4x08 Lifeboat

Whilst a lot was explained, it was more of an episode to pass the time than anything else. Not my favorite episode of the season.

If there’s one thing this show has done consistently well since season 1, it’s tell a story about loneliness.

I don’t think Glenn did it. But there’s definitely more to his character than we know.

This ep is lively (I'm glad the three's actors are along the ride for this one too) and even heartfelt at times, but that almost feels like a spin-off series that happens to have a crossover episode with our main one, even if one of the Westies may be a killer/figure into the killing down the line.

I thought this episode was a nice return to form, getting back on track after the last two that I found a little disappointing. I am a sucker for found family stories, and really enjoyed Griffin Dunne's showcase here. While one portion of the story is definitively wrapped up, there are still many unanswered questions to be dealt with in the final two episodes.
