All caught up.

I don't know what I did to deserve a season finale this good, but I'll take it. What an spectacular send off for a show. Gripping tension in each episode, wonderful performances from old and new characters and the tightest writing since the show started. Such a refreshing all around class act.

 

[lamaroo]

I just hope the showrunners and writing staff can all work together on another great series after this.

Season's still going brah!

 

[Funky Papa]

I'm just watching each episode as if it were the last. I feel like I'm saying goodbye to Justified already, I can't shake the bittersweet feeling of knowing that this is the end.

[RangersFan]

I really wasn't loving this season as much as the rest of you all, but that episode was great. Wynn Duffy was the rat I knew it.

 

[bobbyrawlins]

I normally don't like neat, cliched happy endings but I would be perfectly ok with Raylan leaving the field-work behind (for Quantico?) to go chill with his family and Boyd going down (death or prison).

Ava can go jump off a bridge for all I care.

 

[phaze]

Another really great episode. The new cowboy guy is insanely creepy. I kind of hope he will get Gutterson'd from the back or side while he's second away from his dream duel with Raylan.

For the first time since very long, Boyd managed to show a bit more sympathetic side to him.

 

[Funky Papa]

Yeah, I feel like Gutterson could get more lines. All his interactions with Raylan have been amazing this season.

"a dick?"

 

[lastflowers]

Does anyone want seasons four and five ultraviolet codes?

You scared the shit out of me. I thought you meant the last episode was the finale.

 

[Frog-fu]

Jonathan Tucker made his episode all the more enjoyable. He's nothing short of amazing in Kingdom, simply blows everyone else away.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I thought I fell asleep and missed 5 weeks worth of episodes loool

Scrambling for a calendar like "wut jus happened"

 

[Cornballer]

New episode tonight:

Trust

Spoiler

Raylan puts more pressure on his CIs; Boyd makes a move on Markham's money; Ava finds herself caught in the crossfire again.

 

[The Lamonster]

Yep, he is a lot of fun to watch. Same can be said for several major and minor cast members on this show. Jeff Fahey getting a ton of screen time is great, too. He was a blast in Planet Terror.

New episode tonight:

Sounds like more of the same, but I'll be there with bells on

- Matt Zoller Seitz: Justified’s Unexpected Social Commentary Propels the Show to TV’s Elite Ranks

But the deeper struggle in season six is the struggle for the soul of Harlan County — and it’s here that the show’s Western- and gangster-film mythologies subtly blend to create something that is, for Justified, quite unexpected: social commentary. There’s a low-level sense of continual upheaval: The world is changing, but the people are unwilling or unable to change with it. The characters are intoxicated by nostalgia and legend, but the show itself sees through them, even though its constant invocation of Kentucky’s past as a mining economy and the loving shots of dilapidated shacks and covered bridges suggest otherwise. Modernity is growing over tradition like kudzu, and from the very start, Justified has been hip to this process. The show’s main theme, “Long Hard Times to Come,” by Gangstagrass and T.O.N.E-z, lays rap over hip-hop backbeats over bluegrass guitar and banjo. Raylan wears a Stetson and is known for his quick draw, but he communicates with his girlfriend and their child via Skype and conducts most of his important business via cell phone, and when he teases a young wannabe gunfighter named Boon (Jonathan Tucker) by invoking John Wayne, the kid blankly says, “I don’t know who that is.” “He was a movie cowboy,” Raylan replies.

I had to pause the last episode on the part where Duffy pretended to call Boyd, I couldn't stop laughing. Jere Burns is the motherfucking man.

I'm going to miss this show so much.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Oh god, here it comes...

Question: I’ll take some scoop on Justified. What can you give me? —Matt

A heart attack in the final moments of

this week’s episode.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

30 more minutes. So tired though

 

[Niraj]

So ready.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Welcome, boys.

Let's start the show

 

[Blue Bomber]

It's go time.

 

[Cornballer]

Reporting for duty.

 

[IronRinn]

Present.

 

[Niraj]

Every time he says Jesus Christ I remember this:

Oooh, more Limehouse.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

wow! That was such great TV

 

[IronRinn]

Chekhov's gator teeth necklace.

 

[Niraj]

Chekov's gator teeth necklace.

I honestly kind of forgot about that.

 

[IronRinn]

Figured it would come up with it being in the "Previously On."

 

[-griffy-]

I honestly kind of forgot about that.

Good thing they reminded you in the 5 minute recap before the episode

Those things are getting longer!

 

[Blue Bomber]

I was wondering why they showed Dewey's gator teeth in the opening preview.

Every time he says Jesus Christ I remember this:

Oooh, more Limehouse.

Wynn has the best reactions.

 

[Niraj]

Oh lol, I usually don't pay attention to those for that reason.

Good thing they reminded you in the 5 minute recap before the episode

Those things are getting longer!

See above

 

[IronRinn]

I would have figured someone other than Ava would have found the necklace. Let's see what she does with this knowledge.

 

[Cornballer]

This first commercial break is absurdly long.

 

[Cornballer]

I mean, seriously. How are we still in the break?

 

[IronRinn]

I wonder if that's the kind of hat Elmore Leonard thought Raylan wore.

 

[IronRinn]

Is Mikey selling out Wynn? God damn.

 

[-griffy-]

Primo Wynn Duffy line right there.

 

[Niraj]

"I'm just saying, last time we tried something like this we ended up with his underwear."

 

[Blue Bomber]

Is Mikey selling out Wynn? God damn.

Yeah that's what it sounded like to me unless it's some misdirection

 

[lazybones18]

Boyd should have killed Ava already

 

[Cornballer]

I wonder if that's the kind of hat Elmore Leonard thought Raylan wore.

He doesn't wear the exact one that Leonard has him wear in the book, but he said he'd let it go.

Before the show:

There appears to be movement toward getting a Raylan Givens TV series on cable. I’m all for it but they better get Raylan’s hat right this time. In the TV movie, Pronto, they gave poor James LeGros a George Strait hat that looked like it was ready to take off. The real Raylan hat is what Elmore calls, 'The Dallas Businessman’s Special'—a felt city cowboy hat called the Stetson 'Open Road'—Accept no substitute.

EDIT: After the show aired:

On Raylan as a contemporary Old West hero: The critics have been calling Raylan a cowboy with his hat. The hat came unexpectedly [with the show]. I had described kind of a businessman’s Stetson, a smaller Stetson. The one all the cops were wearing when Jack Ruby shot [Lee Harvey Oswald].

But evidently he found his own hat and design. It’s perfect. I don’t see him bareheaded. He seems to need a hat to define who he is.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Boyd raising his voice at Ava.

 

[IronRinn]

"I'm just saying, last time we tried something like this we ended up with his underwear."

Another reference to the dear departed Dewey Crowe.

Boyd is on top of shit. Wonder if he's the one on the other end of Mikey's texts.

 

[Cornballer]

Everyone is starting to fray a little bit, Vasquez included.

 

[Niraj]

Vasquez is really fed up at this point.

 

[Cornballer]

I love all of the crusty old folks in Harlan.

 

[Cornballer]

Might have to change my tag to "no-account peckerwood"

 

[Niraj]

Might have to change my tag to "no-account peckerwood"

lol

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

What a thug to be killing that old lady :/

 

[lazybones18]

Welp, who else is left in Loretta's family line?
