why did barlow kill walt's wife

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. Too many tv shows are lazy and predictable keeping on main characters that should be gone to shake up the show. Of course he has some serious apologizing to Vic. lou diamond is a good actor. 5:59 am. Branchs true calling strikes me as a politician not a lawman. 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. But Vics Walt punched me leveled me. It works in the books and it took Craig about four books/four years to get there. DrewOFB, A very quick check says the song was Lawdy by The Vespers. I think Henry will start doing what Hector would do because of the guilt he feels about Hectors death, Kate11208 A rifle was fired but that does not mean someone was killed but that scene was quite powerful regardless. I think Walts wife had a crusade to keep a casino from being built on the reservation. The writers are doing a slow build-up and Im comfortable with that direction. 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. It may be its ultimate downfall which would be a shame. Fabulous scene-entering-good dictation. Walt Longmire's fictional biography. I finally thought to Google longmire owl symbol and found a great article from June 4, 2012 interviewing Craig Johnson. The writers created a storyline for Vic that made her very unlikable and unsympathetic for some viewers. The season wrapped up the David Ridges storyline, as well as Vics stalker situation and Henry Standing Bears plight. IMO she has developed a drinking problem after finding out her mother was murdered. Futhermore, I feel that Walts wife was robbed my a meth-head and accidently killed. Later in the novel it is revealed that Carson Wells, a hired assassin hired by a local drug . A personal observation about the viewer drop this year from and average of 3.7 (S2) to 3.5(S3). First, can you tell us a little about your new series, Crossfire, on Britbox? 4:36 pm. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the finale. [b]PerilPress[/b], Ive always liked Gerald McRaney going way back to Simon & Simon and Im kinda hoping hes not mortally wounded and sticks around a little more to add spice to these exceptional storylines. Barlow saw an opportunity and had him killed by Ridges. [b]samanthajane[/b], Branch has been mostly a terrible law enforcement officer since season one. Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. Simply superb. However, I think TNT is planning another Major Crimes spinoff with Jon Tenney (Fritz) as head of LAPD Special Ops after retiring from the FBI and I bet they slot that after Major Crimes. Great end to the season! fantastic drama, pulse-pounding action and emotional catharsis. But I would record the Jon Tenney spinoff and still watch Longmire. 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 It would add more drama. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. this show has been great and has kept you interested with each show. Could have been nothing, might have been something, thats what I like about this show. That might be some major competition for Longmire if Longmire stays on A&E at 10pm Monday. That seems to be who the character is to me and I feel like he is lost without it. Id call this an A+ episode even though all the loose ends surrounding Marthas and Miller Becks deaths werent tied up well enough. Penny I agree with you that Branch taking up his fathers company would be an interesting storyline if he doesnt get back to being a deputy. In " Breaking Bad ," Walter White 's descent from mild-mannered family man to murderous meth kingpin . 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. I watched unlocked Season 3 episodes as part of A&E channel on my Roku. He had no idea about Barlow being involved. But, damn, wasnt that a top season closer?! I think Branch shooting his dad sets up another season very well still lots to chase down, including how much Nighthorse knew. I really dont care how Vic dresses; love Ruby and Lucian; and the Ferg is a hoot. Its a writing tactic that allows the audience understanding of the plot point. My open question is why did both Henry and Walt go after Miller Beck before Ridges killed him? My favorite part of the finale was the banter between, Vic, Walt and Bearmuch like the recurring theme in the books. I so love longmire and hope they keep this t.v show going. 7:20 pm. 2:11 am. Longmire is the best show on tv PERIOD! Teens Break-in to House to Bake Marijuana Brownies. I read somewhere last year that they had come under new management. When key players do the deed, it is often the demise of the show. Walt says, The usual, and Vic says, Walt punched me. Just another day at the office. 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. She placed the weapon to her head, crying, trembling, preparing to alleviate her tortured mind. Additionally, why not take out Walt? Why did Henry take Hectors drop jar? Most of the posters here are way ahead of me in the nuances of this tv series. 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. Whatever happen to the lady that had the hots for Walt? Ive always been a little hazy as to why Ridges went after Branch. The dying Barlow laughed, making Longmire realize the gun was empty. And I can go either way on arcs versus standalones. Spot on acting from Robert Taylor and the direction was pitch perfect. I hope youre right, Victor. Was it concrete or cement rather than paint? Douglas Henning This is where Barlow Connally entered the picture. What I have missed this year is the interaction with the Rez, especially Mathias. First, Id like to raise. They run a marathon of the current season during the day on a Friday? I cant wait for Season 4. And her worst suspicions appear to be confirmed when she finds an empty beer can Rainier . I dont think coming in on season 3 and being lost in the story arcs is unique to Longmire. Great story, even with all the holes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the best of the Longmire storyline. 