S4? But, damn, wasnt that a top season closer?! Is David ridges alive Longmire? And it feels like during season 2 we got all of this episodes reveals about Branchs father. It gave us everything we hoped for to see him no longer have to be on the run. August 5, 2014 @ Great episode, great season! [b]samanthajane[/b], That was a nice touch with Vic taking care of Walts ear in the bar. Instead, we have the possibility of Branch actually being dead thanks to a carefully-executed move by his father, and of the entire department in shambles. 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. It has to be more than just Branch being on sacred land (which turned out to be not so much), Davids religious convictions, and discovering that he was indeed still alive. I liked that Branch has discovered his father hired out the murder of Walts wife before Walt learned it. In the books, he is The Bear and I dont think that any of this seasons troubles would have happened to him! In contrast to AETV, AMC has been running Hell on Wheels episodes from ALL the previous seasons continously prior to the new season starting. First, I liked the opening music to this episode. Cady clearly saw more than the wound. Grade: A-. Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. Appreciated. She placed the weapon to her head, crying, trembling, preparing to alleviate her tortured mind. 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. 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. Pretty sick, right? What a hoot (owl pun intended). But that is about to change, and change drastically. I myself didnt like the Gorski storyline. Quite a artistic creation. 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. It would also be great to see he and Cady work their way back to each other. Ive enjoyed the weekly re-caps, as there is always some little gem that I missed while watching. Lots more too about the Longmire books and TV show, glad I found it. But Vics Walt punched me leveled me. Branch will make a comeback in one form or another, and I do not believe this show will be cancelled, moved to another network perhaps, but A&E needs this show. Too many tv shows are lazy and predictable keeping on main characters that should be gone to shake up the show. Thoroughly enjoyed it. In that case, Branch would have been a shoe-in. Good fare & the TV series does not really follow the books story lines, so its not redundant. Walt hitting Vic made me gasp, but her causal reaction was funny as hell as were subsequent scenes with Vic, Walt and Henry in the Red Pony, and then Walt and Henry in cemetry. I think at the time Martha was killed, Branch was actually pretty close to Walt and Barlow was jealous of that. I really dont want to see Walt & Vic in a relationship. Maybe a little to soap-operish?!! Plus TNT would actually promote Longmire. Its likely Branch saw it coming and got the drop on him. I cant see that person living in the half finished cabin or driving that Casi-NO bumper-stickered car. This is the first time in three seasons that that has happened. But the second I can think of now is in the episode Unquiet Mind as one of Walts visions on the mountain. Also, being vocal about your feelings on a subject is the only way to convey them. I could buy a Longmire soundtrack like they use to release for shows like Miami Vice. Quality programming takes yet another hit in favor of more trash TV. The season finale was funny, exciting, and heartbreaking. Well, friends, I have heard they cancelled Longmire. Angry and spiteful at having lost to Walt, Barlow came up with one last plan. I was surprised at Henry pouring one for Cady, hes enabling her. My guess is yes. And I can go either way on arcs versus standalones. We found Longmire during season 2 and fell in love with this program. 3:34 am. Ive enjoyed the music throughout this season and find myself adding them to my playlist.

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? It seems too easy and common. Worse of all, Branch got into a corrupt scheme with Nighthorse to get elected Sheriff that set almost everything bad that happen into motion. SunnyinFL That seems to be who the character is to me and I feel like he is lost without it. I recall, Jacob thinking aloud that Branch had become more like Walt than he (Branch) realized. To characterize some viewers as haters or trolls because they have different view about characters or storylines is a bit harsh and unfair. I have lost a lot of shows I like because of low ratings. We just let them rant. Emerald S3 was too much serial story. The show was given ten extra minutes in order to properly try to answer that question. And thank you, [b]snowdogmom[/b], for being a part of the conversation here each week. In Ashes to Ashes does the owl symbolize that Marthas spirit is still unquiet, that Longmire doesnt have it all figured out as completely as he thinks he does and is on the wrong track going after Nighthorse with a vengeance he feels Martha will need to forgive him of? What I didnt see coming was Branchs father Barlow (Gerald McRaney) being the responsible party. Id call this an A+ episode even though all the loose ends surrounding Marthas and Miller Becks deaths werent tied up well enough. Deeply appreciated.

The official moment he was free and the plan worked was beyond emotional. August 5, 2014 @ Thank you for the article link, emsA2! Though the whole Barlow reveal is still soaking in with me. His son, Branch (The Connallys have some crazy names), the sheriff's deputy, figured out that Barlow had Walt's wife killed. Fabulous scene-entering-good dictation. Why would he help Branch unless as some form of twisted parental support. However, after Walt scatters his wife's ashes, he prepares to go after Nighthorse, believing him to still be involved. I dont think Branch was killed. Bringem Back!! I like Longmire, but it would much be better with more daring writing and less predictable plots. Like something out of the J.K. Rowling school of character naming. . He has spent most of his time jumping to conclusions, excessively whining about doing his job, politicking, and getting into unnecessary conflicts with Walt. Branchs may have been a case of temporary insanity but he definitely went over the edge of mental stabilty this season. I wonder if there is a deeper connection between them. Cant wait! Isnt that where people left notes for Hector with requests for his services? Very much appreciated. I think Warner Horizon produces Dallas and Rizzoli and Isles but dont think Shepard/Robin/Baldwin/Coveny are invovled. Ridges also then killed Beck for the same ass-covering reasons.

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. 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.

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.

Vic should have just been divorced from the start. I agree with all of you. Announce a Season 4 and give us at least 12 episodes!

No words needed. Michael M. Robin is an executive producer on Longmire and also serves as executive producer on Dallas, The Closer, Major Crimes and as consulting producer on the first two seasons of Rizzoli & Isles.
