I myself didnt like the Gorski storyline. He is the predecessor to Walt Longmire. Fabulous scene-entering-good dictation. Available on Kindle. She had stopped at a campground where she fixated on a happy family laughing and holding hands. Shareen Ive enjoyed the weekly re-caps, as there is always some little gem that I missed while watching. Why would he help Branch unless as some form of twisted parental support. If you tried to ask about the season 1 DVD or when it would show up on Netflix you got no answers and Netflix hadnt even heard about it. Angry and spiteful at having lost to Walt, Barlow came up with one last plan. August 5, 2014 @ Your email address will not be published. It is unfortunate that the writers are unlikely to consider having Branch kicked off completely. In the pilot was the owl Marthas spirit whose killer needed to be found and punished? Reading peoples comments on Twitter, Facebook and etc. Of course he has some serious apologizing to Vic. He feels responsible for Hectors death, prelude to Henry storyline for season 4. emsA2 I wanted a like button fro your comments. LadyDi Or Branch just grabbed and deflected the shotgun. Im not sure that Walt and Vic are a done deal. I have to say the Baldwin/Coveny written episodes are my favorites. The Glades and Longmire were both on Sunday night for season 1 of Longmire. When it comes to Henrys case, we spent most of the 70 minutes basically convincing ourselves that the guy was going to go back to prison. The Most Evil Things Walter White Ever Did. thus setting Branch free to be his own man, thus creating another It can be very frustrating . Lou Stefano . He killed her years ago in the hopes that it would lead to Branch being elected sheriff? I dont know details but I know the arrangement between Warner and A&E and A&E wanting more of the profits was the stumbling block last year. More questions in the air. Not a dry eye in the house! Since we were new to the series, we watched from the beginning and got hooked ! DrewOFB, you are welcome. He started asking about Ridges, once he put two-n-two together. I noticed that they were not so obliging this year. Looking forward to Season 4! Not surprisingly, the fracas brought an end a temporary one, we can only hope to their friendship, just at a time when Walt might need all the friends he can get. As to Branch and his dad. [b]emsA2 [/b]Appreciated your take on the VicWaltship. I totally agree. Lots more too about the Longmire books and TV show, glad I found it. As much as we enjoyed his little jaunt with Walt to prove the existence of a certain feather, it didnt look like it was going to matter. PBS is doing the same thing with the final three episodes of Poirot. Great episode, great season! Unless there is something business wise (contract negotiations going on?) In Ashes to Ashes does the owl symbolize that Marthas spirit is still unquiet, that Longmire doesnt have it all figured out as completely as he thinks he does and is on the wrong track going after Nighthorse with a vengeance he feels Martha will need to forgive him of? No words needed. The exchange between Longmire and Henry as they navigate the cops into helping them out is a comical routine, Henry playing a grave robberwith two shovelswith lawman Longmire hot on his heels. What father doesnt know his adult sons coffee preference (they really are strangers to each other). Great writing, solid acing performances. S4? Yes, fingers crossed for a season 4. The humorous scenes between Walt and Henry were indeed a welcomed return. Bailey Chase and Katee Sackhoff certainly deserve some recognition for their intense scenes. 6:26 pm. I just want a season 4 and would really like more episodes per season although I doubt that will happen. Zahn McClarnon does a very good job with that character. Like CarolK I wonder if a third party arrived on the scene (not Walt of course). I have to say I was a little disappointed in the finale. I did LIKE the Lizzie story-arc, what it revealed about Walt and Vic, how it was part of his healing process and then how after Cadys accident it was used to display one of Longmires most virtuous flaws: that overdeveloped sense of responsibility for everything that in this instance leads him to think giving in to Lizzies seduction led to Cady being in a coma. That character added tons this season but Im with you on Henry, Vic, and Walt interacting more. The first time we see the owl is in the pilot. Gutted by what could have been, she loaded a single bullet into her gun and went into the woods. It works in the books and it took Craig about four books/four years to get there. So thats why (in terms of story justice) Longmire got to shoot Ridges himself, even though he doesnt yet know that it was Ridges who killed Miller Beck. Im a late arrival and havent read most comments, but, to answer Edwards question as to why Ridges wanted to count Branchs coup, I think it was because Branch got nosy after Cadys car accident during the election. ! moments (insert voice of Annie Savoy, Susan Sarandans character in Bull Durham, responding to Crash Davis little