Fall may be the peak of great television, but the first half of the year has had its share of quality TV, and it's time that we paused to take stock: Which TV shows are worth going back and watching? What are the best TV shows of 2012 so far? read more

The writers on Justified enjoy their episode titles. This season alone we’ve gotten an Elvis Costello song reference and a line from The Wizard of Oz. Thus, it is worth noting that the final three episodes of the season have had single word names. The meaning is clear; all the fun and games are over, this is serious business now. We had Measures then Coalition and finally tonight, Slaughterhouse. read more

In the end, it all comes down to character. Character, as Heraclitus said, is destiny. We should know exactly how things are going to end up, seeing as we know these characters like we’re related to them at this point (any resemblances these characters may have to any members of my actual family are purely coincidental). Yet somehow nothing ever seems to go quite like I imagine it on this show. read more

During the first two seasons of Justified you could sense the way things were shaping up; there was an order that the pieces were falling into. You might not have known exactly how it was going to play out, but there was a sense of inevitability and looming resolution. read more

This was not a good week for our hero, Raylan. Not that things were good before, what with Winona leaving him and the consistent upward current of animosity between Raylan and Robert Quarles (to say nothing of Raylan’s relationships with Arlo and Boyd). But those are small potatoes and easily lived with compared to the tsunami of serious problems that hit Raylan in unison this week. Let‘s recap. read more

Somebody should have warned Quarles before he came down to Harlan County and started stirring up trouble. There are certain rules and regulations to dealing with folks in Appalachia but there’s only one that you really need to remember. Never make things personal. read more

There are two primary constants in this season of Justified. One, as the stakes heighten and the plot thickens, every character must draw some lines in the sand, both for themselves and for the friends and foes around them. Two, those same characters then start blurring those lines as rapidly as humanly possible. read more

“This is the price we pay for the life we live.” -Ava Crowder Someday Justified is going to be one of those shows that mass communications departments spend an entire semester on. Of course, there’s no need to limit it. Many departments could get involved. Classes could be taught in anything from philosophy to sociology to economics to, this week, basic anatomy. Ethics and the Economy will be taught by Professor Limehouse. Ellstin Limehouse lied to Dickie Bennett. The Bennett fortune still exists (though Limehouse claims it is nowhere near the $3 million that Dickie suggested). The most interesting thing... read more
