I'm not surprised by Zilpha's fate, as she's always reminded me of Ophelia…an emotionally fragile woman driven mad by the hot-and-cold running passions of the man she loved (who supposedly loved her). I hope she finally found peace.

The dialogue and use of language was definitely one of the most memorable aspects of Justified…reminiscent of Deadwood without the colorful profanity, and with a certain Southern eloquence.
If I keep thinking about it I'm going to have to have myself a Justified binge party soon.

Adorable. Give him a hug for me.

You're probably right, and I assumed the wrong thing. But that's what this show does to me, over-stimulates my imagination!
I saw the preview. Caleb appears to be disoriented from the blow to the head, and we may not be through with feeling some sympathy for him yet. I guess it's going to be Kenny Johnson's last…

I thought the Irish story arc was interesting. It's a shame how badly that show spun out of control, and in so many ways.

I just watched the first season, and will also admit I enjoyed it.
Ryan Hurst is always imminently watchable.

It was similar, wasn't it? That same loss of temper and control, hell-bent on confrontation.
I think they deprived us of a scene that might've been interesting. We saw Caleb come into the house early in the episode, looking for Norma, while Norman was at the prison. Then we saw him checking into a motel and when the…

Nope, never have…although I've always meant to because of its cast.

I'd forgotten that, pretty astute observation. It's been years since I've seen the film, gonna have to do a rewatch. I should've already, especially since I've watched the show from the beginning.

Every time they show her I want to get my hands on the little actor-dog. She's so darned cute (as is yours in your avatar pic)!

I haven't had the pleasure of visiting there, but come to think of it, shows like Portlandia and Grimm do imply there's a certain amount of quirkiness to be found there. Of course I guess I shouldn't talk, being from Kentucky. I've encountered a few folk who could be related to Chick.

I watched that bar scene closely a second time. It was fascinating, and somehow subtle and bold at the same time.

Me, too. I still miss it. Five seasons weren't enough for me. I feel like Raylan and company could've had more stories to tell, and the overall quality of the show (writing, acting, everything) was still going strong enough to do it.

I think season 4 was when SOA really went off the rails and what they did with his character started it for me, and it just plummeted. From then on they just became obsessed with trying to outdo themselves with extreme violence and deteriorating writing.

The show did the impossible and made me feel sorry for Caleb (against my will) back when he and Norma had their big emotional confrontation…what she called their "operatic moment in the middle of a field", and then when they all had that almost happy family dinner together (Dylan and Emma included). It was so…

I liked his little pen with its own light…excellent for writing in seedy bars.

Maybe it's kind of like the concept of ectoplasm. I've never really understood exactly how that's supposed to work, either.

Remember how, at his core, he once was a sweet, genuinely sensitive boy desperately struggling to hold on to his sanity? I guess even that part of Norman is completely gone now. I kind of miss that aspect of his personality, and the way Freddie Highmore played it to heartbreaking perfection.
Of course the whole…

The neck kerchief went quite nicely with the French lessons and Edith Piaf. I'm surprised she wasn't wearing a beret.
