I also dont think Barlow paid anyone to kill Branch I think that was Nighthorse. A&E wanted a larger profit share. Im a latecomer to posting comments but Ive enjoyed reading the recaps and viewers comments. If you wanted to promote Longmire to others in prep for season 2 your hands were tied unless you DVRd it and had people over. If Vic and Walt actually got romantic, the characters would seem more predictable than if Vic gets divorced and meets a new man. 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. We just started watching Longmire this year, this past May. Favorite line remains, If you do the job right, Walt, by the time you put down your sheriffs badge, youre a wanted man. There did not seem time for this without Branch taking some kind of action. 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. He is also the editor/publisher of the BEAT to a PULP webzine and books. In the back of the sheriffs vehicle, David Ridges (David Midthunder) lies dead. Kodi2k6 I thought it was Hectors ashes, but could be the job jar. Really enjoyed the humorous banter between Walt/Henry and Vic/Henry. I think he may have done this in hopes of keeping Walt from getting closure and keeping him off balance. Not too many folks are that willing to catch up with a new show. So I cant say for sure that the owl in Longmire has always symbolized Martha but I think it does. Is David ridges alive Longmire? I loved how it tends to be fairly low key, relative to many other cop shows, and yet can still offer Great writing! What could they possibly have in common? Jum un Houston I cant see that person living in the half finished cabin or driving that Casi-NO bumper-stickered car. I doubt Barlow paid to have anyone killed to help Branch. I mean it was a continuing success for A&E even with a dip in the third season. In case one breaks) Henrys joyous head through the open window ride . Instead we get the same cliffhanger of Branch in danger as last season. Awesome job on the finale. As to Branch and his dad. Fabulous scene-entering-good dictation. I hope we hear by the end of August. Glad you asked this? Heck, its logging more viewers than many network shows. 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. 5:52 am. I really dont want to see Walt & Vic in a relationship. Or you get the argument Its in the books, so it has to happen when the tv series had not strictly followed book canon. 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. 5:57 am. All the tributes proved just how many people Hector had helped and how much he was missed. 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. 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 I think Walt looked at that owl at the end of Ashes to Ashes with surprise and wondered why are you here when I just laid you to rest? I was honestly surprised to read this There is even an owl handler on the first set. This season has really kept my interest and the cliffhanger of who survives the Branch/Barlow shootout has me waiting for next season even more than the who shot JR one on the original Dallas!. Especially if it goes long. . There are so many better story arcs for Henrys character. Not surprisingly, the fracas brought an end a temporary one, we can only hope to their friendship, just at a time when Walt might need all the friends he can get. And doesnt it seem rather misplaced for Barlow to kill Longmires wifewhy would he think that would get his son into the sheriffs office? 3:26 am. I knew enough to tell me I wasnt interested in a show about Zombies. Hope for another season where we can find out. But the second I can think of now is in the episode Unquiet Mind as one of Walts visions on the mountain. 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. The part when Walt was spreading his wifes ashes was so sad. I imagine her as a very smart and independent woman who called Walt on his sh$t (maybe even used a curse word sometimes, not as much as Vic of course), kept him in line when he needed it, loved and supported him yes but also fought against the casino even when it might have made his job difficult. He started asking about Ridges, once he put two-n-two together. When someone takes a couple of shots at Nighthorse's house, Vic fears Walt may have been the shooter. Im sad to read sometimes that there are Longmire viewers who really dislike Vic, I LOVE her character, flaws and all. First, I liked the opening music to this episode. He managed to reload his shotgun (or pull a concealed pistol), triggered the trap as a distraction, and turned to fire on Branch. Why does Barlow kill branch? Sorry for the length. Rather than try to hit all the plot points, here are some of the highlights I enjoyed, and I hope you will add your favorite moments in the comments. I feel like there is too much unresolved with Malachi and Nighthorse and more for us to discover there but I dont think Nighthorse intended for Walts wife to be murdered. Pretty sick, right? What a hoot (owl pun intended). Its the embodiment of Martha, the symbolism for her. That was written when seven episodes of season 1 had been filmed. Watched the last episdoe for season 3 and immediately jumped on this forum to see what all were thinking. I think Warner Horizon produces Dallas and Rizzoli and Isles but dont think Shepard/Robin/Baldwin/Coveny are invovled. About halfway through the episode, we started to feel like he was the guilty party. I was stunned by the anti-Vic wing. It gave us everything we hoped for to see him no longer have to be on the run. Et on A&E), the case of Walt's dead wife came back into the show in a big way. The continuation for three I didnt know the renewal of Longmire was an issue with A&E. 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. . [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. That was my conclusion also. Never liked his fathers character. Ive enjoyed the weekly re-caps, as there is always some little gem that I missed while watching. But if he did, he died redeemed. For me it worked in Bones both with Booth and Brennen and Hodges and Angela, worked in The Closer with Brenda and Fritz, and also so far has worked in Castle. Great story, even with all the holes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the best of the Longmire storyline. Ashes to Ashes wrapped up a couple more of the main arcs and ended with a riveting season finale that was quite satisfying for this Longmire fan. Walt refutes this, however, saying that he has never loved. Heres hoping for season 4 !! 2:11 pm. Great episode tonight!!! What happened to Jacob Nighthorse at the end of Longmire? What did you think about the Longmire finale, and were the reveals everything that you expected and then some? Do they have to pay Warner Horizon Televison everytime they show an episode and it costs double during prime-time or something? 2:11 am. I dont have a Kindle (or any tablet/e-reader) yet, so Ive been getting them out of the library. 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. 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. Barlow had a shotgun and to use this to shoot Branch he would have to standup and turn around. Everyone on this show makes the most of their screen time. My guess is yes. I dont like the idea of Branch in any other job but with the sheriffs department. He has spent most of his time jumping to conclusions, excessively whining about doing his job, politicking, and getting into unnecessary conflicts with Walt. Very moody and evocative musical selections on this program. Another controversy involving Branch was the killing of Walt's wife. 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. [FAQ] What happened to branch on longmire? How many times was it that hank nearly got killed or could've ended up being on a wheelchair possibly for his entire life bcz of Walt.
