That's an interesting possibility, one I hadn't considered. It's hard for me to reconcile the smooth villainy of Big Jim with the amazingly cool Hank from Breaking Bad.

I was definitely bored by last week's ep, and it made me think the show was on its (seemingly eventual) downhill slide, but this week's was much better, especially the reveal at the end. My only hope is that they don't feel the need to have a "thing" every week - a fire, malaria (or whatever).
