Ha! Besides, I would not want to give up that amazing scene in The Election where he just says what the hell, goes back in, throws off the hat and jacket, sweeps the table clear and proceeds to ravish Lizzie right there on it. In case you dont know already the people behind The Closer are the mostly the same people behind Longmire. I could buy a Longmire soundtrack like they use to release for shows like Miami Vice.

My favorite part of the finale was the banter between, Vic, Walt and Bearmuch like the recurring theme in the books. Walt ends his relationship with Donna. Does Henry ever get the red pony back? The season finale was a great episode with my favorite line of the series: Walt punched me. Meanwhile, Branch is curious about a possible relationship between his father and Jacob Nighthorse. I think Warner held firm. this show has been great and has kept you interested with each show. Was there a deeper meaning from the cast and crew?

First, Id like to raise. [39] Filming concluded the last week of June. When we left off, Walt (Robert Taylor) had just killed David Ridges (David Midthunder), who . Anyone else, would have been perfect. Walt leaves searching for the buried treasure that Lucian had convinced him that he had found, while Henry takes over Jacob's casino. Hope we are all in place again next summer! Ive enjoyed the weekly re-caps, as there is always some little gem that I missed while watching. I thought Walts spreading of Marthas ashes was very poignant. 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. It has been reported that A&E is contracturally obligated to make a renewal decision by August 31st. Whether the producers/actors will let us know or not, who knows. 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. I hate these reality shows . 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. What would be the best network for Longmire to find a new home, assuming A&E pulls the plug? [b]Mates[/b], One of the best moments in television in a long time. years(!) Most of their encounters were too serious this season. Walt starts his trial as does Chance who pleads guilty and then engineers his escape. The interplay between Henry & Walt seems true to Craig Johnson books. I also agree with[b] emsA2[/b], it is going to take a lot for Walt and Cady to overcome Branchs problemshis insanity (however temporary) and most of all, how does one overlook the fact that your deputy/lovers father had your mom killed or at least, framed Walt; and was willing to let The Bear pay for it? In "Counting Coup," the David Ridges storyline comes to a close. leave the good ones alone. Season 3s Wanted Man featuring Peter Weller was one of the strongest episodes. Maybe? Filming of the interiors took place in New Mexico at Garson Studios, on the campus of Santa Fe University of Art and Design. But it appeared Branch used both types. I hope they do surprise me! But, perhaps, someone else has a better answer? A&E gets first right of refusal, and then any other network could work out a deal with Warner.

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 hope we hear by the end of August. Branch is a very interesting character. I do like Branch and Cady together but think he has as much to do to earn his way back into her good graces as he does to Walts.

(The Indian reservation has its own police force, which has authority within the reservation boundaries, except for capital crimes.) In that case, Branch would have been a shoe-in. Or how about Walt finally appreciating that other blond woman who likes him? It would add more drama.

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? Was it just a device to let us hear Marthas voice as Walt was going to spread her ashes or was there more significance? 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. PaulK, I feel after he spread Marthas ashes he was headed to confront Jacob Nighthorse. I really enjoy Gerald McRaneys acting and hope Barlow sticks around a bit longer.

As the series progresses, the friends deal with issues of gambling at a casino on the reservation, issues of competing jurisdictional authority for protecting people and prosecuting crimes, and other issues of contemporary Native American life. Like some of you have mentioned, I too have been a little unclear as to why David Ridges would come after Branch with such vengence.
