why did barlow kill walt's wife

Of course, I was left asking: who set the wheels in motion for Miller Beck to kill Martha Longmire? If Barlow is dead, he is going to need Walt more than ever. Ive had enough of Branch the crazy rogue this season. Is Branch dead? Probably no chance though. Why did Walt have to kill Gus? 3:37 am. But praying to the Corporate Gods cant hurt!

She placed the weapon to her head, crying, trembling, preparing to alleviate her tortured mind. [b]Penny[/b], Gotta say Id hate to see Branch gone. In this storyline and others, they went against book canon. 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 Cadys accident it was used to display one of Longmires most virtuous flaws: that overdeveloped sense of responsibility for everything that in this instance leads him to think giving in to Lizzies seduction led to Cady being in a coma. August 5, 2014 @ Who is the father of Vic's baby on Longmire? Jhera35 4:13 am. I feel like there is too much unresolved with Malachi and Nighthorse and more for us to discover there but I dont think Nighthorse intended for Walts wife to be murdered. Not only did Barlow funnel money through Nighthorse to support Branch's campaign for Sheriff, he also made a significant payment made to Nighthorse's business the week that Martha was killeda payment intended for a "soldier," with no questions asked. We just let them rant. PaulK, I feel after he spread Marthas ashes he was headed to confront Jacob Nighthorse. 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.

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.

Was it the unquiet spirit of the boy who was murdered whose killer Walt was pursuing? Bringem Back!! It deserves more promotion a better time slot and it will get many more fans. austinmoose If Vic and Walt actually got romantic, the characters would seem more predictable than if Vic gets divorced and meets a new man. [b]samanthajane[/b], Branch has been mostly a terrible law enforcement officer since season one. 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. She was on 24 a few seasons ago. 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. His line that son of a bitch Walt Longmire sounded like he has a deep hatred for him. Branch confronts Barlow and Barlow kills him, but makes it look like a suicide. 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. IMO (2 cents), I think Barlow killed himself, So I cant say for sure that the owl in Longmire has always symbolized Martha but I think it does. One of the top five shows on television period! Excellent comments ! As to the Walt and Vic relationship the writers have handled this with kid gloves. Other than glances and appropriate caring touches, there has been little hint of anything else. 3:26 am. @Kay Vics character was most definitely not on 24. The vast majority of the time, this sort of thing in a finale leads to them finding a way to survive. The part when Walt was spreading his wifes ashes was so sad. Didnt care for her part then, and dont now. That seems to be who the character is to me and I feel like he is lost without it. IMO she has developed a drinking problem after finding out her mother was murdered. Also, being vocal about your feelings on a subject is the only way to convey them. Robert W. Hamlett 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. Or you get the argument Its in the books, so it has to happen when the tv series had not strictly followed book canon. It can be very frustrating . Was it just a device to let us hear Marthas voice as Walt was going to spread her ashes or was there more significance? 5:52 am. Like something out of the J.K. Rowling school of character naming. Maybe a little to soap-operish?!! Longmire gets better ratings than both. Dog stated: Unfortunately, now he may be dead. In a season of incredible performances from the whole cast, Robert Taylor delivered powerfully in the scene when Walt finally lets go of Martha. The owner of the company, Barlow Connally, paid Ridges to kill Martha Longmire. So this summer, the next season will appear there! The first time we see the owl is in the pilot. Kalalau Not surprisingly, Walt wasn't taking his calls. She seemed too girlie for him, half fainting violet, half stalker trying to force her way into his life. He looked so out of place in his fathers office. Normally we have to wait for weddings for this type of, Remember last week when I praised House of the Dragon for not holding our hands while it zoomed through the story? Why do we have until next year for season 4? So heres something totally out of left fieldmaybe Ridges recently found out that he was Barlows bastard son/his mother had been abused and abandoned by Barlow and his hatred of Barlow and Branch led him to want them to suffer. They would watch for a while and become disinterested their reason -they had no clue what was going on with half the storylines. At least cable shows have so few episodes per season its not hard to catch up. When key players do the deed, it is often the demise of the show. Barlow needed the Casino in the county to further his business interests, so he has her killed. Look at Bones. 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 only real exception is if this ending is set up thanks to a contract dispute . She had stopped at a campground where she fixated on a happy family laughing and holding hands. why f with a good show. [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. Of course we wont get a 4th season. 11:08 pm. Maybe? . In case you dont know already the people behind The Closer are the mostly the same people behind Longmire. It gave us everything we hoped for to see him no longer have to be on the run. But, sure, its a possibility. He tried to do good things but he was an evil man. 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. [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. how much money did the vampire diaries gross. Why did Henry take Hectors drop jar?. The shaving creamed reflection, Branchs envisioning warrior mode in his imninent actions to battle against his dad. They run a marathon of the current season during the day on a Friday? Zahn McClarnon does a very good job with that character. The writers are doing a slow build-up and Im comfortable with that direction. I think the jar of notes were NEW requests since Hector passed. I read somewhere last year that they had come under new management. Too bad more fans of TV crime dramas havent found it yet. Just curious. 3:36 am.