speech about what he believes in in matters of the heart) Ive ever seen on TV. I also wonder whether Walt receives this news in time to prevent him from killing Joseph Nighthorse. I love that it can do case of the week episodes while still having small, multiple episode arcs, as well as season and series-long arcs. First, Id like to raise. Great show. Another indication of people not liking storyline or direction ( not necessarily regarding Walt/Vic) is the decline in viewership. Is Branch dead? Longmire is the best show on tv PERIOD! As it turned out, Beck was hired to kill Martha by a go-between named David Ridges, who himself was secretly working for greedy Wyoming land developer Barlow Connally. It would seem for outward appearances they are after the quick buck and not entertainment thus the cheaply made farsical reality fiascos. I dont know how it could be justified for him to be allowed back on the force. Futhermore, I feel that Walts wife was robbed my a meth-head and accidently killed. LOVE THIS SHOW!! We found Longmire during season 2 and fell in love with this program. [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)] [/color][b]Dog[/b]/[b]emsA2[/b], I just read the interview where Craig Johnson says, But, sure, its a possibility. The only reason I watch A&E is to watch Longmire. As the scene closes with Branch getting ready to take in his corrupt father, maybe hoping to earn his way back into the department or just because hes realized that hes not like his dad, Branchs father says hes sorry he failed him, but its not too late to have another son. Also, being vocal about your feelings on a subject is the only way to convey them. What would be the best network for Longmire to find a new home, assuming A&E pulls the plug? 4:13 am. Who was shot? . Do they have to pay Warner Horizon Televison everytime they show an episode and it costs double during prime-time or something? It follows the adventures of Walt Longmire, a Wyoming sheriff attempting to keep the peace in his county while recovering from the loss of his recently-deceased wife. 7:01 pm. Well, Im afraid weve discovered the other side of that coin, as this weeks 10-year jump felt a bit too jarring. The interplay between Henry & Walt seems true to Craig Johnson books. emsa2, I think Walt deserved a drink after what hes had to deal with and more than a Raineer. She is devoted to her job and justice and cares about the victims so it is not surprising that Walt is so close to Vic and has developed feelings for her. Season 4? Outside the office, Longmire bars Branch from going in. But all this begs the question, if Barlow Connally hired David Ridges to kill Martha Longmire, did Ridges do the deed himself, or did he outsource the murder by hiring Miller Beck? Branch could have given a warning shot to tell Barlow to stay put.

I think Walts wife had a crusade to keep a casino from being built on the reservation. So as you said we all have a right to our opinion and that is mine. What was Barlow talking to Jacob about on those survalience tapes? So, onto Zachary (Barry Sloane). Longmire fan 308 Isnt that where people left notes for Hector with requests for his services? Isnt that what Netflix, etc. Additionally, why not take out Walt? And Walts not going to kill anyone, especially not the wrong guy! The other thing I found interesting in this article was that at the time it was written there was talk about trying to cast Dog and finding it really difficult. So, we wait and see if A&E is really about ENTERTAINMENT and renews Longmire. August 5, 2014 @ Besides, I would not want to give up that amazing scene in The Election where he just says what the hell, goes back in, throws off the hat and jacket, sweeps the table clear and proceeds to ravish Lizzie right there on it. Also was intrigued about Henry taking the jar. Barlow then revealed a knife and stabbed himself twice, further framing Walt for his murder right in front of him. I am pro- what I call The VicWaltship but not in any hurry. The scene of Vic, Ruby, and Ferg staring out the window at displaced, disturbed Deputy Branch is one of my all time favorite images for this show. I cant see that person living in the half finished cabin or driving that Casi-NO bumper-stickered car. Cant wait! And Walts revenge! We both felt the same regarding the Gorski storyline and although I am not a Walt/Vic shipper, our discussions have been respectful and I appreciate that. I didnt know the renewal of Longmire was an issue with A&E. August 12, 2014 @ this show has been great and has kept you interested with each show. [b]bitsyo8[/b], Regardless of a season four Im almost positive that Longmire and these actors will be returning in one form or another. Kodi2k6 Another controversy involving Branch was the killing of Walt's wife. The producers and writers know that the anti groups on any subject are more vocal than the pro side. He pulled a gun on Walt who was forced to shoot him down. Hopefull, if there is a S4, they can move forward much more freely. I just dont see Branch getting into big business, he seems to really love law enforcement and digging into the truth of crimes, even if that truth exposed his father. That was my conclusion also. