He was particularly angered by the drive-by shooting where Branch was hit by the supposed killer hired to eliminate Walt's wife. One of only a handful of truly great drama and intelligent writing for adults. To characterize some viewers as haters or trolls because they have different view about characters or storylines is a bit harsh and unfair. I couldnt see Lizzie for Walt.

August 5, 2014 @ It seems like a far fetched plan, but the man turned out to be ruthless, especially if he killed his own son. He's often hard on his nephew, even though . 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. Very much appreciated. IMO, the writers gamble failed. Of course, I was left asking: who set the wheels in motion for Miller Beck to kill Martha Longmire? Dog stated: 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.

I think Warner held firm. Both the Walt and Vic characters have been encumbered, by the writers, with way too much baggage. 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. 3:26 am.

He attended the University of Southern California, where he played offensive lineman for the USC Trojans and . There are so many better story arcs for Henrys character. Why did Henry take Hectors drop jar?. Please be back with season 4 soon. August 5, 2014 @ Bailey Chase and Katee Sackhoff certainly deserve some recognition for their intense scenes. I loved that so many characters had to down a shot of whiskey in this episode because I needed one when it was over too. And Walts not going to kill anyone, especially not the wrong guy! Feel dumb for asking, but what was in the jar Henry took out of the rocks at the end? I cant help but wonder what effect Malachis return will have on both Mathias and the Rez next year (and there will be a NEXT year on some network! 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? [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. My guess is yes. That would be a sharp change of pace to make him a mayor or some other powerful nemesis. They rant against those with a well thought out objection, not only against those who just state they hate Vic. The season finale was a great episode with my favorite line of the series: Walt punched me. of Marthas murderVics home problemsGorskiBecks murder then throw in Henry being chargedBranchs insanity..David Ridgesetc. A&E was never the right network for Longmire.

I dont want to jinx it but I cant see why another network wouldnt pick the show up. They only have three shows drawing any sizeable audience Longmire, Bates Hotel and DD (I have never watched either of the last two). Glad you asked this? emsa2, I think Walt deserved a drink after what hes had to deal with and more than a Raineer. Hopefully in season 4 we will see more humorous interactions between Walt and Henry, I would love to know more about their history, and of course it would be great to see Walt and Vic finally have some happiness together. I like a balance. Id hate to see that here. Sorry for the length. But that is about to change, and change drastically. It would add more drama. [b]Dog[/b], Interesting theory.

August 5, 2014 @ Ive enjoyed the music throughout this season and find myself adding them to my playlist. Cant wait for Season 4!!!! Very good points, [b]Penny[/b]. A rifle was fired but that does not mean someone was killed but that scene was quite powerful regardless. 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. IMO (2 cents), I think Barlow killed himself, It seems relatively invisible/ignored in the entertainment media. I think Henry will start doing what Hector would do because of the guilt he feels about Hectors death, Kate11208 Has the owl brought a message of peace for Walt from Marthaor has someone died? 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. Appreciated. I dont think coming in on season 3 and being lost in the story arcs is unique to Longmire. What a great finale and another great season! 3:34 am. Was it a symbol that he was at risk of dying?

I dont have a Kindle (or any tablet/e-reader) yet, so Ive been getting them out of the library. 6:41 am. A red herring so to speak. I was surprised at Henry pouring one for Cady, hes enabling her. Of course he has some serious apologizing to Vic. austinmoose So, we wait and see if A&E is really about ENTERTAINMENT and renews Longmire. I found it odd that both season 2 and 3 ended with Branch getting shot. The official moment he was free and the plan worked was beyond emotional. He just told Brach it was to help him to still try and win him over. I do think Barlow was the one to go down, but maybe not by Branch. better be.) I absolutely love this show and i dont watch TV very often. Loved the endingalways wondered if Barlows character would take a darker turn, and if he was the man behind the curtain. It was Branchs big redemption! Really enjoy all your comments! 5:59 am. Longmire season 3 finale review: Do we know who killed Walts wife?

The Most Evil Things Walter White Ever Did. Yes, I am reading them in order I do always like to do that. I think it was ridges. So I hope they keep it that way, a slow burn of some excellent character chemistry. Mr. Taylor did an excellent job in portraying grief and relief in that powerful moment. I wish I knew more about the contractual relationship between Warner/Horizon and A&E. Walt refutes this, however, saying that he has never loved. When someone takes a couple of shots at Nighthorse's house, Vic fears Walt may have been the shooter. I tried watching the Walking Dead after it had been on a season and just had no idea what was going on. August 6, 2014 @ 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. So, onto Zachary (Barry Sloane). I will say that the very reason that you want to keep Branch is exactly why he should be killed off or sent away. I, for one, do NOT care for the Vic character. Lou Stefano Dont keep us Longmire fans in suspense like A&E did last year. The owl seemed to guide Walt to a cabin and that was essential to him surviving and going on. I concur everyone is entitled to their opinion. But, perhaps, someone else has a better answer? Watched the last episdoe for season 3 and immediately jumped on this forum to see what all were thinking. By the way, the horned owl(s) they have used are really beautiful birds, dont look onimous to me and I have always been struck by how soulful the eyes are and how they look as if they are personally connecting to Walt. Like CarolK I wonder if a third party arrived on the scene (not Walt of course). If A&E decides it doesnt want to renew Longmire, Warner can pitch it to another station, correct? He managed to reload his shotgun (or pull a concealed pistol), triggered the trap as a distraction, and turned to fire on Branch. The person he hired killed the person that killed her. Great story, even with all the holes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the best of the Longmire storyline. The owl is used as symbolism in the show. Ive always been a little hazy as to why Ridges went after Branch. Katee SackhoffVic cant help lovin that man WaltKatee amazingly portrays Vics tough-tender personavivid and vulnerable, Ruby and Fergthe icing on the cakecant have this cake without the icing, Peter Weller and Gerald McRaneyI am longtime fans of both actors, and they are terrific counterpoints to Robert Taylor, Robert Taylor has such a wonderfully, subtly expressive face and eyes that say so muchyet he is physically imposingthat man can really clear a tablealso a deskand that voiceyessireevote for Longmire, A year is an awful long time to wait for Season 4I vote for Season 3.5. We found Longmire during season 2 and fell in love with this program. I loved how it tends to be fairly low key, relative to many other cop shows, and yet can still offer Warner actually films the show and sells it to A&E, as I understand it. He came away with something on his thumb. I didnt know the renewal of Longmire was an issue with A&E. I was glad that the writers added some realism and had Walt suspend Branch although no doubt he will be back. It is unfortunate that the writers are unlikely to consider having Branch kicked off completely. August 5, 2014 @ The season finale was funny, exciting, and heartbreaking. 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. Simply superb. I like your Fales name observation and thank you for some very intriguing and fresh interpretations.
