I swear: It's hilarious and there are arcs and Timothy Olyphant is all cool and stuff, an did you know he's from Modesto?"<br /><br />Friend: "I don't think it's for me."<br /><br />Josie: "Please?

I thought it looked interesting, so got the DVDs for the first season.<br /><br />You know that wonderful moment, about five or ten minutes into a pilot, when you just KNOW you are going to love a show and you settle back to enjoy it? That happened to me about thirty seconds in. How can you not love Timothy Olyphant, in a Stetson no less, walking the length of a pool in Miami? Fantastic.<br /><br />The best part about this episode is the strength of the characters. Every one of them was strong, even the ones with a small part to play. Dewey? Laugh out loud funny.<br /><br />It was the last scene that completely hooked me. Throughout, Givens had been smart, reserved and playing it cool. It was interesting to see another side of him -- and I love the dynamic of only revealing that part of himself to his ex-wife.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-50229206021355143042012-01-21T09:39:01.995-05:002012-01-21T09:39:01.995-05:00Just wanna echo all the other sentiments here as w...Just wanna echo all the other sentiments here as well as add something interesting: this is the second time producers of a show changed their minds and decided to keep Walton Goggins around.

However, I've heard nothing but gushing over the awesomeness of Season 2, so maybe I'll have to go ahead and watch the back half of Season 1 in anticipation of Season 2 reruns or a DVD release soon.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-20434148263461386372011-11-26T08:32:38.843-05:002011-11-26T08:32:38.843-05:00I'm from Kentucky and sadly this show is not f...I'm from Kentucky and sadly this show is not far off in it's portrayal.

Again, as soon as I rewatch this episode, I'll have better comments, but I can say that I have a man crush on (in?) Timothy Olyphant.<br /><br />On a manlier note, either Joelle Carter or Natalie Zea as love interests would be enough for me; but having both has my heart exploding in excitement. I said MY HEART, you pervs.<br /><br />Josie, I can't wait to read your theory, because I have no idea whatsoever where you're going with this.Gus Brunettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554920460249324531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-4701580335563293012011-11-25T19:51:07.800-05:002011-11-25T19:51:07.800-05:00I'm so excited you're reviewing this show,...I'm so excited you're reviewing this show, Billie. I'm not a huge Elmore Leonard fan, because his writing always sounds a little too satisfied with its own quippiness. But Elmore Leonard adaptations (see: Out of Sight) are wonderful, and this is one of the best.<br /><br />Y'know what I loved most about it? The perfection of its short-story structure. The mine scene at the end, which makes us reconsider all of the Rayland/Walton scenes, is absolutely perfect and perfectly placed. <br /><br />Write your reviews quickly, please! I've got more comments about other times mines come up in the show. (Seriously, I have a whole "mines on Justified" theory.)Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-38989370006502194672011-11-25T10:54:07.560-05:002011-11-25T10:54:07.560-05:00Thanks so much, Mark.

I love <i>Justified</i> and am overjoyed that you're going to be reviewing it. <br /><br />For me, the best thing about the show is Raylan and Boyd's somewhat twisted bromance, brilliantly played by both Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins. Glad the producers changed their minds about killing Boyd, its hard to imagine the show without him. <br /><br />Oh, and I love the hat too. I'm willing to bet Raylan is the reason why the Doctor thinks Stetsons are cool.Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.com
