My feelings about Justified are the same as your's, ita. Will tune in to see Timothy Olyphant and his cowboy hat.

Although I think both Sterling and Nate make the mistake of equating "law-abiding" with "good guy" and "law-breaking" with "bad guy".

I think that's the reason Nate is such a mess right now, apart from Sophie not being around. He's convinced he's one of the bad guys now, and he doesn't like it, no matter how many good deeds he does.

Finale tonight! Sad now.

John promises no cliffhangers, because he hates them, but he still left us in an emotional state the end of season 1. So I doubt he'll be nice.

Angry Parker, worried Hardison, troublesome Sterling, losing-it Nate.

Okay, glad for no cliffhangers though.

Frankenbuddha - I like your analysis. Makes sense to me.

I'm fascinated by Nate's repeated insistence that he is not a thief. So, felonies are okay, fraud, kidnapping, assault and battery, conspiracy, but as long as you don't steal anything with your own hot little fingers, you're still a good guy? Nate, Nate, Nate. Your identity crisis is epic. I'm hoping you resolve at least some of your shit this evening, sir. Preferably without going to jail.

I'm hoping that Sterling is in town about Blackthorne's character, and not our guys. That's the scenario I can see easiest keeps them out of jail, although they'll certainly be in jeopardy.

I think Nate uses "thief" to mean "bad guy." He may do bad things, but he's not a bad guy. And thieves are bad guys, right? Or maybe he'd say he does dodgy things.

Honestly, though, if I were a professional thief and my "boss" kept saying he wasn't a thief in the same tone he might use to say I'm not a puppy-fucker, I'd probably either quit or dangle him off a building until he apologized and admitted to being a douchebag.

I love Nate. But he is kind of a douche.

(I swear I never called anyone a douche-anything until I moved to New Jersey.)

Yes, but did you ever dangle someone from a building is what I want to know.

New Jersey: home of power plants, landfills, and other douche-worthy things (like my boss who I want to dangle out a window /NJ resident).

The season 1 finale was emotionally resonant, and I loved that! Just rewatched the final parting of ways with the alternating closeups of all their faces, the humming music, and then the cut to black mid-note. So so awesome. I'll take that anyday.

The kids give pops a lot of leeway. His mastermind cred gets him far. Until Lucille's demise, had anyone but Sophie pitched a fit at him? Even Tara fell in line quickstick when she saw his effectiveness.
