Tonight's Justified wasn't as good as the pilot, not as stylized in dialogue and set-pieces, but it still had some nice scenes. Boyd is just a fascinating character, and the actor is magnetic, so glad they didn't kill him off. Loved the realization that Raylan was letting Crowe drive himself back to prison while he played with his phone. Enjoyed the genteel hostage taking of Raylan, but the show fell flat whenever the stripper wife and her cousin were in play. The laying in of sniper guy's story was well done, I thought.

Ah, see they were such Elmore Leonard types I just went "Of course that's how it's going to go." If anything, this one felt more Elmore Leonard-ish than the premiere to me.

I did like the story she was telling in the car about the dead man's car being haunted. But I don't know Elmore Leonard, so I can't pick out what's his influence and what isn't. I just know that I loved every minute of the pilot.
Loved the Cooper character, was horrified when I thought he'd been shot dead.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I also loved Cooper. I like how relationships are fluid in this show--characters remain consistent, but their allegiances shift in interesting ways. I LOVE Raylen's boss. He's a wonderful low-key character, but so fully drawn.

This. Loved his line about "we'd say you were a biter".

Loved the stripper turning on the lights and her explanation as to why.
Edited to correct a mistake.

I finally realized what was bothering me about the Timothy Olyphant. He played a one off character in Sex and the City, a twenty something that Carrie was hooking up with, and I need to work past that.

See, prior to Deadwood I always remember him from Go. And Scream 2.
