HOOTIEWHO, LONGMIREA CONNALLY CONUNDRUMBRANCH OR BARLOWOR BOTH? 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 Branch confronts Barlow and Barlow kills him, but makes it look like a suicide. 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. The continuation for three 5:59 am. 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. Was it a symbol that he was at risk of dying? He does have legal problems with his role though doesnt he? Great writing! She seemed to fall out of the picture with no exit plan. 5:19 am. 3:23 am. 10 episodes is pretty good for a season. At least cable shows have so few episodes per season its not hard to catch up. Dog, I agree with your Walt/Vic comments, they have been encumbered by the story arcs. But praying to the Corporate Gods cant hurt! Season 3s Wanted Man featuring Peter Weller was one of the strongest episodes. Miller was the man suspected of killing Walt's wife, who had also been killed. Was anyone curious who took off in Walts truck just prior to David Bridges attack in last weeks episode? Another scene that had me chuckling out loud was when Longmire and Henry head off to Colorado to dig up Miller Beck's bodylooking for a warrior's feather lodged in the throat of Martha Longmires killerand they get caught by the local law. His little fit last week was overdue, IMO. 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. Shortly after, I laughed out loud when Vic and Longmire walk into the Red Pony and Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) asks what happened. I loved that so many characters had to down a shot of whiskey in this episode because I needed one when it was over too. Bluemixerclif PLEASE let it continue on..Jane Davis, Lila Cox 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. [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. Why did Ridges go after Branch? If Barlow is dead, he is going to need Walt more than ever. As for the ending didnt Barlow have his shotgun open over his shoulder? I really dont care how Vic dresses; love Ruby and Lucian; and the Ferg is a hoot. Barlow had Walt's wife killed because she was leading the charge against a proposed Casino in the county. 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. Jum un Houston 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. Also was intrigued about Henry taking the jar. August 6, 2014 @ [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)] [/color]. . The Most Evil Things Walter White Ever Did. I like syfy but this is better than the walking dead. Of course we wont get a 4th season. Why did Walt have to kill Gus? Like something out of the J.K. Rowling school of character naming. I liked that Branch has discovered his father hired out the murder of Walts wife before Walt learned it. Since we were new to the series, we watched from the beginning and got hooked ! 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. Instead we get the same cliffhanger of Branch in danger as last season. He is the predecessor to Walt Longmire. Lou Diamond Phillips is the epitome of elegance and eloquence. 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? Im also new to posting comments but have been reading/enjoying for a while. 4:50 pm. His line that son of a bitch Walt Longmire sounded like he has a deep hatred for him. 7:20 pm. That character added tons this season but Im with you on Henry, Vic, and Walt interacting more. 4:13 am. But the second I can think of now is in the episode Unquiet Mind as one of Walts visions on the mountain. We both felt the same regarding the Gorski storyline and although I am not a Walt/Vic shipper, our discussions have been respectful and I appreciate that. Another controversy involving Branch was the killing of Walt's wife. In 2015, Branch's body was found down by the river by Walt Longmire, Vic Moretti, and The Ferg. Most of their encounters were too serious this season. 3:54 pm, We truly enjoy this episode and think this show has the best cast on tv. Thoroughly enjoyed it. That 60/40 against Walt/Vic is a guess. 3:37 am. [b]Edward[/b], I meant Branch no longer in the Sheriffs office, but remaining on the show as Walts nemesis as mayor or running his fathers company. J and B Everything is superb! 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. Didnt watch it until this season. Heres my off the wall suggestion: this show needs a Clydesdale advertisement to demonstrate strength and determination right along side beauty and gentleness. He really has the upper edge even though he was distracted. She seemed too girlie for him, half fainting violet, half stalker trying to force her way into his life. Especially if it goes long. Look at Bones. Thanks for a place to express my pent up thoughts, lol. Kalalau Of course, but not all different opinions are negative, some criticisms are constructive. And Branch turning his own father over to Walt will probably clear his way to return to his job. Did you get that figure from the Longmire Posse group? She was on 24 a few seasons ago. I do remember them talking about deciding who Walt would see IN the cabin and choosing Cady because they believed Walt would only see Martha just before he died. [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. 