Yeah, with this one it seems like a series of fuck-ups, one right after another with seemingly no light at the end of the tunnel.
I love it still, but this season is definitely different than the past 4.
I'm curious whether all the fractures and cracks will fill in with the next several episodes. It feels like something's missing. As I'm sitting here thinking about it, that missing factor might be a concrete antagonist. Every other season, the lines were near black-and-white between good guys and bad guys/protagonist and antagonist.
This season the lines between those roles are blurring so much that it's become difficult to stay familiar with the characters and falling in-step with the flow of the show and the story it's trying to tell.
