August 5, 2014 @ Awesome job on the finale. August 6, 2014 @ Both the Walt and Vic characters have been encumbered, by the writers, with way too much baggage. He does have legal problems with his role though doesnt he? 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 releases her ashes onto the ground where he promised 'til death do us part years ago. Why this and why that? The official moment he was free and the plan worked was beyond emotional. It was only five minutes before the end of the episode when this happened, and we were still confused but only briefly. I loved the finale but I hate the wait to find out what is next. Robert W. Hamlett Cant wait for season 4!!! When Branch asks what he has to do to earn his way back in, Longmire replies he doesnt know. Nighthorse (A. Martinez) has lawyered upshes there in his officeand he has, on the surface, a damn good alibi. 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. Florida Gov. Please bring the Longmire BACK even if it re runs. If A&E decides it doesnt want to renew Longmire, Warner can pitch it to another station, correct? All the new summer offerings from all the networks have been a big disappointment. Well, Im afraid weve discovered the other side of that coin, as this weeks 10-year jump felt a bit too jarring. Vic should have just been divorced from the start. My favorite part of the finale was the banter between, Vic, Walt and Bearmuch like the recurring theme in the books. It is A&E fault for poor promotion of Longmire from day 1. I feel like the Longmire writers gave us a study in variations of a familial crazy gene this season. It took A&E until end of November to release their official renewal announcement. 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. NEeds to be more episodes. The biggest mistake the producers made was dealing this to A&E. I think he paid to inflict pain on Walt. 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. August 5, 2014 @ I absolutely love this show and i dont watch TV very often. Though I still do not like the idea of Walt & Vic in a relationship they do make a good pair. What would be the best network for Longmire to find a new home, assuming A&E pulls the plug? I think were in for a long wait on that announcement but I certainly hope Im wrong. I didnt know the renewal of Longmire was an issue with A&E. Was it a symbol that he was at risk of dying? Perhaps, blackmail from Ridges. 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. For six seasons, Nighthorse has been Longmire's usual suspect, accused of everything from helping murder Walt's wife to killing deputy Branch Connally (Bailey Chase) to using the casino he. Would be a shame if Branch turned up dead. djrandall9 Like something out of the J.K. Rowling school of character naming. 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. Looking forward to Season 4! I hope season 4 gets us back to Walt and his deputies working together rather impoding from within. 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. The person he hired killed the person that killed her. Im sad to read sometimes that there are Longmire viewers who really dislike Vic, I LOVE her character, flaws and all. Drax The Destroyer Bailey Chase and Katee Sackhoff certainly deserve some recognition for their intense scenes. They run a marathon of the current season during the day on a Friday? Unfortunately, now he may be dead. 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. There are so many better story arcs for Henrys character. 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. Sean was out of town on business and Ed Goreski had just threatened Vic. The season finale was funny, exciting, and heartbreaking. Not a dry eye in the house! Fair or not. I hope we hear by the end of August. TNT has had King and Maxwell fail after Major Crimes and I think Murder in the First is a failure. For basic cable, I would suggest TNT. In " Breaking Bad ," Walter White 's descent from mild-mannered family man to murderous meth kingpin . She is a far better deputy than Branch or Ferg. They have such great chemistry! I loved the humor. August 14, 2014 @ If Barlow is dead, he is going to need Walt more than ever. August 5, 2014 @ He came away with something on his thumb. I cant wait for Season 4. We are dying here for better programming. I have removed A&E from my channel lineup. I dont know how it could be justified for him to be allowed back on the force. As to Branch and his dad. This is a great cast. 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. 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. We didnt see that one coming either. Id love to see more of Peter Wellers character, Lucien Connally. 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? He was particularly angered by the drive-by shooting where Branch was hit by the supposed killer hired to eliminate Walt's wife. It is unfortunate that the writers are unlikely to consider having Branch kicked off completely. I am surprise that Baldwin/Coveney and Greer Shepard and others didnt pitch Longmire to TNT as they served as executive producers/consulting producers on The Closer, Major Crimes, Rizzoli & Isles and Dallas. One of the top five shows on television period! It would be the same with a lot of other shows, coming in after several seasons. I expect that the writers will stick him back in the Sheriffs Office though. I think Warner held firm. Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship in California and Hawaii has been preaching and inspiring others to become closer to God for decades. Fabulous scene-entering into the morgue, the silence prior to dropping off Branch, the looks between Vic, Ferg, and Ruby, the wonderment and humor of this finale (2 shovles? 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. Christine The only reason I watch A&E is to watch Longmire. Barlow had Walt's wife killed because she was leading the charge against a proposed Casino in the county. 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. Has the owl brought a message of peace for Walt from Marthaor has someone died? 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 do have to note, though, that Branchs father did not say that he paid to have Walts wife killed. Thanks for letting me vent. And Branch turning his own father over to Walt will probably clear his way to return to his job. Though the whole Barlow reveal is still soaking in with me. He had confronted his father about the $50,000 payment supposedly paid to Jacob Nighthorse. It has been reported that A&E is contracturally obligated to make a renewal decision by August 31st. Great story, even with all the holes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the best of the Longmire storyline. 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. The dying Barlow laughed, making Longmire realize the gun was empty. Do that , then watch the ratings go UP UP and way UP! 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. 3:36 am. The show was given ten extra minutes in order to properly try to answer that question. I so love longmire and hope they keep this t.v show going. I bet a lot of Longmire viewers watch Major Crimes. I tought The Red Pony was sburned down in s3.09? The season finale was a great episode with my favorite line of the series: Walt punched me. [FAQ] What happened to branch on longmire? I like their interactions so far, both tender (Walts comforting embrace at the hospital) and tough (yeah, that punch was hysterical). If you tried to ask about the season 1 DVD or when it would show up on Netflix you got no answers and Netflix hadnt even heard about it. Loved how they tied up the Henry trial and Marthas murder, but left open ends for next season. No words needed. In this storyline and others, they went against book canon. 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. I am enjoying reading the comments here. Their feelings regarding certain characters may be justified. I think he may have done this in hopes of keeping Walt from getting closure and keeping him off balance. Never liked his fathers character. August 7, 2014 @ Of course, but not all different opinions are negative, some criticisms are constructive. Perhaps as someone else mentioned he could be mayor or something. 3:26 am. Your email address will not be published. 9:24 pm.
