Justified Discussion -Spoilers-

[Batty]

Yep, I can't wait either. I love FX's programming. It's great that this starts up right after SoA ends.

 

[carbo-fation]

This, Sherlock and Shameless will make for a great New Year.

 

[Battoys12]

Can't wai till this starts. 14th up here.

Six seasons isn't bad. I think it keeps it from becoming stale.

Last week's episode was great, btw!

This is true, but the thought of no more episodes still bums me out. Luckily, the seasons have great rewatch value, especially if you haven't watched them in awhile.

 

[cilantropants]

Kind of a bummer to hear that, but as much as I love the show I agree, ending it before it gets stale is a better option. I'd prefer if more series did that actually. Would allow for more creative ideas to get put out there more often.

I heard only recently that Boyd Crowder was supposed to have been killed in the pilot, but they liked Goggins' portrayal and chemistry with Raylan so much that he's still there 5 seasons later.

Kinda like Jack was supposed to die in the pilot of LOST. Makes ya wonder what writers are thinking some times.

I agree - though I know at the end of the series I will be wishing there was one more season. I'm going to miss these characters.

I'm betting

Cousin Johnny

stole the shipment.

Wasn't that his hooker from last season that offered the guy a pop-rock hummer in exchange for info about the shipment? The one that Colt smacked around while he was looking for Ellen May.

Last week I caught 2 movie references: The Godfather, sort of, but also too on the nose, with Boyd taking a piss and his black lung buddy coming and shooting the cop at the table, and then Art mentioning pliers and a blowtorch, from Pulp Fiction.
Was there anything else?

Still the best series on TV right now.

I'm also upset they killed the Haitian. He's been such a marginal force before now, but when he finally got to show his badassery and spirit, he gets gakked by a fat drunken Floridian.

 

[SnakeDoctor]

They killed off the Haitian because the actor wasn't happy with how the character was going and wanted out. They used the opportunity to develop Danny a bit. The Haitian was intended to last longer.

Wow, that sucks. He shouldn't have been so impatient. Guess on his next gig he'll be a little more open to the idea of longevity. lol

I've caved, and I'm in the market for a hat. I already wear cowboy boots every day of my life (including with a suit) and drive a big *** diesel pick-up ... so I might as well.

I've found a couple of options ...

The first is a "Stetson Carson", which is an out-of-production Stetson that the Givens hat is based on. 4x beaver fur. Its in Silverbelly, which looks awfully white, but apparently that's how the Justified hat is. I think I'd rather something in tan. Its about $250, and would require me to find a hat band on my own ...

The second is a "Stetson Marshal", which is a newer version of the Carson (once the Carson took off after Justified) which mimics the customized version of the Carson that Givens wears. This is the one they sell on the FX site. I'm not so sure about it. Costs about $130 and is in 4x beaver fur. The reviews look fairly mediocre. The brim looks too big. I like the color better, and it comes with a band, though ...


https://www.hatcountry.com/Mens/Men...boy+Hats/Marshall+-+(4X)+Wool+Cowboy+Hat.html

The third -- and the one I'm leaning toward -- is a customized Justified hat from Jaxonbilt Hats ...


https://www.jaxonbilthats.com/movie_hats/08_justified.htm

Haven't seen any reviews of this specific one, and I've emailed about the cost. I think a custom hat may take wear and tear better. It is in either 5x or 10x beaver fur (or 50x or 100x), allows for higher quality than the other two ... and it looks great from the pictures.

Anybody have any experience with something like this? I always just bought hats at Cavender's. Never bought a custom one before.

SnakeDoc

My bosses are the heads of the costume department on Justified. I could ask them where they get Raylan's hats from if you want.

 

[SnakeDoctor]

That'd be worth knowing. Maybe they could just send me one. Heh.

[ChaserFan]

Only just caught up with this, but I loved how they used the same house for Paxton's funeral home as the one in Six Feet Under

 

[SnakeDoctor]

Its a shame Justified doesn't get more play around here. Last week was a little slow, but it picked up again this week.

SnakeDoc

 

[SnakeDoctor]

Brilliant.

Best series on TV for me since it started.
I had a vision of something like that happening as soon as he tripped. LOL No one deserved it more than Danny.
