Longmire: Season 3, Episode 1 “The White Warrior” (B+)
I’ll admit that I had completely forgotten what happened in this show’s second season finale and that I would have missed this premiere had I not been carefully perusing the listings for the return of some of my favorite and most random shows. Fortunately, this show seems primed for a tempestuous third season, as events from the finale are proving to have more lasting impacts that will change how things work dramatically. Walt sewing Branch up when he found him and before he brought him to the ranch clinic was a sign of loyalty to someone who hasn’t really been a friend recently, but it doesn’t seem to have been interpreted that way by anyone other than the doctor. Branch’s father was certainly not happy about it, and assembling his gun in front of Walt was a sure sign that he’s ready to do something to avenge his son, and he doesn’t care who gets caught in the crossfire. Mathias is also being particularly antagonistic, but Branch being so stubborn about having seen a dead man shoot him isn’t helping matters either. Henry’s ex-girlfriend stealing his money is bad news, and him being in jail is going to seriously detract from Walt’s ability to think clearly. Fortunately, Walt did open up to Vic about what happened with his wife, and so hopefully that support system should prove helpful to him as he tries to put all the pieces back together of everything that’s transpired and thrown his county in disarray.

What a great opening episode for season 3 of Longmire: Henry in jail (girlfriend took his money so good luck public defender); Branch shot & his father is holding Walt responsible (Walt stitched him up with fishing line while Branch was tasting the color green); Vic in shock by Walt confiding in her about how his wife really died; and Ruby looking so confused ... This is THE show to watch with great writers and a cast with someone for everyone to favor, love and follow.
