I'm working my way through the season for the second time and I just can't get over how self-righteous and hard Vicky was on Branch. I liked her character otherwise but man, she just could not cut him a break could she? same with Walt though. it would have been nice for Walt to say to Branch "sorry i didn't believe you and treated you like a crazy person".
shareI was doing the same thing, starting over again to pick up what I missed in the first viewing. Branch was a really good guy and no one cut him a break. He offered to give up the campaign for Cady but she wouldn't commit. Vic acts like she is the senior officer but Ferg and Branch were there long before her. Branch's dad never understood him going to be a deputy instead of working in the big money job. It really is sad that when he needed a friend there was no one to help him and he ended getting killed by his own father. When Branch was really getting obsessed no one offered an ear or a helping hand to get him through it but he was there for his team when they wanted help. I really wish Branch would be alive and Vic was killed. I do understand that Branch is gone after the first book but since nothing else is exactly like the books let's get rid of the Vic and keep the good guy. (Branch is much better to look at Vic is also, I just don't see anything attractive about her at all except big boobs which are in a shirt that is wrinkled and too tight anyway.)
shareBranch deserved to be treated like a crazy person. I know this show isn't known for it's ethical officers but Branch was doing things that were outright illegal after he got shot.
And wasn't it stated taht Branch liked to meander off on legwork unless it was high profile? So why should Vic be THAT respectful? He wasn't that great of a person or a great worker
