They have this teed up for a major Dutton Ranch/Y:Marshalls crossover. Right now Tate and Carter have been kidnapped and both are in Texas. Kaycee is a US Marshall and has jurisdiction anywhere in the US and I could see an opportunity for a Kaycee/Rip/Beth team up to save the boys and clean out the cartel

---

I thought that as soon as they said in Marshalls that Tate was flying to Texas. But I kind of hope they keep the two shows separate, but I definitely wouldn't put it past them to do it for sure.

I voted Jackson in the primary, but switched over to Jones after some soul searchin’. I like the idea of a “political outsider”, but the smoke around Jackson scared me away the more I thought about it.

I was going to vote for Hudson in the AL Senate primary runoff but switched at the last minute for the same reason. Hudson's "outsider" status was enticing, but at the end of the day Moore has a pretty conservative voting record in Congress and is a Freedom Caucus member so he's at least fiscally conservative. Hudson has no record at all and was getting all moderate votes so I went with the devil I knew.

How a church handles church discipline is clearly laid out in Matthew 18:15-17

15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

Now in the case that you have laid out, someone that suspected he was gay should've gone to him and talked to him one on one to figure out the validity of their suspicion, and if true, then try to show him the error of his ways and hopefully he repents. And if that didn't make a difference, then they should've gathered a couple more people (preferably elders or deacons in the church) to go talk to him all the while not letting the rest of the church know. And if that didn't work then it should've been brought to the church as a whole to try to get him to repent. And if he doesn't repent then you excommunicate him from the church so that he doesn't poison the rest of the church (a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump).

But even after that the church should still try its best to get him to see his sin, repent and return to the church. Paul condemns the church at Corinth for not excommunicating a member that was in a sexual relationship with his father's wife in 1st Cor 5:1-13, but then also gets onto them later in 2nd Cor 2:5-11 for not trying to get them back into the church.

Church discipline is not only to try to help the offending person, but to also guard the other members from being "contaminated" by that sin. But while making an offending member leave the church might be necessary, it is equally necessary to try everything you can to win that person back.

You're about to be introduced to two of some of my favorite recurring characters in Wynn Duffy & Judge Reardon. :cheers:

Similar to Boyd's character, Duffy was originally supposed to die that first season, but the writers just couldn't do it.

quote:

---

Boyd Crowder is a better charachter than anyone on BB but the overall cast of characters on BB is just too much to overcome.

---

But it's not like Justified's cast of characters are a bunch of slouches. You have Raylan, Boyd, Art, Tim, Duffy, Arlo, Dewey, & Judge Reardon who I think are some top notch main to recurring characters. And Winona >>>>>>>>> Skyler even though they both kind of served the same role on their respective shows.

The only area where Justified was inconsistent with their casting were some of the "big bads". You had characters like the Bennetts who were top notch, but then you had the likes of Darryl Crowe who was painful to even hear speak.

i just have to get used to this almost western style modern show. 24 hours to leave town, wtf is that

---

But I also like the fact that the shootout isn't just glossed over and forgotten as the show goes on like it's an every day thing that occurs. His boss in Miami ships him back to Kentucky over it, Art holds it over his head in subtle and not so subtle ways throughout the series, the Miami cartel doesn't let it go even after he's shipped back to Kentucky because a cartel can't just let one of their lieutenants be done like that in such a public way, and all throughout the series when criminals first meet Raylan they're like "did you really gun down Tommy Bucks cowboy style at a Miami restaurant in the middle of lunch?" as if it's kind of become an urban legend because of how ballsy someone would have to be to give someone 24 hours to leave town and then just shoot the guy down in the middle of lunch at a restaurant when the time was up :lol:. That opening scene has a lingering effect throughout the show, and especially in the first couple of seasons.

Can I just watch S2 or do i need to watch S1 to really enjoy 2? I don't think I have 6 seasons in me though.

---

You will probably want to go ahead and watch season 1. Like I said in one of my previous posts, season one is more "villain of the week" than the other seasons, but it does set up Boyd's character arc which is important to the rest of the series including season 2. And the pilot episode and the season 1 finale are peak justified episodes. And while the middle episodes of season 1 are more episodic in nature, it is still pretty good television when compared to other tv shows (especially the dialog in the show).

Trust me, if you give Justified a chance you will not be disappointed. :cheers:

quote:

Season 2 is amazing television

---

I'm not going to die on the hill of Justified being a better show than Breaking Bad from the first season to the final season, but I will die on the hill of Justified season 2 being better than any single season of Breaking Bad. Heck, I can't think of a better single season in tv history than season 2 of Justified.

I found it to be bad, but the good kind of bad. Utterly ridiculous, poorly acted by several cast members, but entertaining. I had fun, but was consistently rolling my eyes. It’s a clear drop in quality from Yellowstone by every metric.

---

I agree with you. I watched it, and would probably watch a 2nd season just as time filler, but I'm also not going to be upset if it isn't renewed. They did leave it with the cliffhanger of the revealed big bad taking Tate to Texas basically as a hostage, which makes me wonder if they plan to have a crossover with the Dutton Ranch show.

Also, am I the only one that felt like Casey had zero chemistry with the blonde girl? It seemed like he had much better chemistry with the east coast girl.

---

Yeah he definitely had more chemistry with the black chick, but I'm starting to wonder if that could be purposeful since it looks like the blonde's dad was the big bad all along.

quote:

---

Also, the blonde woman on the team was a terrible actress, like noticeably bad, and the character’s actions didn’t make her sympathetic at all.

---

All of he actors/actresses are pretty bad, but the unit leader was almost unbearable to listen to for me. Man was his dialog rough, and I had no sympathy at all for his failed relationship with his daughter or his cancer.

Watch the preview I posted. Its appears Rip is now running the ranch. Walked into the bunkhouse and said get your gear out in ten minutes.

---

Yeah, but I mean running the ranch in the place of Beulah, not just the foreman.

Also I'm still wondering what is happening in that scene with Rip in their bunkhouse. He's telling all of them to get their gear together and that they have 10 min. But I have a hard time believe he's already running that ranch by the very next episode.
