Says the “old married guy” ; )
Not only is that horrifying, but they posted a pic with the article on Nick Spaling. They’re both blondes, but Spals has brown eyes.
He cut off his kevorka ROR! Isn’t that what you always said about him?
You can tell I am spent today. They posted the WRONG pic with the article on Nick Spaling. That is a pic of Colin Wilson.
Well I don’t know what google docs are so....
Did you catch Longmire this week? I was feeling so sorry for Branch. And then, WHAAAAT? How could Barlow do that??? And Nighthorse needs his comeuppance, that is for sure.
It’s like Word, without the price tag.
Yes, I did-it was a great cliffhanger! I saw Branch close his shotgun, and he was holding it, but his father had his set by his side-not ready to shoot-while he was sitting there calmly telling Branch he could be replaced, unlike a fortune. Considering Branch is wacko with PTSD, that wasn’t bright.
Walt had put his Winchester in his truck, and thinks Nighthorse masterminded his wife’s murder, and the scene ends with a shot and a falling clay pigeon, so I’m going to wonder who shot who, or did not for months...
I also LMAO at Walt’s scamming those deputies when he and Henry were taking evidence from that guy Beck’s coffin/body, and even getting them to help with the theft. I love that show, because the mysteries surrounding the cases are entertaining and challenging to figure out.
It was a great episode. But we were left wondering, did Barlow shoot his son? Since he set off the clay pigeon and startled Branch to make him look behind him. Walt and Henry are great foils for each other, they know each other so well.
He put the car away and got out a plane. Buffy really went after that.
I’m trying to piece it together-can’t resist the temptation of that.
Barlow had his gun with the butt of it set on the ground in that scene and he was sitting, blabbing stuff that gets you killed-Branch was standing and had his shotgun in his hands, breech closed, ready to shoot-so he could have reacted a lot faster than Barlow. But all you saw was Barlow’s boot set off the pigeon, you heard a shot, then the pigeon fell to the ground.
The next scene showed an owl in the daylight-in Indian and Hispanic cultures, the lechuza in daytime is a warning of death by evil/treachery. I’ll be surprised if no one got shot, but that show leads you down rabbit trails like Hitchcock did...
Walt’s Winchester was on the seat of the truck, so it looks as if he was going after Nighthorse with it-but he looked as if he had some kind of a premonition as he was by the truck, got in and hurried off.
I want to know what happens-I’m going to try to find out which book that is taken from...
Husky girl destroyed one of those remote control choppers when she was a pup-MrT5 was just sure she wouldn’t chase after it...
We knew somebody had died, by the owl’s appearance. I will watch it again because I thought I saw Branch spin and look behind him. And poor Hector. All he ever did was exact revenge on people who hurt the innocent.
I felt bad about Hector, too-not all enforcers are bad.
I’ll watch it again on Sunday-the next time it will be shown on DirecTV-I don’t have my recording stuff set up here-to see what details I might have missed.
What if launching that clay pigeon was a signal to someone else lurking close by-maybe with a shotgun?
After all, we know now that Barlow is capable of just about any crime for his own gain-and if he blew away his own son with a shotgun at point blank range, I doubt any alibi would fly, money or no-especially with Walt. It would have to look like an accident-something that can happen to sport shooters-it wouldn’t be the first time a gun range or hunting accident turned out to be murder. Nighthorse has no use for Branch, so I’m sure he’d loan another of his soldiers to Barlow for the deed-maybe that is a contingency plan he and Barlow were talking about in the surveillance video Branch got-just in case Branch proved too nosy or uncooperative... ...
Oooo, now that would be another twist in this tale. I hadn’t considered that possibility.
oh my god
