he told Catelyn they had Arya too.  He's just a liar, he didn't confirm anything

It makes a lot of sense for Jorah to recognize semly on sight, and for selmy to introduce himself immediately, because WE recognize selmy on sight.  In the book we can't, and so his reveal can be drawn out a bit longer.  The visual nature of the show makes that impossible.

In the book though we had the benefit of seeing things from Dany's perspective, such that even WE didn't recognize Arstan Whitebeard as Selmy because we were seeing him through her eyes, and she didn't know him.  On the show, we're seeing him through our eyes, so we all instantly recognize him when he takes off his…

This is probably way off from the books' description of Mance, but I always pictured an Anthony Hopkins-like dude for some reason.

I always felt that Tyrion's killing of Shae was pretty irredeemable  no matter how well they establish her duplicitous nature (which they haven't, so it'd be an even tougher pill to swallow).  After Storm of Swords I think Martin's intention was that Tyrion continue to be a good guy and everything, but its rpetty much…

I'd like to bring up one thing I really like about this series as a whole:  killing people has consequences.    Every season has featured at least one murder around ep 1 that ends up having big ramifications for the character who committed it later in the season.  Season 1's finale was all about revenge on Raylan for…

It's all very Shakespearean 

I think people try a little too hard to explain the origins of Ooo in a strictly sci fi way.  Ooo is literally magical, and the sentient bubblegum is a hint that magic is coming back into the world.  If you still want to look at it from a sci fi POV, think of it like the mushroom war "broke" the Earth's natural order…

Merle's plan was actually genuinely smart, which contrasted quite sharply with the incredible stupidity early on.  The fact that Rick even considered the gov's offer might represent the lowest moment of the series, including the worst of season 2.

yeah not to mention that the explosion didn't seem powerful enough to do real damage even if it had gone off as intended while a marshal's vehicle drove past.  That probably has more to do with the budget than anything else, but still, seeing some marshalls get knocked off their feet, maybe some of the SUV's windows…

well he did execute that heroin dealer who was working for him

He was a ***decoy***

Was there a specific reason Tim and co couldn't just drive out a ways into the field that surrounded the road, driving around the possibly rigged cars?  The field looked flat enough to drive on, and when they "circled the wagons" they were already off the road, so why not just go around?

"my God this show could be so much more than it is if it went my way."

lol technically she didn't make it this far - if not for Drew's intervention, her body would be at the bottom of a slurry right now

Yes, though by raising the prices like he did, Boyd didn't get a hold of her.  Maybe that was an intentional outcome?

You shouldn't be comparing Augustine to Mags or Bo.  He's just another player in the hunt for Drew Thompson.

I feel the exact opposite.  This might be my favorite season of Justified thus far.

I thought it was so refreshing hearing Rick's speech to the group at the end, to hear him talk about going to war and not even mentioning the Michonne offer.  It seemed like he saw right through it and never even considered it.  But then we had that final scene…

Yeah that was what I had originally assumed, but as cobbljock said they go out of their way to describe a very different scene.
