What I’m Watching: Longmire

Longmire: Season 2, Episode 3 “Death Came in Like Thunder” (B+)

This episode featured guest appearances by three actors that I might describe as TV royalty, as in people you’d recognize from their frequent and assorted TV appearances but whose names you likely wouldn’t know. Xander Berkeley, of “24” and “Nikita” fame, was nearly unrecognizable as the green-card matchmaker who did just about everything to make himself look guilty. The two surviving Vayas brothers were portrayed by Henri Lubatti, who was terrific on “Sleeper Cell,” and Brad William Henke, most recently seen on “Justified.” This multicultural business battle was very interesting to watch, and, as always, the road to the truth was filled with compelling twists and turns. Branch is getting himself in over his head with Jacob Nighthorse, and Branch’s conversation with Walt about his information was yet another instance of Walt rightfully lecturing to Branch about the ethics of the office. Ferg apologizing awkwardly to Walt about his presence at the campaign event was also interesting since we don’t usually see Ferg’s more serious side. Cady’s trip to Denver proved expectedly unproductive, but it did result in a shocking revelation, all but confirmed by Detective Fales’ prime suspect himself: Henry was the one who hunted down and killed the murderer of Walt’s wife. We’ve only ever seen Henry be there for Walt, and, though he disapproves of what Henry did for legal reasons, I have no doubt that Walt will step up and make sure that he does whatever it takes to ensure that his friend doesn’t go to jail for killing a bad guy.
