Elementary has a good song selection, too. Remember when Walt told Barlow that he thought the shooter was getting back at Barlow through Branch? I dont like the idea of Branch in any other job but with the sheriffs department. What makes this show so great is the characters and their interactions especially with each other in solving crimes. I initially thought he was comptemplating suicide but then figured that was just not his personality. Was Longmire on his way to confront Connelly? Especially if it goes long. Whatever happen to the lady that had the hots for Walt? Cady clearly saw more than the wound. He looked so out of place in his fathers office. Andrey is a coach, sports writer and editor. I was surprised at Henry pouring one for Cady, hes enabling her. NEeds to be more episodes. I think TNT should pick it up, put it on Monday at 10pm eastern after Major Crimes and match the number of episodes with Major Crimes. Great episode tonight!!! One episode ago, we didnt think this guy was actually going to be doing anything productive. 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 her out of the way would allow Branchs father to move forward with the construction of the casino. It had to be done before anything romantic could happen with Vic.

Hope for a season four! Didnt watch it until this season. As to Branch and his dad. 3:36 am. If Vic and Walt actually got romantic, the characters would seem more predictable than if Vic gets divorced and meets a new man. I think its time I throw in the towel, swear off TV, and move some place where I can see the keeping up with the cardigans crowd coming from a long damn way offlike Wyoming. I was confused about that point myself but thats a logical conclusion. Nothing really happened between Vic and Walt. Barlow had a shotgun and to use this to shoot Branch he would have to standup and turn around. I just love this series. I really hope it comes back for many seasons to come and I want 26 episodes per season! Angry and spiteful at having lost to Walt, Barlow came up with one last plan. redapple2 If either he or Walt had killed Beck, the body would never have been found.

Most of their encounters were too serious this season. Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Monday to take control of municipal services and development for the special zone encompassing Walt Disney . I did LIKE the Lizzie story-arc, what it revealed about Walt and Vic, how it was part of his healing process and then how after Cadys accident it was used to display one of Longmires most virtuous flaws: that overdeveloped sense of responsibility for everything that in this instance leads him to think giving in to Lizzies seduction led to Cady being in a coma. More episodes would be nice. Please bring the Longmire BACK even if it re runs. Please A&E, renew quickly with a lot more episodes. The season wrapped up the David Ridges storyline, as well as Vics stalker situation and Henry Standing Bears plight. I have read all the books and highly recommend them. 10:30 pm. Do that , then watch the ratings go UP UP and way UP! A red herring so to speak. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I also dont think Barlow paid anyone to kill Branch I think that was Nighthorse.

Loved the endingalways wondered if Barlows character would take a darker turn, and if he was the man behind the curtain. With that finale I am really looking forward to the next season. Ive had enough of Branch the crazy rogue this season. The part when Walt was spreading his wifes ashes was so sad. The scene of Vic, Ruby, and Ferg staring out the window at displaced, disturbed Deputy Branch is one of my all time favorite images for this show. Appreciated. The person he hired killed the person that killed her. Just leave it as she died of cancer like in the books and then whole Henry being charged and arrested would not be needed. Shareen This is an attempt to do whats right, and wash himself free of the familys sins. The exchange between Longmire and Henry as they navigate the cops into helping them out is a comical routine, Henry playing a grave robberwith two shovelswith lawman Longmire hot on his heels. Vic too for that matter if the punch in the face was the best thing that happened to her all week. Wasnt expecting the possibility of Branchs dad being the person responsible for Marthas death. My open question is why did both Henry and Walt go after Miller Beck before Ridges killed him? I think Walts wife had a crusade to keep a casino from being built on the reservation. He expressed the dignified despair of Henry Standing Bear so beautifully. If the arc is well done, like Ridges, I dont mind. Hope for another season where we can find out. 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. If I recall correctly, after Jesse refused to cook for Gus if he killed Walt, Gus . 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? Another indication of people not liking storyline or direction ( not necessarily regarding Walt/Vic) is the decline in viewership. Longmire, Vic (Katee Sackhoff), and Ferg (Adam Bartley) search for Branch and eventually find his body in a river, an apparent suicide, based on the angle of the shotgun.. Who does Cady Longmire marry? The first time we see the owl is in the pilot. 4:18 am. I was stunned by the anti-Vic wing. It seemed to have old Maybe? I think Branch shooting his dad sets up another season very well still lots to chase down, including how much Nighthorse knew. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the finale. Henry genuinely asks, Someone stole a corpse? Ferg comments, I know. 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? She caught Vic staying with Walt last season. I laughed at Walt & Henrys grave robbing antics and cried when Walt let Martha go. Was wondering what was in the jar that Henry picked up off of that Wall?! 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 have enjoyed reading the posts on this site this year, and thank you for providing an outlet for comments and opinions. 3:26 am. Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. That would be a sharp change of pace to make him a mayor or some other powerful nemesis. Bailey Chase, with his increasingly desperate, haunted face and those electric blue eyes has given Branch much substance behind the swagger. 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. "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. The kind of thing that just leaves you breathless. But then it can be fun to think it about it anyway. Its too darn good and too popular. Thats a little flip about mental illness so no offense to anyone. I have unfortunately read too many threads where if you didnt agree with the relationship or didnt particularly like the Vic characterization, you were termed as jealous or a hater. Season 3s Wanted Man featuring Peter Weller was one of the strongest episodes. The biggest mistake the producers made was dealing this to A&E. I think he paid to inflict pain on Walt. But that is about to change, and change drastically. Her reason for that was incredibly heartbreaking. better be.) Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. 2:13 pm, Jhera35 Keep it going!!!!!! What was Barlow talking to Jacob about on those survalience tapes? OK, Walt & Vic can get together as long as it is done well. August 5, 2014 @ Pretty sick, right? What a hoot (owl pun intended). Yes, fingers crossed for a season 4. 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. I kept watching the clock as the minutes were dwindling down, wondering what surprises were left in store. And I cant say enough praise for McRaneys acting. I dont want to see Branch turn into the nemisis of the Sheriffs department. Now, how long do we have to wait for season 4? Hopefull, if there is a S4, they can move forward much more freely.

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. It has been reported that A&E is contracturally obligated to make a renewal decision by August 31st. I did notice Cady eyeing them, when Vic naturally and caringly It can be very frustrating . But, damn, wasnt that a top season closer?! They recover the body, and Longmire gets to reach into the deceaseds seriously macabre-looking skeleton to pull out the featherthe main piece of evidence that finally clears Henry. But, perhaps, someone else has a better answer? Was it Henry? In the pilot was the owl Marthas spirit whose killer needed to be found and punished? Is Barlow that big a sleazeball? Even in Unquiet Mind I slapped my forehead and said of course the owl that leads Walt to the cabin that was essential for him to survive falling in a a river in winter on the mountain was Martha. August 5, 2014 @ Watched the last episdoe for season 3 and immediately jumped on this forum to see what all were thinking. Why did Barlow have Walt's wife killed?