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)] [/color]. Why this and why that? What exactly was Branchs dads motive in killing Walts wife? I mostly lurk here but have followed these recaps and enjoyed them very much. Havent seen her lately . He has spent most of his time jumping to conclusions, excessively whining about doing his job, politicking, and getting into unnecessary conflicts with Walt. I, too, enjoyed the one-liners and am glad that Henry is now free of his charges and glad, too, that Fales had his come-uppance. I loved the finale but I hate the wait to find out what is next. A red herring so to speak. I did notice Cady eyeing them, when Vic naturally and caringly He expressed the dignified despair of Henry Standing Bear so beautifully. I laughed at Walt & Henrys grave robbing antics and cried when Walt let Martha go. 10 episodes is pretty good for a season. When key players do the deed, it is often the demise of the show. Anyone else, would have been perfect. Who knows what A&E will do? But there is clearly a strong strain of it in the Connally family. Crossfire is a series about three families who are staying in a holiday resort on a Spanish island when gunmen come into the premises and begin to shoot. Stranger Things 5 premiere date: Our hopes for March, A Million Little Things season 5 episode 5: No Place Like Home, Chicago PD season 10 episode 16 return date hopes on NBC, Kung Fu season 3 episode 13 (finale) spoilers: Finding Xiao. Looking forward to season 4! Hopefully he reacted fast enough, but then again they both had clayshot simiar to the Dick Cheney shooting so its very survivable. I read somewhere last year that they had come under new management. I have watched Longmire from the beginning of S1 and then I read the books. Could have been nothing, might have been something, thats what I like about this show. As to Branch and his father, I believe Branch shot his father but as to your comment, Penny, about this not being the kind of show where the main characters die, I remind you of The Good Wife. We didnt see that one coming either. [b]01whitty[/b], Im sure that was what Barlow was counting on but he was also taking a very big risk that Walt doesnt throw himself into his work to overcome his loss and work through the pain. Michael M. Robin is an executive producer on Longmire and also serves as executive producer on Dallas, The Closer, Major Crimes and as consulting producer on the first two seasons of Rizzoli & Isles. I doubt Barlow paid to have anyone killed to help Branch. Longmire picks up the lone wolf who has been out in the cold for a majority of this season, desperately trying to convince anyone whod listen that the White Warrior was alive. If the finale is an indication I think the writers will develop the Walt/Vic relationship slowly and do it right, it will work, and not be the typical main characters getting together to the detriment of the show. Finale did not disappoint. Florida Gov. NEeds to be more episodes. DeMaris from Tillsonburg Ontario Canada. Cant wait for Season 4!!!! In tonights finale Walt was driving it like it was never stolen/borrowed. Fabulous scene-entering into the morgue, the silence prior to dropping off Branch, the looks between Vic, Ferg, and Ruby, the wonderment and humor of this finale (2 shovles? Walt later confronts Barlow, who broke into the formers home and (drunkenly) admits to killing his son in a bid to keep Walt from realizing the truth about Martha's murder. Communi-Fan The continuation for three Pretty sick, right? What a hoot (owl pun intended). I bet a lot of Longmire viewers watch Major Crimes. It seems like a far fetched plan, but the man turned out to be ruthless, especially if he killed his own son. Announce a Season 4 and give us at least 12 episodes! Andrey is a coach, sports writer and editor. His line that son of a bitch Walt Longmire sounded like he has a deep hatred for him. Is Barlow that big a sleazeball? What happened to Jacob Nighthorse at the end of Longmire? 2:11 pm. I am sure if the show is renewed that the writers will be going full steam ahead with Walt and Vics romance. Normally we have to wait for weddings for this type of, Remember last week when I praised House of the Dragon for not holding our hands while it zoomed through the story? Bailey Chase, with his increasingly desperate, haunted face and those electric blue eyes has given Branch much substance behind the swagger. By Jesse Clark / Sept. 28, 2021 5:31 am EST. Longmires been sheriff a long time, must have gotten in Barlow Connallys way many times over the years. Its been a lot of fun reviewing the show each week and meeting so many other fans of the show. Heck, its logging more viewers than many network shows. Just leave it as she died of cancer like in the books and then whole Henry being charged and arrested would not be needed. I think Warner Horizon produces Dallas and Rizzoli and Isles but dont think Shepard/Robin/Baldwin/Coveny are invovled.
