A really good show and we would hate to see this series end. Unfortunately, now he may be dead. As to Branch and his dad. Walt Longmire (Robert . Worse of all, Branch got into a corrupt scheme with Nighthorse to get elected Sheriff that set almost everything bad that happen into motion. Maybe the writers will take you up on that! Im not sure that Walt and Vic are a done deal. 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. No words needed. Nothing really happened between Vic and Walt. Probably no chance though. Im sad to read sometimes that there are Longmire viewers who really dislike Vic, I LOVE her character, flaws and all. 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. Look at Bones. The kind of thing that just leaves you breathless. Bailey Chase and Katee Sackhoff certainly deserve some recognition for their intense scenes. We missed the last few minutes. IMO, the writers gamble failed. 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. Whether the producers/actors will let us know or not, who knows. I just got Detective Fales name this episode (Fales = Fails). Quite a artistic creation. Bluemixerclif August 12, 2014 @ August 5, 2014 @ Lou Diamond Phillips is the epitome of elegance and eloquence. In a season of incredible performances from the whole cast, Robert Taylor delivered powerfully in the scene when Walt finally lets go of Martha. I really want to see Walt, Vic, Lucien and Henry work a case with banter between all 4 of them. I really enjoy Gerald McRaneys acting and hope Barlow sticks around a bit longer. Remember when Walt told Barlow that he thought the shooter was getting back at Barlow through Branch? I read that Longmire DVDs and Blu-Ray sell well on Amazon and elsewhere but then do those buyers find it on TV? I was honestly surprised to read this There is even an owl handler on the first set. Why not kill Longmire himself? Of course we wont get a 4th season. But praying to the Corporate Gods cant hurt! BalsterFudd357 That would be a sharp change of pace to make him a mayor or some other powerful nemesis. 10:30 pm. Very much appreciated. August 5, 2014 @ I agree with most, that the Branch character works best as a deputy. 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. Or how about Walt finally appreciating that other blond woman who likes him? Longmire season 3 finale review: Do we know who killed Walts wife? 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 think Warner held firm. 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. I was stunned by the anti-Vic wing. Additionally, why not take out Walt? These three characters need to interact a lot more. To all Im really enjoying all your thoughts. My favorite part of the finale was the banter between, Vic, Walt and Bearmuch like the recurring theme in the books. She seemed too girlie for him, half fainting violet, half stalker trying to force her way into his life. I suspect that growing the dislike of Vic in some people in the online fandom is because she got involved with a married man. Havent seen her lately . You saw Walt's reaction to hearing the gunfire, which proved that he is nearby and therefore capable of coming to the rescue. 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? I blame AE for that a lot. Watched the last episdoe for season 3 and immediately jumped on this forum to see what all were thinking. But I would record the Jon Tenney spinoff and still watch Longmire. August 5, 2014 @ I, for one, do NOT care for the Vic character. Inside, Longmire commands Ferg (Adam Bartley) to clean out Branchs desk and take the man his belongings while the sheriff and Vic Moretti (Katee Sackhoff) set out to arrest Jacob Nighthorse. Emerald This is where Barlow Connally entered the picture. He's often hard on his nephew, even though . 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. 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. Major Crimes as a lead in I bet would bring in more viewers to Longmire. If Vic and Walt actually got romantic, the characters would seem more predictable than if Vic gets divorced and meets a new man. Like some of you have mentioned, I too have been a little unclear as to why David Ridges would come after Branch with such vengence. Marie just loves her husband and she just found out that he could've died multiple times bcz of Walt. Who is the father of Vic's baby on Longmire? document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Thanks so much for joining us! Why do we have until next year for season 4? 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. That seems to be who the character is to me and I feel like he is lost without it. Very much appreciated. 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. I also wonder whether Walt receives this news in time to prevent him from killing Joseph Nighthorse. Robert W. Hamlett Hopefully, it wont take too long! I couldnt see Lizzie for Walt. So Ifeel theres a very good chance. Sean was out of town on business and Ed Goreski had just threatened Vic. 