THE OLYPHANT IN THE ROOM: Just a quick note to say, hey, Justified is bad-ass. I was going to post last week that it was one of those perfect pilots, brisk and efficient as an Elmore Leonard novel. Then I thought I'd give it a week to get musty as it departs from the source material. The scene with Boyd felt a little monologue-y and tacked on. That's my only complaint, though. I love how the principal villains both weeks have been both intelligent and amiable, and how Olyphant's givens seems exasperated to realize how much he has in common with them. Also, he's bad-ass.
