TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

Coen Bros and FX in talks to make Fargo into a TV series.

Now, I'd rather the Coens use something new to create the greatest TV show of all time, but I'd still be way in for Fargo the series. Can't wait for the episode where Margie tracks down the prostitute murdering, Mike Yamagita.

It's hard to describe just how in for this show I am. Let me put it this way, I think I'm living a double-life Fight Club-style where when I go to sleep, I'm actually transitioning to a double personality that I'm not aware of. That personality just happens to be in charge of programming for AMC.

Are you ready for some period-accurate, racially charged football? AMC is developing a series adaptation of The Real All Americans, Sally Jenkins’ story of the famed football program at Pennsylvania’s Carlisle Indian Industrial School, and all of its rowdy, personally invested friends are coming over. Namely actor Tommy Lee Jones, whose Cherokee ancestry and background as an offensive tackle for Harvard have made him AMC’s preferred candidate to direct the story of U.S. cavalry officer Richard Henry Pratt’s 1879 journey into the heart of the Dakota Territory, where he recruited the Native American team that would wage symbolic war on the field against their Ivy League oppressors—a war that presumably rages on inside Jones’ very DNA, which may be why he's always making that face. Should it go forward, the series would become the network’s second post-Civil War drama dealing with racial issues next to the coolly received Hell On Wheels, though All Americans has the added bonus of (eventually) including the early stories of revered athlete Jim Thorpe and coach “Pop” Warner, potentially promising a broader audience. But fewer prostitutes, probably.

Tommy Lee Jones yelling exasperatedly is one of my favorite things in the world that doesn't involve naked ladies. This show is going to be nothing but that.

Tommy Lee Jones was an offensive tackle? Man, it's like people over 180 pounds didn't exist until the early 80s.

We whites sure had a hell of a time sporting it up back in the day when we wouldn't let other people play. I could've probably played baseball in a junior college somewhere if that was still the case.

Whoever worked out the plotting for Justified this year deserves some kind of special award, in addition to the fact that it should easily win for best drama in whatever contest it's eligible for. I think there are quadruple and quintuple crosses at this point, and for the most part I'm hanging with it. Just an incredible season.

I think it's taken a huge step forward this year. Other than the Mags Bennett arc at the end of season 2, I didn't really get the love for that show through the first two seasons. But this season has really been great.

The plotline is better, but the dialogue is just fantastic.

Raylan: I got mad ninja skills buddy.
Tim: Yeah, you know karate?
Raylan: And two other Japanese words.

Raylan: The S.S. Quarles is going under. You best swim like hell to get clear or the whirl pool will take you down with it.
Wynn: I believe they disproved that on Mythbusters.

Justified has been so enjoyable this year. The villains feel more like Elmore villains. The whole Detroit thing is awesome along with Sisco being on the show earlier. Quarles is probably the most despicable villain on TV right now, too.

The plot is a bit heavy with all the double crosses & trying to figure out who's on what side. Hoping that next week's episode will cap some of this.

If I spoil it, will I be banned? Or beaten, and then banned?

(No, I'm not going to spoil anything, I can't [expletive] wait to hear people go nuts at all the stuff that you're in for this season)
