Justified, Season 4, Episode 3: “Truth and Consequences” Written by Benjamin Cavell Directed by Jon Avnet Airs Tuesdays at 9pm Et on FX -
In case you hadn’t gotten the memo that Justified‘s fourth season is going to be a vastly different beast from those that came before, “Truth and Consequences” might give us a better sense of just how things are going to operate this time around. For all the rhetorical bluster and speaking in tongues, Joe Mazzello’s Preacher Billy appears to already be out of the picture (though his shifty “sister” remains). Imagine if Robert Quarles had gotten his arm lopped off back in episode 3.3 and you have some idea of what Justified looks like without a Big Bad. While it’s a little sad to see Mazzello off so soon, his last sequence, with Boyd tempting him into a foolish demise, is effective and nicely paced.

While this week’s episode, “Truth and Consequences” was certainly watchable, it was somewhat of a disappointment. Billy died from a snakebite, falling victim to his own blind religious fervor, which seems really premature. Joseph Mazzello really shined as Billy, especially this week, and it is upsetting that his time on the show was so short. Also, Raylan is duped by Lindsay and Randall, who were apparently in cahoots the entire time. Uh, really? Not only is it illogical, it’s not exactly fitting with Raylan’s history as the man least likely to be taken in by the blonde floozie. Raylan is one of the most astute characters on television – nothing gets past him. Also, the Drew Thompson/Waldo Truth mystery is getting boring real fast, y’all… and muddled to boot. The pseudonyms, the drug cartel, whatever… it’s either hard to follow or hard to care about (think, probably...

Stars: Timothy Olyphant, Nick Searcy, Joelle Carter, Jacob Pitts, Erica Tazel, Walton Goggins, Patton Oswalt | Created byElmore Leonard, Graham Yost
‘Truth and Consequences’ is a great example of the more novelistic approach that Justified is taking this season. Hell, it’s like reading a greasy, grimy fifty cent paperback. Sure, there’s the overarching plot that starts the season, and has continued on through these episodes but there’s a lot of character moments going on with all the different mini-plots as well. The slower pacing allows for characters to really show out who they are, and dammit a solid pulp mystery is always welcome. In other seasons, the characters would bounce around in each others’ stories, chartering the path of the plot. but now, everyone got their own supper to sing about if you will. Hell, I’m not even certain that Boyd and Raylan have spoken a...

Spoiler Alert! In this week’s episode of Justified, “Truth and Consequences,” written by Benjamin Cavell and directed by Jon Avnet, Raylan’s underwear drawer got robbed and Boyd’s latest visit to Preacher Billy’s Last Chance Holiness Church came to a tragic end. As he’ll do throughout the season, showrunner Graham Yost takes us inside the writers room. (Read our recap here.)
Entertainment Weekly: So Lindsey (Jenn Lyon) admits to Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) that she used to get close to men to find out what they had to steal so Randall (Robert Barker) could take it, and he still trusted her.

Since the back half of Justified Season 1, I have stated that this show merges self-contained episodic story lines with long running seasonal arc better than any other. I never thought that I'd say this, but through three episodes of season four, the FX drama may be doing it more impressively than ever before.
Not only have the stand alone stories been entertaining, but they have all been linked together seemingly more so than in the past. In the Season 4 premiere, Raylan was making some extra cash when he found the bag and started to inquire about Waldo Truth. In last week's "Where's Waldo?" the Marshals went after truth and subsequently learned about Drew Thompson.
Now, in "Truth and Consequences," they went after Thompson for a majority of the hour.
Everything is pulled together so nicely, but because each hour has its own feel, is its own entity, you never finish...

Before he started work on Season 4 of "Justified," executive producer Graham Yost heard a bunch of questions about who would be this season's Big Bad. So many, he says, that it prompted him to take the show in a different direction.
"Just the way they said that, in that kind of tired, we-know-what-to-expect way -- I thought, Ok, we're not going to do that this year," Yost said in a recent interview. "It was a conscious attempt to mix it up."
Rather than dealing with a new adversary this season, Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) is delving into a 30-year-old case (inspired by the "Bluegrass Conspiracy" case in the mid-1980s) involving a fugitive, a bunch of missing drug money and quite possibly his own family. The case has also drawn Raylan's boss, Art (Nick Searcy), out into the field.
"He has sort of a personal connection to [the mystery]," Searcy says. "And,...

By the end of tonight's episode, Raylan is consumed by two mysteries: what happened to Drew Thompson and what happened to Lindsey?
At the beginning of the episode, Lindsey wants to make clear to Raylan that Randall is no longer her husband. She divorced him after he went to prison - again - for getting into a fight defending her. Raylan's concerned, but temptation gives in and he presumably sleeps with her.
Raylan later goes to challenge and potentially provoke Randall into violating his parole -- even after learning he already did when he left the state of Florida. Randall refuses to leave and Raylan plans on visiting him later. When he does, however, he sees that he's already left town.

Spoiler Alert! In this week’s episode of Justified, “Where’s Waldo?”, written by Dave Andron and directed by Bill Johnson, the bag mystery deepened as Art (Nick Searcy) suited up with Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) and Tim (Jacob Pitts) to meet Waldo Truth’s family and learned they’re really looking for a pilot named Drew Thompson. And Boyd (Walton Goggins) paid Preacher Billy (Joe Mazzello) a visit and made Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns) a business proposition that he politely/violently refused. As he’ll do throughout the season, showrunner Graham Yost takes us inside the writers room. Read our...

One of the great things about Justified is how often so many things are going on... yet it never feels like too much is going on.
In "Where's Waldo?" our two conflicting protagonists were being pulled in a number of directions, both of which put Raylan and Boyd in some difficult situations early on in the season, but allowed the viewers to watch their struggles with joy.
Raylan, who was noticeably tired all episode long, seemed to have been working a couple more side jobs to make extra cash for the baby, all while dealing with the woes of his full-time gig, trying to figure what the heck was going on with his dad and the Truths and eventually getting blown away by the fact that his new lady friend was actually married.
All of these issues didn't stop Raylan from being Raylan, as we saw at very start when...
