why did barlow kill walt's wife

Keep up the good work!! August 5, 2014 @ A New Old Western that premiered on A&E on June 3, 2012 based on the "Walt Longmire Mysteries" novel series by Craig Johnson. We missed the last few minutes. I assume that came from ridges war paint. Whatever happen to the lady that had the hots for Walt? Who is the father of Vic's baby on Longmire? This show always surprises me so I am certain that a Season 4 would continue that trend. Aha! They rant against those with a well thought out objection, not only against those who just state they hate Vic. She is devoted to her job and justice and cares about the victims so it is not surprising that Walt is so close to Vic and has developed feelings for her. Barlow saw an opportunity and had him killed by Ridges. They dont need these over the top long drawn out story arcs now that we got Walts wifes murder mostly tied up. [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. So I hope they keep it that way, a slow burn of some excellent character chemistry. August 5, 2014 @ Kodi2k6 Vic should have just been divorced from the start. Bailey Chase and Katee Sackhoff certainly deserve some recognition for their intense scenes. Several British stars have turned down the offer to help ring in King Charles III's coronation. We just let them rant. PaulK, I feel after he spread Marthas ashes he was headed to confront Jacob Nighthorse. Dmr412, I have no problem with people voicing their opinion pro or con. Very much appreciated. With the close relationship that all the Longmire executive producers have shared with TNT, Im surprised they took Longmire to A&E with their reputation with scripted dramas. If either he or Walt had killed Beck, the body would never have been found. 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. August 5, 2014 @ Additionally, why not take out Walt? 7:21 pm, Barlow basically admitted to hiring Ridges through Nighthorseto inflict pain on the Sheriff so he would lose it and drink himself out of the office of Sheriff so Barlows son Branch would win the election in a land slide and he would have influence in the highest office in the county to which he has a LARGE stake in the Indian Casino and still have an upper hand over the Indian Tribal Council though his SON the SHERIFF and become even more wealth and powerful. And thank you, [b]snowdogmom[/b], for being a part of the conversation here each week. Cant wait for Season 4!!!! 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 . One of only a handful of truly great drama and intelligent writing for adults. [b]Dog[/b], checking the online dictionary it says owls are considered by some to be harbingers of bad luck, ill health, or death. So we have some wiggle room on the meaning of the owl showing up to hard-eye Walt. 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. Hope for a season four! Cant imagine any Deputy questioning a boss like she does. Though Walt had successfully been found innocent despite the efforts of Barlow's associates. Having her out of the way would allow Branchs father to move forward with the construction of the casino. became too much for NEW viewers to overcome. More please. Lou Stefano But there is clearly a strong strain of it in the Connally family. The whole Sean and Gorski story arcs were not needed. They dont even respond on their various Facebook pages. 4:50 pm. Walt lettting go of Martha was a great scene. Branch is a very interesting character. In my mind, yes, but I read somewhere that TPTB (The Powers That Be, term I use when I dont really know who has the power to make decisions for a television show) are trying to read the tea leaves and think that it is 60-40 AGAINST the VicWaltship among Longmire viewers. Thank you, Mr. Grainger for your wonderful posts! [b]Dog[/b], Interesting theory. I am going to catch up on the books before a new season begins (if it does, fingers crossed) and will try to review the first two tv seasons with the comments of all in mind. It was innocent, but she drew the conclusion it wasnt. I want to be clear: this doesnt have anything to do with the, We Light the Way, the fifth episode of HBOs House of the Dragon, feels like the end of Part 1. Wish I knew more exact details. I didnt know the renewal of Longmire was an issue with A&E. The Most Evil Things Walter White Ever Did. Douglas Henning I wouldnt write him out until the divorce, although hes proven himself to be a coward in the face of dangernot Vics type. I dont think coming in on season 3 and being lost in the story arcs is unique to Longmire. 5:52 am. For me it was also one of best Oh my! note(s) (requests) in it. Ill take it one step further. The only way I stumbled on Longmire before it premiered was because of the wasteland of programming and I happened to be watching The Glades which promoted Longmire. Well, friends, I have heard they cancelled Longmire. We heard Barlows shot fired, but he missed Branch. 