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? No, Walt does not find out that Barlow killed his wife. Wasnt expecting the possibility of Branchs dad being the person responsible for Marthas death. Mr. Taylor did an excellent job in portraying grief and relief in that powerful moment. Another indication of people not liking storyline or direction ( not necessarily regarding Walt/Vic) is the decline in viewership. Shortly after, I laughed out loud when Vic and Longmire walk into the Red Pony and Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) asks what happened. Lou Stefano Though I still do not like the idea of Walt & Vic in a relationship they do make a good pair. It is only natural, that these two with similar personalities and needs would eventually be drawn together. Douglas Henning Unless there is something business wise (contract negotiations going on?) Free through late August. In the novel, "No Country for Old Men" by Cormac McCarthy, Barlow is the identity of the drug dealer whom Llewellyn kills without Walt ever getting an answer as to why Walt's wife is targeted. 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. 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. He really has the upper edge even though he was distracted. fantastic drama, pulse-pounding action and emotional catharsis. Dont keep us Longmire fans in suspense like A&E did last year. I wanted to make that clear. HOOTIEWHO, LONGMIREA CONNALLY CONUNDRUMBRANCH OR BARLOWOR BOTH? Walt then kills Barlow, avenging Branch and Martha. 2:11 am. Until recently I assumed it was a given and Longmire was just working its way there nice and slow. His line that son of a bitch Walt Longmire sounded like he has a deep hatred for him. It would add more drama. It seems like a far fetched plan, but the man turned out to be ruthless, especially if he killed his own son. 6:41 am. Now, Im finding that my current favorite show might be cancelled? August 5, 2014 @ A&E was never the right network for Longmire. 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. Required fields are marked *. While trap shooting, Branch and Barlow discuss Nighthorse. 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. 3:59 am. The official moment he was free and the plan worked was beyond emotional. Most of the posters here are way ahead of me in the nuances of this tv series. That moment gave us an idea of how much this character holds himself back emotionally, as have several other powerful eruptions of Storm Walt on Longmire (office wrecking!!). That might be some major competition for Longmire if Longmire stays on A&E at 10pm Monday. August 5, 2014 @ I think what Henry said to Branch about returning to his job under Walt after he lost the election has a much deeper meaning now. And doesnt it seem rather misplaced for Barlow to kill Longmires wifewhy would he think that would get his son into the sheriffs office? August 5, 2014 @ I agree with [b]Dog[/b] that Sean should have been gone in season one and that the Gorski story was a mistake. The only way I stumbled on Longmire before it premiered was because of the wasteland of programming and I happened to be watching The Glades which promoted Longmire. 1:36 am. I feel like Henry would have just driven to the cabin. August 5, 2014 @ Barlow had Walt's wife killed because she was leading the charge against a proposed Casino in the county. pboyers Please bring the Longmire BACK even if it re runs. 3:37 am. Its a writing tactic that allows the audience understanding of the plot point. If either he or Walt had killed Beck, the body would never have been found. What is it with these people? I went back to S1 and the S2 to catch up. 3:26 am. Another interesting storyline would be if Branch did go back to the sheriffs dept and his sibling assuming he has one taking up the reins and being just as devious and evil as Barlow. Walt lettting go of Martha was a great scene. I mostly lurk here but have followed these recaps and enjoyed them very much. I do. I have read all the books and highly recommend them. The ONLY TV program I will go out of my way to watch period. Their feelings regarding certain characters may be justified. Now knowing that Barlow had Martha killed to help elect Branch, uh, maybe theres something else we havent been told. I think it was ridges. Heres my off the wall suggestion: this show needs a Clydesdale advertisement to demonstrate strength and determination right along side beauty and gentleness. Angry and spiteful at having lost to Walt, Barlow came up with one last plan. As you say a lot of comments are constructive criticism. 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. 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. 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. Or you get the argument Its in the books, so it has to happen when the tv series had not strictly followed book canon. Thats true of most of the top TV shows though. 