This sounds disappointing, because I'm really enjoying the first few episodes so far :(

I found season 3 a struggle, stopped watching halfway through and powered through about 4 months later.

I like this show, but I do spend a lot of time asking "who the fuck is that?" "what the fuck does that mean?" and "what the hell are they talking about?" :oops:

8 episodes in and I'm enjoying this season more than the last. Still not a top tier show but entertaining enough.

He tries to convince himself that even though he started to drink again, it's under control because he always take the same dosage with the syringe?

That was our guess. That or it's the taste of bourbon w/o it being enough to get drunk.

I thought that was pretty obvious. It's a neurotic way for him to think he's in control of it and can stop it from spiraling out of control. B really needs everything spelled out for him. Shit, he thinks Walter White survived since no one checked the pulse and nodded no.

Clearly, I'm not the only one with these questions. I wasn't even the first to ask it.
