I actually think his movies have gotten progressively better, though admittedly, the main reason I didn't love Gone Baby Gone is because I couldn't stop comparing it to the book. I'm planning on rewatching it sometime to see if I change my mind.

Besides watching Mad Men, I rewatched The Tree of Life and saw Before Sunset for the first time on Saturday. I liked The Tree of Life a little more this time than I did when I first saw it, and I think I understood a little more how various parts of the movie connected with each other, but I still have problems with…

I generally love Dave and his awkwardness, but lately, they have been going a little too overboard with it. It would be nice to see him get a real storyline again.

This was the best line. I was thinking pretty much the same thing as Penny at that point.

Yeah, I definitely preferred the second episode as well because I thought the Penny-Roy stuff was genuinely touching (even if it did feel a little messy) and I really hope that they continue with Max's relationship with Wilson (for various reasons, some more superficial than others). Neither episode was great, but the…

Fuck ABC. That is all.

I can't even express how excited I already am for season 5. It's amazing how even after four seasons, they can still surprise us.

That scene was fucking great. It definitely reminded me a little of The Godfather, really the perfect cap to Raylan's arc this season.

That was devastating. I also got serious chills at the very end, when the credits song started playing over the image of Raylan casually drinking beer in front of his father's grave. The line "you won't leave Harlan alive" (or something along those lines, can't remember exactly) = *shiver*.

Hmm, I don't really get that. Of course, I'm much more invested in the Boyd-Ava relationship than Raylan and Winona, but I think the ending makes perfect sense for the story. This season especially was about the difference between lawmen and criminals (cue The Departed reference), and in the end, the reason why Raylan…

I second this. Also, why did they abandon the Washington D.C. storyline so quickly? I personally didn't love it, but I feel like they could have taken the show in an interesting direction.

Does Colt count? 'Cause we all saw that coming from a mile away (of course, it was still a great scene).

Baseball rules and boo Braves ;) (Nats fan here, FYI)

@avclub-f7f8eb12e0f61a9321597157c0d61791:disqus What's wrong with the A's?

I think this season has also been more emotionally resonant than Justified has been in the past. This is the first time I've felt genuinely scared for the main characters. That could just be me, though.

Seriously. I'll have to rewatch season 2 sometime, but depending on what this last episode is like, I think this season could legitimately rival that for the best season of the show.

My fingers are crossed for this because for no real reason, I dislike the Dodgers (and the Angels).

How 'bout that homerun, eh?

After last week, I feel pretty safe about Ava; I don't think her story is going to end yet. That could be what Yost wants me to think, though… Either way, she better not die because she's awesome and also the only major female character on the show right now.
