I've been streaming and enjoying the TV show 'Longmire', having not seen it when it was on.

But it's become a bit weird, for me.

In season 5, episode 2, Walt Longmire is shot and knocked unconscious with a blow on the head.
He wakes up in the hospital with a concussion (and gunshot wound).

He immediately checks himself out of the hospital to chase after the bad person.
(Repeat --> he has a gunshot wound and concussion)

Also we discover that his deputy, Vic, is in love with him, and displays a lot of jealousy regarding a female doctor who Walt is interested in.

I guess by season five they were running out of ideas?

I just watched season 5, episode 3.
Apparently Walt has made a full recovery from his injuries, but Vic is still very jealous.

1. I enjoyed the entire series. While some episodes were a little flat, the scenery was

always good.

5. "the scenery was always good"

That's New Mexico.

"The story is set in northern Wyoming, but the series has been filmed in several locations in New Mexico ..."

2. I never could stand the Vic character from the beginnning.

Just once, I wish they would have a strong female character who is good at her job and does not have a love interest at work. Not only is it predictable, it really is demeaning to professional women.

6. Cady and Ruby are like that, but get your point.

3. Keep watching I think you will like the ending. One gun shot can't keep

Longmire down. Matt Dillon was shot over a hundred times.

7. Funny I was having a text conversation with my brother at the same time and he was also disappointed

with the fifth season.

4. I was disappointed in the ending. I won't go into why

because it would spoil it for you.

8. I hate it when they wrap things up but do not stay true to the characters.

It is slick and easy but not true to the story.

9. I agree with you. Season 5 really lost it.

Seems like it often happens with series. The writers just seem to go off the rails and then the show goes off the air because the audience quits watching. Same thing happened to Person of Interest. Started out great and then went veering off into some sort of global conspiracy thing.
