Thank you for this. I felt similarly, although I must confess I loved the first episode. The fact that it so powerfully demonstrated the power of memory and trauma, largely using moods without even conveying plot, kind of amazed me. But too many Fek scenes in this season. Too many cameos. And if Carmy really has gone the entire season without picking up the phone to apologize to Claire, I'm not even rooting for him anymore.
