There's a local lawyer here in the Denver area named Paul. His website is callpaul.com, but I don't think I've seen his commercials during this. Missed opportunity.

They probably couldn't get the rights.

Well, Justified is ending.

I almost didn't recognize her without her Sofie hair from Carnivale.

But if Dewey Crowe were in this universe?

There's nothing inherently superior about The Americans' "realist" universe over Justified's stylized universe. These shows operate differently, and they're both very very good at what they do.

I like this show a lot. I love how it handles its subject matter. (I find the Cold War incredibly fascinating because I was too young to remember the end of it. I was 4 when the Wall came down.) The acting is great, and it's well-plotted.

First my incredibly well-thought-out reaction to this episode: Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod.

"Harlan Roulette," third episode of season 3. (She says after checking her DVDs.)

The hair thing makes me roll my eyes so hard. I hate having long hair. I've worn my hair short, around chin-length, since high school. Then I watch police procedurals and all the lady characters have long, gorgeous hair that's perfectly styled and it makes no sense.

That was some beautiful self-delusion. I mean, slavery? Holy shit.

Gilligan & Co must've read that Washingtonian article about Green Bank, WV, because something like that happens at a meeting. Some guy left his cell phone powered on in order to "test" the sensitive, and she tells the person running the meeting that there is a phone in the room.

I haven't. Have yet to visit Crested Butte, actually.

Hmm. Then I suppose it's a demographics thing. I spend my time with mid-20s grad students. (I moved here to attend CU Boulder.) Everyone I know is a pretty regular smoker. I don't know anyone who didn't smoke before legalization but do now. Hell, I don't because, again, that shit's expensive.

I'm more recent to CO (moved here in 2011), but… yeah, that's pretty much how it is. The dispensary I go to sometimes with my friend is just a very nice store.

Oh, good, someone else who picks out the shitty grape ones.

But there's this Ava-in-prison vibe to it that's a tad worrying to me.

When the pastor and his wife showed up for dinner, and Paige is all, "We don't have to answer the door together," Philip had this quick line about him and Henry hiding in the closet that was funny in its Dad-ness.

Speaking of Philip being there, Stan tried to get Dean Winters' brother to call on him. Now I really want a scene of Philip doing this est bullshit.

I loved that so much last season, and I'm glad it's continuing into this season.
