We were discussing this also, and I'm thinking that Branch killed or at least wounded his dad. The dad had emptied his gun before he sat down--I noticed that he put the empty shells in his pouch and didn't reload--but Branch did load his gun. I think they're trying to lead us to think Branch is dead but I'm not so sure. You see the bird fly and Branch turn to look but then.........
So would poor Branch then be on trial for killing his dad in the next season? Or would he use the Cheney defense, lol??
I can't figure out from what we've seen, why Connelly would have killed the wife either. Martha had cancer and was going to die anyway, so why kill her? Unless more on this will be revealed next season. Or the guy is just such a privileged a-hole, and hated Longmire so much he wanted to drive him over the edge. (Shades of McRaney's George Hearst in Deadwood!!)
I thought the scene with Walt letting his wife's ashes go was pretty touching.
It's awful that we'll have to wait until next June for more! (Assuming they'll do another season, which I think is planned.) And, finally, what the heck is with all the commercials in this show? Good grief, it was about 10 mins of commercials to 10 mins of story.
