Thank you for the kind words, [b]egmiller[/b]! We just let them rant. Hope for a season four! Not only did Barlow funnel money through Nighthorse to support Branch's campaign for Sheriff, he also made a significant payment made to Nighthorse's business the week that Martha was killeda payment intended for a "soldier," with no questions asked. Cady clearly saw more than the wound. Now, Im finding that my current favorite show might be cancelled? It was moving to see Walt's body language, as if he were still reaching out for Martha as the remains sifted through his fingers. [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)] [/color]Because in the Northern Cheyenne lexicon the owls are basically messengers from the camp of the dead, they fly the hanging road, that belt of the Milky Way I can definitely see where the writers could have used that meaning in the Branch and Barlow ending. I like Longmire, but it would much be better with more daring writing and less predictable plots. He started asking about Ridges, once he put two-n-two together. I thoroughly enjoyed the finale even though the conspiracy about Marthas murder had holes large enough to drive a truck through. We hear the shotgun blast as we see Longmire looking concerned while scanning the landscape, as if he heard it, too. But Vics Walt punched me leveled me. Who called Walts home phone? Fabulous scene-entering-good dictation. Heres hoping. Later, when Longmire and Henry lug Miller Becks coffin back to where David Ridgess body is being kept, they find out from Ferg that someone picked the lock and made off with Ridges. It sounds kind of Longmirish. Teens Break-in to House to Bake Marijuana Brownies. 7:21 pm, Barlow basically admitted to hiring Ridges through Nighthorseto inflict pain on the Sheriff so he would lose it and drink himself out of the office of Sheriff so Barlows son Branch would win the election in a land slide and he would have influence in the highest office in the county to which he has a LARGE stake in the Indian Casino and still have an upper hand over the Indian Tribal Council though his SON the SHERIFF and become even more wealth and powerful. 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. . If Vic and Walt actually got romantic, the characters would seem more predictable than if Vic gets divorced and meets a new man. He releases her ashes onto the ground where he promised 'til death do us part years ago. It is A&E fault for poor promotion of Longmire from day 1. Reading peoples comments on Twitter, Facebook and etc. 2:11 pm. Pretty sick, right? What a hoot (owl pun intended). I also agree that there seems to be more to Barlows malice toward Walt. August 5, 2014 @ Walt refutes this, however, saying that he has never loved. Jane Davis Barlow had Walt's wife killed because she was leading the charge against a proposed Casino in the county. Now, how long do we have to wait for season 4? Great end to the season! Longmire is the best show on TV PERIOD! I do. It is this unpredictability that contributes to the success of Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. 7:20 pm. Glad you asked this? I wonder if there is a deeper connection between them. But once Walt realizes Barlows involvement I can see him forgiving Branch. Read them in order to get the full development of the characters. Those story arcs were part of the cause for so many Vic haters and strong feelings Walt and Vic should not get together. Lets hope another network is smart enough to pick Longmire up. 1:34 pm. cleaned Walts wounds at the Red Pony. SEE ALSO: Of course, we're covering Season 4 of Longmire,starting with the premiere Down By the River! Snowdogmom, we have had discussions in other forums and I have always found your opinions insightful. S3 was too much serial story. I think the whole Martha being killed story arc wasnt needed. Dog, I tried to read up on the Owl symbolism to American Indians and Cheyenne in particular but there is nuance to what is on the internet. It was innocent, but she drew the conclusion it wasnt. Mr. Taylor did an excellent job in portraying grief and relief in that powerful moment. I think he may have done this in hopes of keeping Walt from getting closure and keeping him off balance. I just want a season 4 and would really like more episodes per season although I doubt that will happen. What is it with these people? I hope Branch isnt dead, but it seems like he might be and sometimes great characters have to die to advance a story.of course it could be his father who was shot, so.. Cindy Pierce What exactly was Branchs dads motive in killing Walts wife? A New Old Western that premiered on A&E on June 3, 2012 based on the "Walt Longmire Mysteries" novel series by Craig Johnson. The ONLY TV program I will go out of my way to watch period. The owner of the company, Barlow Connally, paid Ridges to kill Martha Longmire. Cheers for Season 4! Very much appreciated. Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) finds Branch Connally (Bailey Chase) walking down the road, shotgun in hand. She was on 24 a few seasons ago. [b]bitsyo8[/b], Regardless of a season four Im almost positive that Longmire and these actors will be returning in one form or another. I have no problem with that and felt Sean should have been (as in the books) gotten rid of in season one and the entire Gorski plodding plot was unnecessary and/or WAY too long. So Ifeel theres a very good chance. SunnyinFL August 14, 2014 @ It is only natural, that these two with similar personalities and needs would eventually be drawn together. Sorry, this is terribly long but like everybody else Ashes to Ashes left me with so many thoughts and questions. I noticed the writers tried to fix that by claiming that Vic did not know he was married, but by then of course, it was too little, too late. Whatever happen to the lady that had the hots for Walt? To characterize some viewers as haters or trolls because they have different view about characters or storylines is a bit harsh and unfair. Barlow admits to paying him to send Ridges to Denver the week that Walt's wife was killed, in the pursuit of having Branch replace Walt as sheriff. 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. August 5, 2014 @ Best episode yet! A&E gets first right of refusal, and then any other network could work out a deal with Warner. In this storyline and others, they went against book canon. 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. Im also new to posting comments but have been reading/enjoying for a while. Communi-Fan Thanks for a place to express my pent up thoughts, lol. This is especially true of Henry Standing Bear. I just love this series. Katee SackhoffVic cant help lovin that man WaltKatee amazingly portrays Vics tough-tender personavivid and vulnerable, Ruby and Fergthe icing on the cakecant have this cake without the icing, Peter Weller and Gerald McRaneyI am longtime fans of both actors, and they are terrific counterpoints to Robert Taylor, Robert Taylor has such a wonderfully, subtly expressive face and eyes that say so muchyet he is physically imposingthat man can really clear a tablealso a deskand that voiceyessireevote for Longmire, A year is an awful long time to wait for Season 4I vote for Season 3.5. Bailey Chase and Katee Sackhoff certainly deserve some recognition for their intense scenes. Favorite line remains, If you do the job right, Walt, by the time you put down your sheriffs badge, youre a wanted man. PBS is doing the same thing with the final three episodes of Poirot. Then in the Red Pony Henry says to Vic I think you are spending too much time with Walt you are picking up his speech patterns. Perhaps as someone else mentioned he could be mayor or something. Its a writing tactic that allows the audience understanding of the plot point. Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. How many times was it that hank nearly got killed or could've ended up being on a wheelchair possibly for his entire life bcz of Walt. And I appreciate everyone that joined in the conversation over the past ten weeks. 2:11 am. Im sad to read sometimes that there are Longmire viewers who really dislike Vic, I LOVE her character, flaws and all. When Branch asks what he has to do to earn his way back in, Longmire replies he doesnt know. They have nothing worth watching. August 7, 2014 @ So as you said we all have a right to our opinion and that is mine. Jeffrey Apparently there are other folks who have gotten interested because Im on the waiting list for #4. One of the top five shows on television period! August 5, 2014 @ Later in the novel it is revealed that Carson Wells, a hired assassin hired by a local drug . With the close relationship that all the Longmire executive producers have shared with TNT, Im surprised they took Longmire to A&E with their reputation with scripted dramas. Its been a lot of fun reviewing the show each week and meeting so many other fans of the show. August 5, 2014 @ I think it was ridges. Until recently I assumed it was a given and Longmire was just working its way there nice and slow. It gave us everything we hoped for to see him no longer have to be on the run. Daddy Barlow was revealed to be full-on, evil crazy. 1:36 am. I dont want to jinx it but I cant see why another network wouldnt pick the show up. why f with a good show. I feel like the Longmire writers gave us a study in variations of a familial crazy gene this season. Ive had the same problem with getting new people to get interested in Longmire, though, that [b]Dog[/b] expressed. They recover the body, and Longmire gets to reach into the deceaseds seriously macabre-looking skeleton to pull out the featherthe main piece of evidence that finally clears Henry. Very slim possibility I know but I dont see the Branch/Barlow relationship ending this way. Im not sure that Walt and Vic are a done deal. Isnt that where people left notes for Hector with requests for his services? I have to say I was a little disappointed in the finale. I have unfortunately read too many threads where if you didnt agree with the relationship or didnt particularly like the Vic characterization, you were termed as jealous or a hater. The official moment he was free and the plan worked was beyond emotional. Barlows hiring of Ridges to kill Walts wife was more likely a power play to get rid of a potential adversary in the