Justified Season 3 Premier
Finally, the return of Justified hits FX tonight. Does it greet with a satisfying return? Meh, sort of. Warning: This post will contain some minor spoilers.
Right off the bat we are reminded of what all transpired in season 2, including Raylan Givens being shot. 3 weeks have passed and he’s still not up to snuff. His accuracy frankly bites. So he’s become a desk warmer for now. However that doesn’t stop him from getting into the mix of things. After questioning Boyd Crowder about some missing items from old Mags place, Boyd questions his lack of an apology for prevent him from killing Dickie for shooting Ava. That leads into a nice brawl and broken glass.
I quickly realized the reason for the brawl, to get to Dickie who was in jail. Though it’s a nice smirk that they cleverly threw that in there.
The overall story it seems is leaning towards the loan sharks and some big money moving. As well as the Crowder family rise. While the loan sharking doesnt seem to be that interesting, I’ll be happy to finally see some more of Boyd as he was quite.. void in this episode.
The Highlights of the episode?
- Dickie’s face when Boyd showed up at the prison.
- How Raylan handled the Ice Pick killer. I was literally laughing out loud cause I knew he wasn’t going to immediately grab it. I was figuring a kick at the table. This is the Raylan I just love Justified for.
- “Yeah, should have worn your suit,” Raylan says after fighting with Boyd. Too funny.
- Ava’s frying pan action that I seen coming from a mile away but it was still hilarious.
- Duffy being utterly scared to death of Raylan.
My only thumb downs? The whole Ice Pick killer scene with the poor pizza guy was… excessively violent, and the sex scene was unnecessary. Overall though the episode was great.
I can watch this scene forever and ever.
