Justified is over for good. I'm not sure what to think of the ending. It wasn't a shocker, but I do have some disappointing thoughts. I still loved the show and I'm glad it didn't end like Dexter or Sons of Anarchy.spoiler

People are too sensitive!
Also, I'll say that there were parts of the books I really enjoyed (I would have finished them if I could just pick and choose which characters' chapters I could read. haha), and what I've seen of the show is great, but I just can't understand the intense love for the books that it seems to have.
It's too much!
Oh my God, Ricky!
An index of horses is great!
Overall, Justified had a fantastic run. I really loved the modern day Western feel and Raylan is one of the more badass characters in TV history. If I'm being honest, the second half of the series was no where near as good as the first half (and I'm not easy to please when it comes to TV .) I think the high point of the series for me was season 2 with Margo Martindale's character. I loved that whole moonshine storyline.
I'm with you on the ending though. I was actually expecting something a little more explosive (no pun intended) between Raylan and Boyd.Spoiler:
All in all, a very solid show and I hope people discover it on Netflix in the future.

I can't believe so many people are having a hard time reading the A Song of Ice and Fire books. They really aren't that difficult at all. Especially the first book (Game of Thrones). Sure, there are a lot of names and places, but it's a fantasy book. What fantasy book doesn't have a ton of weird names and places? Actually, many of the names in the series are pretty normal (Jon, Ned, etc.) more normal than The Lord of the Rings for instance. Rings is a perfect example. It has tons of names and places to keep track of and people don't complain about that.
As for The Americans, it's a really solid show. Unfortunately, I think it's destined to be one of those shows that finds its following after it's gone off the air.
I agree that people are too sensitive and there is nothing wrong with speaking your mind, but there's also a right and wrong way to conduct ones self and to convey your message. Sometimes people have a hard time with that idea. It's not what a person is saying a lot of the time, it's how they are saying it.

I'm not surprised to see many people having a hard time getting into Game of Thrones. I've noticed a disinclination toward high fantasy.
One thing for certain is that it's a damn shame for those that aren't able to stay with it. It is one of the richest, most rewarding reading experiences I've ever had. Martin's foresight, attention to detail and dexterity while juggling a mountain load of lore and mythology is something to admire. The sheer horsepower of his imagination is staggering. If he is able to stick the landing - and there is no reason to think he won't - this series will stand as the towering achievement it was always destined to become.
I actually did read LOTR. Written in a different time period, but I loved it and I understood it all.....I think. I honestly never truly tried to read Martin's saga, I didn't like people saying it was better then LOTR and because I heard that, it made me instantly hate Game of Thrones. However, I love that type of genre, so instead I read pages of synopsis' of the books to get a basic idea. I started to watch the show and truly really enjoy it. It'll never beat LOTR in my eyes, but I re-watch episodes when I have time. Though the backstabbing bothers me, I still like the show more then most. Then again, I'm not sold on many of the characters besides John Snow and Daenerys. All the other characters I really likespoiler
I'm not sold on all the Stark kids. I don't like the ones that remain.

@Ricky. Assuming with your avatar of Captain Flint, I'm guessing you finished "Black Sails" season 2? My opinion is this. What an absolute amazing season finally. It was like an hour long movie jam packed with violence, story, new and old alliances, and great questions for season 3. My buddy complains for a show about pirates, they don't spend enough time on the water lol. I agree, but I don't feel that the show has to be exclusively on the water fighting and pillaging. That finale was something I will watch again for sure. It was simply an eye opener, and I was awed and that doesn't happen for me very much.

Yes! Oh my God, what an amazing finale. I totally agree with you. I think it was as close to perfection as it could've been (actually, the final three episodes were all amazing), and has made me even more excited for Season 3.
I do wish that there was more "pirating" (i.e. ship battles) as well, but the on-island action that we got this year definitely made up for it.
They're introducing Blackbeard in S3 so I'm interested to see where that's going to go. There are some theories thatSpoiler:
(On a related note, I've been trying for weeks to find a legal, downloadable copy of Nick Cave's new version of "Avalanche" that was at the end of episode 9, so if you happen to find one, let me know.)
A NEW GAME BEGINS
@Ricky. Are you talking about this?

Also, I forgot my buddy and I were raving about the last 3 episodes. Some of the best TV sequences in a long time for me. I am excited for a possible new character as you mentioned!
@Ricky. Your mailbox is full and I can't send you a detailed email of how to help you.

I know that what I explained has been out for years and tons of kids use it and as far as I know it is 100% legit. As in, no hiding yourself with VPN's to hide yourself from your internet provider for fear of getting in trouble. Not to completely change the subject but I know the TV show "Stalker" was one and done for a season. I simply liked the premise of it, though it was pretty much the same show every episode. My point is that the music in it, to me, is fantastic. Remake songs of stalking type songs. Musicians like Denmark and Winter doing Every Breathe You Take and some others. And I used this method to "get them" and can now play them whenever.

I spelled John's name the way you are supposed to lol. Hey, isn't it SUPPOSED to be Giovanni????? I dated this girl once and her name was Josephine. She spelled it Josaphine. I couldn't handle it!
I'm just currently not a fan of the kids. I grew to love Rob and look where that got me? I do love Jon/John, but he is a bastard. I do love how they throw around the word bastard a lot like, "Yeah he's a bastard. Screw this guy, he's a bastard." I think it's funny. We still have time for the Stark kids to change for me to like them, but currently they all seem like annoying whiners. I love the Stark family and I am rooting for them to take over the world. I'm hoping they grow up and change as the story progresses.

Game of Thrones. A buddy and I talked before about Jon Snow and I'm really curious if his guess is right. Giant opinion spoilerI'm really curious if this is true.spoiler

Correct. Not sure about the last part but you're right about the other thing.
Obviously just a guess. I'd love to know if people actually had solid proof on this information. I know it's just fiction, but how cool would it be if my buddy was right or someone knew the truth before hand. I'm thinking way to much about a TV show . AS for the last part, guess, people were debating the seventh book title and that was an idea forspoiler
