The rapport between these two law enforcers is particularly engaging and entertaining. [b]emsA2[/b], incessant wind of the high plains and the loneliness. Thats a thought-provoking tidbit that Ive never heard. Im also new to posting comments but have been reading/enjoying for a while. I hope youre right, Victor. Another scene that had me chuckling out loud was when Longmire and Henry head off to Colorado to dig up Miller Beck's bodylooking for a warrior's feather lodged in the throat of Martha Longmires killerand they get caught by the local law. Season 3s Wanted Man featuring Peter Weller was one of the strongest episodes. Walt sometimes demonstrates a big brotherly affinity for Bob by chastising him when he falls off the wagon but also by helping him when possible, including getting Bob a job at the local florist shop, Arron Shiver as Billy Barnes (seasons 12, 5) Bob's son, Jeffrey De Serrano as Hector (seasons 13, 6) Cheyenne ex-boxer who lives on the reservation, is a mercenary-for-hire and vigilante for Cheyenne people who seek justice, David Midthunder as David Ridges (seasons 23) a Cheyenne man who shoots Branch and becomes a fugitive, Ralph Alderman as Judge Joseph Mayhew (seasons 36) the judge presiding over the trials of Henry Standing Bear and Chance Gilbert, T.J. Alvarado as Dillon (seasons 35) the doctor at the reservation clinic, Joseph Daniel Havenstar as Darius Burns (seasons 3-6) Malachi Strand's right-hand man, Tamara Duarte as Mandy Plitt (seasons 46) a young Cheyenne woman hired by Cady Longmire to assist her in the legal-aid office on the Cheyenne reservation, Stephen Louis Grush as Monte Ford (seasons 45) a young man who applies to be a sheriffs deputy. I enjoy watching Law and Order and Criminal Minds but the characters are more one-dimensional than Longmire while the crime-of-the-week dominates. [48] The third season, including a bonus featurette, "The Ghost in the Storm", was released on March 3, 2015. For 23 weeks, fans stormed social media in a cohesive manner, spreading the same message. I like snowdogmoms answer to why Henry took Hectors jar. Was it concrete or cement rather than paint? [24], On August 26, 2011, A&E picked up the series for a 10-episode first season. 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. Walt and Vic will ruin a perfect working relationship if they move to a personal relationship. Fales tells Walt they found the murder suspect buried in a shallow grave. In the back of the sheriff's vehicle, David Ridges (David Midthunder) lies dead. I did like the comment about it being the best thing that happened. @Kay Vics character was most definitely not on 24. The for group can also rant, just not as loudly. What father doesnt know his adult sons coffee preference (they really are strangers to each other). I myself didnt like the Gorski storyline. Was someone trying to get ahold of Walt? Isnt that what Netflix, etc. As you say a lot of comments are constructive criticism. Plus TNT would actually promote Longmire. The cliffhanger left millions of fans breathless, and is one reason fans rallied with the Longmire Posse to help find the show a new home after the former network abruptly canceled it. Yes, fingers crossed for a season 4. David later assaults and shoots Branch Connally, after the deputy tries to investigate the faking of Ridges' death on sacred land, dressed as a Dog Soldier. [url=http://deadline.com/2014/08/longmire-cancelled-by-ae-will-be-shopped-elsewhere-826379/]http://deadline.com/2014/08/longmire-cancelled-by-ae-will-be-shopped-elsewhere-826379/[/url]. Or Branch just grabbed and deflected the shotgun. That character added tons this season but Im with you on Henry, Vic, and Walt interacting more. This is the first time in three seasons that that has happened. Longmire gets better ratings than both. Both Branch and Henry uncover clues that point to Nighthorse's being involved in their cases, with Ridges as a key figure. The interplay between Henry and Walt is very true to Mr. Johnsons books. In the books, he is The Bear and I dont think that any of this seasons troubles would have happened to him! 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. He really has the upper edge even though he was distracted. Branch questions his father, who admits to having paid Nighthorse to hire Ridges to kill Walt's wife in hopes of helping Branch become sheriff. It seemed to have old [65], In 2013, the pilot episode of Longmire, whose teleplay was written by Hunt Baldwin and John Coveny, was nominated for an Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America. It's a slow process, allowing viewers into his mind bit by bit and piece by piece. 