document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Thanks so much for joining us! When Branch asks what he has to do to earn his way back in, Longmire replies he doesnt know. Did a&e ever consider showing it at 9 instead of 10 I bet a lot of folks who have to go to bed and do not have dvr would be watching who are not now, Jhera35 Updated February 28, 2023 at 11:51 AM ET. 2:03 pm, It is interesting how shows that advocate slutty, trashy, immoral actions by teenagers are renewed for 2-3-4 seasons with 12+ episodes, and something that is well written and exciting to watch teeters on the brink of cancellation. need better shows on and get rid of reality shows they stink. Anyone else, would have been perfect. Finale did not disappoint. I think he may have done this in hopes of keeping Walt from getting closure and keeping him off balance. Not too many folks are that willing to catch up with a new show. Now, he's suddenly very much in the news because the new hit film, "Jesus Revolution," covers aspects of his life story from the late '60s and early '70s. Why does Barlow kill branch? 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. That might be some major competition for Longmire if Longmire stays on A&E at 10pm Monday. Though the whole Barlow reveal is still soaking in with me. Great show. I have enjoyed reading the posts on this site this year, and thank you for providing an outlet for comments and opinions. Ive enjoyed the music throughout this season and find myself adding them to my playlist. Plus TNT would actually promote Longmire. I want to be clear: this doesnt have anything to do with the, We Light the Way, the fifth episode of HBOs House of the Dragon, feels like the end of Part 1. It seems like a far fetched plan, but the man turned out to be ruthless, especially if he killed his own son. Was anyone curious who took off in Walts truck just prior to David Bridges attack in last weeks episode? 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. Branch is a very interesting character. Then Walt leaves Vic stranded at the Red Pony as he rushes to Denver. Probably no chance though. Cady seemed wimpy to me this year, but in her defense, shes had a hard year. Was Longmire on his way to confront Connelly? Is David ridges alive Longmire? He releases her ashes onto the ground where he promised 'til death do us part years ago. I loved the humor. 5:57 am. Yes, fingers crossed for a season 4. But if he did, he died redeemed. I have this theory that Barlow and Walts relationship is much more complicated than its been said and that Marthas murder had more reasons behind it than just throwing Walt off his game to get Branch to the Sheriffs office. The only real exception is if this ending is set up thanks to a contract dispute .

I like snowdogmoms answer to why Henry took Hectors jar. The season wrapped up the David Ridges storyline, as well as Vics stalker situation and Henry Standing Bears plight. 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. In this storyline and others, they went against book canon. The first time we see the owl is in the pilot. I dont think Hector would have kept old notes around. they deserve to stay on for several more seasons. Cady clearly saw more than the wound. By visiting this site, you consent to have cookie data stored. @Kay Vics character was most definitely not on 24. What did you think about the Longmire finale, and were the reveals everything that you expected and then some? 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? I also agree with[b] emsA2[/b], it is going to take a lot for Walt and Cady to overcome Branchs problemshis insanity (however temporary) and most of all, how does one overlook the fact that your deputy/lovers father had your mom killed or at least, framed Walt; and was willing to let The Bear pay for it? I will say that the very reason that you want to keep Branch is exactly why he should be killed off or sent away. Ive always been a little hazy as to why Ridges went after Branch. I like your take on this even if it isnt what happened. son, not created in his fathers image.. Marie just loves her husband and she just found out that he could've died multiple times bcz of Walt. S3 was too much serial story. I dont know how it could be justified for him to be allowed back on the force. I dont want to jinx it but I cant see why another network wouldnt pick the show up. He's often hard on his nephew, even though . She was never that into him in the first place. He managed to reload his shotgun (or pull a concealed pistol), triggered the trap as a distraction, and turned to fire on Branch. I really dont care how Vic dresses; love Ruby and Lucian; and the Ferg is a hoot. It took A&E until end of November to release their official renewal announcement. The sexual tension between Booth & Bones was great, having them marry was not. DrewOFB, you are welcome. And thank you for stopping by and adding your invaluable insight. Maybe? Who knows? http://www.vibrantnation.com/other-topics/craig-johnson-the-man-behind-longmire/. The mugging was to appear like it was for drug money. It gave us everything we hoped for to see him no longer have to be on the run. 