No One Man Should Have All That Power

January 24, 2012

You can bring one hundred people to a grinding halt with the push of a button.


A very loud button.


Try not to push the button accidentally in the middle of a basketball game.


People will look at you funny.


Also, we're still using the same scorebook from three years ago when I was the coach.  So that's fun.



Linkage:
Please watch Justified.    
Watch the First Season (above) if you want, 
but please watch Season Two (below).
[You can skip straight to Season Two if you want.  You'll figure it out]
It's so ridiculously good.
  We both want you to be happy.
You work hard. 
You deserve it.

Last night's episode of Justified was an example of why some newcomers find it a little hard to embrace the show initially. In the first episode we caught up with Marshall Raylan Givens, his ex-wife, current lover, and soon-to-be mother of his child, Winona, his fremesis, Boyd Crowder, and all the other characters, old (Art! Tim!) and new (guy from Detroit!). All the chess pieces were laid out. Then, this week, the game switched to checkers.
As mentioned last week, there are two Justifieds: a serialized, epic, darkly funny Kentucky noir and a way (way) above-average cop procedural. Last night's episode, "Cut Ties," was more of the latter.

Kanye!
In honor of the title of the post.
