Those story arcs were part of the cause for so many Vic haters and strong feelings Walt and Vic should not get together. Branch’s may have been a case of temporary insanity but he definitely went over the edge of mental stabilty this season. First, I liked the opening music to this episode. When Barlow was talking about how the Connallys settled Absaroka County I wondered how nuts Branch’s grandfather/great-grandfather might have been. [b]Penny[/b], I also don’t see Cady backtracking with Branch. This article contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones season eight, episode six, The Iron Throne - the last ever episode. Quite a artistic creation. I noticed that they were not so obliging this year. Was there any significance in the appearence of the colour red (the red balloon, Alex's blouse, Gene's car, some of the office equipment in the police station, various others)? [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)] [/color]”Because in the Northern Cheyenne lexicon the owls are basically messengers from the camp of the dead, they fly the hanging road, that belt of the Milky Way …” I can definitely see where the writers could have used that meaning in the Branch and Barlow ending. A rifle was fired but that does not mean someone was killed but that scene was quite powerful regardless. What I didn’t see coming was Branch’s father Barlow (Gerald McRaney) being the responsible party. I wouldn’t write him out until the divorce, although he’s proven himself to be a coward in the face of danger–not Vic’s type. It was enormously watchable but not as consistent, and the high points weren’t as high. I can’t help but wonder what effect Malachi’s return will have on both Mathias and the Rez next year (and there will be a NEXT year on some network! “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. 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. (Interestingly, Dixon was another cop who was brought back from the dead – he died in 1949 film The Blue Lamp but was resurrected for the BBC TV series.). I recall, Jacob thinking aloud that Branch had become more like Walt than he (Branch) realized. Created by Matthew Graham, Ashley Pharoah. This is a great cast. He had no idea about Barlow being involved. I can’t wait for Season 4. Directed by Bille Eltringham. I’ve been watching from the beginning and after season 1 aired it wasn’t seen again until season 2 was ready to premiere 9 months later. For me it worked in Bones both with Booth and Brennen and Hodges and Angela, worked in The Closer with Brenda and Fritz, and also so far has worked in Castle. During the last episode, Hunt is revealed to be part of a supernatural world, a form of limbo, populated by dead police officers. I did LIKE the Lizzie story-arc, what it revealed about Walt and Vic, how it was part of his healing process and then how after Cady’s accident it was used to display one of Longmire’s most virtuous flaws: that overdeveloped sense of responsibility for everything that in this instance leads him to think giving in to Lizzie’s seduction led to Cady being in a coma. We just started watching Longmire this year, this past May. As you say, this is just one of the many nuances that make this a “different” show. Thanks; hope it’s a short hiatus. Why not kill Longmire himself? [b]snowdogmom[/b], 100% support more Lucian Connally and having him partner up with Walt again. Besides, in typical Longmire fashion, he seems to half blame himself for what happened to Branch. A&E is not winning me over as a supporter. Favorite line remains, “If you do the job right, Walt, by the time you put down your sheriff’s badge, you’re a wanted man.” I’ve 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. IMO, the writers gamble failed. I doubt we’ll get more. I have this theory that Barlow and Walt’s relationship is much more complicated than it’s been said and that Martha’s murder had more reasons behind it than just throwing Walt off his game to get Branch to the Sheriff’s office. I agree with most, that the Branch character works best as a deputy. Could have been nothing, might have been something, that’s what I like about this show. [color=rgb(0, 0, 0)] [/color]. It’s a writing tactic that allows the audience understanding of the plot point. Gene is an angel who helps them pass successfully to the other side by helping them achieve redemption, while Keats is a devil who wants to entice them into Hell. I found it odd that both season 2 and 3 ended with Branch getting shot. THE ONE WHERE Alex finally discovers the truth about Gene Hunt and why she is back in the ‘80s. Zahn McClarnon does a very good job with that character. But praying to the “Corporate Gods” can’t hurt! Ash vs Evil Dead S01E08 Ashes to Ashes. *** knows how to promote their shows. of series3 No. Then Walt leaves Vic stranded at the Red Pony as he rushes to Denver. Is this correct? I caught up some via On Demand and this year’s 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. What Happened To Carolyn Blankenfeld – Photograph Ash and her crew finish up their trip to Tennessee by saying goodbye to Danielle, Chris’s 2nd wife. Please refresh the page and try again. Outside the office, Longmire bars Branch from going in. Of course even if the owl is not a symbol someone died, it would not mean one of the two Connally’s is not dead but I do now believe that Martha’s spirit is not at rest and is trying to communicate with Walt at the end of the season 3 finale. I feel like the Longmire writers gave us a study in variations of a familial crazy gene this season. This will be public at 2pm CST! Jim Keets is ready to file his report on Gene, Alex heads off to discover whether Sam Tyler’s body is buried in a shallow grave and Ray, Chris and Shaz continue to see strange things around them. Another interesting storyline would be if Branch did go back to the sheriff’s dept and his sibling – assuming he has one – taking up the reins and being just as devious and evil as Barlow. In a season of incredible performances from the whole cast, Robert Taylor delivered powerfully in the scene when Walt finally lets go of Martha.

A&E wanted a larger profit share. Ashes to Ash is dedicated to bringing cold cases back into the light, investigating missing persons cases and telling true crime stories that have been forgotten.
