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. 1 November 2022. Fales and his team find the teeth at Henry's bar and arrest him. [4] Warner Horizon Television offered it to other networks[5] and Netflix picked it up, starting with season four. I am enjoying reading the comments here. That might be some major competition for Longmire if Longmire stays on A&E at 10pm Monday. Has the owl brought a message of peace for Walt from Marthaor has someone died? Still, Longmire finds himself asking the former sheriff for help in tracking down leads that could exonerate Henry. Seasons 4-6 were picked up by Netflix. Season two began airing in Australia on July 31, 2013,[42] and in Italy on Rete 4 on July 4, 2013, at 9 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. [1] The series is based on the Walt Longmire Mysteries series of novels by Craig Johnson. This is especially true of Henry Standing Bear. I bet a lot of Longmire viewers watch Major Crimes. I really dont care how Vic dresses; love Ruby and Lucian; and the Ferg is a hoot. Im not sure that Walt and Vic are a done deal.

Until recently I assumed it was a given and Longmire was just working its way there nice and slow. I dont like the idea of Branch in any other job but with the sheriffs department. I cannot imagine Cady ever getting romantically involved with Branch again. A drunken Barlow Connolly confesses to killing Branch. Lucian is eccentric crazy, a lot of fun, love the character but I worry a bit when he is carrying a gun.

Filming of the interiors took place in New Mexico at Garson Studios, on the campus of Santa Fe University of Art and Design. Walt defends a wrongful-death suit; if he loses, he will lose everything he owns, and probably his job. And I can go either way on arcs versus standalones. Initially cancelled by A&E after its third season, the series was rescued by Netflix for a fourth season. I did like how it ended for Henry. Cady goes to Denver to speak to Detective Fales, who gives her the details of her mother's murder and informs her the suspected murderer has also been killed. But as we both stated all are entitled to their opinion. [28][citation needed], Production for the third season began in early 2014. Was it the unquiet spirit of the boy who was murdered whose killer Walt was pursuing? Another indication of people not liking storyline or direction ( not necessarily regarding Walt/Vic) is the decline in viewership. Really enjoy all your comments! Sorry for the length. I didnt know the renewal of Longmire was an issue with A&E. Shortly after, I laughed out loud when Vic and Longmire walk into the Red Pony and Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) asks what happened. Who knows what A&E will do? They have such great chemistry! See also. It may be its ultimate downfall which would be a shame. PBS is doing the same thing with the final three episodes of Poirot. Vic learns she is pregnant but is unsure if the father is her ex-boyfriend Eamonn (Josh Cooke) or Travis (Derek Phillips), Branch's childhood best friend with whom she had a drunken one-night stand. lou diamond is a good actor. This show always surprises me so I am certain that a Season 4 would continue that trend. I have removed A&E from my channel lineup. Walt's civil trial goes badly, but the shooting of Tucker (who is also the attorney for the plaintiff) further complicates matters as Walt is immediately under suspicion. Quailty program has become an endangered species. 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. Havent seen her lately . [67] Also in 2013, the series won the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum's Bronze Wrangler for Fictional Television Drama. Also Ive finally come to accept the Walt & Vic relationship. [b]samanthajane[/b], Branch has been mostly a terrible law enforcement officer since season one. I think Warner held firm. Its been a lot of fun reviewing the show each week and meeting so many other fans of the show. Quality programming takes yet another hit in favor of more trash TV. The producers and writers know that the anti groups on any subject are more vocal than the pro side. [b]emsA2 [/b]Appreciated your take on the VicWaltship. I totally agree. [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)] [/color][b]Dog[/b]/[b]emsA2[/b], I just read the interview where Craig Johnson says, Well, friends, I have heard they cancelled Longmire. [11] Walt investigates a bank robbery with some unusual aspects. [b]Penny[/b], Gotta say Id hate to see Branch gone. look at two n half men . I tried watching the Walking Dead after it had been on a season and just had no idea what was going on. Now knowing that Barlow had Martha killed to help elect Branch, uh, maybe theres something else we havent been told. Why did Henry take Hectors drop jar? Walt ends his relationship with Donna. Why did Henry take Hectors drop jar?. Im not a fan of the omminous grand story arc format. IMO, the writers gamble failed. Craigs latest book Any Other Name was so good with Vic getting the best of Lucian with her come backs and Walt watching it all unfold. I just love this series. But I wasn't disappointed with this PaulK, I feel after he spread Marthas ashes he was headed to confront Jacob Nighthorse. [6] Netflix released the sixth and final season on November 17, 2017. 2014 Counting Coup 8.9 (914) Rate Later, when Longmire and Henry lug Miller Becks coffin back to where David Ridgess body is being kept, they find out from Ferg that someone picked the lock and made off with Ridges. Which happens frequently in the real world. Episode Info. If the arc is well done, like Ridges, I dont mind. Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) finds Branch Connally (Bailey Chase) walking down the road, shotgun in hand. More please. thus setting Branch free to be his own man, thus creating another [33] The 10-episode fourth season filmed on location in New Mexico,[34] and was made available for viewing in North America and Oceania on September 10, 2015. Excellent comments ! Henry, meanwhile, takes up Hector's role as avenger. Heres hoping for season 4 !! I have a feeling Vics husband is not out of the picture yet. Sheriff Walt Longmire: Sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming. He releases her ashes onto the ground where he promised 'til death do us part years ago. Most of the posters here are way ahead of me in the nuances of this tv series. [29] The second season's finale honored them in the closing credits. But praying to the Corporate Gods cant hurt! He looked so out of place in his fathers office. They re-run the previous episode Sunday mornings/early afternoons? Glad you asked this? I wanted to make that clear. 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. . Maybe the writers will take you up on that! I dont think coming in on season 3 and being lost in the story arcs is unique to Longmire. [12] Chance (Peter Stormare) tells Vic where to find a murder weapon so that he can get the death sentence, but Vic gets assaulted recovering it. They dont even respond on their various Facebook pages. [39] Filming concluded the last week of June. I felt like he was at Hectors wall to honor him but then it seemed like more than just that when he took the jar. Very much appreciated. Although there was not any close interaction between Vic and Walt appropriately so it was really sweet to see Vic take care of Walts bloody ear in the bar What a total dirtbag Barlow turned out to be, not that we didnt think he was pretty slimy, but to turn against Branch like that pretty powerful! I didnt know Longmire existed until a few episodes in last season. 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. He was ultimately defeated in the (admittedly close) election, he lost by 17 votes. Cady is hospitalized after being hit by a car after hers is sabotaged. I suspect that growing the dislike of Vic in some people in the online fandom is because she got involved with a married man. I am surprise that Baldwin/Coveney and Greer Shepard and others didnt pitch Longmire to TNT as they served as executive producers/consulting producers on The Closer, Major Crimes, Rizzoli & Isles and Dallas. Hey that must be why they killed off the REALLY insubordinate male deputy. [48] The third season, including a bonus featurette, "The Ghost in the Storm", was released on March 3, 2015. [36] The studio work was completed at Garson Studios at Santa Fe University of Art and Design. In case you dont know already the people behind The Closer are the mostly the same people behind Longmire. 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. They run a marathon of the current season during the day on a Friday? [66] The season-two episode, "Party's Over", was nominated by the Entertainment Industries Council for a PRISM Award for Best Drama Series Episode Substance Use. Thanks; hope its a short hiatus. Walt hence refuses to rule Branch's death a suicide, and begins thinking that Nighthorse is behind the murder. [35] The Glades and Longmire were both on Sunday night for season 1 of Longmire. It seems too easy and common. Its the most important barometer a network uses to indicate popularity. Sheriff Walt Longmire: Thank God you're here! They only have three shows drawing any sizeable audience Longmire, Bates Hotel and DD (I have never watched either of the last two). [citation needed][37] The 10-episode fifth season was made available for viewing on September 23, 2016. Heres hoping Longmire returns for Season 4, because there are so many questions that still need to be answered. [b]shrummer[/b], I think that the writers were going for closure on Walts grief for his decesased wife in the finale. In a season of incredible performances from the whole cast, Robert Taylor delivered powerfully in the scene when Walt finally lets go of Martha. She added: "If it weren't for a few modern conveniences, like cellphones and trucks, it might as well be 1875, so rugged and unspoiled does the scenery look. 10 episodes is pretty good for a season. Since we were new to the series, we watched from the beginning and got hooked ! There seems to me to be too much left undone if Barlow is eliminated, the money trail needs both Jacob and Dad Connally before the court of law to sort Casino land interests (What Martha knew), gun for hires, shell corporations, and find the Malachi (furlow) dirty connectionpowerful positions must have been utilized. If Vic and Walt actually got romantic, the characters would seem more predictable than if Vic gets divorced and meets a new man. 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. Daddy Barlow was revealed to be full-on, evil crazy. I like your take on this even if it isnt what happened. Robin. In a heartfelt, moving scene, they move Hector . [b]shrummer[/b], Im sure some fans were disappointed but I like the natural way its developing and it would have been a bit much for Walt to say goodbye to Martha and getting together with Vic in the same show. Maybe Branch shot at the clay and missed. Great story, even with all the holes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the best of the Longmire storyline. . I concur everyone is entitled to their opinion. http://www.vibrantnation.com/other-topics/craig-johnson-the-man-behind-longmire/. 