[spoil] That car accident scene was like a "gotcha!" moment. Everyone's all "Ohh sooo that's what happened" then, nope, she walks away unscathed. Kind of a troll job. But I'm glad they didn't go that route. Too easy/cliche.

She did have breast cancer last season, so you could assume it had something to do with that, but then again that kid Bridge is now banging (of course she is) seems like he was involved somehow.

I for one, am not upset with this direction. Other than Bridget, Abby was the most annoying character, but she wasn't as bad last season. Connor is annoying too, hope he stays at school for awhile.[/spoil]

I just hope that they don't make a focal point of Abby's death, and drag it out all season. Dead Abby is just as annoying as Live Abby. She needs to be Gone Abby.

It's kind of weird, cause season 4 ended looking like they were gonna turn into some power couple with Ray doing all the boss **** and his wife would stand behind his criminal life all the way.

Now season 5 starts and oh she's dead. Okay then

Pretty boring premiere overall I'd say. Especially don't care for Bunch being a luchador.

Also, idk what's going on a few posts above but I'm not gonna start writing in spoiler tags in season 5 of this show lol

I stand by my contention that anyone combing the thread of a show they aren't up to date on can fly a kite. To add to your comment, this must be the least trafficked thread for a show that's lasted five seasons in the history of this site.

I definitely hope dead Abby doesn't just mean incessant flashbacks to some idyllic version of their life all season. That's way worse than normal Abby.

It's kind of weird how this show doesn't have that much buzz. Especially since the first 2-3 seasons were brilliant IMO. Didn't season 1 win Emmy for best drama?

Abby had a bump on her head from the accident. Brain aneurism?
I don't think its cancer related because Bridgette found Abby in the bed. I would think they would playout the cancer scenario?
Suicide?

I don't know. I think the scene where Ray found Abby was well done but I was pissed they didn't show what happened. I am sure we will find out soon.

Suicide was the first thing that came to mind and that Bridget found her. But then I thought Abby doesn't seem like the type to commit suicide. We'll definitely find out at some point. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I was thinking the rehashed House of Cards idea that Ray somehow got Abby moved up in a trial or treatment thus bumping that kid out (unless I completely misread that situation).

I hope so. I don't want to see this dragged out all season with just random Abby flashbacks, but I think that's what it will be.

This has gotten better with each episode I think. Still not too sure of the whole direction this is going. A bit all over the place.

I thought episode 3 was kind of boring compared to 1 & 2, but realize it was most likely just setting up the rest of the season.

After 4 episodes that's how I feel about this season thus far. IMO they should've dealt with the Abby storyline in episode 1 and that should've been the end of it. Looks like the Abby story may continue all season though.

To me Ray just seems like a secondary character thus far this season. We need more Ray being Ray which what makes this show great.

Anyway looking at the previews I'm interested in what Avi's storyline will be this season.

Not liking this season that much. I do look forward to Avi, though. That has the potential to be good.

Also, it's kind of annoying how inept Bunchy is.

Yea the Bunchy thing was so stupid and devoid of logic.

Why just walk around with all that money? Go to the bank first then get the sandwich, and even if you must get the sandwich first then leave the bag in the car.

Only reason I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt so far is this show always seems to start slow, at least IMO.... Definitely agree the Abby storyline should have been mostly wrapped in up E1, or E2 at the latest. Not enjoying the fact it's still going on at all.

Yeah, that really seemed apparent to me in the last episode and was quite annoying.

Hard to feel bad for Bunch at this point, but as soon as he said he had a million in cash in the safe you knew it was either going to not be there when he went to get it, or he was somehow going to lose it while taking it to the bank.
