Last weeks cliffhanger ending planted two assumptions in viewers headsor at leastthisviewers head: 1.
Eugene Jones was shot dead by a Baxter-connected cop at a bus depot while trying to flee New Orleans.
That cop was named Walter Beckwith.
Well, it turns out neither of those assumptions were true.
(The show perhaps wisely opts against showing how this could have happened.
All we need to know is that it did.)
But thats the fatal flaw with Talking Killer types: They talk too much to kill.
But even that is rooted in political favors.
Thats the sort of meaningful plotting that the show has often lacked this season.
Amidst all this turmoil, Jimmy Baxter is feeling improbably great.
(In this field, apparently a knuckle sandwich doubles as severance pay.)
Big Mo gets a cool reception at the wake, despite her offer to cover funeral expenses.
(So the money that killed my brother is supposed to bury him now?)
Lots of connections this season between this series andThe Godfather.
Thank you, cool priest.
She acquits herself well behind the camera.
