Longmire: More Frenzy than Freedom

7/25/14: Something weird is happening on "Longmire". I'm not sure if it's a new direction, or misstep, but the installment last week was downright unrecognizable. I don't know which filmatic auteur "they" thought they were channeling (some very weird hallucinogenically-- fueled moments, there), but it isn't any memorable filmmaker I know. It was just plain chaos ( I know, I know, that was the idea), but not in a good way. You don't actually have to create an environment of complete uninterpretable muck to convey frenzy and madness. A little subtlety would have been nice. And, in keeping with the Longmire character...

Shame on whoever let that loose on an unsuspecting viewing audience without a darn good editorial tweak; Walt deserves better than that.
