I haven't liked him since the first season. The main reason I keep watching is for the grand episode where all the threads come unraveled and he gets a bullet to the head.

I actually enjoyed this episode, though I'm still waiting for an A-grade episode from this show. I thought this was the case of, much like last week, wisely using news stories to reflect things about the characters, rather than bifurcating the two. The latter creates a situation wherein we get half a show about the
