I thought the episode meandered a little bit, but it was still an excellent episode with some excellent scenes. Contrary to what kioshk says, I think Jon picking on the Senator was apropos. He is a sonofabch. That Gulf water was an ugly azz brown.
SK, and his trolling rankings. Tawney is both an excellent character, and one of the best written characters on the show. For you to rank her at the bottom just proves you have no soul.
It was also nice to get a full timeline explanation that we're at 7 weeks. It helps make the ending of Trey not be as bad, since time's gone nowhere.
