Excellent writing and acting. It would be the same with a lot of other shows, coming in after several seasons. 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 was glad that the writers added some realism and had Walt suspend Branch although no doubt he will be back. IMO (2 cents), I think Barlow killed himself, Cady seemed wimpy to me this year, but in her defense, shes had a hard year. Instead, we have the possibility of Branch actually being dead thanks to a carefully-executed move by his father, and of the entire department in shambles. She seemed too girlie for him, half fainting violet, half stalker trying to force her way into his life. Did you hear his say that he cant make another fortune but he could make another son ? In contrast to AETV, AMC has been running Hell on Wheels episodes from ALL the previous seasons continously prior to the new season starting. Season 3s Wanted Man featuring Peter Weller was one of the strongest episodes. Boom! It is unfortunate that the writers are unlikely to consider having Branch kicked off completely. I doubt Barlow paid to have anyone killed to help Branch. They dont even respond on their various Facebook pages. Barlow then revealed a knife and stabbed himself twice, further framing Walt for his murder right in front of him. redapple2 [url=http://deadline.com/2014/08/longmire-cancelled-by-ae-will-be-shopped-elsewhere-826379/]http://deadline.com/2014/08/longmire-cancelled-by-ae-will-be-shopped-elsewhere-826379/[/url]. If Vic and Walt actually got romantic, the characters would seem more predictable than if Vic gets divorced and meets a new man. I loved how it tends to be fairly low key, relative to many other cop shows, and yet can still offer Longmire turns to strike the swine with a closed firstbut instead belts Vic squarely in the face! Penny I agree with you that Branch taking up his fathers company would be an interesting storyline if he doesnt get back to being a deputy. Or how about Walt finally appreciating that other blond woman who likes him? Im also new to posting comments but have been reading/enjoying for a while. 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. I really dont want to see Walt & Vic in a relationship. Kodi2k6 But once Walt realizes Barlows involvement I can see him forgiving Branch. But if he did, he died redeemed. August 5, 2014 @ J and B Looking forward to season 4! "The cowboy has always been a dying breedBut he takes his dying slowly, perched upon his steed." Once the Absaroka County sheriff, Lucian now lives in a retirement community where he often causes trouble out of boredom. I think Henry took the jar with requests for Hectors services because he is going to take over the role of providing justice to the Cheyenne when they cant get it anyplace else. 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. If you wanted to promote Longmire to others in prep for season 2 your hands were tied unless you DVRd it and had people over. I laughed at Walt & Henrys grave robbing antics and cried when Walt let Martha go. He just told Brach it was to help him to still try and win him over. 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. Huffington Post. I do have to note, though, that Branchs father did not say that he paid to have Walts wife killed. And I cant say enough praise for McRaneys acting. Best episode yet! Im going to go out on a shaky limb and say that there is the possibility Branch and Barlow did not shoot at one another. However, the writers make some odd choices so I would not be surprised if suddenly they try to write them as some great romance, but I hope that Cady gets a new love interest. Its shame Longmire has no help from a lead in show. Longmire season 3 finale review: Do we know who killed Walts wife? In a season of incredible performances from the whole cast, Robert Taylor delivered powerfully in the scene when Walt finally lets go of Martha. Futhermore, I feel that Walts wife was robbed my a meth-head and accidently killed. And it feels like during season 2 we got all of this episodes reveals about Branchs father. August 5, 2014 @ All the new summer offerings from all the networks have been a big disappointment. I will say a prayer to the Corporate Gods tonight that they see their way to continuing this good show and if not, Ive got a feather for them. Major Crimes as a lead in I bet would bring in more viewers to Longmire. I didnt know Longmire existed until a few episodes in last season. It had been lost for most of the season because of the heavy ramifications of a looming prison sentence. I think Walt looked at that owl at the end of Ashes to Ashes with surprise and wondered why are you here when I just laid you to rest? 4:18 am. Though Walt had successfully been found innocent despite the efforts of Barlow's associates. It was still able to hook me so that by the end of S2 I was head over heels. And I can go either way on arcs versus standalones. Please bring the Longmire BACK even if it re runs. He feels responsible for Hectors death, prelude to Henry storyline for season 4. emsA2 I wanted a like button fro your comments. But praying to the Corporate Gods cant hurt! This is a fine series with superb acting, writing, and production values. Of course, but not all different opinions