But he wasn't going out. Frank was surviving IMHO. Frank was old school. He would have understood the need to humiliate him and would have allowed them to do so. He knew the game. Frank doesn't throw his life away with his wife waiting.

Agreed. In a scene just last freaking week Frank had managed to give his hard earned clubs up to a Russian mob and then dismantle that mob days later. Now all of a sudden he loses his patience and gets fricking killed by a piece of shite Mexican? The Frank we know would have given up his suits and diamnonds and then skullfricked that whole gang a week later

Exactly. This was Franks's true character.

I find it hard to believe that Tony Jr. was a mastermind behind it all. He seemed too young and coked out to really be that smart. He had high ranking cops and govt officials all working for him behind his dads back? Maybe it was an act and running girls and orgies was just a bonus for those guys but it seemed too easy.

I didn't like VV dying that way but everyone saw it coming some way or another. As soon as CF took that exit he was dead.

I didn't understand the time frame of the women at the end either. RM has all the evidence but waits at least a year before contacting someone to release the story? I'm assuming they are running again at the end. By waiting that long the bad guys have assumed their new roles of power and time has passed. I'm sure it will mostly blow over. Most everybody is either dead or gone.

He was dead either way

I think this is the part where we disagee and thus see the scene differently. I believe Frank knew he was going to live. His actions, as I read them, indicate this to be so.

Frank knows he has to stay alive to garner his revenge. He doesn't head butt the mexican and ensure he dies in the desert.

They dug a grave for him

But again, he wasn't acting like he thought that. He was acting like he thought the $1mil bought him something.

I think you have to lay this entire fiasco at Pizzolato's feet. He read his own press clippings. Thought he was a literary genius. He tried to give us too much. Just too damn much.

Next season needs to be simple. Like a lobster fisherman gets murdered and they send a washed up former FBI agent to solve it. They figure out another loster fisherman did it. The End.

There was a big ole pile of dirt at the location,

Watch it back, it's there

I mean are there pictures of this? I dont remember a grave digging scene or remeber seeing one. Everything in that scene to me indicated they were going to leave him unhurt in the desert alone

---

I don't remember there being a grave either....can you even dig easily in the salt flats?
