Goodbye Is Always Implied

I loved this series, great modern western. The music (and a lot of guest stars) echoed Friday Night Lights. A lot of characters to keep up with arcing over several episodes. Vic spent the whole last episode like a nagging wife, all of a sudden worried about daddy/Walt getting shot even though it's their job and he's her boss. I would get fired for that esp. If I'm packing. Loved Zach's character and would've loved 6 seasons of those love scenes - WOW, I don't care who he sleeps with, he's yummy. Henry Standing Bear cleaned up nice at the end and A Martinez as Nighthorse was the perfect villain trying to retroactively do the right thing. Graham Greene actually was an excellent villain. Didn't like all the white people bashing all thru the show and racial rhetoric - can't we all just get along? And yes you get the bail money back, the casino isn't Enron.

But left several unresolved. What happened to Travis?

Season 6 was not Longmire's strongest, to put it mildly -- but we'd watched it this far and vowed to finish it.

I don't want to spoil the final episode for anyone... but if I could unsee it and watch it again, I would stop halfway through. If you care for these characters and want to keep a fond opinion of the show, I suggest you do the same.

As soon as previous story arches are concluded -- you'll know when you reach that point -- stop. Back out of the directory and clear it from your queue. Because what follows is... well, it's not good. Two short, mostly dialogue-free scenes are nice, but not worth the damage the other scenes cause.

This is just my opinion, of course, but: You've been warned.

I want to know what cell service Walt has to be able to get a call in the middle of nowhere. If I could only have a moment like Walt and Vic had on the porch, very touching and emotional. Then Walt's talk with Katy, passing on the baton to trusted friend.

I just saw this last episode of this wonderful series, many years after it ended. Personally I found the ending satisfactory. I especially loved the scene on the cabin porch between Vic and Walt where they expressed their real feelings.

Truly a remarkable series.
