On Tuesday, January 7th, the moonshine-soaked, bullet-riddled world of Justified's Raylan Givens (played by Timothy Olyphant) returns to FX for its fifth season. With guest stars galore -- including Michael Rapaport as Dewey Crowe's vicious Florida relative, Dale Crowe Jr. (and many more that I don't want to spoil for ya!) -- Raylan's going to have his hands full for sure. Fortunately, aside from his silver tongue and golden smirk, Raylan's hands are his most prized asset - able to unholster his firearm and unload into a creep's chest in the time it takes to blink.

The Draws That Started is Alls

"2 out of 5 stars. Was killed here. Would not recommend."

"I asked for unsweetened ice tea…"

Look at the framing! They don't stand a chance.

Yes, if there's one thing we can count on when it comes to Justified, it's hails of gunfire. And Raylan, being the quickest draw around (with an ever-growing list of victims), is sure to do his usual dance: The face off, the warning, followed by the BLAM! So before the Season 5 premiere - "A Murder of Crowes" - lands on our laps, here's a quick rundown of some of Raylan's best - and most justified - homicides, proving there ain't no one quicker on the draw.The Justified series premiere, "Fire in the Hole," was all about Raylan's temperament - especially when it came to his use of a loaded weapon. The first scene showed us Raylan sitting down with Florida mobster Tommy Bucks (Peter Greene)...…and then prompting Bucks to draw on him so that he could draw back - quicker and deadlier...Not only did this incident get Raylan transferred back to his home state of Kentucky, but it showed us that he was the kind of Marshal who was going to operate just barely within the boundaries of the law. He didn't outright murder Bucks - except that he did. He'd previously told Bucks that he had 24 hours to leave town. Then he showed up and informed Bucks that he was going to draw when the clock showed the 24 hours were up. Which then caused Bucks to panic and give Raylan the opening he needed.Later on in the series, we found out why Raylan was dead set on nesting a bullet in Bucks' chest.By the end of the pilot, Raylan had also put down his long-time "frienemy" Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins)......who had showed up to Ava's house uninvited. And lacking the magnificent Boyd Crowder spiked-up hair that we've come to love over the years.Originally, Boyd was supposed to die in the pilot, but test audiences (who I suppose get a few things right occasionally) loved him so he was brought back in the second episode and remained a recurring part of Season 1. After that, a regular. Even further still now, a legend.Not long after the series premiere came the episode "Long in the Tooth," which featured Raylan and Rachel (Erica Tazel) heading out to California to nab a fugitive dentist (played by Alan Ruck). There Raylan encountered two hapless mobsters, desperately out of their element. Especially when thrown together in a wild west-type photo like this...Raylan tells the first guy that if he takes one more step, he'll shoot.The guy took one more step. Raylan shot.Surprised by the loud noise and lightning speed, the second goon (the one by the car) raised his arm and…POW! He got dropped as well.Shady Justice: 1Bumbling Gangsters: 0The Season 3 premiere saw another sinister "sit down" - but this time it was Fletcher "Ice Pick" Nix (Dexter's Desmond Harrington) on the other side of the table. Nix's trick? Well, he liked to fool people into thinking he was fast on the draw. He'd place the gun on the center of a table, betting the other man that he could grab it first. Only when the other guy would reach for it, Nix would stab down on their hand with an ice pick.Nix didn't consider the tablecloth here though, and the fact that Raylan - his Marshal-Sense tingling - figured out that Nix wasn't going to play fair. So Raylan grabbed the gun and, in an episode appropriately named "The Gunfighter," took Nix out with a single shot to the shoulder. Turning Nix into one a unicorn-rare breed: A man who faced off against Raylan and lived.Seriously though. Nix had even held Winona at gunpoint. Raylan must have been feeling gassy.
