McNulty, who would've thought your schemes would've gone out too far. It totally makes sense for his character, as he's back to his alcoholic post-Stringer obsession self and I don't see this as a stretch at all. I've read some think this shift in motive is unreal but to that I say look at Hamsterdam, both ideas are out there but totally plausible for their characters. Again, Andre Royo as Bubbs, is phenomenal and it's a shame he was never nominated. His role, handling depression, is superb; and we seem him try to fill the hole that his dope obsession once did. One thing I will say, this season already feels a bit rushed, as the season is shortened to 10 episodes. 2 episodes in and we already find a change in Jimmy. Another great episode.
