Without a doubt. Do they have to pay Warner Horizon Televison everytime they show an episode and it costs double during prime-time or something? Im sure the writers have been to all the boards and taken note of viewers feelings, hence the change in the Gorski affair storyline. This is especially true of Henry Standing Bear. Then Walt leaves Vic stranded at the Red Pony as he rushes to Denver. Ill take it one step further. Mr. Taylor did an excellent job in portraying grief and relief in that powerful moment. But it appeared Branch used both types. We are dying here for better programming. A&E needs to promote it more and show it at an earlier time so that MORE people can watch. The show was given ten extra minutes in order to properly try to answer that question. PaulK, I feel after he spread Marthas ashes he was headed to confront Jacob Nighthorse. And her worst suspicions appear to be confirmed when she finds an empty beer can Rainier . 7:20 pm. Branch,Barlow.. I dont have a Kindle (or any tablet/e-reader) yet, so Ive been getting them out of the library. She is a far better deputy than Branch or Ferg. Is David ridges alive Longmire? I did notice Cady eyeing them, when Vic naturally and caringly cleaned Walts wounds at the Red Pony. 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. Luckily, Walts daughter proved herself to be more than capable. Longmires now officially on Netflix, and its begun filming Season 4. Henry seeing the jar full understood there was still a real need for the service Hector provided. August 5, 2014 @ August 5, 2014 @ That would be a sharp change of pace to make him a mayor or some other powerful nemesis. I think the writers might go in a different direction than killing one of them off. Billy Rayburn 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. 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. Why does Barlow kill branch? James Silva Sorry for the length. [url=http://deadline.com/2014/08/longmire-cancelled-by-ae-will-be-shopped-elsewhere-826379/]http://deadline.com/2014/08/longmire-cancelled-by-ae-will-be-shopped-elsewhere-826379/[/url]. Angry and spiteful at having lost to Walt, Barlow came up with one last plan. This year, I recommended this show to a lot of people. August 5, 2014 @ We cant imagine this show ending. Walt lettting go of Martha was a great scene. Season 4? The Season 1 DVD didnt come out until a year after season 1 aired and when asked about Blu-Ray version, nothing. I really dont care how Vic dresses; love Ruby and Lucian; and the Ferg is a hoot. 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. Walt is great and all the cast play great off each other. I cant wait for Season 4. It was only five minutes before the end of the episode when this happened, and we were still confused but only briefly. Thus far, weve been treated to a relatively small cast, just a few major players, and only a few important families. [b]Mates[/b], One of the best moments in television in a long time. I hope we hear by the end of August. Nighthorse (A. Martinez) has lawyered upshes there in his officeand he has, on the surface, a damn good alibi. I dont know remember how much is revealed about Martha in Craig Johnsons books besides the fact that they met very young, 20-21 and anything more is sketchy but there are a couple novels in the series I have not read yet. Did you get that figure from the Longmire Posse group? Shareen This would keep the main hero and the main villain in place to drive the story over the next season. I felt like it represented Marthas spirit somehow. 3:34 am. I think Warner Horizon produces Dallas and Rizzoli and Isles but dont think Shepard/Robin/Baldwin/Coveny are invovled. I mean it was a continuing success for A&E even with a dip in the third season. But once Walt realizes Barlows involvement I can see him forgiving Branch. Much more about power and money than the benefit to Branch. 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 Its been a lot of fun reviewing the show each week and meeting so many other fans of the show. August 5, 2014 @ Longmire is the best show on tv PERIOD! They would watch for a while and become disinterested their reason -they had no clue what was going on with half the storylines. When it comes to Henrys case, we spent most of the 70 minutes basically convincing ourselves that the guy was going to go back to prison. 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. August 5, 2014 @ Why would he help Branch unless as some form of twisted parental support. [b]Dog[/b], checking the online dictionary it says owls are considered by some to be harbingers of bad luck, ill health, or death. So we have some wiggle room on the meaning of the owl showing up to hard-eye Walt. Lucian is eccentric crazy, a lot of fun, love the character but I worry a bit when he is carrying a gun. August 12, 2014 @ Snowdogmom, we have had discussions in other forums and I have always found your opinions insightful. I just love this series. giambotta recipe lidia; anxiety operational definition; kotor things to do before leaving taris I really hope it comes back for many seasons to come and I want 26 episodes per season! I recall, Jacob thinking aloud that Branch had become more like Walt than he (Branch) realized. I am enjoying reading the comments here. So Ifeel theres a very good chance. 4:06 am. Isnt that where people left notes for Hector with requests for his services? 5:52 am. 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. But I would record the Jon Tenney spinoff and still watch Longmire. The writers are doing a slow build-up and Im comfortable with that direction. Or Branch just grabbed and deflected the shotgun. DrewOFB, A very quick check says the song was Lawdy by The Vespers. While trap shooting, Branch and Barlow discuss Nighthorse. Who called Walts home phone? But the second I can think of now is in the episode Unquiet Mind as one of Walts visions on the mountain. Hopefully, it wont take too long! 