The fourth season of Justified doesn’t premiere for another two months, but slowly, bit-by-bit, pieces of information about it are dribbling out. First there was the teaser trailer, which didn’t really reveal much of anything, but was still pretty important because WHOSE HAND IS THAT? And whose boot? Is Raylan okay?! And where’s Ava?! Tell me more immediately or I will hold my breath UNTIL I DIE. Then later we found out some news about Patton Oswalt’s recurring role as Constable Bob, a cop wannabe who undercuts the state police in the paper-serving racket. Good. Great. Grand. Wonderful. BUT TELL ME ABOUT THE BAD GUYS ALREADY.
Done. (Spoiler-y info ahead.)
In Season 4, we’ll head up into the mountains of Kentucky to meet the hill people, a dangerous backwoods group of ruffians who aren’t all there, if you know what we’re saying. The leader of the group, Cope Entiss, tends to capture and kill any outsiders who trespass into their territory. Turns out, though, that one of the hill people, Mary, recognizes Raylan… and may be related to him. [Zap2It]
Oh God, I want all of this in my eyes right now. I want Raylan to march up into the hills, possibly with Boyd, and start shooting hill people two at a time for offenses ranging from “attempting to kill him” to “just kind of standing there and looking like an asshole.” And I want Winona to come back to town and get all pissy about it, like “Whah won’t you ever chaaaiiiinnge, Rie-lan?,” to which Raylan will respond “Guess I just can’t,” causing Winona to pack up her crap and flee to Lexington or Memphis or Whereverthef-ck Junction in a huff, like she always does. And I want Ava to whack and/or shoot somebody who got lippy, and I want Art to be all “Awwww dangit, Raylan,” and I want Tim to be a sarcastic dick about everything, and I want it all as soon as possible. I don’t think I’m asking too much.

Everything about this post makes me smile. Thanks, DG.
Jesus I want this now. Nothing gets me more excited than the prospect of shooting inbreds.
NO YELLING ON THE BUS
“In Season 4, we’ll head up into the mountains of Kentucky to meet the hill people, a dangerous backwoods group of ruffians who aren’t all there, if you know what we’re saying.”
I do KNOW what they’re saying! I can’t wait. Hill people.= about time Justified!
“the hill people, a dangerous backwoods group of ruffians who aren’t all there, if you know what we’re saying.
OHHHHHHH. So many of them have gone vacationing in the Cayman Islands.
Wynn Duffy better be a part of this season.
He’s too busy watching women’s tennis.
They don’t like to be called “hill people”, it is “elevation-accentuated Americans”, please.
I thought the preferred nomenclature was “people of hills”?
Well, there is a bit of a split amongst the groups. I think people in West Virginny prefer that term mostly.
Justified meets Deliverance and Wrong Turn… Im all in
oh god this sounds like the best idea of all the ideas
This is the only instance where I’ve wanted a cop show to have another version. I really want “Justified: Alaska” starring Liam Neeson and Alicia Witt. Jewel can head up a clan of weed smuggling backwoods thugs on dogsleds and Tomas Jane can fill a Wynn Duffy like role.
The Hills Have Eyes And I Have A Boner
In S4, Raylan Givens comes face to face with his deadliest adversary yet: A ruthless posse of twenty-something reality television starlettes who aren’t all there, if you know what we’re saying.
Hill People are actually just Crab People…
taste like crab, talk like people.
All of this. Immediately.
But…”Is Raylan okay?!?!” Hey man, I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention the last three seasons, but Raylan is ALWAYS okay.
Speaking of the constable thing, they’re actually trying to eliminate the office in Kentucky now. It’s apparently outdated and no longer useful. This comes after a constable shot a woman for shoplifting in Louisville last year.
THis seems sooooo far away
I love this shit…this shit gets me hard.
Hill People aren’t “all there?” Raylan may be related to a Hill Person? IS ARLO A HILL PERSON?
Someone better derisively call Raylan a “flatlander”
Fingers crossed for long-lost twin played by Timothy Olyphant in a fake moustache.
Oh. My. God. SO much win…
Will he twirl it? I hope he twirls it.
