a5c7b9f00b After a car accident, Vic and her husband Sean are captured by a survivalist who is also a suspect connected with sheriff Longmire&#39;s wife&#39;s murder, and Longmire is forced to work with Ed Gorski to get them out. Somewhere deep in the bowels of the IMDb you will find a series review of Longmire by this writer, and, the record will clearly show, it is an excellent review. (IE, the show is rated excellent, the quality of the review of course is in the eye of the beholder.) Significantly the review was written early on during a viewing of Season 1. What innocent times those were! Very much in the tradition of the typically dry but character-driven English mysteries, which change from week to week, the show was astonishing for what it was not. It was not showy, it was not over the top, the writing was not manipulative, and you did not necessarily need to watch each episode in succession to appreciate the next one.<br/><br/>Well those days are gone.<br/><br/>As soonthe producers realized they had a hit on their hands they did what ever every production company since the dawn of TV has done- they changed up the formula to juice the audience, much like you would juice an addict. Of course in the process the essence of the show disappeared, but no matter. In the pursuit of the higher dollar for residuals and digital rights, all&#39;s fair.<br/><br/>This episode is terrible and I wonder if the other reviewers who liked it even bothered to watch the first season? Cross a daytime soap opera with LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and you will find that you have left Longmire&#39;s quaint little county and are now in Profitville, USA.<br/><br/>Ugh. This episode delivered so much of what I cant wait to see be fleshed out more on the show. The backdrop of the episode being that Vic and her husband are held hostage by a survivalist cult in the woods while trying to take a romantic getaway to save their failing marriage. But the real meat and potatoes of the episode is Vic&#39;s ever rising feelings for Walt! Want spoilers you say?!! OK well there were 2 main instances in the episode in which i use to support my claim. 1. When Vic and her husband we&#39;re locked up in cellar by the insane cult leader Chance…he dropped a body bag down in the cellar with them. Vic proceeds to rush to the body bad and goes completely catatonic at the possibility of it being Walt. &quot;It&#39;s Love!&quot; Her husband notices thiswell and doesn&#39;t seem all to happy or surprised by it either. 2. Walt comes to save the day and gets Vic and her husband out of harms way, while staying behind to have a good ol western stand off with the crazed cult leader Chance. Camera pans in on Vic&#39;s face while she is being driven away …and listens to the gun shots in the distance. Shes crying yet again at the possibility that Walt may not make it out alive. What does she do, you ask? Well this is Vic…she gets out the freakin car and makes her way back to Walt. If shes too late to save him , she&#39;ll definitely make whoever killed the man she loves pay. I can&#39;t wait for Walt and Vic to become an official couple on the show!