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. He really has the upper edge even though he was distracted. We just let them rant. Bringem Back!! I agree with [b]Dog[/b] that Sean should have been gone in season one and that the Gorski story was a mistake. Too bad more fans of TV crime dramas havent found it yet. Dog stated: Perhaps as someone else mentioned he could be mayor or something. A New Old Western that premiered on A&E on June 3, 2012 based on the "Walt Longmire Mysteries" novel series by Craig Johnson. Unfortunately, now he may be dead. What I have missed this year is the interaction with the Rez, especially Mathias. Its the most important barometer a network uses to indicate popularity. She made it clear that she was done with Walt before slamming out of Walts house. Vic should have just been divorced from the start. LOVE THIS SHOW!! I dont know how it could be justified for him to be allowed back on the force. It can be very frustrating . This is where Barlow Connally entered the picture. Quality programming takes yet another hit in favor of more trash TV. And I appreciate everyone that joined in the conversation over the past ten weeks. Im sad to read sometimes that there are Longmire viewers who really dislike Vic, I LOVE her character, flaws and all. Daddy Barlow was revealed to be full-on, evil crazy. It had to be done before anything romantic could happen with Vic. It should be renewed for a fourth season because it is one of the best shows on television. There are so many better story arcs for Henrys character. Favorite line remains, If you do the job right, Walt, by the time you put down your sheriffs badge, youre a wanted man. It packed a wallop of an emotional punch for Longmire viewers from Henry being freed to Walts farewell to Martha to the Connally father and son confrontation. [b]Penny[/b], Gotta say Id hate to see Branch gone. I wouldnt write him out until the divorce, although hes proven himself to be a coward in the face of dangernot Vics type. Futhermore, I feel that Walts wife was robbed my a meth-head and accidently killed. Pretty sick, right? What a hoot (owl pun intended). Thanks. Luckily, Walt's daughter proved herself to be more than capable. Thanks; hope its a short hiatus. Ive had enough of Branch the crazy rogue this season. if they take longmire off there is only reserection left. Especially after the punch in the kisser. I hope Branch isnt dead, but it seems like he might be and sometimes great characters have to die to advance a story.of course it could be his father who was shot, so.. Cindy Pierce Florida Gov. I liked that Branch has discovered his father hired out the murder of Walts wife before Walt learned it. I was honestly surprised to read this There is even an owl handler on the first set. 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. years(!) 3:19 am, All content copyright 2011-2022 CarterMatt.com, This site uses cookies to track and store data. The finale had fewer viewers than the season premiere. [b]samanthajane[/b], That was a nice touch with Vic taking care of Walts ear in the bar. It would be the same with a lot of other shows, coming in after several seasons. Finale did not disappoint. Longmire gets better ratings than both. He pulled a gun on Walt who was forced to shoot him down. August 5, 2014 @ Thats a little flip about mental illness so no offense to anyone. Branch then delivers his father up to Longmire (his alternate father figure). 4:29 am. DrewOFB, you are welcome. This is a fine series with superb acting, writing, and production values. I however have been on sites where people are downright nasty if you express you like the Vic character, or say she has some redeeming quailties, or she is the most reliable deputy, or disagree with their opinion at all and the same people post over and over and over and over again even when the topic may not be about Vic and they have already expressed their opinion. Just curious. It had been lost for most of the season because of the heavy ramifications of a looming prison sentence. how much money did the vampire diaries gross. What did you think about the Longmire finale, and were the reveals everything that you expected and then some? Branch confronts Barlow and Barlow kills him, but makes it look like a suicide. My guess on the ending: Barlow tried and failed to kill Branch. Whatever happen to the lady that had the hots for Walt? The whole Sean and Gorski story arcs were not needed. The ONLY TV program I will go out of my way to watch period. Barlow then revealed a knife and stabbed himself twice, further framing Walt for his murder right in front of him. I am sure if the show is renewed that the writers will be going full steam ahead with Walt and Vics romance. Was it concrete or cement rather than paint? Was it a salute to Joe Tuck, the driver who died, a toast to the season, a toast to the audience, a bit of all three? Walt then kills Barlow, avenging Branch and Martha. Are there trolls that exist online? August 5, 2014 @ I agree with most, that the Branch character works best as a deputy. August 5, 2014 @ I mostly lurk here but have followed these recaps and enjoyed them very much. Thank you, Mr. Grainger for your wonderful posts! 11:08 pm. I have lost a lot of shows I like because of low ratings. And Branch turning his own father over to Walt will probably clear his way to return to his job. August 5, 2014 @ 6:41 am. But, damn, wasnt that a top season closer?! Andrey is a coach, sports writer and editor. August 14, 2014 @ He releases her ashes onto the ground where he promised 'til death do us part years ago. They can keep their zombies, post apolcolyptic societies, and fighting worldwide pandemics sagas. Cady clearly saw more than the wound. I do. In a season of incredible performances from the whole cast, Robert Taylor delivered powerfully in the scene when Walt finally lets go of Martha. 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? Ive started reading the Longmire books. Id love to see more of Peter Wellers character, Lucien Connally. Whether the producers/actors will let us know or not, who knows. 