I like Longmire, but it would much be better with more daring writing and less predictable plots. Thanks for a place to express my pent up thoughts, lol. Fair or not. Looking forward to season 4! I watched unlocked Season 3 episodes as part of A&E channel on my Roku. I loved how it tends to be fairly low key, relative to many other cop shows, and yet can still offer When the dad clicked the clay launcher Branch looked away. Not only did Barlow funnel money through Nighthorse to support Branchs campaign for Sheriff, he also made a significant payment made to Nighthorses business the week that Martha was killeda payment intended for a soldier, with no questions asked. So I hope they keep it that way, a slow burn of some excellent character chemistry. Getting sick of their lack of information and promotion for Longmire. I just hope for a season 4 because I like the show even with whatever flaws it has. Plot [] Summary []. 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. They also are weak in their other programming and it seems generally incompatible with the Longmire viewer type so they are unlikely to stumble upon it. What would be the best network for Longmire to find a new home, assuming A&E pulls the plug? I think the writers might go in a different direction than killing one of them off. I didnt know the renewal of Longmire was an issue with A&E. I just loved it all and cried along with Walts throaty words. If I recall correctly, after Jesse refused to cook for Gus if he killed Walt, Gus . 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. 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. Not sure if that is due to some film doctoring that is beyond my understanding. Sorry, this is terribly long but like everybody else Ashes to Ashes left me with so many thoughts and questions. Christine While we were skeptical in the early going about Branchs quick turnaround, this, coupled with Henrys release and a number of other developments tonight, make us wish season 4 was here already. August 6, 2014 @ 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. Branchs true calling strikes me as a politician not a lawman. 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. [b]samanthajane[/b], That was a nice touch with Vic taking care of Walts ear in the bar. Perhaps, blackmail from Ridges. Keep up the good work!! It had been lost for most of the season because of the heavy ramifications of a looming prison sentence. Another controversy involving Branch was the killing of Walt's wife. Also was intrigued about Henry taking the jar. 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. I know when Longmire was recommended to me (I started in the middle of S2), I had little idea as to the numerous sub-plots that seemed to actually dominate the heart beat of the story. 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 ! 2:13 pm, Jhera35 I doubt Barlow paid to have anyone killed to help Branch. Having sufficiently stoked Walt's rage, Barlow then draws a gun so Walt shoots him, twice. 5:19 am. 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. MinnesotaJacob, The shows is following the lead already established by Craig Johnsons top novels. I was stunned by the anti-Vic wing. 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. Thus far, weve been treated to a relatively small cast, just a few major players, and only a few important families. 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. Bluemixerclif She caught Vic staying with Walt last season. Douglas Henning Why did Barlow have Walt's wife killed? 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. August 5, 2014 @ Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. August 5, 2014 @ Aha! Im also new to posting comments but have been reading/enjoying for a while. Hope for another season where we can find out. Cady clearly saw more than the wound. August 5, 2014 @ You never saw Branch actually die. He's often hard on his nephew, even though . DrewOFB, A very quick check says the song was Lawdy by The Vespers. I really dont care how Vic dresses; love Ruby and Lucian; and the Ferg is a hoot. I dont think Jacob is squeaky clean either. August 14, 2014 @ I hope that next year will continue the humor in the interactions with the main characters. I hate these reality shows . 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. Cady clearly saw more than the wound. That 60/40 against Walt/Vic is a guess. The part when Walt was spreading his wifes ashes was so sad. In 2015, Branch's body was found down by the river by Walt Longmire, Vic Moretti, and The Ferg. 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. Now, Im finding that my current favorite show might be cancelled? A&E is not winning me over as a supporter. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 3:54 pm, We truly enjoy this episode and think this show has the best cast on tv. But then I have never seen Martha as some sweet little wife who just waved Walt off in the morning with a take care of yourself dear and went back in the house to bake a pie and do some knitting while she waited for him to come home in the evening with his supper ready for him. BTW, as to Branch firing a warning shot Remember the Owl showed up the messenger of death. Branch,Barlow.. I recall, Jacob thinking aloud that Branch had become more like Walt than he (Branch) realized. Isnt that where people left notes for Hector with requests for his services? I liked that Branch has discovered his father hired out the murder of Walts wife before Walt learned it. thus setting Branch free to be his own man, thus creating another When she finds out about how she was injured by his scheme with Nighthorse and his Branchs other behavior, I expect she will be done with him. I agree with many of you, if there is a S4, it should be better (and easier to join) with individual weekly episodes without so much undercurrent. Never liked his fathers character. Quality programming takes yet another hit in favor of more trash TV. Longmires now officially on Netflix, and its begun filming Season 4. Why not kill Longmire himself? Ive been singing the praises of Katee Sackhoff and Bailey Chase but, arguably, Taylor had the most powerful, emotional walloping of a scene in all of season three. Especially after the punch in the kisser. ET on A&E), the case of Walt's dead wife came back into the show in a big way.Charles S. Dutton portrayed a FBI agent who'd been trying to reach Walt for awhile. I think the whole Martha being killed story arc wasnt needed. lou diamond is a good actor. All the new summer offerings from all the networks have been a big disappointment. Gutted by what could have been, she loaded a single bullet into her gun and went into the woods. 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. Is is possible no one shot anyone or is it possible that someone else shot either Barlow or Branch? But, yes, that family seems to have a serious case of the crazies. HOOTIEWHO, LONGMIREA CONNALLY CONUNDRUMBRANCH OR BARLOWOR BOTH? became too much for NEW viewers to overcome. Im not sure how the Longmire writers see the symbolism and I hesitate to try to look for anything more complicated in it than that simple message of a death. I remember reading once that many settlers of Wyoming were driven mad by some combination of the incessant wind of the high plains and the loneliness. 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. 3:23 am. Branch could have given a warning shot to tell Barlow to stay put. J and B The writers created a storyline for Vic that made her very unlikable and unsympathetic for some viewers. Emerald August 5, 2014 @ Retired Sheriff Lucian Connally was a recurring character on the Longmire Television series. He expressed the dignified despair of Henry Standing Bear so beautifully. The whole Sean and Gorski story arcs were not needed. Dont keep us Longmire fans in suspense like A&E did last year. About halfway through the episode, we started to feel like he was the guilty party. There's a recorded conversation between himself and David Ridges that clears him of violating their agreement and of setting up Longmire for an ambush. They re-run the previous episode Sunday mornings/early afternoons? 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. I always enjoy learning a little more about Craig Johnson and this remarkable world he has created. Cant wait for season 4!!! 2:11 am. The kind of thing that just leaves you breathless. leave the good ones alone. I mean it was a continuing success for A&E even with a dip in the third season. Were we really going to get the answers that we wanted? Maybe the writers will take you up on that! I hope they do surprise me! years(!) And thank you. The owner of the company, Barlow Connally, paid Ridges to kill Martha Longmire. The Closer and Major Crimes yes. 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. I feel like Henry would have just driven to the cabin. Although there was not any close interaction between Vic and Walt appropriately so it was really sweet to see Vic take care of Walts bloody ear in the bar What a total dirtbag Barlow turned out to be, not that we didnt think he was pretty slimy, but to turn against Branch like that pretty powerful! SEE ALSO: Of course, we're covering Season 4 of Longmire,starting with the premiere Down By the River! If either he or Walt had killed Beck, the body would never have been found. As you say a lot of comments are constructive criticism. We hear the shotgun blast as we see Longmire looking concerned while scanning the landscape, as if he heard it, too. Ill take it one step further. 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. 4:50 pm. Just curious. 10:30 pm. I was confused about that point myself but thats a logical conclusion. There did not seem time for this without Branch taking some kind of action. Longmires been sheriff a long time, must have gotten in Barlow Connallys way many times over the years. Wish I knew more exact details. Henry had acquired the teeth, but not from Miller directly. A&E wanted a larger profit share. Barbara Proctor It is this unpredictability that contributes to the success of Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. TNT knows how to promote their shows. Was it just a device to let us hear Marthas voice as Walt was going to spread her ashes or was there more significance? mr.tufts Best television in a long time. I really dont want to see Walt & Vic in a relationship. Mr. Taylor did an excellent job in portraying grief and relief in that powerful moment. Outside the office, Longmire bars Branch from going in. 