For Refreshment Only Sundays starts the year off with a BANG BANG from Justified’s Timothy Olyphant!

I love a strong start, so we’re going to begin this year’s FROS with hot-blooded Marshall Raylan Givens, played by hot-blooded Timothy Olyphant.

Let’s take a peek at Marshal Givens, shall we?

**puts wrists together and holds them out** Take me to jail, Marshall. PLEASE, take me to jail. Or wherever.

If you haven’t seen Justified, you’re missing a wonderfully complex show. You’re also missing this:

And this:

And this:

Yeah. I thought so, too.

Happy First FROS of the year, my loves! I hope your week is just as warm and promising as Timothy Olyphant!!!

    He is kinda hot. Definitely rugged and I wish that this week would be fun but Acheron has an abcess on his leg and it needs to be drained and flushed out a couple of times a day. Gross, I know but it needs doing to keep him healthy. Fingers crossed that I’m not made sick from it.

      He’s very hot. Seriously hot. You need to see him in action. Seriously.

    I have watched this show but he is mighty fine. I do like that side zipped jacket he has on. LOL

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Any guy who can rock the side zip look is a M-A-N in my book. :)

    I didn’t realize he was so mighty fine. The show comes on when I always seem to be busy with something else. I need to starting DVRing it and catch up on the back episodes. Would definitely be worth my while. Had heard the show was good. Didn’t know there was eye candy.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Definitely worth DVDing. It’s a complex story, but fascinating.

  4. Freshechelle says:

    He’s one of those guys who half way through the show I IMDB him and decide he’s one to watch. Just the right kind of handsome – not too pretty, not to chiseled (face-wise).

    Thanks for a real nice start to the day

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      I agree. He’s going to age — and is aging — very nicely. Definitely one to watch.

      And you’re welcome! I aim to please.

      Btw, keep an eye out for next week. :)

    What a nice transformation from jacket to shirtless! I just may have to transform my own self into a Justified watcher. Starting out strong indeed!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Heh! It was subtle, no? :)

      He’s awesome. I love the series, too — so many amazing characters, terrific writing, shocking twists and turns!

    I haven’t watched this show. I definitely need to remedy that oversight! He’s smokin’! Anyone up for a little crime spree?

      I’m with you, Louisa! ***revs engine*** Jump in and let’s go!

    I first encountered Timothy on the show, Deadwood. He was absolutely “spot-on” on that show and for Justified as well. Sexy!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Deadwood — ah, loved that show. It’s like Raylen was written for Tim, isn’t it? Perfect casting.

  8. kez says:

    DH and I love to watch Justified. It is so complex and you never know what kind of a ride the writers are going to take you on next. Timothy does such a good job with his role.

    What a good FROS choice Karen! Thanks for doing such arduous research for us.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      You’re description of Justified is spot on. LOVE that show and LOVE, LOVE Olyphant as Givens. ***happy sigh***

      So glad you approve!

    Not some bad Eye Candy to start the year out with… I would like to join him on that beach as it is snowing and I could use some HEAT….

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Kathleen, I think he’d warm you up. Here’s to hot tea and scones until you make it to the beach.
