My Take
I was disappointed with In Harm’s Way. It felt disjointed and disconnected. A lot of good things happened in spite of the murder and mayhem, and progress was made on several fronts: Walt’s storming over Fiona’s ramparts, Gail and Tommy both wondering how they got where they did, a new friend off whom to bounce ideas (I suspect this new character will be appearing in future installments), and the beginning of a new relationship between Walt and Tommy…surprisingly.
Possibly due to a new perspective with his father. A father who is taking more time for his daughters.
I did enjoy the tracking sequences. What an incredible skill to have!
And, in spite of all this, I felt as though we went nowhere…I’m suspecting because all the tension has gone out…
