The Return of Justified

I have been patiently awaiting the return of FX's Justified, which returns tonight (January 8th) for its fourth season.  Timothy Olyphant's Marshall Raylan Givens is a combination of failed partner (in love and life), good ol' boy charm, and serious lawman.  After three seasons of fighting local drug lords, distant mob hit-men, and mining companies, it will be interesting to see what he faces this season.  The FX summary says the following about the new season: 

Raylan will start to pick at the thread of a cold case over 30 years in the making, unraveling a riddle that echoes all the way back to his boyhood and his criminal father’s bad dealings. Meanwhile Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) finds his grip on Harlan loosening due to a Pentecostal preacher with a penchant for theatrics and a knack for manipulation to rival his own. 

I am happy to read that Walton Goggins (as Boyd Crowder) is still with the series.  Given his recent performances in the movie Lincoln, as well as his guest appearance (see below) on Sons of Anarchy, I was afraid he might have moved onto other things. 
Walton summarized the new season in a Men's Health interview in this way:

There’s going to be some love, some motherf**kers are going to die, just to be blunt, and the pieces on the board are going to move further toward a showdown between these two men, Raylan Givens [Timothy Olyphant's character] and Boyd Crowder. What more could you want?

Sounds like we are in for another good show.
