TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[cardsfantx]

the first 30 minutes was great, as usual....the last 30 minutes? what the [expletive] was that?? I know you have to wrap up the series and all, but that last 30 mins was boring as [expletive].

[thrill]

Justified wasn't as explosive as many hoped and not even as explosive as some of it's own season finales, but I was pretty happy with the way it ended. Especially the goodbyes in the Marshall's office.

[SHOW]

Glass of Blanton's with Art, Raylan tossed Tim his copy of The Friends of Eddie Coyle and made a joke about his hat with Rachel. No big emotional endings because Raylan wasn't a big emotional person. Just a law man who moved on to the next job.

We got the fan servicey final Boyd preaching scene and the ending line really hit the nail on the head as an Elmore Leonard ending.


I also loved the scene with Ava and Boyd's kid. The kid was dressed exactly like a mini Boyd. Tight jeans, chambray shirt buttoned all the way to the top.

The only complaint I have is the kid who played the gun slinger sucked. He was way too cartoonish and not menacing at all. There was never any tension as to whether or not Raylan was going to beat him.

I thought the final line and scene was one of the best endings in TV history.

This is an excellent, excellent recap of the Justified finale: http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospect ... justified/

I only dabbled, but Daredevil was always my favorite comic book when I was a kid. I find the acting pretty bad, but the shows not too bad. The Mighty Duck is really, really, bad. Can't believe they couldn't find anyone else to play dufus friend. I only watched the first, are they all procedural? That would be kind of cool for a superhero story.

The three I saw were all different. I've actually found the acting above par for this kind of thing. I haven't minded Foggy but it seems the opinion on him runs the gamut. I've read a few critics who like him a lot but most conments online are negative. He does have a Encyclopedia Brittanica guy vibe about him.

The fight scenes are excellent so far, particularly the end of episode 2.

The Grantland guys like it.

I also liked, as a viewer, being able to see Ella May, Limehouse and Wynn Duffy one last time.

I will really miss that show's dialogue and characters.

I agree with both this and that the last half overall wasn't that good. I liked the gunslinger kid from the get-go, but it was like the showdown with Raylan was a substitute for the expected showdown with Boyd. Would have rather just had Loretta taken him out and give her some oomph at the end.

I did think Raylan was going to kill Boyd, but I get why they didn't and prefer the way they did it. Something just didn't work for me about the time between Raylan leaving the Marshals' office in Kentucky and the conversation with Boyd.

Liked how they wrapped up Ava, but sure thought and felt that Raylan needed to kill Boyd or vice versa. My problem is that I always compare everything to Breaking Bad. That really isn't fair.