4:29 am. Longmire turns to strike the swine with a closed firstbut instead belts Vic squarely in the face! Jhera35 To characterize some viewers as haters or trolls because they have different view about characters or storylines is a bit harsh and unfair. Her reason for that was incredibly heartbreaking. The finale had fewer viewers than the season premiere. Why not kill Longmire himself? Great season finale! Grade: A-. Hopefully, it wont take too long! These three characters need to interact a lot more. I dont think we know who killed his wife. And thank you for the compliment. The season finale was a great episode with my favorite line of the series: Walt punched me. Cant imagine any Deputy questioning a boss like she does. 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. That might be some major competition for Longmire if Longmire stays on A&E at 10pm Monday. 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. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Would be a shame if Branch turned up dead. redapple2 5:52 am. Hopefull, if there is a S4, they can move forward much more freely. And her worst suspicions appear to be confirmed when she finds an empty beer can Rainier . Id call this an A+ episode even though all the loose ends surrounding Marthas and Miller Becks deaths werent tied up well enough. I hate these reality shows . August 5, 2014 @ Like CarolK I wonder if a third party arrived on the scene (not Walt of course). They have nothing worth watching. 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. Excellent comments ! cleaned Walts wounds at the Red Pony. Sean was out of town on business and Ed Goreski had just threatened Vic. August 5, 2014 @ 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. 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. Why does Barlow kill branch? Bringem Back!! wonderful season ender season 4 newel should really be a no brainer. 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. August 5, 2014 @ One episode ago, we didnt think this guy was actually going to be doing anything productive. I blame AE for that a lot. He is also the editor/publisher of the BEAT to a PULP webzine and books. It would seem for outward appearances they are after the quick buck and not entertainment thus the cheaply made farsical reality fiascos. better be.) Whatever happen to the lady that had the hots for Walt? When Barlow was talking about how the Connallys settled Absaroka County I wondered how nuts Branchs grandfather/great-grandfather might have been. So, onto Zachary (Barry Sloane). Longmire gets better ratings than both. Available on Kindle. Kodi2k6 I do think Barlow was the one to go down, but maybe not by Branch. 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. 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. 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. The sexual tension between Booth & Bones was great, having them marry was not. And it feels like during season 2 we got all of this episodes reveals about Branchs father. [b]PerilPress[/b], Ive always liked Gerald McRaney going way back to Simon & Simon and Im kinda hoping hes not mortally wounded and sticks around a little more to add spice to these exceptional storylines. Longmire made a HUGE move for a show with an uncertain future, exposing Barlow as the man responsible, but also not having Walt arrest him. I am enjoying reading the comments here. Just in case that wasnt emotional enough, we then hen had the moment where Walt was crying in a field, feeling regret and shame over what he was about to do. Henry seeing the jar full understood there was still a real need for the service Hector provided. Perhaps, Bear has something there he doesnt want to risk anyone seeing. [b]Mates[/b], One of the best moments in television in a long time. Lets hope another network is smart enough to pick Longmire up. I dont know details but I know the arrangement between Warner and A&E and A&E wanting more of the profits was the stumbling block last year. Most of the posters here are way ahead of me in the nuances of this tv series. It is only natural, that these two with similar personalities and needs would eventually be drawn together. Havent seen her lately . Never apologize for the length around here. Please be back with season 4 soon. 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. LadyDi We welcome analyzing in-depth. I have lost a lot of shows I like because of low ratings. I like a balance. Great episode, great season! Top of his game. We missed the last few minutes. 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! A&E is not winning me over as a supporter. Favorite line remains, If you do the job right, Walt, by the time you put down your sheriffs badge, youre a wanted man. Walt then kills Barlow, avenging Branch and Martha. Really enjoy all your comments! The biggest mistake the producers made was dealing this to A&E. Douglas Henning I think the writers might go in a different direction than killing one of them off. Looking forward to season 4! Not too many folks are that willing to catch up with a new show.
