I disliked everything about The Shield.  I will never understand how it is so well-loved around here.  I actually watched all 6 seasons of it, every episode, based solely on its reputation here.  It didn't do much for me.

But he KEPT holding it even when Quarles was on the ground.  I kept waiting for them to show him letting go, but it never happened.  So disturbing.

Funny and disturbing, I couldn't decide which to feel.  Neither could Raylan, apparently.  That look said it all.  He looked concerned, confused, and relieved all at once. Nothing is better than a show than can surprise you.

I always keep guns in my chambers.

Yeah, she looked legitimately pregnant to me.

"No. No you can't have your arm back!"

Jesus fucking Christ.  Justified is one of two shows where I have to rewind the badass scenes and watch them again (Breaking Bad is the other).  However, I think tonight set a new record when I had to watch one scene 5 times in a row.  I don't think I need to explain which scene, but I will add that this is the first…
