Lucian is eccentric crazy, a lot of fun, love the character but I worry a bit when he is carrying a gun. He feels responsible for Hectors death, prelude to Henry storyline for season 4. emsA2 I wanted a like button fro your comments. August 5, 2014 @ In that case, Branch would have been a shoe-in. I tought The Red Pony was sburned down in s3.09? 4:29 am. Did you get that figure from the Longmire Posse group? Was someone trying to get ahold of Walt? Branch is a very interesting character. Douglas Henning 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. I am still against Vic and Walt getting romantically involved. Heck, its logging more viewers than many network shows. I do think Barlow was the one to go down, but maybe not by Branch. Your email address will not be published. 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. LOVE THIS SHOW!! . A&E had a very good section on their website last year with detailed plot summaries, lists of cast members, including even the small roles, and information about the music chosen for episodes. It had to be done before anything romantic could happen with Vic. But I would record the Jon Tenney spinoff and still watch Longmire. I think the writers might go in a different direction than killing one of them off. What I didnt see coming was Branchs father Barlow (Gerald McRaney) being the responsible party. 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. Or Branch just grabbed and deflected the shotgun. Whether the producers/actors will let us know or not, who knows. Awesome job on the finale. Having her out of the way would allow Branchs father to move forward with the construction of the casino. TNT knows how to promote their shows. August 5, 2014 @ [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. I noticed the writers tried to fix that by claiming that Vic did not know he was married, but by then of course, it was too little, too late. Aha! I was confused about that point myself but thats a logical conclusion. 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. Too many tv shows are lazy and predictable keeping on main characters that should be gone to shake up the show. Why did Barlow have Walt's wife killed? Since we know he is an only son, it would be his sister. We hear the shotgun blast as we see Longmire looking concerned while scanning the landscape, as if he heard it, too. 3:26 am. 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. Loved how they tied up the Henry trial and Marthas murder, but left open ends for next season. 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. lou diamond is a good actor. I am sure if the show is renewed that the writers will be going full steam ahead with Walt and Vics romance. Id hate to see that here. She caught Vic staying with Walt last season. . Henry had acquired the teeth, but not from Miller directly. Plus TNT would actually promote Longmire. Why would Barlow go that route? The Closer and Major Crimes yes. Keep it going!!!!!! One of only a handful of truly great drama and intelligent writing for adults. Remember when Walt told Barlow that he thought the shooter was getting back at Barlow through Branch? It should be renewed for a fourth season because it is one of the best shows on television. They have nothing worth watching. Jane Davis He started asking about Ridges, once he put two-n-two together. August 5, 2014 @ Why not kill Longmire himself? August 5, 2014 @ 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. Im not sure that Walt and Vic are a done deal. Plot [] Summary []. August 5, 2014 @ And her worst suspicions appear to be confirmed when she finds an empty beer can Rainier . He had confronted his father about the $50,000 payment supposedly paid to Jacob Nighthorse. I have lost a lot of shows I like because of low ratings. However, the writers make some odd choices so I would not be surprised if suddenly they try to write them as some great romance, but I hope that Cady gets a new love interest. [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. When Branch asks what he has to do to earn his way back in, Longmire replies he doesnt know. Hey that must be why they killed off the REALLY insubordinate male deputy. I have a feeling Vics husband is not out of the picture yet. 4:50 pm. 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. Hope for a season four! Pretty sick, right? What a hoot (owl pun intended). I absolutely love this show and i dont watch TV very often. Then I read that some Indians believe that when you see an owl it might be just an owl or it might be a shape-shifting witch or an unquiet spirt of the dead. Unquiet spirit of the dead resonated with me. We just let them rant. Marie just loves her husband and she just found out that he could've died multiple times bcz of Walt. It can be very frustrating . Who knows what A&E will do? [b]samanthajane[/b], Branch has been mostly a terrible law enforcement officer since season one. Looking forward to season 4! . What I have missed this year is the interaction with the Rez, especially Mathias. 