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. Branch, knowing his father and being very wary of him, had stepped close enough to Barlow to interfere with the shot and perhaps strike him in the head with the butt of his shotgun. Spot on acting from Robert Taylor and the direction was pitch perfect. In 2015, Branch's body was found down by the river by Walt Longmire, Vic Moretti, and The Ferg. In the pilot was the owl Marthas spirit whose killer needed to be found and punished? 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. August 6, 2014 @ Too many tv shows are lazy and predictable keeping on main characters that should be gone to shake up the show. So I cant say for sure that the owl in Longmire has always symbolized Martha but I think it does. Shortly after, I laughed out loud when Vic and Longmire walk into the Red Pony and Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) asks what happened. Loved the S3 finale, but the best part for us is that we had a family membered contacted by the film scouts to use their older home for a filming location for one of the S4 episodes ! Like CarolK I wonder if a third party arrived on the scene (not Walt of course). She is a far better deputy than Branch or Ferg. Thoroughly enjoyed it. August 5, 2014 @ August 5, 2014 @ wonderful season ender season 4 newel should really be a no brainer. Not a dry eye in the house! They dont need these over the top long drawn out story arcs now that we got Walts wifes murder mostly tied up. Billy Rayburn Id call this an A+ episode even though all the loose ends surrounding Marthas and Miller Becks deaths werent tied up well enough. Snowdogmom, we have had discussions in other forums and I have always found your opinions insightful. I just like this show regardless if people think some of the story arcs are unbelievable or have holes, Walt ignores jurisdiction, stretches the law, etc. But once Walt realizes Barlows involvement I can see him forgiving Branch. Malachi needs to go down for his corruption and treatment of Henry if nothing else. Great story, even with all the holes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the best of the Longmire storyline. Who called Walts home phone? Luckily, Walts daughter proved herself to be more than capable. August 5, 2014 @ Elementary has a good song selection, too. I like syfy but this is better than the walking dead. Too bad more fans of TV crime dramas havent found it yet. It might also gain him an offer to return as a Deputy, though I wonder whether hed take it. 1:36 am. I am pro- what I call The VicWaltship but not in any hurry. Thanks for a place to express my pent up thoughts, lol. are for watching things over a year old, LOL. Lingerie needs to come back. August 5, 2014 @ I couldnt see Lizzie for Walt. I, for one, do NOT care for the Vic character. I assume that came from ridges war paint. Yes, I am reading them in order I do always like to do that. Thanks. They re-run the previous episode Sunday mornings/early afternoons? I feel like the Longmire writers gave us a study in variations of a familial crazy gene this season. The Closer and Major Crimes yes. I recall, Jacob thinking aloud that Branch had become more like Walt than he (Branch) realized. Celebrity. Ive started reading the Longmire books. I agree with all of you. In a season of incredible performances from the whole cast, Robert Taylor delivered powerfully in the scene when Walt finally lets go of Martha. August 5, 2014 @ look at two n half men . I think the whole Martha being killed story arc wasnt needed. I do think Barlow was the one to go down, but maybe not by Branch. Rather than try to hit all the plot points, here are some of the highlights I enjoyed, and I hope you will add your favorite moments in the comments. . When someone takes a couple of shots at Nighthorse's house, Vic fears Walt may have been the shooter. A rifle was fired but that does not mean someone was killed but that scene was quite powerful regardless. I have read all the books and highly recommend them. I think Barlow assumed the death would cripple Walt, who wouldnt run. This is a great cast. Quality programming takes yet another hit in favor of more trash TV. For six seasons, Nighthorse has been Longmire's usual suspect, accused of everything from helping murder Walt's wife to killing deputy Branch Connally (Bailey Chase) to using the casino he. This is where Barlow Connally entered the picture. What exactly was Branchs dads motive in killing Walts wife? At least cable shows have so few episodes per season its not hard to catch up. Another indication of people not liking storyline or direction ( not necessarily regarding Walt/Vic) is the decline in viewership. 3:37 am. Hope we are all in place again next summer! Really enjoy all your comments! Just want more Longmire. 3:19 am, All content copyright 2011-2022 CarterMatt.com, This site uses cookies to track and store data. I am going to catch up on the books before a new season begins (if it does, fingers crossed) and will try to review the first two tv seasons with the comments of all in mind. I think even Henry was surprised. Why did Barlow have Walt's wife killed? Who is the father of Vic's baby on Longmire? Glad you asked this? Why is it still functional in s3.10? Excellent comments ! Hopefully he reacted fast enough, but then again they both had clayshot simiar to the Dick Cheney shooting so its very survivable. She was on 24 a few seasons ago. 