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. Im not a fan of the omminous grand story arc format. OFFICIAL RULES: Past and Future Sweepstakes Now Win This ! Favorite line remains, If you do the job right, Walt, by the time you put down your sheriffs badge, youre a wanted man. [52], In its first season, Nancy DeWolf Smith of The Wall Street Journal called the series "the best of two worlds: a modern crime drama with dry wit and sometimes heart-wrenching emotion that's also got a glorious setting under the big sky of Wyoming [sic: Longmire was filmed in New Mexico]." So I hope they keep it that way, a slow burn of some excellent character chemistry. I didnt know Longmire existed until a few episodes in last season. 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. In case you dont know already the people behind The Closer are the mostly the same people behind Longmire. More questions in the air. His line that son of a bitch Walt Longmire sounded like he has a deep hatred for him. In Ashes to Ashes does the owl symbolize that Marthas spirit is still unquiet, that Longmire doesnt have it all figured out as completely as he thinks he does and is on the wrong track going after Nighthorse with a vengeance he feels Martha will need to forgive him of? He begins to believe that Branch is obsessed by his ideas about Ridges and suspends him temporarily, putting him in the care of his father Barlow (Gerald McRaney). I recall, Jacob thinking aloud that Branch had become more like Walt than he (Branch) realized. Walt finds soil in the shotgun shell, implying that the shell had been ejected after firing and replaced in the gun. they deserve to stay on for several more seasons. IMO, the writers gamble failed. son, not created in his fathers image.. This show always surprises me so I am certain that a Season 4 would continue that trend. Henry tells Walt that he killed the murderer because Walt was unable to do so. Season 4? Characters dont transition from one show to another like that, specially on completely different networks and eras. I thoroughly enjoyed the finale even though the conspiracy about Marthas murder had holes large enough to drive a truck through. I have lost a lot of shows I like because of low ratings. Does Henry ever get the red pony back? If either he or Walt had killed Beck, the body would never have been found. The fourth season was released on September 16, 2016, in a three-disc, 10-episode set. (The Indian reservation has its own police force, which has authority within the reservation boundaries, except for capital crimes.) [35] I will say a prayer to the Corporate Gods tonight that they see their way to continuing this good show and if not, Ive got a feather for them. I dont want to jinx it but I cant see why another network wouldnt pick the show up. David Midthunder as David Ridges a Cheyenne man who shoots Branch and becomes a fugitive (seasons 2-3). "[63] At the same point in the series, Mike Hale of The New York Times also filed a favorable review, with particular praise for actor Robert Taylor, described as a "modern-day Gary Cooper or Joel McCrea". Ridges himself was hired for the job before outsourcing it to Beck as a kill screen and to provide insulation to the crime for himself and his employer. Inside, Longmire commands Ferg (Adam Bartley) to clean out Branchs desk and take the man his belongings while the sheriff and Vic Moretti (Katee Sackhoff) set out to arrest Jacob Nighthorse. In that case, Branch would have been a shoe-in. Walt is great and all the cast play great off each other. I need to go back and look at it to see if they talked about the owl but maybe not because it is not a vision. Fair or not. He is said to commit many crimes by Mathias, who is never able to keep him as long as he wants to. Its shame Longmire has no help from a lead in show. : Was it just a device to let us hear Marthas voice as Walt was going to spread her ashes or was there more significance? 1 November 2022. He is said to commit many crimes by Mathias, who is never able to keep him as long as he wants to. He added: "Unassuming Longmire doesn't shout 'Love Me!' Other locations included towns in the surrounding area. Branch will make a comeback in one form or another, and I do not believe this show will be cancelled, moved to another network perhaps, but A&E needs this show. So thats why (in terms of story justice) Longmire got to shoot Ridges himself, even though he doesnt yet know that it was Ridges who killed Miller Beck. Longmire picks up the lone wolf who has been out in the cold for a majority of this season, desperately trying to convince anyone whod listen that the White Warrior was alive. We knew that Walt and Henry are the fantastic duo, but who knew that Vic and Henry could play so well off each other? Branchs true calling strikes me as a politician not a lawman. Look at Bones. 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. [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. Walt hence refuses to rule Branch's death a suicide, and begins thinking that Nighthorse is behind the murder. Full Cast and Crew . Simply superb. He is also the editor/publisher of the BEAT to a PULP webzine and books. A go-between named David Ridges hired Miller Beck to kill Martha Longmire. All the new summer offerings from all the networks have been a big disappointment. 