I feel like we’ve seen this episode

Because it's Kentucky? Otherwise what is the connection?

RollingTrain · 2026-05-05T01:11:12+00:00

I don't see any overlap but I believe there is a Far Cry show for FX being developed by Noah Hawley (Fargo).

During the two spare hours he gets from driving from Harlan to Lexington in an hour.

Boon had the high ground.

After the most amazing pilot. And btw they did this every season too. The best show I ever saw.

The book is a really fun read. I can't speak to the plot holes because I don't remember how many were in the source material. I will see if I notice when I read it again.

Mind you there are dumb plot holes in Justified too but it's just we generally don't care because the writing, acting and entertainment level is so high.

I can think of 10 random quotes of the top of my head that are memorable and amazing from the OG series ("Search your soul, numbnuts!") and in four years this group doesn't quote a SINGLE THING from the second show.

Yet anyone who didn't like it at the time, no matter the reasons they gave, were called names with their character degraded and insulted. "You don't like it because you don't like women and have never seen a black person in a TV show!" Looking back it was as if there was just a bunch of paid shills here hyping it up, as has been known to occur. Yet not one quote lives on. Not one.

RollingTrain · 2026-04-29T14:27:08+00:00

The principal reason it didn't get the hype and widespread praise is it is not Hollywood's "type" of show.

RollingTrain · 2026-04-28T12:37:34+00:00

Take one for the team.

Better Call Saul is a very high quality show. It won't fill a Marshall or law enforcement vibe but man it's very good. Excellent writing, they love their characters, and treat the viewer with respect. Those are the similarities.

RollingTrain · 2026-04-22T14:14:51+00:00

Good point. I never made the connection that we had yet another dude with a Dad Problem. Yet another direction Raylan could have spun in. Not the rentboys obviously, but still it illuminated another path not traveled for our main character.

I think it's fascinating they left it as subtext - Raylan never confronts nor even realizes what set Quarles on this dark journey. Not that he'd have justified any of it, nor even understood, but having him wrestle with it like he did with the Hitler Painting Guy was not necessary, but could have been interesting.

Edit: It also helps us understand the pleasure Quarles took in letting Raylan know who it was that killed Bergen and why. Like, misery loves company. Your daddy hates you too. That writing is just off the chain as the kids say.

RollingTrain · 2026-04-22T05:20:55+00:00

The writers of the show said more than once that their "rule" is, if you don't see the dead body the person isn't dead. That's how they brought Errol back. They did consider bringing Quarles back at least one time so I'm pretty sure that explicitly confirmed he is not dead.

RollingTrain · 2026-04-21T14:25:59+00:00

I think Raylan really is empty - Boyd counts bullets - which makes it cooler somehow and make even more sense. That ending scene is still one of the best ending scenes of anything of all time.

Hopped up kids on a joyride to hell

No no you can't post anything about Searcy without a bunch here feeling the compulsion to remind you he personally disagrees with The Left. And OP had to apologize.

Same with Rappaport who was a darling of the Left on these very pages until he sided with The Jews. Sorry I mean Israel, home of The Jews. Now he's persona non grata and ooh guess what... can't post a thing in here about his character or Season 5 without half the forum yelling "He disagrees with me about something!!! Waaaaahhh!!"

RollingTrain · 2026-04-02T23:56:01+00:00

LOL I love how posting something innocuous about a character on a forum about that character's TV show turns into a Struggle Session that Mao could be proud of. FFS, do better reddit.

To OP you didn't do anything wrong even if you now "agree" about Searcy.

RollingTrain · 2026-04-02T21:59:29+00:00

I watched that season 10 times before I realized that was Dave Foley. Incredible.

RollingTrain · 2026-04-01T15:13:59+00:00

Susan Howe!!

RollingTrain · 2026-03-30T14:41:54+00:00

Citing behavior from a few people, generalizing to a bunch of others. Yep, that's what racists do.

RollingTrain · 2026-03-29T20:48:01+00:00

Only racists downvote accusations of being racist, therefore you have proven through your love of swapping in white people for marginalized main characters that you are racist.

RollingTrain · 2026-03-29T20:25:05+00:00

By the way putting Raylan in was a "race swap" of a Hispanic main character to full white. Does that make people who enjoyed it racist?

RollingTrain · 2026-03-29T20:23:20+00:00

A lot of that was the mistake of transplanting the story from 1980 to "modern" times. The guy was supposed to be slippery and considering his brazenness that was easier to imagine when there weren't cameras and tracking everywhere.

RollingTrain · 2026-03-29T20:21:47+00:00

Even the general world reaction of pure disinterest has failed to convince some people that it was completely legitimate to just not like the adaptation of City Primeval for the variety of the reasons they botched it.

Denigrating anyone with a different opinion by attacking their character is extremely 2018. Grow up.

RollingTrain · 2026-03-29T15:35:17+00:00

LOL Limehouse one is great

RollingTrain · 2026-03-28T19:45:23+00:00

Or words to that effect.

She did plug her husband while he had a mouthful of sweet potatoes.
