Tonight epic fail in my book. Kept talking about the woman Holley's guns as registered or not. Some one didn't do their homework.
Yep. I had a talk with my spouse about the "registered firearm".
Hollyweird just doesn't understand how this country works!!

I watched it. Wasn't impressed. Don't think it will make it to a third season.

Watched it with half interest last year. Sorta hollyweird corny with the indian playing such a steriotyped character. Too many personal issues take away from the western cops and robbers theme.
Haven't been able to get into it this year.
Now I have been infected with "Justified"! Went back and recorded past series and have just about caught up!

I don't watch regular fiction TV shows, but watched a few of these. I actually like Lou Diamond Phillips a lot in this. But the stereotype of him of course being a great tracker just because he plays an indian is there. Thank god Longmire carries a stag gripped 1911 instead of a Glock! And there's a slowness to the pace of this show which I like. It fits with the wide openness of Wyoming and Montana, if that makes sense. As opposed to CSI Whatever. And is this sheriff election going on forever? He's out there saving the day catching mass murderers and solving all these crimes while a guy working with him seems to just undermine everything.

For many years now tv police fiction usualy is geared to big city police departments. I dont claim to know just how sophisticated poor rual countys are doing nation wide but I did know the one I grew up in many years ago in wisconsin where a relative was the sheriff. Even there it started as a one man show in the dawn of my memory and with the years it went from the sheriff with one deputy to maybe now days a department of 40 to 60ish!
Longmire really should be geared to the 40s, no later than the mid 1950s. I dont know if a small department of a sheriff and 3 deputys exist in any county or state anymore. Anyone here live in a county like that?
I think its a pretty accurate pace of the way things were done when I was a kid but not so much in this era. Hey iggy, what do you think?

In the county where I live in NE Wyoming, the sheriff has four or five deputies.
In the county I grew up in back in South Dakota the sheriff has two deputies. They mostly stay in town unless called and that was fine with most people.

I guess I must be dense!!! I didn't like it, but so many do, It must be me....I thought to many personel problems and situations...I liked Wyoming when I was there, sort of a wilderness after you get out of Chyenne, that does't include Rock Springs. What can you say about Rock Springs that wasn't covered..... In it's day I think Rock Springs was vieing to be anoth Phoenix City, or Newport Ky. (the old days) It did get interesting for a while.......

Maybe it's you and me, but I totally agree. Too convoluted with too many plots and sub-plots. Some characters are kinda interesting but many are not. Had it set up to record the series but canceled it.
I like Lou Diamond Philips but that all knowing, super sensitive, politically correct, indignant Indian character is a bit too much!

We wanted it to work. Its a modern western, had hope of classic guns in it, cowboys, a couple indians, a hot woman deputy, the rural west, a good old boy sheriff fighting his old ghost demons with a daughter that doesnt understand him, a young buck after his job, a small under funded department, a big city black detective nipping at his heels. Why aint it working? Most of us can relate to some of those things. Maybe we are used to more far fetched plots, action, stunts, sex kittens, flawless heros, dirty talk, and unlimited funds for filming more of all the above. I dont know. Maybe as far fetched as some of the plots are its still probley still too realistic than we were hopeing for?

I to like Lou
Diamond Phillips I even liked him in the movie with Meg
Ryan and he was an *** in the movie. In a career like law enforcement we all have had some interesting cases and risks. However the drama didn't and couldn't go on day after day and week after week or they wouldn't be anybody do the damn job...Most people no matter what the vocation, have termoil in their jobs, life, and some even have danger (I give you the recent firemen and lady that gave their lives recently} I have always said about any job with danger, it is days, weeks, months, and even years of semi boring daily routine, interuped now and then by sheer terror.....Not often on a weekly basis and for 40min. a week...Thank God !!! I mostly liked the Waumbaug stuff because it showed the gritty underbelly of law enfo4rcement.."The good bad and ugly" Unless things have changed in the last 10 years it is still the basically the same.....Anybody that makes it trough life these days and takes care of themselves and theirs is a hero in my book.....I fear for the young....In my 74 years I was lucky I had a Dad and then a D.I. to kick me in the butt to get me motivated...Sorry to bore you...sometimes I wonder....

I saw enough of it too say...
Another new/old west fantasy picture show.
A long way from the real deal, but that's hollywood
And, that female deputy's roll doesn't respect the uniform very much...
Her character comes across more as the tubetop/hotpants type anyways

It seems to me as though the writers are writing the part for the Starbuck character from the remake of Battlestar Galactica. When deputy Morelli punched out the FBI agent, that was just the sort of move that Starbuck would have pulled.

Seems to be an awful lot of crime for such a sparsely populated, under-patrolled county. If I lived there, I'd move out.