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. I really dont want to see Walt & Vic in a relationship. Henry genuinely asks, Someone stole a corpse? Ferg comments, I know. Walt and Henry learn that Ridges killed Miller Beck. Sam Poteet and a group of Cheyenne folks dressed as white warriors take Ridge's corpse to perform a burial but are stopped by Walt. He later found dead and hoisted into Walt Longmire's Bronco and taken to the Morgue. [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. This was the last episode aired on A&E. [b]samanthajane[/b], Branch has been mostly a terrible law enforcement officer since season one. I laughed at Walt & Henrys grave robbing antics and cried when Walt let Martha go. I think what Henry said to Branch about returning to his job under Walt after he lost the election has a much deeper meaning now. Unless he felt it was so urgent he wouldnt get there fast enough or he was driving somewhere else but needed to tell Walt why? Denver Police Homicide Detective Fales (Charles S. Dutton) later comes to Wyoming to talk to Walt and Cady about Cady's mother's death. Is this correct? 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. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Thanks so much for joining us! He is also the editor/publisher of the BEAT to a PULP webzine and books. I just dont see Branch getting into big business, he seems to really love law enforcement and digging into the truth of crimes, even if that truth exposed his father. Well, Im afraid weve discovered the other side of that coin, as this weeks 10-year jump felt a bit too jarring. I mean it was a continuing success for A&E even with a dip in the third season. Then he begins the trek back up the cliff with her. I dont think Hector would have kept old notes around. Warner actually films the show and sells it to A&E, as I understand it. This is a great cast. [28][citation needed], Production for the third season began in early 2014. Very much appreciated. The humorous scenes between Walt and Henry were indeed a welcomed return. Ratings are a fact of life. His little fit last week was overdue, IMO. Elementary has a good song selection, too. Cop: We got a call from a monitoring company. Now, how long do we have to wait for season 4? Their feelings regarding certain characters may be justified. I knew enough to tell me I wasnt interested in a show about Zombies. If the finale is an indication I think the writers will develop the Walt/Vic relationship slowly and do it right, it will work, and not be the typical main characters getting together to the detriment of the show. It took place primarily in Las Vegas, New Mexico, the town shown in the series. If you tried to ask about the season 1 DVD or when it would show up on Netflix you got no answers and Netflix hadnt even heard about it. Thank you for the kind words, [b]egmiller[/b]! Was it a symbol that he was at risk of dying? [b]CarolK[/b], Im not exactly sure about the moment when Branch stood in front of the mirror with what Im assuming was war paint. I did notice Cady eyeing them, when Vic naturally and caringly Heres hoping Longmire returns for Season 4, because there are so many questions that still need to be answered. In the opening scene, Longmire hunts down Branch Connally (Bailey Chase) in the woods. I agree with most, that the Branch character works best as a deputy. 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. 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. [b]Penny[/b], I also dont see Cady backtracking with Branch. Meanwhile, Branch is curious about a possible relationship between his father and Jacob Nighthorse.After killing David Ridges, sheriff Longmire uncovers a clue that could prove that Ridges killed Miller Beck. I just love this series. Heres my off the wall suggestion: this show needs a Clydesdale advertisement to demonstrate strength and determination right along side beauty and gentleness. In random flashback scenes, Walt and Henry travel separately to Denver, Colorado, where Walt attacks someone in a meth house. I was honestly surprised to read this There is even an owl handler on the first set. Im not sure how the Longmire writers see the symbolism and I hesitate to try to look for anything more complicated in it than that simple message of a death. It is unfortunate that the writers are unlikely to consider having Branch kicked off completely. Henry gets released on bail and sets out to prove his innocence. I have a feeling Vics husband is not out of the picture yet. Its a writing tactic that allows the audience understanding of the plot point. Hopefull, if there is a S4, they can move forward much more freely. Really enjoy all your comments! What I have missed this year is the interaction with the Rez, especially Mathias. .
