a5c7b9f00b Walt&#39;s obsession with Jacob leads to more tension with Cady. Vic testifies against Gilbert. Walt&#39;s anger erupts at the Red Pony. &quot;Writers Psychosis&quot; is what happens when a successful series reaches the point that the ratings start to drop. Rather than bite the bullet and go out gracefully (like Banshee did – great show!) the producers turn to the writers and essentially &quot;unleash&quot; them. The writers dutifully toss out whatever template worked up til that point, and try to find &quot;hot buttons&quot; to hook the viewer.<br/><br/>IT ALMOST NEVER WORKS.<br/><br/>Back when this was the &quot;Walt Longmire Mysteries&quot; with a new mystery every week, this was a wonderful and brilliant show.<br/><br/>Ironically in this episode Cassidy Freeman lectures Walt on his need for therapy because his obsession with one of the characters has made him a less effective lawman.<br/><br/>SHE SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THE LECTURE TO THE WRITERS.<br/><br/>There is no coming back from this sort of damage. Even if in the series&#39; finale, it turns out that Walt was right, Nighthorse was a villain, in bed with the mob, killed JFK, flew a plane into the Twin Towers … it is too late. An entire season has been wasted and this series is nothing compared to what it once was.
