After last week's episode I said, "I became really fond of West, and I suspect that other people are right that we're supposed to think of him as a good guy now and let that erase all his creepy stalkeriness and mistreatment of Claire and suchlike from his early episodes, which is definitely problematic."
This episode didn't really do much either way in terms of my liking of him, though obviously the show is continuing to view him sympathetically -- having him rather than Sandra be there when she has her little grief breakdown and be the one who tells her she doesn't really wanna forget her father.
I can't find it now, but I read an LJ entry somewhere today that mentioned the bodycount issue and commented that it looks like West gets to just leave the stage without getting killed off, despite all his shady behavior in the early episodes of this season.
I never had the Grunberg love that a lot of people did, but I don't think I ever actively disliked Matt until last week's episode. As I said in my previous comment, I don't actually want more people to die, I just want to like the people we have better.