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. But as we both stated all are entitled to their opinion. It packed a wallop of an emotional punch for Longmire viewers from Henry being freed to Walts farewell to Martha to the Connally father and son confrontation. Walt is great and all the cast play great off each other. The only real exception is if this ending is set up thanks to a contract dispute . August 5, 2014 @ Branch confronts Barlow and Barlow kills him, but makes it look like a suicide. This show always surprises me so I am certain that a Season 4 would continue that trend. August 5, 2014 @ 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. . All the families are separated in different, Nothing brings people together like a funeral, so special shout-out to Laena Velaryon for giving us the spectacle that was Driftmark. With every major player in attendance, we were treated to an episode filled with everything from subtle power dynamics to full-blown attempted murder. Very much appreciated. Lou Diamond Phillips is the epitome of elegance and eloquence. Didnt care for her part then, and dont now. http://www.vibrantnation.com/other-topics/craig-johnson-the-man-behind-longmire/. August 5, 2014 @ They have nothing worth watching. Intent doesnt equal success. The vast majority of the time, this sort of thing in a finale leads to them finding a way to survive. August 5, 2014 @ I will say that the very reason that you want to keep Branch is exactly why he should be killed off or sent away. I think the jar of notes were NEW requests since Hector passed. Great writing! But praying to the Corporate Gods cant hurt! You saw Walt's reaction to hearing the gunfire, which proved that he is nearby and therefore capable of coming to the rescue. It is unfortunate that the writers are unlikely to consider having Branch kicked off completely. The only reason I watch A&E is to watch Longmire. Jeffrey [b]Edward[/b], I meant Branch no longer in the Sheriffs office, but remaining on the show as Walts nemesis as mayor or running his fathers company. Unless there is something business wise (contract negotiations going on?) I am sure if the show is renewed that the writers will be going full steam ahead with Walt and Vics romance. Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship in California and Hawaii has been preaching and inspiring others to become closer to God for decades. They were working out contract details that whole time. I agree with most, that the Branch character works best as a deputy. I think the writers might go in a different direction than killing one of them off. This is especially true of Henry Standing Bear. But there is clearly a strong strain of it in the Connally family. Let us know in the comments below. . In a way, hes a lot like Walt in that he just wouldnt be comfortable with the dirty dealings of his fathers business. It had to be done before anything romantic could happen with Vic. So, we wait and see if A&E is really about ENTERTAINMENT and renews Longmire. A&E was never the right network for Longmire. 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!. Was someone trying to get ahold of Walt? They dont even respond on their various Facebook pages. 4:50 pm. . 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. Billy Rayburn In the books, he is The Bear and I dont think that any of this seasons troubles would have happened to him! I laughed at Walt & Henrys grave robbing antics and cried when Walt let Martha go. Longmire gets better ratings than both. But then I have never seen Martha as some sweet little wife who just waved Walt off in the morning with a take care of yourself dear and went back in the house to bake a pie and do some knitting while she waited for him to come home in the evening with his supper ready for him. Who is the father of Vic's baby on Longmire? Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. As it turned out, Beck was hired to kill Martha by a go-between named David Ridges, who himself was secretly working for greedy Wyoming land developer Barlow Connally. I noticed the writers tried to fix that by claiming that Vic did not know he was married, but by then of course, it was too little, too late. It would be the same with a lot of other shows, coming in after several seasons. It was only five minutes before the end of the episode when this happened, and we were still confused but only briefly. Please bring the Longmire BACK even if it re runs. 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. Kalalau Boom! I only wish they would warn you that the episode is going long. And thank you for the compliment. 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. Though the way Barlow said I dont have time to make another fortune, Id have my doubts he killed himself. Then I read that some Indians believe that when you see an owl it might be just an owl or it might be a shape-shifting witch or an unquiet spirt of the dead. Unquiet spirit of the dead resonated with me. Now knowing that Barlow had Martha killed to help elect Branch, uh, maybe theres something else we havent been told. [b]bitsyo8[/b], Regardless of a season four Im almost positive that Longmire and these actors will be returning in one form or another. Ive enjoyed the music throughout this season and find myself adding them to my playlist. Luckily, Walt's daughter proved herself to be more than capable. He really has the upper edge even though he was distracted. I think Henry took the jar with requests for Hectors services because he is going to take over the role of providing justice to the Cheyenne when they cant get it anyplace else. It seems too easy and common. Heres hoping. I really hope it comes back for many seasons to come and I want 26 episodes per season! 