The Shannara Chronicles - Chosen

I still remember when MTV played music videos. So watching a sci-fi series like The Shannara Chronicles seemed more than a little out of place. However, at least for someone that hasn’t read Terry Brooks‘ The Sword of Shannara Trilogy, I was pleasantly surprised by what I found.

Longmire - Highway Robbery

Bringing back two of the former deputy candidates, “Highway Robbery” sends Walt (Robert Taylor) on an investigation into a highway robbery and murder that left one dead and one unreliable witness (David Dean Bottrell) to the crime. The episode deals with one of the primary themes of the show in examining forgiveness versus vengeance as Walt discovers the crippled survivor of the attack was put in that condition by his dead “friend.” Despite marveling at the man’s ability to befriend the person responsible for his condition, Walt’s own experience with revenge makes the sheriff unable to completely buy the lone witness’ account of events.