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. Its the embodiment of Martha, the symbolism for her. That was written when seven episodes of season 1 had been filmed. SunnyinFL 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. Plot [] Summary []. AMC. 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. The Barlow twist definitely surprised me, but I still have a lot of questions about Nighthorse and how much he knew about Marthas death and the reason Barlow needed to hire Ridges. HOOTIEWHO, LONGMIREA CONNALLY CONUNDRUMBRANCH OR BARLOWOR BOTH? August 5, 2014 @ I loved how it tends to be fairly low key, relative to many other cop shows, and yet can still offer Ive enjoyed Season 3 but in a Season 4 I would like to see a return to more episodes that are less the serial drama aspect of Longmire and more procedure/crime. In case you dont know already the people behind The Closer are the mostly the same people behind Longmire. I was honestly surprised to read this There is even an owl handler on the first set. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the finale. A&E is not winning me over as a supporter. Please A&E, renew quickly with a lot more episodes. Appreciated. Havent seen her lately . The part when Walt was spreading his wifes ashes was so sad. So heres something totally out of left fieldmaybe Ridges recently found out that he was Barlows bastard son/his mother had been abused and abandoned by Barlow and his hatred of Barlow and Branch led him to want them to suffer. He just told Brach it was to help him to still try and win him over. leave the good ones alone. August 5, 2014 @ 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. Also, thank you for stopping by. Excellent!!! It deserves more promotion a better time slot and it will get many more fans. It was only five minutes before the end of the episode when this happened, and we were still confused but only briefly. Also, being vocal about your feelings on a subject is the only way to convey them. We just let them rant. However, the writers need to be a bit more consistent as some of the story lines this year were a bit lamer than in the pasti.e., the murder in the pines. I myself didnt like the Gorski storyline. I just pray that we get another season, and that the showrunners go back to having the team solving murders. Barlow then revealed a knife and stabbed himself twice, further framing Walt for his murder right in front of him. 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. Branch then delivers his father up to Longmire (his alternate father figure). What Walt does not realize is that Barlow Connally, who deeply resents Walt, made a $50,000 payment to Big Pine Timbers to pay for a hitman to kill Walt's wife, Martha. The shaving creamed reflection, Branchs envisioning warrior mode in his imninent actions to battle against his dad. Do that , then watch the ratings go UP UP and way UP! He really has the upper edge even though he was distracted. I enjoy the show & look forward to a new season. Maybe the writers will bring Lizzie Ambrose (the other blonde) back to add a little competition for Vic but Im fairly certain the relationship between Walt and Vic is a done deal. As you say, this is just one of the many nuances that make this a different show. Are there trolls that exist online? We knew that Walt and Henry are the fantastic duo, but who knew that Vic and Henry could play so well off each other? The kind of thing that just leaves you breathless. 2:11 am. The short-term deputy who was brought in, seemingly, for wise, sentimental reasons, but then fired because Walt was afraid to treat him with wisdom or sentiment.. Dog, I agree with your Walt/Vic comments, they have been encumbered by the story arcs. Well, friends, I have heard they cancelled Longmire. Kalalau Btw thank you for all your comments this past season. I knew enough to tell me I wasnt interested in a show about Zombies. Sean was out of town on business and Ed Goreski had just threatened Vic. She placed the weapon to her head, crying, trembling, preparing to alleviate her tortured mind. Who knows what A&E will do? became too much for NEW viewers to overcome. . He is the predecessor to Walt Longmire. Most of the posters here are way ahead of me in the nuances of this tv series. The season finale was a great episode with my favorite line of the series: Walt punched me. I do. While trap shooting, Branch and Barlow discuss Nighthorse. If Barlow is dead, he is going to need Walt more than ever. I am sure that Branch shot his father because this is not the kind of show where the main characters die so I dont find the ending suspenseful. Longmire, Vic (Katee Sackhoff), and Ferg (Adam Bartley) search for Branch and eventually find his body in a river, an apparent suicide, based on the angle of the shotgun.. Who does Cady Longmire marry? 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.
