Cormac has only appeared by reputation, in references to him during conversations about the Fitzpatricks. This ep was his first appearance in the flesh. Liam you know, of course, along with the cousin (Danny Boyd, I think–not sure about the name), and the Fitzpatrick girl who was Felix’s secret girlfriend (Molly?). We’ve seen these characters in and out of the River Sticks, their pool hall headquarters.
I mention this little family roster because I think–if the show gets the chance to grow–that the Fitzpatricks will become more and more central to the show’s storyline. A big crime family provides almost limitless story possibilities.
All this reminds me: when Keith pulls up at the joint, Cormac acts like he doesn’t recognize him. But Cormac is from Neptune just like his family–he wouldn’t know the former sherriff? Hell, Keith is probably the cop who sent him up the river. Did I miss something, or what? Any clarity on this matter would be welcome
