am I the only one disappointed that Linder survived?

For one thing, I couldn't care less about him as a character.

But also, there is no way he would have survived a wound like that, especially considering that he'd been bleeding out for god knows how many hours.

That turn of events was simply laughable.

In the universe of The Bridge abdominal gunshot wounds are trivial events. Eleanor was shot there and was chatting with Sonya and driving around with Buckley later that day, or perhaps it was the next day. It took Hank a couple of extra days to recover as he was shot multiple times but it wasn't long before he was winning gunfights. So the fact that Linder was shot at close range, by a large caliber handgun, which presumably fired hollow-point bullets, received no medical attention for hours, while he bled from his wound and from his mouth, was tossed in the back of a truck to be bounced around, is certainly no reason why he couldn't be up and about and taking Eva dancing a couple of days later.