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. First, Id like to raise. It deserves more promotion a better time slot and it will get many more fans. Any TV business experts around? She is devoted to her job and justice and cares about the victims so it is not surprising that Walt is so close to Vic and has developed feelings for her. The vast majority of the time, this sort of thing in a finale leads to them finding a way to survive. Bailey Chase, with his increasingly desperate, haunted face and those electric blue eyes has given Branch much substance behind the swagger. Its the most important barometer a network uses to indicate popularity. The other thing I found interesting in this article was that at the time it was written there was talk about trying to cast Dog and finding it really difficult. Especially after the punch in the kisser. It works in the books and it took Craig about four books/four years to get there. Also was intrigued about Henry taking the jar. 11:22 am. In the TV series, hes Henry and LDP does a very good job with his character. PBS is doing the same thing with the final three episodes of Poirot. Without a doubt. They dont even respond on their various Facebook pages. August 5, 2014 @ In a way, hes a lot like Walt in that he just wouldnt be comfortable with the dirty dealings of his fathers business. I feel like the Longmire writers gave us a study in variations of a familial crazy gene this season. Ill be so disappointed if it doesnt return! August 5, 2014 @ [b]samanthajane[/b], That was a nice touch with Vic taking care of Walts ear in the bar. wonderful season ender season 4 newel should really be a no brainer. Keep up the good work!! August 12, 2014 @ I was surprised at Henry pouring one for Cady, hes enabling her. That character added tons this season but Im with you on Henry, Vic, and Walt interacting more. She made it clear that she was done with Walt before slamming out of Walts house. I caught up some via On Demand and this years AE pre-season but not until I bought Season 1/2 and binge watched it (highly recommended) did I get to see ALL of the previous episodes. I think Branch shooting his dad sets up another season very well still lots to chase down, including how much Nighthorse knew. AMC. 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. It would also be great to see he and Cady work their way back to each other. It sounds kind of Longmirish. Barbara Proctor It is unfortunate that the writers are unlikely to consider having Branch kicked off completely. Top of his game. Im sure I dont remember all the times we see in owl in Longmire episodes. 1:06 pm. This show always surprises me so I am certain that a Season 4 would continue that trend. Havent seen her lately . Sean was out of town on business and Ed Goreski had just threatened Vic. Great writing! I cant wait for Season 4. Cady clearly saw more than the wound. It was still able to hook me so that by the end of S2 I was head over heels. I so love longmire and hope they keep this t.v show going. Cady seemed wimpy to me this year, but in her defense, shes had a hard year. Great writing, solid acing performances. Perhaps, Bear has something there he doesnt want to risk anyone seeing. Unless he felt it was so urgent he wouldnt get there fast enough or he was driving somewhere else but needed to tell Walt why? So, we wait and see if A&E is really about ENTERTAINMENT and renews Longmire. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. This year, I recommended this show to a lot of people. Its shame Longmire has no help from a lead in show. giambotta recipe lidia; anxiety operational definition; kotor things to do before leaving taris Longmire season 3 finale review: Do we know who killed Walts wife? A&E wanted a larger profit share. 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 ! And I can go either way on arcs versus standalones. Is Branch dead? It might also gain him an offer to return as a Deputy, though I wonder whether hed take it. I mostly lurk here but have followed these recaps and enjoyed them very much. 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. They would watch for a while and become disinterested their reason -they had no clue what was going on with half the storylines. August 7, 2014 @ [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. Mr. Taylor did an excellent job in portraying grief and relief in that powerful moment. Why did Walt have to kill Gus? I think the whole Martha being killed story arc wasnt needed. Excellent!!! Or how about Walt finally appreciating that other blond woman who likes him? Please A&E, renew quickly with a lot more episodes. Fabulous scene-entering-good dictation. Of course he has some serious apologizing to Vic. He looked so out of place in his fathers office. August 5, 2014 @ Teens Break-in to House to Bake Marijuana Brownies. Dog stated: First, can you tell us a little about your new series, Crossfire, on Britbox? But all this begs the question, if Barlow Connally hired David Ridges to kill Martha Longmire, did Ridges do the deed himself, or did he outsource the murder by hiring Miller Beck? Read them in order to get the full development of the characters. Robert W. Hamlett [b]Penny[/b], I also dont see Cady backtracking with Branch. If Barlow is dead, he is going to need Walt more than ever. But once Walt realizes Barlows involvement I can see him forgiving Branch. What is it with these people? 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. Having sufficiently stoked Walt's rage, Barlow then draws a gun so Walt shoots him, twice. I initially thought he was comptemplating suicide but then figured that was just not his personality. Randy, I played the scene several times to see if by the shotguns empty cartridge I could tell because there was red and a silver casings and they show that final spent shell. I, for one, do NOT care for the Vic character. I do. Free through late August. Walt, who is finally starting to understand the truth, realizes that not only was Ridges involved, but Nighthorse was also involved.He believes that these are the only 2 to be involved. Who called Walts home phone? I did notice Cady eyeing them, when Vic naturally and caringly 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. However, after Walt scatters his wife's ashes, he prepares to go after Nighthorse, believing him to still be involved. My guess on the ending: Barlow tried and failed to kill Branch. I hate these reality shows . I assume that came from ridges war paint. IMO, the writers gamble failed. 