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. 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? Thanks; hope its a short hiatus. I was honestly surprised to read this There is even an owl handler on the first set. 11:22 am. Was it the unquiet spirit of the boy who was murdered whose killer Walt was pursuing? Im sad to read sometimes that there are Longmire viewers who really dislike Vic, I LOVE her character, flaws and all. Great story, even with all the holes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the best of the Longmire storyline. As to the Walt and Vic relationship the writers have handled this with kid gloves. Other than glances and appropriate caring touches, there has been little hint of anything else. What was in the jar was Walts dead wife ashes! August 5, 2014 @ Of course even if the owl is not a symbol someone died, it would not mean one of the two Connallys is not dead but I do now believe that Marthas spirit is not at rest and is trying to communicate with Walt at the end of the season 3 finale. Longmire season 3 finale review: Do we know who killed Walts wife? I like syfy but this is better than the walking dead. The first time we see the owl is in the pilot. Though the way Barlow said I dont have time to make another fortune, Id have my doubts he killed himself. I noticed that they were not so obliging this year. Whatever happen to the lady that had the hots for Walt? Instead we get the same cliffhanger of Branch in danger as last season. If the arc is well done, like Ridges, I dont mind. Your email address will not be published. He came away with something on his thumb. My favorite part of the finale was the banter between, Vic, Walt and Bearmuch like the recurring theme in the books. sidewalk tractor for sale; who are the parents of chaunte wayans; nyc intramural sports leagues; phoropter advantages and disadvantages; san giorgio calacatta polished porcelain tile; Actualits. 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. Are there trolls that exist online? 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. I, for one, do NOT care for the Vic character. It sounds kind of Longmirish. TNT has had King and Maxwell fail after Major Crimes and I think Murder in the First is a failure. That seems to be who the character is to me and I feel like he is lost without it. Dog stated: If the show gets another season and the writers are going to put them together, they need to ease them into a relationship without any more over the top obstacles. I have removed A&E from my channel lineup. Was it a symbol that he was at risk of dying? Jhera35 I do have to note, though, that Branchs father did not say that he paid to have Walts wife killed. Well, Im afraid weve discovered the other side of that coin, as this weeks 10-year jump felt a bit too jarring. OK, Walt & Vic can get together as long as it is done well. [b]Dog[/b], Interesting theory. He started asking about Ridges, once he put two-n-two together. LOVE THIS SHOW!! Would be a shame if Branch turned up dead. As you say, this is just one of the many nuances that make this a different show. Its shame Longmire has no help from a lead in show. I do not have A&E as part of my limited satellite package (cutting costs) so I watched the first two seasons of Longmire by borrowing the DVDs from my public library. Additionally, why not take out Walt? 4 min read. 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. What could they possibly have in common? In 2015, Branch's body was found down by the river by Walt Longmire, Vic Moretti, and The Ferg. DrewOFB, you are welcome. Robert W. Hamlett 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. August 7, 2014 @ I think he may have done this in hopes of keeping Walt from getting closure and keeping him off balance. I was not being harsh IMO, I will explain in a minute, and those I referred to as haters/trolls are NOT on this site. This show always surprises me so I am certain that a Season 4 would continue that trend. The season finale was a great episode with my favorite line of the series: Walt punched me. Announce a Season 4 and give us at least 12 episodes! So Ifeel theres a very good chance. Of course he has some serious apologizing to Vic. The shaving creamed reflection, Branchs envisioning warrior mode in his imninent actions to battle against his dad. Shareen Really enjoyed the humorous banter between Walt/Henry and Vic/Henry. Since we were new to the series, we watched from the beginning and got hooked ! 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. Maybe Branch shot at the clay and missed. They dont even respond on their various Facebook pages. It would be the same with a lot of other shows, coming in after several seasons. But, damn, wasnt that a top season closer?! Too many tv shows are lazy and predictable keeping on main characters that should be gone to shake up the show. And I appreciate everyone that joined in the conversation over the past ten weeks. 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. I dont think Hector would have kept old notes around. What makes this show so great is the characters and their interactions especially with each other in solving crimes. 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.
