Why does Barlow kill branch? The sexual tension between Booth & Bones was great, having them marry was not. Its shame Longmire has no help from a lead in show. I think at the time Martha was killed, Branch was actually pretty close to Walt and Barlow was jealous of that. Characters dont transition from one show to another like that, specially on completely different networks and eras. Llyrjet I love that it can do case of the week episodes while still having small, multiple episode arcs, as well as season and series-long arcs. The whole Sean and Gorski story arcs were not needed. August 5, 2014 @ Ed, I neglected in my recent comment to thank you for the name of the music at the opening of Ashes. I like it when they use music to complement a scene, not as a substitute for dialogue or action. This is especially true of Henry Standing Bear. So I hope they keep it that way, a slow burn of some excellent character chemistry. 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. Looking forward to Season 4! Fabulous scene-entering-good dictation. While Branch and Barlow are trap shooting and talking about the business, Branch gets his father to admit his connections to Nighthorse.

Grainger, David Cranmer writes the continuing adventures of Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles. Hope for a season four! It would really be a shame if it is renewed. Remember when Walt told Barlow that he thought the shooter was getting back at Barlow through Branch? One episode ago, we didnt think this guy was actually going to be doing anything productive. 7:01 pm. A&E is not winning me over as a supporter. Great episode, great season! His little fit last week was overdue, IMO. I wont get into a debate why the ratings are down as there are so many factors impacting them and I dont think they are accurate in the first place. I like your Fales name observation and thank you for some very intriguing and fresh interpretations. It is unfortunate that the writers are unlikely to consider having Branch kicked off completely. The season finale was a great episode with my favorite line of the series: Walt punched me. Was it a salute to Joe Tuck, the driver who died, a toast to the season, a toast to the audience, a bit of all three? The Glades and Longmire were both on Sunday night for season 1 of Longmire. Vic too for that matter if the punch in the face was the best thing that happened to her all week. Sorry, this is terribly long but like everybody else Ashes to Ashes left me with so many thoughts and questions. Michael M. Robin is an executive producer on Longmire and also serves as executive producer on Dallas, The Closer, Major Crimes and as consulting producer on the first two seasons of Rizzoli & Isles. That is what drew me to the series: incredible writing and beautifully crafted, works-of-art level episodes that still haunt me like Dog Soldier. SunnyinFL Has the owl brought a message of peace for Walt from Marthaor has someone died? Zahn McClarnon does a very good job with that character. Some real big laughs in Ashes to Ashes.

S3 was too much serial story. of Marthas murderVics home problemsGorskiBecks murder then throw in Henry being chargedBranchs insanity..David Ridgesetc. 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? I think it was ridges. Especially if it goes long. In case you dont know already the people behind The Closer are the mostly the same people behind Longmire. Please dont be stupid. Another indication of people not liking storyline or direction ( not necessarily regarding Walt/Vic) is the decline in viewership. Why not kill Longmire himself? The Barlow twist definitely surprised me, but I still have a lot of questions about Nighthorse and how much he knew about Marthas death and the reason Barlow needed to hire Ridges. Was it a symbol that he was at risk of dying? 3:26 am. August 5, 2014 @ [FAQ] What happened to branch on longmire? Is Barlow that big a sleazeball? Well, friends, I have heard they cancelled Longmire. Not at this point.

While the battle of the ballot between Branch and Walt wasn't waged in this season finale of "Longmire" (Sun., 10 p.m. Good fare & the TV series does not really follow the books story lines, so its not redundant. I love both of them but had to get used to the people in the books not being the same as the people in the TV show. 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!. 10:30 pm.

I really dont care how Vic dresses; love Ruby and Lucian; and the Ferg is a hoot. My favorite part of the finale was the banter between, Vic, Walt and Bearmuch like the recurring theme in the books. I simply dont watch television, with the exception of Monday nights. They dont even respond on their various Facebook pages. He is also the editor/publisher of the BEAT to a PULP webzine and books. In a season of incredible performances from the whole cast, Robert Taylor delivered powerfully in the scene when Walt finally lets go of Martha. Not everyone has read the book series and what they know of the characters is from the tv series. Jum un Houston I have lost a lot of shows I like because of low ratings.

