[Justified] A Murder of Crowes

Mr. G

This is Deputy US Marshall Raylan Givens. He's an asshole. He's also the best damn lawman in all of Kentucky. He's good at one thing in particular.

This here's Boyd Crowder, the slickest criminal in all of Harlan County. He and Raylan are always halfway to sharing a beer, and a beer away from shooting each other. They dug coal together.

There's one thing all the Marshalls and criminals of Kentucky have in common: they're all sick of Raylan Givens' bullshit.



The first 4 seasons are available for streaming exclusively on Amazon Instant Video, available if you have Amazon Prime.

Justified returns January 7th. This season's all about Dewey Crowe and his family. Holy hell, you guys, this is gonna be a good one.

THESPOOKY

I just started Season 4, after getting it on DVD for Christmas

God I love this show

It's one of the few that makes me wish I had cable

Balefuego

If I could sum this show up in one scene it'd be the moment where Raylan busts into Wyn Duffie's trailer, throws him to the floor, takes a bullet out of his gun, and drops it on his head.

Then says: "The next one will be coming faster."

In bar conversation last night I said, in what I thought I was jest, "Yeah, my favorite genre of fiction is where people talk fast and sometimes shoot each other."

And then as we started talking about my various favorite shows/movies, I realized, "Oh, whoops, I guess that wasn't really a joke and was more just an accurate statement."

No, the real summary is the deposition later where Raylan has to explain why he did that and one of the attorneys questioning him goes "holy shit that's the coolest thing I've ever heard"

And Raylan just goes "yeah i heard it on Johnny Carson once and thought it sounded cool"

Grey Ghost

I'm very slowly working my way through this
I'm only in Season 1 still as I tend to watch one episode as my light-hearted cooldown from Breaking Bad, and I haven't watched BB in a little while, so

Dead Legend

I love Justified

Dead Legend

Also no more input from Elmore Leonard

Grey Ghost

wow there are some real scumfucks on this show but I think Wynn Duffy just jumped to the top of the list

Mr. G

i love

wynn duffy

Balefuego

Justified has so many great villains

Mr. G

Wynn Duffy and Boyd are easily the smartest villains on the show because they know exactly what Raylan is capable of and never underestimate him

Balefuego

One of my favorite things about Duffy

season 3 spoilers:

How he slowly comes to the realization just how fucking crazy Quarles is and decides that he made a huge mistake teaming up with him so he starts playing him against Raylan so that they will kill eachother

Mr. G

I don't think they've said if Constable Bob is returning but god I hope he does

He's genuinely a fantastic character in addition to "oh my god patton oswalt is a character on a great drama how nuts is that"

I have a funny story to share about this

I got Justified S4 for Christmas, while at my aunt and uncle's house. They regularly do this thing where they know other people from the community who don't have anyplace to be for the holiday and they invite them over. This year it was a couple, people around their age, whose kids weren't coming home for the holidays. They joined us for dinner, and I was sitting near them and started talking, and turns out he is the constable for the town that I went to college in. We're chatting about that for a while, he's talking up the gun he carries and his bulletproof clipboard that he serves his warrants with, his years of practicing tae kwon do, you know, all that stuff. Very cop stuff. Which I was down with, because I love talking to cops about cop stuff, but on the ride home my stepmom was just nonstop complaining about him. He was a braggart and so competitive and showing off his sweet muscles (about half of this is true, and about half of it is my stepmom being totally insecure). Anyways we argued that like the whole way home, 'cause I defended that bravado as being a necessary component of doing a job where you just might get shot at sometimes.

Overall, it's not a great story, but I did learn about bulletproof clipboard from it.

And then I watched that first episode of Season 4, the one that had been sitting just ten feet away from me during that entire conversation with him.

I could not stop laughing about Patton Oswalt's character.

It was such a perfect dark mirror of this guy, it was amazing.

wiki lists him in the season 5 recurring cast, but dunno how reliable or accurate that is

PaperLuigi44

If we're talking Duffy scenes then The Harlan Roulette one is also great.

Mr. G, you're good people.

I take no credit for anything

That's the name of the Season 5 premiere

Lord_Asmodeus

So I got a free week of Amazon Instant Video so I could watch some Stargate SG-1 on my PS3.

This looks like I should also be watching it.

Balefuego

yes, you should do that

Justified is the one typesetting I don't think I've ever used

spoilers about returning characters this season:

If wiki is to be believed

Not only are we getting the much needed return of Dewey Crowe, but Judge Reardon and Loretta McReady will both be appearing this season

Give me an entire episode of Raylan, Loretta, and Boyd bantering

101

I think between this and True Detective my quota for southern cop drama is pretty much filled.

e: It also looks like we're getting more Duffy this season, which oh my yes more Duffy.

PaperLuigi44

If I'm going to continue with this theme has anyone got any good ideas for a Justified sig? I'm thinking one of the images from the intro myself.

Mr. G

AV Club - "Like its characters, Justified is capable of change"

Guest star spoilers

holy shit david koechner and dave foley are in this season what the hell

Poorochondriac

!!!

Balefuego

That is a thing I love about Justified, how each season is it's own very distinct kind of story.

Season 2 is this very southern gothic tale of feuding families.

Season 3 is a Tarantino-esque crime epic with multiple factions

Season 4 is a big mystery story

Poorochondriac

Season five romantic comedy?

It's always magic when Timothy Olyphant goes on Conan

Mr. G

Raylan Givens: Inflatable Popper

Balefuego

if we don't get more of Will Sasso: Canadian Hitman who loves Tim Hortons donuts, I will be disappointed

Dead Legend

Well I'm fired up.

Too bad I have to watch the show with loud people who don't care

Mr. G

I'm kind of bummed David Koechner's character is probably just a one-shot

He fit surprisingly well into the world and served as a great guide and contrast to Raylan now that he's a new father

knitdan

On Detroit mob stuff

I kind of love how fast the Detroit mob went from being the kings of everything, with everyone in their pocket, to "huh, I guess they're all dead now."

Theo Tonin is a guy everyone is terrified of

Wynn Duffy's facial expressions during the entire exchange in that building were amaziiiiiiinnnngggg

Also love the description of Detroit as being like Iraq but with better music.
