He IS going to get fatter as the season goes on. Earlier in the series he refused to gain weight for the role but now he's going to. I think they just want to focus on his festering disgusting leg a bit more as the reason why he's going to get so fat, which is what they did all in the second episode.
I don't actually get SHO so I have to download the episodes, and 1 & 2 were available, but I thought it started this weekend, so am I a week ahead of everyone else?
