Especially Margo Martindale as <i>"Maggs"</i> (the mother)?<br /><br />After she's laid down the law to her sons that the "<i>last</i> thing we need is a <i>Fed</i> snooping around our business", one of the idiots later declares that <i>he</i> "ain't afraid of no Fed."<br /><br />To which his more level-headed brother responds, "Well, how about <i>mama</i>?!!! You afraid of <i>her?</i>"<br /><br />Shortly afterwards, after the first one went against her orders, she takes a ball-peen hammer ("Don't worry; I'm not going to hurt your <i>shootin'</i> hand.") and demonstrates why they damned well <i>better</i> be afraid of her.<br /><br />Like <i>Deadwood</i> the show is <i>loaded</i> with fascinating characters (but without the language issue to deal with).<br /><br />Timothy Olyphant has found a very worthy successor to <i>Deadwood</i>, and he's even allowed to show a sense of humor this time. :-)<br />-Paul Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530815397182777195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474839973577967601.post-84844096559283235122011-04-21T19:30:08.168-05:002011-04-21T19:30:08.168-05:00I love "Justified". You have good taste ...I love "Justified". You have good taste in TV shows. I did not realize that Boyd was originally supposed to be killed. I had not fully considered what you correctly point out as the deliciousness of the character, and as the excellence which the actor brings to the role. I like the way Boyd flipped between sincere Christianity, then insincere Christianity, then - when Earthly opportunity presented itself as a large enough payoff in wealth and power - Boyd kicked Christianity to the curb and dove headlong into Earthly things. I can relate. Earthly pleasures rock, for just a bit, and then they turn to agony. And knowledge of this does not prevent me from wanting, oh so much, to partake.gcotharnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10912428161978690599noreply@blogger.com
