just have to remind us how cold, callous and brutal a killer he can be. The murder last night and the murder of doofey Dewey Crowe were two of those. Those were cold and calculating.

Skinypupy · Post by **Skinypupy** » Sat Apr 04, 2015 12:48 pm

I finally got caught up on Justified last night. Wow.

This week's epsiode ("Fugitive Number One") might be my favorite single episode of the entire series.

Spoiler:

All in all, it looks like this thing is headed for one hell of a finish. Can't wait.

Smoove_B · Post by **Smoove_B** » Sat Apr 04, 2015 12:53 pm

Yeah, I don't know what the plan is with Boon, but they've been building that for so long now I'm having a hard time believing it will deliver. I mean, the track record for the show is that they deliver 100% of the time, but he's been such a great character I really don't know how they're going to resolve this in a creative way....but I'm hopeful.

$iljanus · Post by **$iljanus** » Wed Apr 08, 2015 9:39 am

Oh Bob, you foolish brave son of a bitch.

Spoiler:

And yes, I would watch a series based on Wynn Duffy's dog grooming adventures.

Too bad the preview for next week includes what seems like a very obvious spoiler for how things end up:

There's a scene with Raylon and Boon standing on a road and Boon tells him "You didn't think you were gonna get to leave town" or something like that. The implication being that Raylon wraps up business and is getting ready to leave when Boon stops him. My bet is the show ends just after that final showdown with Boon.

My guess on an ending:

Let's hope I'm wrong.

$iljanus · Post by **$iljanus** » Sun Apr 12, 2015 5:34 pm

I like Boon's character but being introduced so late in the game I wouldn't be disappointed if he was dealt with in the first couple of minutes so we can get to the inevitable Raylan vs Boyd showdown.

Agreed, that was pretty damn awesome. My favorite line (paraphrased):

Bartender: We don't serve anyone who doesn't flash a badge or their tits.
Raylan: Well, all right. Art, show him your tits.

I literally did a spit-take at that one while watching it on the plane today.

I was a little surprised to see:

A very satisfying end to a fun series. Gonna miss it.

Not the ending I expected but definitely a great way to go out. Here are a couple of interesting stories about how they came up with the ending, they give a great view of the producers, writers and actors' thoughts:

http://deadline.com/2015/04/justified-s ... 201409470/

I will miss this show, especially the writing and characters, big and small.

PS, what did Tim give Raylan at the end? I couldn't tell.

I think it was a bag to put his stuff in. I don't think it had much significance other than adding some witty banter about Tim wanting it back.

Smoove_B · Post by **Smoove_B** » Thu Apr 16, 2015 9:39 am

Fantastic end to the series. He changed...but not by much. I absolutely thought someone was going to die, so it's nice to read they realized that and took advantage of the popular belief. I had no idea about the hat, but I also assumed if anyone was going to be able to kill Raylan it would have been Boon. Such a creepy character.

And yes, it was a small bag that Tim gave to Raylan.

For anyone else interested, our local news did an interview with Elmore Leonard back in 2010 regarding the show and his thoughts on Raylan's hat are included there:

"I think it’s great," Leonard says, in the same succinct manner of speaking that he gives to most of his characters.

Though even with this version, he’s not entirely in love with the hat — a large, crisp Stetson that sets Givens apart from the modern-day Marshals he works alongside.

"I think he ought to just chuck it," Leonard says. "What’s he need it for? He’s not in the West; he’s from Kentucky. I think it’s got out of hand. It’s not the hat that he wears in the book — which is the small, little businessman’s Stetson, but well-worn, and crushed and disfigured."

Yost acknowledges that he and Leonard had a difference of opinion on the hat — "We got very specific photographs, about, ‘This is the hat,’" he says, "but you have to find a hat that fits Tim." — but overall found that the wisest way to do an Elmore Leonard adaptation is to follow a mantra that he eventually had made into a bracelet he gave to all of his writers: "WWED," or "What Would Elmore Do?"

"We dug coal together."

If you've watched this show, this was the perfect way to end.
