Agree. Thought last nights epi was really well done. Heck Raylon isn't even the most interesting character on the show any more.

Great TWD tonight. High tension. Poor Andrea but that is what happens when you sleep with the enemy ... Does anyone know how many episodes are left? Should be a big ride to the end of the year.

Next weeks is listed as pentultimate(second to last) in entertainment weekly...

I hate to hammer this point, but after watching Justified last week, there is no reason why this show is limping along towards the finale. More padding...Andrea spends the whole episode trekking to the prison, annnnnddddd ohsoclose. Minor developments with Tyrese and the gang...the only real revelation was Milton's apparent decision to declare a side. And I am sorry, but after going so far out of their way to recreate the Governor he is now almost full on Mr Burns handwringing evil. Morrisey and the writers seem to have completely lost their handle on trying to present him as an actual character and not a one dimensional stereotype. Nothing truly bad will happen to Andrea, there will be a death or two(Herschell? Carole? Andrea? Definitely Milton) and they will find some way to have a solid 20 minutes at the end of the last episode causing us all to hope that the change of showrunner will reinvent the series for 10 months just to get sold a bill of goods again. True Blood all over again.

Agree with you. Justified is just so willing to push itself and not care whether it is there next year or not. AMC is too far in control and too worried to lose their big hit. They will allow the limping to continue. After seeing the chains and all I thought, maybe, just maybe we will see another reference to the book but then the end changed all that. Too bad.

Cool, Like Gregg Henry(Slither/Payback/Super) and That Sleepy Hollow show is sounding interesting.

LOW WINTER SUN Trailer. LOW WINTER SUN Stars Mark Strong | Collider

AMC has released the first trailer for the network’s newest drama series, Low Winter Sun. Based on the 2006 British miniseries of the same name, the show is described as “a contemporary story of murder, deception, revenge, and corruption” and centers on the fallout from the murder of a cop by a fellow Detroit detective. Mark Strong looks to give a solid performance in the lead, and fans of AMC’s other series will recognize a few familiar faces like Lennie James (The Walking Dead’s Morgan) and David Costabile (Breaking Bad’s Gale). The tone feels like a cross between The Wire and Breaking Bad, and I’m looking forward to checking out the pilot

High hopes for this one. Great cast.

No wonder Shawn Ryan has been bashing AMC lately, Id be pissed too if someone stole my show and remade it. Looks like an AMC version of The Shield.