Pretty sick, right? What a hoot (owl pun intended). Well, friends, I have heard they cancelled Longmire. Florida Gov. 6:41 am. Branch will make a comeback in one form or another, and I do not believe this show will be cancelled, moved to another network perhaps, but A&E needs this show. I also find it surprising that Barlow, who supposedly had Vice President business cards made for Branch before he became a member of police and desperately wanted his son to follow in his footsteps, would take out Martha to help Branch become Sheriff. It has been reported that A&E is contracturally obligated to make a renewal decision by August 31st. Apparently there are other folks who have gotten interested because Im on the waiting list for #4. Vic too for that matter if the punch in the face was the best thing that happened to her all week. Crossfire is a series about three families who are staying in a holiday resort on a Spanish island when gunmen come into the premises and begin to shoot. lou diamond is a good actor. Ill take it one step further. Walt Longmire's fictional biography. . 4:36 pm. Was Longmire on his way to confront Connelly? Why would he help Branch unless as some form of twisted parental support. He expressed the dignified despair of Henry Standing Bear so beautifully. Perhaps as someone else mentioned he could be mayor or something. His son, Branch (The Connallys have some crazy names) , the sheriff's deputy, figured out that Barlow had Walt's wife killed. I thought maybe Bridges stole it just long enough to get to his horse. The Season 1 DVD didnt come out until a year after season 1 aired and when asked about Blu-Ray version, nothing. He really has the upper edge even though he was distracted. Anyone else, would have been perfect. August 5, 2014 @ 5:07 am. Mr. Taylor did an excellent job in portraying grief and relief in that powerful moment.

Unless there is something business wise (contract negotiations going on?) He releases her ashes onto the ground where he promised 'til death do us part years ago. Thanks. Thank you for the article link, emsA2! I just think the writers wont get it right and ruin the whole. It may be its ultimate downfall which would be a shame. Since we know he is an only son, it would be his sister. It is only natural, that these two with similar personalities and needs would eventually be drawn together. Though the whole Barlow reveal is still soaking in with me. Christine If the arc is well done, like Ridges, I dont mind. I hope Branch isnt dead, but it seems like he might be and sometimes great characters have to die to advance a story.of course it could be his father who was shot, so.. Cindy Pierce The owl is used as symbolism in the show. Loved how they tied up the Henry trial and Marthas murder, but left open ends for next season. 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. Elementary has a good song selection, too. I cant see that person living in the half finished cabin or driving that Casi-NO bumper-stickered car. 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. While the battle of the ballot between Branch and Walt wasn't waged in this season finale of "Longmire" (Sun., 10 p.m. I agree with [b]Dog[/b] that Sean should have been gone in season one and that the Gorski story was a mistake. emsa2, I think Walt deserved a drink after what hes had to deal with and more than a Raineer. 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! Especially after the punch in the kisser.

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. I still feel like viewers arent being shown the entire picture, which is standard for mysteries but frustrating at the same time. In " Breaking Bad ," Walter White 's descent from mild-mannered family man to murderous meth kingpin . AMC. Walt saying goodbye to his wife was an unforgettable moment. Vic should have just been divorced from the start. Why would Barlow go that route? I thought Walts spreading of Marthas ashes was very poignant. I dont think we know who killed his wife. Until recently I assumed it was a given and Longmire was just working its way there nice and slow. Snowdogmom, we have had discussions in other forums and I have always found your opinions insightful. I always enjoy learning a little more about Craig Johnson and this remarkable world he has created. I however have been on sites where people are downright nasty if you express you like the Vic character, or say she has some redeeming quailties, or she is the most reliable deputy, or disagree with their opinion at all and the same people post over and over and over and over again even when the topic may not be about Vic and they have already expressed their opinion. Much more about power and money than the benefit to Branch. Do that , then watch the ratings go UP UP and way UP!

Which happens frequently in the real world. I hope youre right, Victor. Also Ive finally come to accept the Walt & Vic relationship. I do have to note, though, that Branchs father did not say that he paid to have Walts wife killed. I need to go back and look at it to see if they talked about the owl but maybe not because it is not a vision. Worse of all, Branch got into a corrupt scheme with Nighthorse to get elected Sheriff that set almost everything bad that happen into motion. I think it was ridges. I will say that the very reason that you want to keep Branch is exactly why he should be killed off or sent away. However, the writers make some odd choices so I would not be surprised if suddenly they try to write them as some great romance, but I hope that Cady gets a new love interest. What Walt does not realize is that Barlow Connally, who deeply resents Walt, made a $50,000 payment to Big Pine Timbers to pay for a hitman to kill Walt's wife, Martha.

BalsterFudd357 Ive enjoyed reading everyones comments and you all have given me a lot to think about going forward to season 4. I hope they do surprise me! Though Walt had successfully been found innocent despite the efforts of Barlow's associates. But, damn, wasnt that a top season closer?! Was anyone curious who took off in Walts truck just prior to David Bridges attack in last weeks episode?

Was it a symbol that he was at risk of dying? When Barlow was talking about how the Connallys settled Absaroka County I wondered how nuts Branchs grandfather/great-grandfather might have been. Cady clearly saw more than the wound. He attended the University of Southern California, where he played offensive lineman for the USC Trojans and . If the show gets another season and the writers are going to put them together, they need to ease them into a relationship without any more over the top obstacles. this show has been great and has kept you interested with each show. What was it a symbol of there? August 5, 2014 @ It works in the books and it took Craig about four books/four years to get there. These three characters need to interact a lot more.