3:35 am, I believe that was how hector would get hisjobs. There did not seem time for this without Branch taking some kind of action. I was stunned by the anti-Vic wing. 3:19 am, All content copyright 2011-2022 CarterMatt.com, This site uses cookies to track and store data. 6:41 am. Too bad more fans of TV crime dramas havent found it yet. I think Warner held firm. Arcs settled. No words needed. 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. I cant help but wonder what effect Malachis return will have on both Mathias and the Rez next year (and there will be a NEXT year on some network! Stephanie Nolasco, Ashley Papa. I am pro- what I call The VicWaltship but not in any hurry. I hope they do surprise me! 3:54 pm, We truly enjoy this episode and think this show has the best cast on tv. I cannot imagine Cady ever getting romantically involved with Branch again. Best episode yet! 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. 6:26 pm. Cady clearly saw more than the wound. Longmire season 3 finale review: Do we know who killed Walts wife? Longmires been sheriff a long time, must have gotten in Barlow Connallys way many times over the years. 1:36 am. . The short-term deputy who was brought in, seemingly, for wise, sentimental reasons, but then fired because Walt was afraid to treat him with wisdom or sentiment.. It was innocent, but she drew the conclusion it wasnt. Cheers for Season 4! I simply dont watch television, with the exception of Monday nights. I thoroughly enjoyed the finale even though the conspiracy about Marthas murder had holes large enough to drive a truck through. Cant wait for season 4!!! It should be renewed for a fourth season because it is one of the best shows on television. Best television in a long time. We knew that Walt and Henry are the fantastic duo, but who knew that Vic and Henry could play so well off each other? Under the pen name of Edward A. Grainger, David Cranmer writes the continuing adventures of Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles. I did notice Cady eyeing them, when Vic naturally and caringly I think Barlow assumed the death would cripple Walt, who wouldnt run. Skyler nearly killed herself for walt's actions too. Not at this point. August 5, 2014 @ Really enjoyed the humorous banter between Walt/Henry and Vic/Henry. If the jar that Henry took was new requests for Hectors help, I wonder how he will handle them dont see him beating people up and pulling teeth. Aha! [b]snowdogmom[/b], 100% support more Lucian Connally and having him partner up with Walt again. She seemed to fall out of the picture with no exit plan. Besides, in typical Longmire fashion, he seems to half blame himself for what happened to Branch. I recall, Jacob thinking aloud that Branch had become more like Walt than he (Branch) realized. What did you think about the Longmire finale, and were the reveals everything that you expected and then some? Is David ridges alive Longmire? Fortunately we were able to find it at a later time so we could see what we missed A&E also needs to start at the scheduled time rather tha 5 minutes late. I thought it was Hectors ashes, but could be the job jar. 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. Also, being vocal about your feelings on a subject is the only way to convey them. August 5, 2014 @ Wasnt expecting the possibility of Branchs dad being the person responsible for Marthas death. With that finale I am really looking forward to the next season. I caught up some via On Demand and this years AE pre-season but not until I bought Season 1/2 and binge watched it (highly recommended) did I get to see ALL of the previous episodes. 4:18 am. 3:26 am. Visit our. The interplay between Henry & Walt seems true to Craig Johnson books. 5:07 am. look at two n half men . SEE ALSO: Of course, we're covering Season 4 of Longmire,starting with the premiere Down By the River! Loved the endingalways wondered if Barlows character would take a darker turn, and if he was the man behind the curtain. Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. Instead we get the same cliffhanger of Branch in danger as last season. It was Branchs big redemption! Hopefull, if there is a S4, they can move forward much more freely. Ill be so disappointed if it doesnt return! As you say, this is just one of the many nuances that make this a different show. I thought maybe Bridges stole it just long enough to get to his horse. He does have legal problems with his role though doesnt he? Ive been singing the praises of Katee Sackhoff and Bailey Chase but, arguably, Taylor had the most powerful, emotional walloping of a scene in all of season three. The kind of thing that just leaves you breathless. Branch is a very interesting character. Was it the unquiet spirit of the boy who was murdered whose killer Walt was pursuing? Was Longmire on his way to confront Connelly? NEeds to be more episodes. I just pray that we get another season, and that the showrunners go back to having the team solving murders. It was those types I was refering to and they tend to flood a lot of the discussions. It seems it would be harder than simply walking in and having Walt say okay then but not impossible. Vic too for that matter if the punch in the face was the best thing that happened to her all week. Updated February 28, 2023 at 11:51 AM ET. are for watching things over a year old, LOL. Why does Barlow kill branch? I always enjoy learning a little more about Craig Johnson and this remarkable world he has created. Who knows? [b]Penny[/b], I also dont see Cady backtracking with Branch. Quality programming takes yet another hit in favor of more trash TV. Required fields are marked *. 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. Their feelings regarding certain characters may be justified. Sort of thing in a way to convey them well enough surrounding Marthas and Miller deaths. Maybe theres something else we havent been told the demise of the boy who was murdered time. Now knowing that Barlow had Martha killed to help elect Branch, uh maybe!
