Ah, Justified. A final episode - hell, final scene - that really hits it out of the park. Enjoy.

If her only contribution to the culture was as the inspiration for the line "Never go with a hippie to a second location," she'd still be immortal. RIP.

Mmmmm . . . the virtues of craft beer and a bowl of kind bud. THAT is what Carrie Underwood should be oooohing about.
