Longmire.

I thought it was alright. I'll watch again next week. Some great shows have had a slow start. As it sits now, it's not even close to taking any viewers from Justified.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new series Vegas as well.

I liked the second episode last night. Thought it was pretty good.

Too bad there wasn't any guns to criticize.

 

[StatesRightist]

I agree, it got better last night. I hope they'll utilize Katie Sackoff more.

This episode was better - I enjoyed Katee Sackhoff prying info out of the guys at the strip joint.

I do think they need to release Lou Diamond Phillips from his dumb dialogue instructions to never use contractions - it sounds like a redo of Tonto from the Lone Ranger series. "I am" vs. "I'm," etc. Surely most native Americans can speak contracted words as the common colloquial standard by now. That was almost as bad as John Wayne once playing a Mongol, using the same formal, correct but annoying English. It stands out by being pointless and tedious.

Living in Wyoming I will reserve my opinion until a few more episodes............
Was bothered by the reference to firearm "registration" in Wyoming and a few other points (buying an AK47 from the Internet; obvious anti-gun message there).

Don't hold your breath on local accuracy. Those of us from Harlan, now living in Lexington Kentucky watch Justified but do so with a squint as they have the geography perspective and some local flavor wrong. They have the accents down cold but Raylan would be driving a Silverado or Yukon, not a Lincoln and I doubt he would carry a Glock...even if issued. Oh, and we don't have neo-nazis in the mountains. Meth-heads, YES, neo-nazis...not so much.

I wasn't thrilled with the first one but did watch the second......better. I will tune in next week also. The Mennonites depicted in the episode were much more conservative than our local Mennonites around here but they are all good folks. Keep shootin' and check 6

Lived in Buffalo WY for 5 years and kept seeing "movie extras needed" in the local paper.Could it be filmed near Buffalo ? Ucross, not much has changed there.
A Sharps 63 percussion could take 5 min. to load if you're not experienced loading one,getting the breech open after the first shot is where the 5 min. comes in.

Getting better.

Yea, especially since Longmire is filmed in New Mexico, not WY. BTW, most of Justified is filmed in the PRK.

Disappointed that the sheriff didn't find out that his deputy (who's running against him) is dating his daughter. I knew it was him as soon as the sheriff made the comment about the lock not being installed right - that sounds just like the bonehead.

Yep, Justified opening sequence is Harlan Co., but after that...Cali all the way. First two or three shows were filmed outside of Pittsburgh but that was it. Lexington is Pasadena.

At least they haven't tried the "local airport" yet. In Harlan that is a scrapped off mountain top 2700' single runway that drops off 800 feet into the local cemetery, should you fail to find lift.

I can't believe all the complaints about the gun references and their inacuracy. Come on, most of the target audience has no idea. It's entertainment, not a gun class.

 

[tripledipper]

A good episode. Still think about Ms. Sackhoff as the wacko in "24" but she will shine in this one.

 

[CO_Kid]

Finally had an hour to burn and watched the first episode last night. Not great, but not horrible. I'll give it another shot.

The one thing that stuck with me is when someone on the show stated that there aren't any modern 45-70 guns. Someone might want to tell Ruger that their 45-70 no. 1 single shot isn't supposed to exist.

Anyone looking for movies out of Hollywierd that are technically and/or historically accurate will end up watching darn few movies...if any....

... Lou diamound phillips is half phillippino and probley doesnt have much more indian blood than me either! I like him, but why doesnt some indians protest?

Lou Diamond Phillips is an eighth Cherokee. "His father was an American of Scots-Irish and one-quarter Cherokee descent, and his mother, a native of Candelaria, is a Filipino of Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Hawaiian descent." -Wikipedia

He grew up in Corpus Christi.

Sorta like my nephew who has Irish, Scottish, German, Japanese, Filipino, Korean and Chinese blood.
