The owl seemed to guide Walt to a cabin and that was essential to him surviving and going on. I didnt know Longmire existed until a few episodes in last season. Finale did not disappoint. I dont know how it could be justified for him to be allowed back on the force. They dont even respond on their various Facebook pages. Jhera35 3:54 pm, We truly enjoy this episode and think this show has the best cast on tv. Lingerie needs to come back. Well, friends, I have heard they cancelled Longmire. Why did Ridges go after Branch? So this summer, the next season will appear there! Were we really going to get the answers that we wanted? I found it odd that both season 2 and 3 ended with Branch getting shot. Longmire gets better ratings than both. He came away with something on his thumb. August 14, 2014 @ What is it with these people? Ive enjoyed reading everyones comments and you all have given me a lot to think about going forward to season 4. Watched the first two seasons on Netflix one episode after the other one weekend. When Branch asks what he has to do to earn his way back in, Longmire replies he doesnt know. Even Amazon who had season 1 VOD with a season pass when I asked about season 2 had no clue when/if season 2 would be available via their VOD. Dmr412, I have no problem with people voicing their opinion pro or con. kickyourace This is such a great show. Since we know he is an only son, it would be his sister. Katee tweeted something about S4 already but my guess is they told her to reserve her before officially announcing A&E wouldnt end another show with a main character in mortal danger would they..ie Glades Matt seems to have landed OK though on USA Network. Hopefull, if there is a S4, they can move forward much more freely. [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. Maybe? 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. . The official moment he was free and the plan worked was beyond emotional. I thoroughly enjoyed the finale even though the conspiracy about Marthas murder had holes large enough to drive a truck through. 3:36 am. For me it worked in Bones both with Booth and Brennen and Hodges and Angela, worked in The Closer with Brenda and Fritz, and also so far has worked in Castle. Btw thank you for all your comments this past season. OnTheElk The person he hired killed the person that killed her. Is this correct? Several British stars have turned down the offer to help ring in King Charles III's coronation. I was confused about that point myself but thats a logical conclusion. Also, I cant remember details of the explanation of how exactly Martha died but maybe the payment was to kill Walt and Martha got in the way? Ha! fantastic drama, pulse-pounding action and emotional catharsis. 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. 2:11 pm. Shortly after, I laughed out loud when Vic and Longmire walk into the Red Pony and Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) asks what happened. There seems to me to be too much left undone if Barlow is eliminated, the money trail needs both Jacob and Dad Connally before the court of law to sort Casino land interests (What Martha knew), gun for hires, shell corporations, and find the Malachi (furlow) dirty connectionpowerful positions must have been utilized. For basic cable, I would suggest TNT. Much more about power and money than the benefit to Branch. I just love this series. I feel like there is too much unresolved with Malachi and Nighthorse and more for us to discover there but I dont think Nighthorse intended for Walts wife to be murdered. Longmire turns to strike the swine with a closed firstbut instead belts Vic squarely in the face! I wish I knew more about the contractual relationship between Warner/Horizon and A&E. So Ifeel theres a very good chance. The official moment he was free and the plan worked was beyond emotional. It seems too easy and common. It took A&E until end of November to release their official renewal announcement. Nicely said, Virginia! Sean was out of town on business and Ed Goreski had just threatened Vic. August 5, 2014 @ AMC. Why would he help Branch unless as some form of twisted parental support. Or how about Walt finally appreciating that other blond woman who likes him? Not at this point. Even in Unquiet Mind I slapped my forehead and said of course the owl that leads Walt to the cabin that was essential for him to survive falling in a a river in winter on the mountain was Martha. Branch had suspicious evidence that he might have shared with Longmire before confronting his father. Its not like Vic, Walt, and Henry let alone Cady are known for taking shots and it seemed like more than good product placement to me. Communi-Fan Cady clearly saw more than the wound. But that is about to change, and change drastically. look at two n half men . Awesome job on the finale. A rifle was fired but that does not mean someone was killed but that scene was quite powerful regardless. 