Sheriffs office, replacing him with his own son. I think what Henry said to Branch about returning to his job under Walt after he lost the election has a much deeper meaning now. AMC. That moment gave us an idea of how much this character holds himself back emotionally, as have several other powerful eruptions of Storm Walt on Longmire (office wrecking!!). Aha! Having sufficiently stoked Walt's rage, Barlow then draws a gun so Walt shoots him, twice. Gutted by what could have been, she loaded a single bullet into her gun and went into the woods. Following the miscarriage she suffered in episode 4, she went on a drive and came close to killing herself she had the bullet locked and ready to go, but she emptied it out when she realized that she couldn't go through with it. I watched unlocked Season 3 episodes as part of A&E channel on my Roku. Who was shot? Multiple reports claimed that Harry Styles, Elton John, Robbie Williams and the Spice Girls have all declined to perform at the coronation concert on May 7 on the grounds of Windsor Castle. 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. I mean it was a continuing success for A&E even with a dip in the third season. Was anyone curious who took off in Walts truck just prior to David Bridges attack in last weeks episode? Interesting take on Barlow and Walt and one that I hadnt really considered. I do hope Longmire is renewed for another season. Another controversy involving Branch was the killing of Walt's wife. I believe the scene was added, along with Branch visiting the corpse, to throw some suspicion (a red herring) his way that he was capable of swiping the body. Much more about power and money than the benefit to Branch. And her worst suspicions appear to be confirmed when she finds an empty beer can Rainier . Branch will make a comeback in one form or another, and I do not believe this show will be cancelled, moved to another network perhaps, but A&E needs this show. Thus far, weve been treated to a relatively small cast, just a few major players, and only a few important families. Visit our. Was it a symbol that he was at risk of dying? Unless there is something business wise (contract negotiations going on?) I dont want to see Branch turn into the nemisis of the Sheriffs department. wonderful season ender season 4 newel should really be a no brainer. Celebrity. Luckily, Walt's daughter proved herself to be more than capable. It seems like a far fetched plan, but the man turned out to be ruthless, especially if he killed his own son. Hey that must be why they killed off the REALLY insubordinate male deputy. I think were in for a long wait on that announcement but I certainly hope Im wrong. I tried watching the Walking Dead after it had been on a season and just had no idea what was going on. Why did Henry take Hectors drop jar?. Arcs settled. Good fare & the TV series does not really follow the books story lines, so its not redundant. His line that son of a bitch Walt Longmire sounded like he has a deep hatred for him. For basic cable, I would suggest TNT. I hope that Branch got the better of his father and didnt get killed. August 6, 2014 @ redapple2 Billy Rayburn Heres hoping for season 4 !! this show has been great and has kept you interested with each show. And how do Baldwin/Coveney, the producers, fit into the picture in terms of ownership and clout? Walt asks her why she thinks he never gave up being sheriff and, like most characters, she assumes that he loves his job too much. Quality programming takes yet another hit in favor of more trash TV. Henry seeing the jar full understood there was still a real need for the service Hector provided. I really dont want to see Walt & Vic in a relationship. The only way I stumbled on Longmire before it premiered was because of the wasteland of programming and I happened to be watching The Glades which promoted Longmire. When someone takes a couple of shots at Nighthorse's house, Vic fears Walt may have been the shooter. I tought The Red Pony was sburned down in s3.09? Btw thank you for all your comments this past season. Is Barlow that big a sleazeball? He had confronted his father about the $50,000 payment supposedly paid to Jacob Nighthorse. 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. You never saw Branch actually die. note(s) (requests) in it. J and B I think Craig Johnson believes in the death symbolism because of a story he tells about seeing an owl before he heard that Tony Hillerman had died. Of course we wont get a 4th season. I read that Longmire DVDs and Blu-Ray sell well on Amazon and elsewhere but then do those buyers find it on TV? Do that , then watch the ratings go UP UP and way UP! The for group can also rant, just not as loudly. I dont think we know who killed his wife. This is a fine series with superb acting, writing, and production values. they deserve to stay on for several more seasons. Great episode tonight!!! Havent seen her lately . The sexual tension between Booth & Bones was great, having them marry was not. She made it clear that she was done with Walt before slamming out of Walts house. 3:35 am, I believe that was how hector would get hisjobs. August 5, 2014 @ 4:13 am.
