Also they explicitly said "it's not purgatory" a thousand times which was only true in the anger-inducingly factual sense that "it's not purgatory… yet."
This was such a slap in the face to the fans.
I also don't even remember anything about the purple light. Although I will saw the big reveal of the hatch at the beginning of season 2 is awesome. The show has amazing moments. It's a shame it just ended up being a big shit heap.
Fortitude is reaching Walking Dead level of taking key characters out..
So wonder if they are going to resolve stuff on Fortitude tonight… The end of last week's episode was crazy…

Watching Fortitude makes want to watch the UK version of Low Winter Sun since it's the same writer. The US version was good, just couldn't see how it could go past one season, seeing as the big reveal was in the first episode.
I thought Low Winter Sun (the US version) was a television abortion.
I think most of the appeal of Low Winter Sun was the hey that looks familiar since it was filmed in Detroit. There was one really great scene where they were rockin a track from the first album by Death…
new true detective looks AWESOME….really wasn't excited about the casting at first, but this looks great

Did no one else watch Justified? A little inconsistent at times through the years, but when it was on, it was really on. Like Olyphant's prior gig - Deadwood - it never really got its due during its run but will probably get noticed after its demise.

FX really has been killing it with Justified, The Americans, Fargo, etc but their positioning of their shows as "miniseries" keep them from getting an Drama Emmy nods that would make more people take notice.
Season 2 of Justified was definitely the best, they just never had a villain as good as the one Margo Martindale played since then. Her pot queen pin role was the best.. Last season is kinda plodding along, with a couple good moments

Deadwood was great and he was fantastic in it
First time I saw Tim O in GO, I knew he was going to be someone to watch
although, I couldn't ever really get into Justified

Wynn Duffy will outlive us all, though.
Agree on season 2 being the best.
Lots of great minor characters throughout the series. Sometimes the show got a little too hokey/cutesy with the hillbilly stereotypes. Other times the dialogue spun its own fantastic vernacular, but not with the consistency that Deadwood did the same. Boyd Crowder had his moments, but he was nowhere near the foil to Raylan that Ian McShane was to Seth Bullock.
And Olyphant seems only to succeed when playing the morally conflicted lawman.

Yeah season 2 of Fortitude already announced!
Would appreciate an HBO Go password! Unfortunately that new HBO service isn't available for Samsung TVs :(. Anyone catch Game Of Thrones last night? Gonna watch it after work! Very excited. Winter is finally here I think…
We dug coal together.
That's right.
That's right.
daredevil is quite good, they definitely nailed the look and feel of frank miller era daredevil