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. Aha! Ha! August 5, 2014 @ Im going to go out on a shaky limb and say that there is the possibility Branch and Barlow did not shoot at one another. But if he did, he died redeemed. Then in the Red Pony Henry says to Vic I think you are spending too much time with Walt you are picking up his speech patterns. Like something out of the J.K. Rowling school of character naming. A really good show and we would hate to see this series end. Announce a Season 4 and give us at least 12 episodes! 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. First, I liked the opening music to this episode. In the back of the sheriffs vehicle, David Ridges (David Midthunder) lies dead. I laughed at Walt & Henrys grave robbing antics and cried when Walt let Martha go.

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 Angry and spiteful at having lost to Walt, Barlow came up with one last plan. Ive enjoyed Season 3 but in a Season 4 I would like to see a return to more episodes that are less the serial drama aspect of Longmire and more procedure/crime. It is this unpredictability that contributes to the success of Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. 3:23 am. Randy, I played the scene several times to see if by the shotguns empty cartridge I could tell because there was red and a silver casings and they show that final spent shell. Never liked his fathers character. Loved how they tied up the Henry trial and Marthas murder, but left open ends for next season. The official moment he was free and the plan worked was beyond emotional. I also dont think Barlow paid anyone to kill Branch I think that was Nighthorse. 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. Barlow had Walt's wife killed because she was leading the charge against a proposed Casino in the county. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Well, Im afraid weve discovered the other side of that coin, as this weeks 10-year jump felt a bit too jarring. years(!) note(s) (requests) in it. Skyler nearly killed herself for walt's actions too. It was only five minutes before the end of the episode when this happened, and we were still confused but only briefly. Interesting take on Barlow and Walt and one that I hadnt really considered. Cady seemed wimpy to me this year, but in her defense, shes had a hard year. But, perhaps, someone else has a better answer? Awesome job on the finale. 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 . Walt is great and all the cast play great off each other. So Ifeel theres a very good chance. Of course, I was left asking: who set the wheels in motion for Miller Beck to kill Martha Longmire? 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. I read somewhere last year that they had come under new management. Anyone else, would have been perfect. She seemed to fall out of the picture with no exit plan. I mostly lurk here but have followed these recaps and enjoyed them very much. Also was intrigued about Henry taking the jar. 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. 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. One of only a handful of truly great drama and intelligent writing for adults. I initially thought he was comptemplating suicide but then figured that was just not his personality. The Real Housewives of Atlanta The Bachelor Sister Wives 90 Day Fiance Wife Swap The Amazing Race Australia Married at First Sight The Real Housewives of Dallas My 600-lb Life Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. 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. We missed the last few minutes. Perhaps as someone else mentioned he could be mayor or something. Though the way Barlow said I dont have time to make another fortune, Id have my doubts he killed himself. Ridges was paid $50,000 through Big Pine Timbers (which was associated with Nighthorse's casino). 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. Was it just a device to let us hear Marthas voice as Walt was going to spread her ashes or was there more significance? There are so many better story arcs for Henrys character. Is this correct? Also, thank you for stopping by. Weve waited for three seasons for Longmire to start to reveal who is responsible for killing Walts wife, and with that in mind, we had some very big expectations for the finale. Cheers for Season 4! I hope youre right, Victor. Keep it going!!!!!! Ive enjoyed reading everyones comments and you all have given me a lot to think about going forward to season 4. August 14, 2014 @ Thank you, Mr. Grainger for your wonderful posts! Lucian is eccentric crazy, a lot of fun, love the character but I worry a bit when he is carrying a gun. Those story arcs were part of the cause for so many Vic haters and strong feelings Walt and Vic should not get together. You saw Walt's reaction to hearing the gunfire, which proved that he is nearby and therefore capable of coming to the rescue. I thought it was Hectors ashes, but could be the job jar. Shareen Too many tv shows are lazy and predictable keeping on main characters that should be gone to shake up the show. Luckily, Walts daughter proved herself to be more than capable. Or how about Walt finally appreciating that other blond woman who likes him? I finally thought to Google longmire owl symbol and found a great article from June 4, 2012 interviewing Craig Johnson. Really enjoy all your comments! I hope that next year will continue the humor in the interactions with the main characters. I never watch A&E anymore, other than The Glades and Longmire. Walt is a native of Durant, Wyoming, the county seat of fictional Absaroka County, named after the real-life Absaroka Native Americans, the Absaroka Range, and the 1930s effort to declare a U.S. state called Absaroka out of three existing states. But the second I can think of now is in the episode Unquiet Mind as one of Walts visions on the mountain. He looked so out of place in his fathers office. Heres hoping Longmire returns for Season 4, because there are so many questions that still need to be answered. Plot [] Summary []. What happened to Jacob Nighthorse at the end of Longmire? Who is the father of Vic's baby on Longmire? I hope we hear by the end of August. August 5, 2014 @ IMO (2 cents), I think Barlow killed himself, In contrast to AETV, AMC has been running Hell on Wheels episodes from ALL the previous seasons continously prior to the new season starting. As to Branch and his dad. Look at Bones. The continuing arcs are what allow the writers to make the characters more interesting. I was confused about that point myself but thats a logical conclusion. The other thing I found interesting in this article was that at the time it was written there was talk about trying to cast Dog and finding it really difficult. If either he or Walt had killed Beck, the body would never have been found. He managed to reload his shotgun (or pull a concealed pistol), triggered the trap as a distraction, and turned to fire on Branch. A&E was never the right network for Longmire. I think Craig Johnson believes in the death symbolism because of a story he tells about seeing an owl before he heard that Tony Hillerman had died. The season finale was funny, exciting, and heartbreaking. About halfway through the episode, we started to feel like he was the guilty party. Did you hear his say that he cant make another fortune but he could make another son ? became too much for NEW viewers to overcome. Instead, we have the possibility of Branch actually being dead thanks to a carefully-executed move by his father, and of the entire department in shambles. I loved how it tends to be fairly low key, relative to many other cop shows, and yet can still offer Was it the unquiet spirit of the boy who was murdered whose killer Walt was pursuing? But it appeared Branch used both types. Im a late arrival and havent read most comments, but, to answer Edwards question as to why Ridges wanted to count Branchs coup, I think it was because Branch got nosy after Cadys car accident during the election. 3:26 am. Heck, its logging more viewers than many network shows. I didnt know the renewal of Longmire was an issue with A&E. I loved the finale but I hate the wait to find out what is next. Quite a artistic creation.

