Crow Medicine Woman Marilyn Yarlott (Tantoo Cardinal) visits Longmire (Robert Taylor) with a tempting offer: to take him to Malachi Strand (Graham Greene). She compares Malachi to a Japanese bark beetle spreading, killing everything. Malachi and his hoods have been hiding out on the Crow Reservation. At first, she had a profitable arrangement selling them…
Vic (Katee Sackhoff) is learning there is often no such thing as closure. After going to a support group and seeing a woman who, rightfully so, is still crying over a lost child a year later, she listens to Longmire’s (Robert Taylor) advice: instead of talking it out, she needs to—in a manner of speaking—sweat…
The spavined storyline of Longmire vs. Nighthorse continues. Nighthorse (A Martinez) wants to stay out of the prison population, preferring solitary confinement where the long reach of Malachi Strand can’t whack him. (Hard to believe it’s even a question that they would toss him in the general population considering he’s a wealthy “leading” citizen of…
Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) is damn near giddy with relief from being out from under the dark prosecution cloud. He grabs a bottle of libation from his office and heads into the next room to celebrate with his coworkers. I’ve often wondered: if TV characters were flesh and blood and actually went through the colossal…
I had forgotten how much I appreciate Warren Zevon’s singing. His gruff, world-weary rendition of “Back in the High Life Again” opens the show as we follow Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor), who is reading Lucian Connally’s (Peter Weller) letter that admits he killed Tucker Baggett and dictates how to dispose of his remains. A touching,…
This last season of Longmire is pulling out all the stops, resulting in unexpected twists, turns, and drop-offs—literally, in this case, toward the end of the episode. It all begins with Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) on the first day of his trial and the verbal castration he takes from lawyer Tucker Baggett (Brett Rice). Even…
Much of the first five seasons in the relationship of Walt (Robert Taylor) and Vic (Katee Sackhoff) had a hollow ring to the sexual tension. Would they, or wouldn’t they? Snooze. Vic ended up with Eamonn (Josh Cooke) and then Travis (Derek Phillips) while Walt found a psychotherapist to pass his time. In this fourth…
What should have been a routine, dull day at the courthouse is anything but for Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) and Vic Moretti (Katee Sackhoff). Jury selection is underway for Walt’s upcoming case, and Vic has shown up to hear the charges leveled against Chance Gilbert (Peter Stormare)—he and his compound thugs had terrorized Vic by…
Henry Standing Bear (Lou Diamond Phillips) agrees to recuperate at Walt’s house if Walt shakes hands on staying away from Jacob Nighthorse (A Martinez). They both agree though Walt takes the wooden stakes used to pin Henry to the ground on the Crow reservation. He turns them over to his perpetually wide-eyed daughter Cady as…
Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) begins the sixth and final season farther behind the 8-ball than any other time in the show’s five-year history—and that’s saying a lot for this sheriff. Currently, he has a wrongful death suit pending against him, orchestrated by a conglomerate of local businessmen and politicians who are all bolstered by their…
