Exactly. What a Shame…

Yep, that sounds about right…

Now that's more like it. This was the first truly great episode of a mediocre season.

That final confrontation between the two brothers is among the finest scenes I've witnessed on TV. Just brilliant.

Ugh, you're so right, and it hurts…

Man, this show just sucks now. It's like all of the negative elements of Season Four (which there were, admittedly, very few) are now cranked to 11. It has lost the energy and richness of the first three seasons, and doesn't have the amazing drama of the fourth season.

Agreed, but we seem to be in the minority.

Seasons 1-3 were a "meandering slice of life?" Puhleeeez…that was the show at its best. No, it didn't have the OMGZ GRITTY DRAMA, but it was so much richer, funnier, and in my opinion, more poignant. Season Four started laying on false sentimentality that's quite cringeworthy.
