IMHO last season would have been a lot better without the Crowe storyline. Michael Rappaport's accent was so bad it was nearly unwatchable for me. I honestly don't think they would have done that whole bit if Elmore were still living.

BRUTAL accent. That's the only casting miscue I can recall from any season of Justified.

Jere Burns' (Wynn Duffy) eyebrows?

Lots of Deadwood alumni have been on this show, with Garrett Dillahunt adding to the list this season. Jim Beaver, Brent Sexton, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Gerald McRaney each had recurring roles. Sean Bridgers showed up in an episode, as did Pruitt Taylor Vince, W. Earl Brown, Peter Jason, and Ray McKinnon. A good blending of two of my favorite shows of the last 15 years.

Graham Yost (the creator of Justified) is an unabashed huge fan of Deadwood. The casting of the Deadwood actors (in Justified) is basically a homage to that show (beside the fact that these folks are really good actors).

Ray McKinnon. Rectify. Watch it.

Finished season one of Game of Thrones. I wasn't blown away, but it was certainly good enough to continue on. Quite the polarization of the characters. My favorite is no longer a cast member, so I've moved on to a new favorite. We'll see how long this one lasts!

Question about the Dothraki language. Did Martin develop this? Or was it created specifically for the show?

It took me an entire season, but I believe I finally understand the layout of the seven kingdoms (and all of its familial ties). Hopefully that understanding will help with the flow of season 2.

Also just started season three of American Horror Story: Coven. I'm usually not one for fright (I'm very jumpy and easily startled), but there's something about this show that keeps me coming back for more.

I know there are plenty of Wire fans, heck I think even Jimmy Mcnulty is a member here. I have binged since the new year and am on the final season, but this fabricating cases by Jimmy is very odd to me. I am not sure I even want to finish. Someone tell me, without spoiling if it gets better.

Maybe Jimmy could tell me himself?

1.Probably a good idea. Just when you think you know someone...
2.Im almost certain it was invented just for the show. I read something on it one time, but I forget.
3. You can google an interactive map of their world. After glancing at it for a bit youll understand it all then.
4.Just keep on watching, GOT is the greatest show on tv.

Is anyone watching "Friday Night Tykes" on the Esquire Network? To me it looks like the coaches can be broken up into two types-"Insufferable, win-at-all-cost douchebags" and "completely in-over-my-head idiots."

What did everyone think of "Better Call Saul?" As a Breaking Bad fan, I had pretty low expectations for it. I thought the first episode Sunday was pretty slow, but I know that is Gilligan's style so I didn't hate it. I really enjoyed Monday night's episode, and I'm thinking this might be a better show than I anticipated.

The Walking Dead has become stale. The show has run its course and the only way they have a good episode is if they kill of characters and that's not a recipe for success.

Agree. Each season gets better and better.

I have watched every episode at least 4 times.

I am just gripped by this show unlike any other show I have watched before.


And there's still so much left!

The Rains of Castamere though.

Sunday's episode felt different from a production standpoint. The storyline was overdue from the comic's timeline. Despite the melancholic content, I thought it was a strong episode.

Through the comics (or graphic novels), I am caught up through January 2014. There is some tense, bloody, and barbaric plot on the way. Though, with the way AMC spreads The Walking Dead so thin across 16 episodes, it probably won't make its way to TV until season 7. :doh:

Yeah, something has to come up in the Walking Dead story line. The last episode dropped a lot of hints to the wolves or whatever. I am flabbergasted however that they just apparently traveled 500 miles without incident or anything interesting along the way?? In that world?? Really?

First episode was slow, but the second episode was awesome. I love how all the BB characters are in there. If it lasts 4-5 seasons, I wonder if Walter and Jesse make cameos towards the end.

Mike the parking garage attendant. I am only about halfway through the first episode.

First few episodes are about context and setting the foundation. Guarantee you that Walt & Jesse, among others, will be woven into the stories. Highly doubt the show will be as good as BB (impossibly high bar), but the show's floor is good.

First season of Bosch to be released by Amazon tomorrow. Big, big fan of Connolly and enjoyed the pilot. Titus Welliver is inspired casting.

Finally, the most recent episode of Justified was awesome. 9 more episodes left (sigh), can they ratchet it up further?

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I remember enjoying the pilot quite awhile ago.

Andrew Lincoln (Grimes) said that after about 1/3 of season 5b, the show gets really crazy.
