Longmire: Goodbye Is Always Implied (2017)
Hmmmmm
Thought the first 3 seasons were very good, then show kind of went downhill from there. That being said, I'm giving the finale an 8, which is probably generous. Things I liked: finally getting some resolution with Vic and Walt's feelings for each other, finally getting rid of Malachi, I actually liked the way Jacob Nighthorse's story got wrapped up. Things I didn't like - one thing, really, and it persisted throughout the show. Disclaimer - I have never read the books so I don't know how closely this character resembles the one in the literature, but here goes: I HATE CADY LONGMIRE. Dear God, what a horrible character. I'm not talking about the actress - she's fine and did what she could with her portrayal. But the character was awful! What an idiot! She supposedly grew up in this area but seems to have very little understanding of native life. WTH? Whenever she has a problem she runs to a man to solve it, and all the men in her life treat her like she's 5 years old because she's so naive and needs to be coddled. The ending with her running for sheriff makes no sense whatsoever. Poor decision maker, poor at politics, questionable grasp of the community around her and the law, cries at the drop of a hat, father has to hire someone to keep an eye on her because she can't take care of herself, zero law enforcement experience, yet she runs for sheriff. I can only hope she doesn't win. She'd be better off learning to deal cards and working at the casino except that she's not native and has alienated almost everyone on the rez. I'd say tend bar at the Red Pony but she was lousy at that, too. I don't know if the writers just didn't know what to do with her or what, but I hated the character and the end of her story made absolutely no sense.
I always felt like the final scene should be Walt answering a call on his new cell phone, and was surprised to see that I must have read the writers' minds on that one. I'm telling myself it was Vic giving him a call. I was not weirded out with the relationship between Vic and Walt, it was a slow burn from season 1. And I was happy to see Walt retire because a) he needed to, it was time, and b) he is Vic's boss, so if they were going to pursue a relationship, then one of them needed to resign. And I'm glad it was him and not her.