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. Especially if it goes long. 4:06 am. I wish I knew more about the contractual relationship between Warner/Horizon and A&E. That seems to be who the character is to me and I feel like he is lost without it. Heck, its logging more viewers than many network shows. Henry genuinely asks, Someone stole a corpse? Ferg comments, I know. I dont think Branch was killed. mr.tufts 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. Celebrity. The for group can also rant, just not as loudly. 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 have removed A&E from my channel lineup. Perhaps as someone else mentioned he could be mayor or something. The owl seemed to guide Walt to a cabin and that was essential to him surviving and going on. What was in the jar was Walts dead wife ashes! There is a special feature on the Longmire Season 2 DVD where the producers talk about Walts visions on the mountain. I blame AE for that a lot. [b]snowdogmom[/b], 100% support more Lucian Connally and having him partner up with Walt again. 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. August 5, 2014 @ Is is possible no one shot anyone or is it possible that someone else shot either Barlow or Branch? The continuation for three It seems like a far fetched plan, but the man turned out to be ruthless, especially if he killed his own son. 3:23 am. I hope youre right, Victor. Is this correct? Just curious. As you say a lot of comments are constructive criticism. why f with a good show. 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. I like Longmire, but it would much be better with more daring writing and less predictable plots. giambotta recipe lidia; anxiety operational definition; kotor things to do before leaving taris They only have three shows drawing any sizeable audience Longmire, Bates Hotel and DD (I have never watched either of the last two). Outside the office, Longmire bars Branch from going in. All the tributes proved just how many people Hector had helped and how much he was missed. We both felt the same regarding the Gorski storyline and although I am not a Walt/Vic shipper, our discussions have been respectful and I appreciate that. In the TV series, hes Henry and LDP does a very good job with his character. It was a right between the eyes message to the viewers: look at this, if you didnt get it before this is a man of huge passions who keeps them tightly reigned. The interplay between Henry & Walt seems true to Craig Johnson books. The part when Walt was spreading his wifes ashes was so sad. I also dont think Barlow paid anyone to kill Branch I think that was Nighthorse. Most of the posters here are way ahead of me in the nuances of this tv series. I knew enough to tell me I wasnt interested in a show about Zombies. In a way, hes a lot like Walt in that he just wouldnt be comfortable with the dirty dealings of his fathers business. 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. It seems relatively invisible/ignored in the entertainment media. Quality programming takes yet another hit in favor of more trash TV. wonderful season ender season 4 newel should really be a no brainer. Its a writing tactic that allows the audience understanding of the plot point. IMO (2 cents), I think Barlow killed himself, thus setting Branch free to be his own man, thus creating another son, not created in his fathers image. 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. emsa2, I think Walt deserved a drink after what hes had to deal with and more than a Raineer. 3:35 am, I believe that was how hector would get hisjobs. I doubt Barlow paid to have anyone killed to help Branch. The show was given ten extra minutes in order to properly try to answer that question. I laughed at Walt & Henrys grave robbing antics and cried when Walt let Martha go. Why not kill Longmire himself? [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]. Angry and spiteful at having lost to Walt, Barlow came up with one last plan. 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. It gave us everything we hoped for to see him no longer have to be on the run. Was wondering what was in the jar that Henry picked up off of that Wall?! We cant imagine this show ending. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Thanks so much for joining us! When Nighthorse rambles on about how hes tired of constantly being scrutinized, he crosses the line by invoking Longmires late wifes name. Barlow admits to paying him to send Ridges to Denver the week that Walt's wife was killed, in the pursuit of having Branch replace Walt as sheriff. Heres hoping. I think Barlow assumed the death would cripple Walt, who wouldnt run. Elementary has a good song selection, too. Teens Break-in to House to Bake Marijuana Brownies. As to Branch and his father, I believe Branch shot his father but as to your comment, Penny, about this not being the kind of show where the main characters die, I remind you of The Good Wife. We didnt see that one coming either. We found Longmire during season 2 and fell in love with this program. So as you said we all have a right to our opinion and that is mine. Branch confronts Barlow and Barlow kills him, but makes it look like a suicide. I bet a lot of Longmire viewers watch Major Crimes. What could they possibly have in common? It was only five minutes before the end of the episode when this happened, and we were still confused but only briefly. Walt, who is finally starting to understand the truth, realizes that not only was Ridges involved, but Nighthorse was also involved.He believes that these are the only 2 to be involved. Ill be so disappointed if it doesnt return! It would be the same with a lot of other shows, coming in after several seasons. Longmire is the best show on tv PERIOD! A&E wanted a larger profit share. I dont want to jinx it but I cant see why another network wouldnt pick the show up. But as we both stated all are entitled to their opinion. I dont think we know who killed his wife. Shortly after, I laughed out loud when Vic and Longmire walk into the Red Pony and Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) asks what happened. When someone takes a couple of shots at Nighthorse's house, Vic fears Walt may have been the shooter. Excellent!!! Everything is superb! The season finale was funny, exciting, and heartbreaking. Maybe the writers will bring Lizzie Ambrose (the other blonde) back to add a little competition for Vic but Im fairly certain the relationship between Walt and Vic is a done deal. 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. ! moments (insert voice of Annie Savoy, Susan Sarandans character in Bull Durham, responding to Crash Davis little speech about what he believes in in matters of the heart) Ive ever seen on TV. What a great finale and another great season! I am pro- what I call The VicWaltship but not in any hurry. Then Walt leaves Vic stranded at the Red Pony as he rushes to Denver. He managed to reload his shotgun (or pull a concealed pistol), triggered the trap as a distraction, and turned to fire on Branch. The anti Vic, anti Walt/Vic haters and trolls are just more vocal and use any opportunity to ignite the dialog to rant about their point of view. Although there was not any close interaction between Vic and Walt appropriately so it was really sweet to see Vic take care of Walts bloody ear in the bar What a total dirtbag Barlow turned out to be, not that we didnt think he was pretty slimy, but to turn against Branch like that pretty powerful! It should be renewed for a fourth season because it is one of the best shows on television. DrewOFB, you are welcome. Also, I cant remember details of the explanation of how exactly Martha died but maybe the payment was to kill Walt and Martha got in the way? Well, Im afraid weve discovered the other side of that coin, as this weeks 10-year jump felt a bit too jarring. Great writing, solid acing performances. Plot [] Summary []. Retired Sheriff Lucian Connally was a recurring character on the Longmire Television series. When it comes to Henrys case, we spent most of the 70 minutes basically convincing ourselves that the guy was going to go back to prison. 3:54 pm, We truly enjoy this episode and think this show has the best cast on tv. Perhaps, blackmail from Ridges. leave the good ones alone. I doubt well get more. Lots more too about the Longmire books and TV show, glad I found it. I could buy a Longmire soundtrack like they use to release for shows like Miami Vice. My husband thinks Im nuts and it was just makeup or war paint. I think the whole Martha being killed story arc wasnt needed. 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. Branch had suspicious evidence that he might have shared with Longmire before confronting his father. Was Longmire on his way to confront Connelly? 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. Still, having Barlow as the mastermind was inspired writing. I agree with [b]Dog[/b] that Sean should have been gone in season one and that the Gorski story was a mistake. Hope we are all in place again next summer! August 5, 2014 @ Jeffrey Who is the father of Vic's baby on Longmire? 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. I watched unlocked Season 3 episodes as part of A&E channel on my Roku. DeMaris from Tillsonburg Ontario Canada. Isnt that where people left notes for Hector with requests for his services? The ONLY TV program I will go out of my way to watch period. Anyone else, would have been perfect. Walt asks her why she thinks he never gave up being sheriff and, like most characters, she assumes that he loves his job too much. 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. And thank you. The biggest mistake the producers made was dealing this to A&E.