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! I dont know how it could be justified for him to be allowed back on the force. Stephanie Nolasco, Ashley Papa. I think Warner Horizon produces Dallas and Rizzoli and Isles but dont think Shepard/Robin/Baldwin/Coveny are invovled. The season finale was funny, exciting, and heartbreaking. austinmoose 4:06 am. One of only a handful of truly great drama and intelligent writing for adults. I cannot imagine Cady ever getting romantically involved with Branch again. Too bad more fans of TV crime dramas havent found it yet. She had stopped at a campground where she fixated on a happy family laughing and holding hands. how much money did the vampire diaries gross. Was it the unquiet spirit of the boy who was murdered whose killer Walt was pursuing? Heres hoping Longmire returns for Season 4, because there are so many questions that still need to be answered. Arcs settled. I so love longmire and hope they keep this t.v show going. As it turned out, Beck was hired to kill Martha by a go-between named David Ridges, who himself was secretly working for greedy Wyoming land developer Barlow Connally. . Ha! Hope they do more of the funny one liners and really missed Walt and Henry playing off one another this season. look at two n half men . Longmire gets better ratings than both. 5:07 am. I thought maybe Bridges stole it just long enough to get to his horse. I only wish they would warn you that the episode is going long. Of course he has some serious apologizing to Vic. Great episode tonight!!! August 5, 2014 @ Ive enjoyed the music throughout this season and find myself adding them to my playlist. It took A&E until end of November to release their official renewal announcement. I found it odd that both season 2 and 3 ended with Branch getting shot. TNT has had King and Maxwell fail after Major Crimes and I think Murder in the First is a failure. Then in the Red Pony Henry says to Vic I think you are spending too much time with Walt you are picking up his speech patterns. This is a good series. Announce a Season 4 and give us at least 12 episodes! Hope for a season four! He tried to do good things but he was an evil man. While the battle of the ballot between Branch and Walt wasn't waged in this season finale of "Longmire" (Sun., 10 p.m. Hopefully he reacted fast enough, but then again they both had clayshot simiar to the Dick Cheney shooting so its very survivable. 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. August 5, 2014 @ I tried watching the Walking Dead after it had been on a season and just had no idea what was going on. Not surprisingly, the fracas brought an end a temporary one, we can only hope to their friendship, just at a time when Walt might need all the friends he can get. He looked so out of place in his fathers office. This is a great cast. Keep up the good work!! It was Branchs big redemption! [b]snowdogmom[/b], 100% support more Lucian Connally and having him partner up with Walt again. Ive started reading the Longmire books. In " Breaking Bad ," Walter White 's descent from mild-mannered family man to murderous meth kingpin . Well, friends, I have heard they cancelled Longmire. Longmires been sheriff a long time, must have gotten in Barlow Connallys way many times over the years. The biggest mistake the producers made was dealing this to A&E. Ratings are a fact of life. Thank you. Longmires now officially on Netflix, and its begun filming Season 4. 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. And why was Ridges going after Branch so adamantly? 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. And how do Baldwin/Coveney, the producers, fit into the picture in terms of ownership and clout? this show has been great and has kept you interested with each show. Miller was the man suspected of killing Walt's wife, who had also been killed. Also, being vocal about your feelings on a subject is the only way to convey them. August 6, 2014 @ I dont think Jacob is squeaky clean either. As to Branch and his dad. I think Henry will start doing what Hector would do because of the guilt he feels about Hectors death, Kate11208 This season has really kept my interest and the cliffhanger of who survives the Branch/Barlow shootout has me waiting for next season even more than the who shot JR one on the original Dallas!. Sorry for the length. Though the way Barlow said I dont have time to make another fortune, Id have my doubts he killed himself. Martha was attacked by Miller Beck on the street after a chemo session in Denver. wonderful season ender season 4 newel should really be a no brainer. Appreciated. I do like Branch and Cady together but think he has as much to do to earn his way back into her good graces as he does to Walts. Cant imagine any Deputy questioning a boss like she does. OnTheElk Thanks. cleaned Walts wounds at the Red Pony. That 60/40 against Walt/Vic is a guess. Plot [] Summary []. I myself didnt like the Gorski storyline. It seemed to have old Maybe? Florida Gov. 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. Cady seemed wimpy to me this year, but in her defense, shes had a hard year. And her worst suspicions appear to be confirmed when she finds an empty beer can Rainier . TNT knows how to promote their shows. I have no problem with that and felt Sean should have been (as in the books) gotten rid of in season one and the entire Gorski plodding plot was unnecessary and/or WAY too long. Then, it was Branch of all people who finally uncovered the truth. I have lost a lot of shows I like because of low ratings. I was glad that the writers added some realism and had Walt suspend Branch although no doubt he will be back. Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. 3:19 am, All content copyright 2011-2022 CarterMatt.com, This site uses cookies to track and store data.