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. Barlow saw an opportunity and had him killed by Ridges. Walt lettting go of Martha was a great scene. He came away with something on his thumb. When Fales questions her, she says that her father confides in Henry Standing Bear, inadvertently giving Fales a new target of investigation. [b]My other thoughts: [/b] But that is about to change, and change drastically. The Closer and Major Crimes yes. note(s) (requests) in it. Does Henry ever get the red pony back? [30], On August 28, 2014, A&E announced that Longmire was cancelled after completing its third season, despite consistently strong viewership that made it "the most-watched original series in A&E history, packing almost 6 million viewers" per episode,[31] "reportedly because it appealed to an older demographic that was unappealing to advertisers"[32] and was produced by an external studio. [31], Three months later, Netflix confirmed that it had picked up the series (based, in contrast to A&E, on its strong appeal to a specific segment of the audience[31]) and would film additional episodes. You can tell a man by the company he keeps, as the saying goes. Three fires started over a three-week period, two at the same time. Heck, its logging more viewers than many network shows. Season 4? More questions in the air. Not everyone has read the book series and what they know of the characters is from the tv series. A future possibility of a relationship with Vic is suggested as they acknowledge their feelings toward each other. In the TV series, hes Henry and LDP does a very good job with his character. Strand believes Henry contributed to his arrest through his friendship with Walt. For me it was also one of best Oh my! I laughed at Walt & Henrys grave robbing antics and cried when Walt let Martha go. I am pro- what I call The VicWaltship but not in any hurry. 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. Longmire airs tonight on A&E with another episode of season 3. . 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. When Nighthorse rambles on about how hes tired of constantly being scrutinized, he crosses the line by invoking Longmires late wifes name. Cady clearly saw more than the wound. They also are weak in their other programming and it seems generally incompatible with the Longmire viewer type so they are unlikely to stumble upon it. Maybe? In Branchs tired, vacant stare at his would-be assassin, theres a mixture of disbelief that his ordeal is finally over, perhaps, wondering if, even now, the corpse wont come back alive for one more encounter. Nicely said, Virginia! 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? Not only did Barlow funnel money through Nighthorse to support Branchs campaign for Sheriff, he also made a significant payment made to Nighthorses business the week that Martha was killeda payment intended for a soldier, with no questions asked. Its too darn good and too popular. Thats true of most of the top TV shows though. became too much for NEW viewers to overcome. I just think the writers wont get it right and ruin the whole. In case one breaks) Henrys joyous head through the open window ride . As Branch recovers from being shot, he comes to believe he was shot by David Ridges (David Midthunder), a Cheyenne who was thought to have committed suicide and been cremated. I like Longmire, but it would much be better with more daring writing and less predictable plots. I like syfy but this is better than the walking dead. #Longmire will return to Netflix for a new season", "New Mexico-filmed 'Longmire' to begin season 5 production", "Netflix's 'Longmire' to shoot season 6 in New Mexico", "TCM Acquires UK Rights To A&E's 'Longmire', "Rete4, al via "Longmire" in prima tv assoluta", "TCM Sets UK Premiere Date For 'Longmire' Season 6", "APTN Introduces Brand New Network and World Premieres to Its Winter Prime Time Lineup", "LongmireWarner's Formal Press Release for 'The Complete 1st Season', "LongmireStreet Date, Cover Art, Pricing and More for 'The Complete 4th Season', "Longmire: The Complete Series is releasing in a 21-Disc Blu-ray Set", "A&E's 'Longmire' Debuts as the Network's #1 Original Series Premiere with 4.1 Million Viewers + 'The Glades'Ratings", "Sunday Cable Ratings: NBA Playoffs + 'Game of Thrones' Finale, MTV Movie Awards, 'Sister Wives', 'The Glades', 'Longmire' + More", "Sunday Cable Ratings: 'True Blood' Beats 'Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne' + 'Falling Skies', NASCAR, 'Army Wives' & More", "Monday Cable Ratings:NBA Playoffs Win Night, 'WWE Raw', 'Love & Hip Hop', 'Longmire', 'Hit the Floor', 'The Glades' & More", "Monday Cable Ratings: 'WWE Raw' Wins Night + 'Teen Mom', 'Real Housewives of Orange County', 'Basketball Wives', 'TI & Tiny' & More", "Monday Cable Ratings: 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' Wins Night + 'Monday Night RAW', 'Hit the Floor', 'Swamp People' & More", "Monday Cable Ratings: 'WWE Raw' Wins Night, 'Street Outlaws', 'Hit The Floor', 'Major Crimes', 'Teen Wolf' & More", "Review: Mystery goes to Wyoming in A&E's 'Longmire', "Longmire Confidently Returns on Netflix", "Mystery Writers of America Announce 2013 Edgar Award Nominations", "EIC Announces Nominations For 18th Annual PRISM Awards- Nods for Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Oprah, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Edie Falco, Allison Janney, LL Cool J, Jewel", "National Cowboy Museum Announces 52nd Anniversary Western Heritage Award Winners", "Makeup Artists and Hairstylist Guild Awards Nominations Announced", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Longmire_(TV_series)&oldid=1144612572, Louanne Stephens as Ruby dispatcher and manager of the sheriff's office, John Bishop as Bob Barnes the town drunk who has worked a variety of odd jobs. Unless they did pitch to TNT and were rejected. 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. In finding Chance Vic gets shot, and loses the baby.