5:07 am. Lets hope another network is smart enough to pick Longmire up. John Coveny tweeted the renewal for S3 last year at the end of August as did Lou Diamond Philips but then Lou removed his tweet. Thank you, Mr. Grainger for your wonderful posts! I also wonder whether Walt receives this news in time to prevent him from killing Joseph Nighthorse. He releases her ashes onto the ground where he promised 'til death do us part years ago. [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. Why is it still functional in s3.10? Very much appreciated. 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. [b]emsA2 [/b]Appreciated your take on the VicWaltship. I totally agree. The for group can also rant, just not as loudly. In the same book, Cady marries Philadelphia Police Officer Michael Moretti, the brother of Walt's undersheriff, Vic Moretti, on the Rez; Michael and she had been seeing each other since . 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. Barlow did seem a bit shaky there at the end. Was it just a device to let us hear Marthas voice as Walt was going to spread her ashes or was there more significance? I loved the humor. August 5, 2014 @ August 5, 2014 @ BTW, as to Branch firing a warning shot Remember the Owl showed up the messenger of death. Longmire is the best show on TV PERIOD! 4:06 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. Branch confronts Barlow and Barlow kills him, but makes it look like a suicide. Of course, I was left asking: who set the wheels in motion for Miller Beck to kill Martha Longmire? Though I still do not like the idea of Walt & Vic in a relationship they do make a good pair. You saw Walt's reaction to hearing the gunfire, which proved that he is nearby and therefore capable of coming to the rescue. Never apologize for the length around here. Walt then kills Barlow, avenging Branch and Martha, but is taken into court as Barlow had intended for his death to be used to get Walt accused of murdering him. Nicely said, Virginia! Not only did Barlow funnel money through Nighthorse to support Branch's campaign for Sheriff, he also made a significant payment made to Nighthorse's business the week that Martha was killeda payment intended for a "soldier," with no questions asked. 3:23 am. Henry genuinely asks, Someone stole a corpse? Ferg comments, I know. Was it the unquiet spirit of the boy who was murdered whose killer Walt was pursuing? Huffington Post. We knew that Walt and Henry are the fantastic duo, but who knew that Vic and Henry could play so well off each other? Unless they did pitch to TNT and were rejected. August 5, 2014 @ 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 J and B I blame AE for that a lot. The humorous scenes between Walt and Henry were indeed a welcomed return. Most of the posters here are way ahead of me in the nuances of this tv series. Great story, even with all the holes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the best of the Longmire storyline. 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.

Advertisement "You may be innocent, but your friend Henry is not," Fales said, leaving Walt facing a difficult situation. Lou Stefano years(!) I wont get into a debate why the ratings are down as there are so many factors impacting them and I dont think they are accurate in the first place. 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. There is a special feature on the Longmire Season 2 DVD where the producers talk about Walts visions on the mountain. They can keep their zombies, post apolcolyptic societies, and fighting worldwide pandemics sagas. This is an attempt to do whats right, and wash himself free of the familys sins. 6:41 am. Kalalau Some real big laughs in Ashes to Ashes. Its rare for me to laugh out loud watching films but this had me laughing. But praying to the Corporate Gods cant hurt! Has the owl brought a message of peace for Walt from Marthaor has someone died? When Barlow was talking about how the Connallys settled Absaroka County I wondered how nuts Branchs grandfather/great-grandfather might have been. Ha! The whole Sean and Gorski story arcs were not needed. leave the good ones alone. While trap shooting, Branch and Barlow discuss Nighthorse. "The cowboy has always been a dying breedBut he takes his dying slowly, perched upon his steed." Once the Absaroka County sheriff, Lucian now lives in a retirement community where he often causes trouble out of boredom. [b]CarolK[/b], Im not exactly sure about the moment when Branch stood in front of the mirror with what Im assuming was war paint. August 7, 2014 @ Though the way Barlow said I dont have time to make another fortune, Id have my doubts he killed himself. Lots more too about the Longmire books and TV show, glad I found it. Ive enjoyed the weekly re-caps, as there is always some little gem that I missed while watching. Ive always been a little hazy as to why Ridges went after Branch. Regardless, I think that Vic is one of the few good female characters on tv. 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. 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.
