Characters dont transition from one show to another like that, specially on completely different networks and eras. In the first episode, Henry is still being held by kidnappers (led by Malachi) on the Crow reservation and might die if not found, but is finally freed by Walt with the help of the Crow medicine woman. I loved Vics line when Walt was apologizing for punching her and she said Seriously its the best thing thats happened to me all week. Longmire picks up the lone wolf who has been out in the cold for a majority of this season, desperately trying to convince anyone whod listen that the White Warrior was alive. Was it a salute to Joe Tuck, the driver who died, a toast to the season, a toast to the audience, a bit of all three? I have this theory that Barlow and Walts relationship is much more complicated than its been said and that Marthas murder had more reasons behind it than just throwing Walt off his game to get Branch to the Sheriffs office. It took place primarily in Las Vegas, New Mexico, the town shown in the series. Bailey Chase and Katee Sackhoff certainly deserve some recognition for their intense scenes. I expect that the writers will stick him back in the Sheriffs Office though. Thanks for letting me vent. [6] Netflix released the sixth and final season on November 17, 2017.

Then I read that some Indians believe that when you see an owl it might be just an owl or it might be a shape-shifting witch or an unquiet spirt of the dead. Unquiet spirit of the dead resonated with me. Ed, I neglected in my recent comment to thank you for the name of the music at the opening of Ashes.
