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. 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. What could they possibly have in common? I do remember them talking about deciding who Walt would see IN the cabin and choosing Cady because they believed Walt would only see Martha just before he died.

Not too many folks are that willing to catch up with a new show. 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. What I didnt see coming was Branchs father Barlow (Gerald McRaney) being the responsible party. Andrey is a coach, sports writer and editor. 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. The ONLY TV program I will go out of my way to watch period. I am pro- what I call The VicWaltship but not in any hurry. Walt lettting go of Martha was a great scene. Maybe the writers will take you up on that! We heard Barlows shot fired, but he missed Branch. You never saw Branch actually die. I do not have A&E as part of my limited satellite package (cutting costs) so I watched the first two seasons of Longmire by borrowing the DVDs from my public library. Barlow then revealed a knife and stabbed himself twice, further framing Walt for his murder right in front of him. Branch confronts Barlow and Barlow kills him, but makes it look like a suicide.

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. 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. DeMaris from Tillsonburg Ontario Canada. I dont think Jacob is squeaky clean either. I like a balance. I like your take on this even if it isnt what happened. But Vics Walt punched me leveled me. I never watch A&E anymore, other than The Glades and Longmire. Ive had the same problem with getting new people to get interested in Longmire, though, that [b]Dog[/b] expressed. 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. It took A&E until end of November to release their official renewal announcement. Is this correct? As to Branch and his dad. 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. If the show gets another season and the writers are going to put them together, they need to ease them into a relationship without any more over the top obstacles. He is the predecessor to Walt Longmire. This show always surprises me so I am certain that a Season 4 would continue that trend. Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. 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. This is a great cast. However, the writers need to be a bit more consistent as some of the story lines this year were a bit lamer than in the pasti.e., the murder in the pines. I know when Longmire was recommended to me (I started in the middle of S2), I had little idea as to the numerous sub-plots that seemed to actually dominate the heart beat of the story. 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. Why do we have until next year for season 4?

Dog stated: I loved how it tends to be fairly low key, relative to many other cop shows, and yet can still offer [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.

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. I simply dont watch television, with the exception of Monday nights. Lots more too about the Longmire books and TV show, glad I found it. My open question is why did both Henry and Walt go after Miller Beck before Ridges killed him? I really hope it comes back for many seasons to come and I want 26 episodes per season!

Though the way Barlow said I dont have time to make another fortune, Id have my doubts he killed himself. It would really be a shame if it is renewed. I had suspected Malachi (Graham Greene), and to a lesser degree Jacob Nighthorse, just as Longmire seemed to believe at the end of this episode. I didnt know the renewal of Longmire was an issue with A&E. What Walt does not realize is that Barlow Connally, who deeply resents Walt, made a $50,000 payment to Big Pine Timbers to pay for a hitman to kill Walt's wife, Martha. Everything is superb!

It might also gain him an offer to return as a Deputy, though I wonder whether hed take it. Im not a fan of the omminous grand story arc format.

I agree with those that have commented about how it might be hard to join Longmire as a viewer Season 3 and beyond because you dont know what is going on with the characters stories. We missed the last few minutes. Boom! Or you get the argument Its in the books, so it has to happen when the tv series had not strictly followed book canon. That would be a sharp change of pace to make him a mayor or some other powerful nemesis. However, once we got near the end of the episode, thats when some of our anxiety really started to settle in. I thought it was Hectors ashes, but could be the job jar. Were we getting closer to the moment? Id call this an A+ episode even though all the loose ends surrounding Marthas and Miller Becks deaths werent tied up well enough.

Fabulous scene-entering into the morgue, the silence prior to dropping off Branch, the looks between Vic, Ferg, and Ruby, the wonderment and humor of this finale (2 shovles? Both the Walt and Vic characters have been encumbered, by the writers, with way too much baggage. It was Branchs big redemption! Just want more Longmire. If the arc is well done, like Ridges, I dont mind. Any TV business experts around? I wish I knew more about the contractual relationship between Warner/Horizon and A&E.

Im sure I dont remember all the times we see in owl in Longmire episodes. Even Amazon who had season 1 VOD with a season pass when I asked about season 2 had no clue when/if season 2 would be available via their VOD. I dont think coming in on season 3 and being lost in the story arcs is unique to Longmire. I thought Walts spreading of Marthas ashes was very poignant. Stephanie Nolasco, Ashley Papa. When key players do the deed, it is often the demise of the show. Most of their encounters were too serious this season.

While trap shooting, Branch and Barlow discuss Nighthorse. It gave us everything we hoped for to see him no longer have to be on the run. A&E had a very good section on their website last year with detailed plot summaries, lists of cast members, including even the small roles, and information about the music chosen for episodes. I felt like it represented Marthas spirit somehow. Why did Barlow have Walt's wife killed? I didnt even realize there were people ranting about the Walt/Vic dynamics. Who knows what A&E will do?
