L is for 'Longmire' and 'Lost' (and Loddy)

Longmire and Lost are two of the best shows ever created. Everyone knows about Lost, as it was I believe, the most popular series in the world at one point. I actually watched the whole thing for the first time last year, and loved it. A show you may not have heard about, however, is Longmire.

Longmire is a modern Western, set in Wyoming. I know I'm usually a sci-fi freak, but this one is special to me because it reminds me of when I grew up on a farm in Central California. The setting is gorgeous! The show is about Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor), a Sheriff who returns to work one year after the death of his wife. His deputies, Victoria "Vic" Moretti (Katee Sackhoff) and Branch Connally (Bailey Chase), help him investigate unusual crimes. In a way, it is a combination of two of my favorite things, as it looks like home, and also stars Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar Galactica, one of my favorite sci-fi shows!

I also have to mention that Lou Diamond Phillips plays Henry Standing Bear, Walt's dry-witted best friend. He was also on another of my absolute top favorite shows of all time, which you will find on letter "S."

Humorous scenes such as these are common on Longmire
Season 3 airs on A & E in Summer 2014.
I've also made this gif available on this Tumblr post.

So Henry has a one liner in the next ep of #Longmire that tickles me so, I may need testicle clamps to keep a straight face.

On a lighter note--All this #BundyRanch hubbub is making me restless for the first episode of #Longmire's new season. Love them cowboys ;-)

I know this is a bit longer than my usual A to Z Challenge posts, but an old nickname of mine also falls under "L." A friend of mine went on a "Lovey" kick after hearing a character on TV call all of her friends "Lovey." One day, my brother asked why she was calling me "Loddy," and the name stuck. She began calling me "Loddy" from that day forward, and I called her "Lodster" once in awhile to protest.