are negative, some criticisms are constructive. I found it odd that both season 2 and 3 ended with Branch getting shot. Also was intrigued about Henry taking the jar. fantastic drama, pulse-pounding action and emotional catharsis. Let us know in the comments below. I just got Detective Fales name this episode (Fales = Fails). Free through late August. . In case you dont know already the people behind The Closer are the mostly the same people behind Longmire. August 5, 2014 @ 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. Great season finale! Having her out of the way would allow Branchs father to move forward with the construction of the casino. Unfortunately, that was just what Barlow wanted him to do: The gun was empty, because Barlow wanted to make it look like Walt murdered an unarmed man. S4? However, once we got near the end of the episode, thats when some of our anxiety really started to settle in. 9:24 pm. Walt Longmire (Robert . Barlow had Walt's wife killed because she was leading the charge against a proposed Casino in the county. But it appeared Branch used both types. Cant wait for Season 4!!!! I like Longmire, but it would much be better with more daring writing and less predictable plots. I dont know how it could be justified for him to be allowed back on the force. Branch could have given a warning shot to tell Barlow to stay put. look at two n half men . Barlow had Walt's wife killed because she was leading the charge against a proposed Casino in the county. Lingerie needs to come back. Im sure the writers have been to all the boards and taken note of viewers feelings, hence the change in the Gorski affair storyline. I always enjoy learning a little more about Craig Johnson and this remarkable world he has created. To characterize some viewers as haters or trolls because they have different view about characters or storylines is a bit harsh and unfair. Favorite line remains, If you do the job right, Walt, by the time you put down your sheriffs badge, youre a wanted man. We just let them rant. 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. He is also the editor/publisher of the BEAT to a PULP webzine and books. Your email address will not be published. With that finale I am really looking forward to the next season. We hear the shotgun blast as we see Longmire looking concerned while scanning the landscape, as if he heard it, too. The owl is used as symbolism in the show. The anti Vic, anti Walt/Vic haters and trolls are just more vocal and use any opportunity to ignite the dialog to rant about their point of view. 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. Id hate to see that here. But, sure, its a possibility. Its a writing tactic that allows the audience understanding of the plot point. if they take longmire off there is only reserection left. 5:57 am. I tried watching the Walking Dead after it had been on a season and just had no idea what was going on. Thanks for the 411 Austinmoose! I think he may have done this in hopes of keeping Walt from getting closure and keeping him off balance. 3:26 am. This is the first time in three seasons that that has happened. Ed, I neglected in my recent comment to thank you for the name of the music at the opening of Ashes. I like it when they use music to complement a scene, not as a substitute for dialogue or action. What a great finale and another great season! Why did Ridges go after Branch? Just curious. Grade: A-. I cant wait for Season 4. I like their interactions so far, both tender (Walts comforting embrace at the hospital) and tough (yeah, that punch was hysterical). Would be a shame if Branch turned up dead. So as you said we all have a right to our opinion and that is mine. they deserve to stay on for several more seasons. Btw thank you for all your comments this past season. SunnyinFL When someone takes a couple of shots at Nighthorse's house, Vic fears Walt may have been the shooter. Communi-Fan I really hope it comes back for many seasons to come and I want 26 episodes per season! Barlow did seem a bit shaky there at the end. It has been reported that A&E is contracturally obligated to make a renewal decision by August 31st. The Real Housewives of Atlanta The Bachelor Sister Wives 90 Day Fiance Wife Swap The Amazing Race Australia Married at First Sight The Real Housewives of Dallas My 600-lb Life Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. I tought The Red Pony was sburned down in s3.09? My open question is why did both Henry and Walt go after Miller Beck before Ridges killed him? August 5, 2014 @ To all Im really enjoying all your thoughts. Which happens frequently in the real world. That 60/40 against Walt/Vic is a guess. Ridges was paid $50,000 through Big Pine Timbers (which was associated with Nighthorse's casino). You saw Walt's reaction to hearing the gunfire, which proved that he is nearby and therefore capable of coming to the rescue. As to Branch and his dad. This is where Barlow Connally entered the picture. Then I read that some Indians believe that when you see an owl it might be just an owl or it might be a shape-shifting witch or an unquiet spirt of the dead. Unquiet spirit of the dead resonated with me. I have watched Longmire from the beginning of S1 and then I read the books.