3:26 am. I will say that the very reason that you want to keep Branch is exactly why he should be killed off or sent away. Several British stars have turned down the offer to help ring in King Charles III's coronation. I finally thought to Google longmire owl symbol and found a great article from June 4, 2012 interviewing Craig Johnson. Keep up the good work!! Ive enjoyed the music throughout this season and find myself adding them to my playlist. Having sufficiently stoked Walt's rage, Barlow then draws a gun so Walt shoots him, twice. I read that Longmire DVDs and Blu-Ray sell well on Amazon and elsewhere but then do those buyers find it on TV? It would seem for outward appearances they are after the quick buck and not entertainment thus the cheaply made farsical reality fiascos. Was it a symbol that he was at risk of dying? Plus TNT would actually promote Longmire. All the tributes proved just how many people Hector had helped and how much he was missed. Quailty program has become an endangered species. It was still able to hook me so that by the end of S2 I was head over heels. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Weve waited for three seasons for Longmire to start to reveal who is responsible for killing Walts wife, and with that in mind, we had some very big expectations for the finale. A&E already cancelled The Glades, which was a good show too, I hope they dont do the same with Longmire! I laughed at Walt & Henrys grave robbing antics and cried when Walt let Martha go. Bluemixerclif Its likely Branch saw it coming and got the drop on him. I concur everyone is entitled to their opinion. Hey that must be why they killed off the REALLY insubordinate male deputy. 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? So, we wait and see if A&E is really about ENTERTAINMENT and renews Longmire. In the back of the sheriffs vehicle, David Ridges (David Midthunder) lies dead. August 5, 2014 @ The Real Housewives of Atlanta The Bachelor Sister Wives 90 Day Fiance Wife Swap The Amazing Race Australia Married at First Sight The Real Housewives of Dallas My 600-lb Life Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Deeply appreciated. And why was Ridges going after Branch so adamantly? It was innocent, but she drew the conclusion it wasnt. Heck, its logging more viewers than many network shows. Why did Henry take Hectors drop jar?. 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. this show has been great and has kept you interested with each show. I was glad that the writers added some realism and had Walt suspend Branch although no doubt he will be back. This is a good series. More please. MinnesotaJacob, The shows is following the lead already established by Craig Johnsons top novels. August 5, 2014 @ I noticed that they were not so obliging this year. It would really be a shame if it is renewed. Please dont be stupid. As the scene closes with Branch getting ready to take in his corrupt father, maybe hoping to earn his way back into the department or just because hes realized that hes not like his dad, Branchs father says hes sorry he failed him, but its not too late to have another son. Which happens frequently in the real world. . No, Walt does not find out that Barlow killed his wife. Well, Im afraid weve discovered the other side of that coin, as this weeks 10-year jump felt a bit too jarring. 4:50 pm. August 6, 2014 @ Yes, I am reading them in order I do always like to do that. 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 managed to reload his shotgun (or pull a concealed pistol), triggered the trap as a distraction, and turned to fire on Branch. 7:21 pm, Barlow basically admitted to hiring Ridges through Nighthorseto inflict pain on the Sheriff so he would lose it and drink himself out of the office of Sheriff so Barlows son Branch would win the election in a land slide and he would have influence in the highest office in the county to which he has a LARGE stake in the Indian Casino and still have an upper hand over the Indian Tribal Council though his SON the SHERIFF and become even more wealth and powerful. Walt and Vic will ruin a perfect working relationship if they move to a personal relationship. [FAQ] What happened to branch on longmire? are for watching things over a year old, LOL. 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. Perhaps, Bear has something there he doesnt want to risk anyone seeing. A&E wanted a larger profit share. I also find it surprising that Barlow, who supposedly had Vice President business cards made for Branch before he became a member of police and desperately wanted his son to follow in his footsteps, would take out Martha to help Branch become Sheriff. I like your Fales name observation and thank you for some very intriguing and fresh interpretations. Keep it going!!!!!! I also agree that there seems to be more to Barlows malice toward Walt. In tonights finale Walt was driving it like it was never stolen/borrowed. His line that son of a bitch Walt Longmire sounded like he has a deep hatred for him. Very slim possibility I know but I dont see the Branch/Barlow relationship ending this way. Those story arcs were part of the cause for so many Vic haters and strong feelings Walt and Vic should not get together. 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 felt like he was at Hectors wall to honor him but then it seemed like more than just that when he took the jar. I think the jar of notes were NEW requests since Hector passed. Kodi2k6 Lets hope another network is smart enough to pick Longmire up. Great episode, great season! I feel like the Longmire writers gave us a study in variations of a familial crazy gene this season. Didnt care for her part then, and dont now. 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. I did notice Cady eyeing them, when Vic naturally and caringly 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. In this storyline and others, they went against book canon. What makes this show so great is the characters and their interactions especially with each other in solving crimes. I just pray that we get another season, and that the showrunners go back to having the team solving murders.
