Yes, but that pig butchering scene at the end, that was fantastic. Very Game of Thrones-y, which I mean as a compliment. Harlan County is kind of Westeros-ish. And Mags had to fall so we can see this power struggle play out. Or whatever's coming, but struggle of some sort seems pretty assured.

Me, too.

When they cut to the silent observer putting his hand on the back of the other guy's neck, and the HUGE BURN THERE, wow. Shudder.
I have yet to watch White Collar this week, though. I feel guilty.

Right? That was beautiful. The storytelling, not the actual image.

I think one of the things that I am missing terribly from season 1 of Justified is feeling empathy for the "bad" guys, the supposed villains.
Me too.

That whole scene was all deadly menace and a pig carcass. No wonder Boyd looked so nervous about having to deal with that scenario.

I'm surprised y'all are missing that. I found the Bennetts terribly easy to empathize with and I'm already finding Neal McDonough's character sympathetic. I'm pretty sure there were one off characters last season, too, but my memory's too fuzzy to come up with any examples.

I'm intrigued by the possibilities with Limehouse so far. Neal McDonough's character doesn't really grab me so far, though.

I admit, I've been a big McDonough fan since Boomtown, so I'm primed, but those phone calls home are mighty intriguing.
Eta: so far Mr. Limehouse is just extremely scary. Which I also enjoy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Absolutely this. I'm warming up on this season, but season 2 was really well balanced for me, moreso than the first season, in fact.

The first season was great, but it didn't have the incredible focus and intimacy that S2 had. S2 just blew me away.
