justified raylan and hotrod

[@JaimeGirl]

Raylon Givens-stone cold badass. Facing down 6 men, all armed, by himself-and not even blinking. And what made it awesome was that no one thought to draw on him. He laid it down with no show of weakness or uncertainty-and seems to me Hotrod knew he’d kill them all. Timothy Olyphant did an absolutely brilliant job in a role he was born to do, and man he nailed it with a sledgehammer

[@chrisjzh]

If we gave Raylan some hollow point ammunition he would basically be an Avenger

[@MarkShank]

I think your take here detracts from the character. Raylon’s point was that he knew that he would give more than he got and he didn’t give a shit how it played out. Furthermore, when it was all said and done, if they prevailed they would have killed a federal Marshall and had to deal with the almighty wrath of the federal government.

I always felt like this was his superpower, beyond him being a crack shot, was his ability to make (most) people see that making him take his gun out would have deadly consequences for everyone involved.

I have watched this series multiple times and I always notice some little subtle detail that I missed before. Great writing, attention to detail, and great acting (with a few exceptions).

[@JadeCordova]

First thing I noticed with Space Raylan too! Always kept his gun hand near his weapon

[@RomnysGonzalez]

And every single time he walks into possible dangerous situations he pull his jacket of his gun side back leaving it ope so it doesn't mess up with his draw and showcasing "I got a gun, i got a star and ain't afraid to use them" and his right arm always laying on his belt while talking and walking into those scenarios. This show is FILLED with details and tiny observations that serve as storytelling and better representations of the characters. Raylan leaving his hair long to represent he's being careless,focusing on the job too much and drinking so much he doesn't have time to get a haircut, his not usage of the hat during some episodes went he's truly off his game and mad/angry or frustrated with something happening on his life recently.

“They killed Casper Johns…he wasn’t with the crew; he was just living with us at the time.” It’s the little things that make these stories…Raylan remembered the man fondly enough that he felt it was warranted to say his name; and wanted to make it clear that Casper Johns was probably a decent person, not associated with Arlo’s criminal crew. It also shows that hospitality was still very much a cornerstone of their home; letting this person live among them for whatever reason.

The thing I like about this show is that Raylan was a WHOLE different beast with a chip on his shoulder and he ran wild using the law to justify his behavior, but, that beast had a sharp mind and a moral code. I'd say that he would end up either a law man or an outlaw but he was too smart to be an outlaw, so he went into a branch of service that let's him have the freedom to be an outlaw with a badge, and everybody was afraid of him. They didn't know what to do with him or how to deal with him, and heaven help you if you crossed him because he is that good and never had a problem cashing the checks his mouth wrote. Absolutely brilliant character and I like that we get to sit shotgun and watch his life go from the out of control, angry wild man to the mature, seasoned man and father he was at the end.

Loved the scene in the pilot when he first met Dewey Crowe, and explained to him about drawing his weapon. Dewey was dumber than dirt, but deep down I think Raylen had a soft spot for him.