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. In the back of the sheriffs vehicle, David Ridges (David Midthunder) lies dead. Keep it going!!!!!! Hey that must be why they killed off the REALLY insubordinate male deputy. She placed the weapon to her head, crying, trembling, preparing to alleviate her tortured mind. Great story, even with all the holes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the best of the Longmire storyline. I agree with [b]Dog[/b] that Sean should have been gone in season one and that the Gorski story was a mistake. All the families are separated in different, Nothing brings people together like a funeral, so special shout-out to Laena Velaryon for giving us the spectacle that was Driftmark. With every major player in attendance, we were treated to an episode filled with everything from subtle power dynamics to full-blown attempted murder. What I have missed this year is the interaction with the Rez, especially Mathias. Updated February 28, 2023 at 11:51 AM ET. Anyone else, would have been perfect. Their feelings regarding certain characters may be justified. . If either he or Walt had killed Beck, the body would never have been found. But once Walt realizes Barlows involvement I can see him forgiving Branch. And I cant say enough praise for McRaneys acting. Boom! It was one of the few times I can remember watching television and recoiling in shock at both Longmires mistake and Vics bloody pain. 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. Nothing really happened between Vic and Walt. Ive had enough of Branch the crazy rogue this season. 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. I wanted to make that clear. Ratings are a fact of life. Longmire averaged 3.5 million this season (almost 3.7 for the finale); a bit off from S3 (3.7). Really enjoy all your comments! He just told Brach it was to help him to still try and win him over. I read somewhere last year that they had come under new management. In Branchs tired, vacant stare at his would-be assassin, theres a mixture of disbelief that his ordeal is finally over, perhaps, wondering if, even now, the corpse wont come back alive for one more encounter. Walt says, The usual, and Vic says, Walt punched me. Just another day at the office. He feels responsible for Hectors death, prelude to Henry storyline for season 4. emsA2 I wanted a like button fro your comments. That seems like a stretch.Thats the question I want answered He says everything he does is for his family, but how does killing her help his family? It was a right between the eyes message to the viewers: look at this, if you didnt get it before this is a man of huge passions who keeps them tightly reigned. I am glad that Henry is free and the truth is about about Barlow. It had to be done before anything romantic could happen with Vic. August 5, 2014 @ I need to go back and look at it to see if they talked about the owl but maybe not because it is not a vision. If Ridges had killed Branch at the end of last season, this season would have been even more dark and intense as they investigated his murder. Was wondering what was in the jar that Henry picked up off of that Wall?! 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. A&E is not winning me over as a supporter. 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 ! 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. However, I think TNT is planning another Major Crimes spinoff with Jon Tenney (Fritz) as head of LAPD Special Ops after retiring from the FBI and I bet they slot that after Major Crimes. I watched unlocked Season 3 episodes as part of A&E channel on my Roku. August 5, 2014 @ . She seemed too girlie for him, half fainting violet, half stalker trying to force her way into his life. I thought maybe Bridges stole it just long enough to get to his horse. August 5, 2014 @ Id hate to see that here. Great end to the season! It would be the same with a lot of other shows, coming in after several seasons. Favorite line remains, If you do the job right, Walt, by the time you put down your sheriffs badge, youre a wanted man. James Silva The writers are doing a slow build-up and Im comfortable with that direction. I enjoy watching Law and Order and Criminal Minds but the characters are more one-dimensional than Longmire while the crime-of-the-week dominates. Thanks for a place to express my pent up thoughts, lol. I thought it was Hectors ashes, but could be the job jar. He pulled a gun on Walt who was forced to shoot him down. 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. Zahn McClarnon does a very good job with that character. I think Henry will start doing what Hector would do because of the guilt he feels about Hectors death, Kate11208 Quality programming takes yet another hit in favor of more trash TV. Is Barlow that big a sleazeball? Do they have to pay Warner Horizon Televison everytime they show an episode and it costs double during prime-time or something? They have such great chemistry! [b]bitsyo8[/b], Regardless of a season four Im almost positive that Longmire and these actors will be returning in one form or another. MinnesotaJacob, The shows is following the lead already established by Craig Johnsons top novels. Quailty program has become an endangered species. 