By David Cranmer

October 5, 2016

I’m fairly certain we all knew Cady Longmire (Cassidy Freeman) would be safe after her close quarters duel with J.P. Wright. She acted in self-defense, protecting herself and J.P.’s abused wife Asha.

By David Cranmer

October 4, 2016

Touching and amusing scenes open and close this episode, beginning with Walt (Robert Taylor) and Donna (Ally Walker) getting it on, teenage style in his bronco, to the strains of Bad Company’s “Can't Get Enough.” They had tried to rekindle their lovemaking in Walt’s cabin, but the memories of nearly being killed by Donna’s PTSD…

Longmire 5.06: “Objection” Episode Review

By David Cranmer

October 3, 2016

A sign of a show’s maturation is the opportunity for supporting characters to step out from the shadows of the leads and bask in the limelight for a time. Entering its 5th season, Longmire’s Officer Mathias (Zahn McClarnon) and Jacob Nighthorse (A Martinez) have already had more screen time recently than in years past, and…

Longmire 5.03: “Chrysalis” Episode Review

By David Cranmer

September 28, 2016

Longmire selects some of the best music to punctuate scenes that require no dialogue. Kaleo's mournful “I Can't Go On Without You” plays as Walt (Robert Taylor) gives Dr. Donna Monaghan (Ally Walker) a phone call. The camera’s eye segues from bullet holes that have ventilated Walt's house to Donna reading a paper, “The Psychological…

Longmire 5.02: “One Good Memory” Episode Review

By David Cranmer

September 27, 2016

If the Season 5 premiere of Longmire was a bit slow on the windup, then “One Good Memory” delivers a fastball that wraps up the mystery of the missing Dr. Donna Monaghan (Ally Walker).  It starts nerve-wracking enough for Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) as he hurries in the middle of the night to neighboring Cumberland…
