So we have some wiggle room on the meaning of the owl showing up to hard-eye Walt.

Walt travels to Boston to confront the head of the Irish Mafia, Shane Muldoon (Dylan Walsh) and tell him to stop selling heroin or else he will divulge Muldoon's identity to the FBI. It would be the same with a lot of other shows, coming in after several seasons. Thank you for the article link, emsA2! I, for one, do NOT care for the Vic character. Craigs latest book Any Other Name was so good with Vic getting the best of Lucian with her come backs and Walt watching it all unfold. 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. Getting sick of their lack of information and promotion for Longmire. A go-between named David Ridges hired Miller Beck to kill Martha Longmire. And thank you for the compliment. Does Henry ever get the red pony back? When she finds out about how she was injured by his scheme with Nighthorse and his Branchs other behavior, I expect she will be done with him.

I imagine her as a very smart and independent woman who called Walt on his sh$t (maybe even used a curse word sometimes, not as much as Vic of course), kept him in line when he needed it, loved and supported him yes but also fought against the casino even when it might have made his job difficult.

One of the reasons characters question the Longmore character is so the audience will have an idea of what is going on, given that Longmire is supposed to be so un-communicative.

This is a great cast. Its not like Vic, Walt, and Henry let alone Cady are known for taking shots and it seemed like more than good product placement to me. He is also the editor/publisher of the BEAT to a PULP webzine and books. PBS is doing the same thing with the final three episodes of Poirot. I didnt even realize there were people ranting about the Walt/Vic dynamics. I liked that Branch has discovered his father hired out the murder of Walts wife before Walt learned it. He is assisted by staff, friends, and his daughter in investigating major crimes within his jurisdiction. Archie is held up at gunpoint delivering Eddie to the FBI, traumatizing him.

Its the most important barometer a network uses to indicate popularity. Of course, I was left asking: who set the wheels in motion for Miller Beck to kill Martha Longmire? Like something out of the J.K. Rowling school of character naming. Cant imagine any Deputy questioning a boss like she does. It is unfortunate that the writers are unlikely to consider having Branch kicked off completely. . 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? 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.

Walt learns of Ridges' hideout location and kills him in a confrontation, in self defence.

If either he or Walt had killed Beck, the body would never have been found. There did not seem time for this without Branch taking some kind of action. 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.