1:06 pm. Who called Walts home phone? Why did Henry take Hectors drop jar?. . Wish I knew more exact details. I am sure if the show is renewed that the writers will be going full steam ahead with Walt and Vics romance. Kalalau [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)] [/color][b]Dog[/b]/[b]emsA2[/b], I just read the interview where Craig Johnson says, I do have to note, though, that Branchs father did not say that he paid to have Walts wife killed. Very much appreciated. Of course, but not all different opinions are negative, some criticisms are constructive. Maybe the writers will take you up on that! I expect that the writers will stick him back in the Sheriffs Office though. I, for one, do NOT care for the Vic character. I did notice Cady eyeing them, when Vic naturally and caringly cleaned Walts wounds at the Red Pony. Heres hoping Longmire returns for Season 4, because there are so many questions that still need to be answered. If I recall correctly, after Jesse refused to cook for Gus if he killed Walt, Gus . Cady seemed wimpy to me this year, but in her defense, shes had a hard year. Of course we wont get a 4th season. Fortunately we were able to find it at a later time so we could see what we missed A&E also needs to start at the scheduled time rather tha 5 minutes late. Emerald There are so many better story arcs for Henrys character. Too bad more fans of TV crime dramas havent found it yet. Great episode tonight!!! The Most Evil Things Walter White Ever Did. Longmire is the best show on TV PERIOD! About halfway through the episode, we started to feel like he was the guilty party. Thats a little flip about mental illness so no offense to anyone. 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. I love this show. At least cable shows have so few episodes per season its not hard to catch up. It is unfortunate that the writers are unlikely to consider having Branch kicked off completely. Though I still do not like the idea of Walt & Vic in a relationship they do make a good pair. I think he may have done this in hopes of keeping Walt from getting closure and keeping him off balance. leave the good ones alone. I doubt well get more. I agree with most, that the Branch character works best as a deputy. Later he confronts his father about his $50,000 tip to Jacob Nighthorse about killing Walt's wife, but soon later his father distracts Branch by pulling the disc while shooting shotguns and later shoots Branch in the facewhile Branch is distracted, and is later avenged by Walt, and is mentioned in every season after. I was honestly surprised to read this There is even an owl handler on the first set. Arcs settled. Could have been nothing, might have been something, thats what I like about this show. So I hope they keep it that way, a slow burn of some excellent character chemistry. August 5, 2014 @ August 6, 2014 @ I noticed that they were not so obliging this year. IMO she has developed a drinking problem after finding out her mother was murdered. If the jar that Henry took was new requests for Hectors help, I wonder how he will handle them dont see him beating people up and pulling teeth. Looking forward to Season 4! Luckily, Walts daughter proved herself to be more than capable. I also agree that there seems to be more to Barlows malice toward Walt. Longmires been sheriff a long time, must have gotten in Barlow Connallys way many times over the years. I agree with those that have commented about how it might be hard to join Longmire as a viewer Season 3 and beyond because you dont know what is going on with the characters stories. Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. I didnt know the renewal of Longmire was an issue with A&E. Lou Diamond Phillips is the epitome of elegance and eloquence. [b]snowdogmom[/b], 100% support more Lucian Connally and having him partner up with Walt again. Et on A&E), the case of Walt's dead wife came back into the show in a big way. [b]Penny[/b], Gotta say Id hate to see Branch gone. His son, Branch (The Connallys have some crazy names) , the sheriff's deputy, figured out that Barlow had Walt's wife killed. 3:34 am. Vic too for that matter if the punch in the face was the best thing that happened to her all week. Teens Break-in to House to Bake Marijuana Brownies. I have removed A&E from my channel lineup. 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. In my mind, yes, but I read somewhere that TPTB (The Powers That Be, term I use when I dont really know who has the power to make decisions for a television show) are trying to read the tea leaves and think that it is 60-40 AGAINST the VicWaltship among Longmire viewers. He killed her years ago in the hopes that it would lead to Branch being elected sheriff? He has to do to earn his way back in, Longmire replies he doesnt know a truck..
