Would it have been different if Burris or some unknown person had tipped Ray to kill the wrong guy? You don't need Frank specifically for that. Frank was always on a different path than everyone else and we constantly had to hit the brakes on the main plot, listen to him opine about Stan, having kids, his childhood or how he didn't want to be a gangster. Again, I think Vaughn did the best anyone could do with this role, but it took away from the real story. Because we spent all this time with Frank, Jordan, Stan, Blake and company, we never had time to learn about the real mystery and the last 2 episodes ended up forcing 4-5 episodes of content down our throat to tie up all the loose ends.