I knew enough to tell me I wasnt interested in a show about Zombies. August 5, 2014 @ I also wonder whether Walt receives this news in time to prevent him from killing Joseph Nighthorse. Why would Barlow go that route?

I doubt Barlow paid to have anyone killed to help Branch. they deserve to stay on for several more seasons. Great season finale! That moment gave us an idea of how much this character holds himself back emotionally, as have several other powerful eruptions of Storm Walt on Longmire (office wrecking!!). August 7, 2014 @ I am enjoying reading the comments here. We heard Barlows shot fired, but he missed Branch. Though the whole Barlow reveal is still soaking in with me. Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. I agree with most, that the Branch character works best as a deputy. Florida Gov. Excellent writing and acting. Henry genuinely asks, Someone stole a corpse? Ferg comments, I know. Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) finds Branch Connally (Bailey Chase) walking down the road, shotgun in hand. I agree with all of you. 13 August 2012. by Jason Hughes. BTW, as to Branch firing a warning shot Remember the Owl showed up the messenger of death. Maybe the writers will take you up on that! He was particularly angered by the drive-by shooting where Branch was hit by the supposed killer hired to eliminate Walt's wife. 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 hope they do surprise me! I have watched Longmire from the beginning of S1 and then I read the books. 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. What is it with these people? [b]samanthajane[/b], That was a nice touch with Vic taking care of Walts ear in the bar. What was it a symbol of there? Multiple reports claimed that Harry Styles, Elton John, Robbie Williams and the Spice Girls have all declined to perform at the coronation concert on May 7 on the grounds of Windsor Castle. Aha! He started asking about Ridges, once he put two-n-two together. August 5, 2014 @ Most of their encounters were too serious this season. The kind of thing that just leaves you breathless. What I didnt see coming was Branchs father Barlow (Gerald McRaney) being the responsible party. NEeds to be more episodes. LOVE THIS SHOW!! He has spent most of his time jumping to conclusions, excessively whining about doing his job, politicking, and getting into unnecessary conflicts with Walt. 4:18 am. wonderful season ender season 4 newel should really be a no brainer. 3:26 am. Nothing really happened between Vic and Walt. I think Barlow assumed the death would cripple Walt, who wouldnt run. 2:13 pm, Jhera35 Updated February 28, 2023 at 11:51 AM ET. Who called Walts home phone? 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. He expressed the dignified despair of Henry Standing Bear so beautifully. 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.
