I'm wondering though, what the hell does Tara do now? Last I remember her hands got hosed up from that kidnapping, then she freaked out and hosed them up more when Wendy came around again. So it seemed being a doctor was done with. Are her hands better now, or has she resigned herself to Old Ladydom?

When she's not smoking some illicit substance in a montage, she's kind of taken over Unser's role of being the go-to character for off-camera stuff.

That is, when she's not being Gemma's retarded stooge.

Y'know, I wonder if it was Charlie's idea to browalk that hard or if he was directed to browalk that hard. Either way, how would either of them come to that conclusion?

I'm not sure where her character is supposed to be going at this point. Beating a lady with a pipe does not sound like her at all.

I doubt Kurt Sutter does either.

Since I hate myself, I recently blew through the first three seasons on Netflix. There was definitely some evolution of the browalk going on. It seems like Hunnam had it down by the third season.

The actor would sometimes browalk like that on Queer As Folk, so I'm pretty sure that's just his normal mode of brocomotion.

Haven't been keeping up with the show really or reading the thread but finally got around to the prison episode and found it surprisingly good. The whole time you knew Opie was going to die and that he had finally found a way out.

Then the very next episode Sutter has to loving throw it in your face by having Jax say it.

Ughhh

Also really appreciated the subtle details to make sure the choreography and stunts were handled completely realistically, like when the motorcycle sideswiped a car and the car was the one that got the worse of it, only to have said motorcycle later fall victim to the ankle of a 90lb girl.

So, did anything happen in the last episode? Jax made a deal with Nero, Jemma and Tara tagteamed Nero's "bottom bitch" in a catfight, and Opie is in a box.

That is a whole lot of nothing for 42 minutes of TV.

I especially like how Sutter was talking up poo poo about how Opie's death would be felt all throughout the rest of the season. And then nobody gave a poo poo except when Opie is Dead scenes came up and they looked sad for 20 seconds. Then they went back to it like it was just another episode.

Which of course it was.

We go from "Opie no!" :cry: to "Wacky hijinks with special guest star Ashley Tisdale!" :iamafag: in the span of a week. The scene at the table where the club deals with Opie's death should be powerful and emotional, but instead it's just another exposition dump.

The Shield spent the next three episodes after Lem's death dealing directly with the fallout, and the ramifications were felt for the rest of the series. Opie's death is treated as an afterthought if that.

Its funny because they said that that's exactly what they wanted to happen with Opie's death but it feels like it's just "oh poo poo he's gone, welp!"

I was expecting the next episode to have some kind of major planning exposition. Jax talking to Terra about what he wants to do with the club, talking to the club about plans for revenge, something more than "we have to get back on our feet"

They could get back on their feet while planning something that starts now but no it's more important that we deal with Gemma Tera drama and poo poo. Soap Opera of Anarchy.

I do say boyz, we got us a right an' proper WAAAAGH! on our hands.
Man... It seems that since season 1 they have always had to "get back on their feet". I mean I get it, without conflict there is no drama, but you'd think that with Juice(yes hes a no good rat) who can apparently hack into the police databases and such, and other "smart" or at least cunning criminals under their thumb, that they would have found other avenues that could make them a lot of money in addition to coke/gun running and the porno/escort biz.

Always trying to "earn straight" while being the mules for the poo poo that can get them all killed, never the true masters of their own destiny, which is what I thought being in a biker gang was all about...

I wonder if I can even hang around with this show long enough to see them horribly wrap up the CIA/Cartel deal with the Irish, HOPEFULLY kill clay off, and "become whole"(how are you going to do that when half of your guys get picked off in 5 years? Only the bloodiest conflicts between the Hells Angels and the Mongols poo poo was THAT bad.)


If they really existed as a criminal organization, I would probably read their Wikipedia entry and go "wow they are some dumb fucks".

It's funny, the club is basically going through its death throes and the chaos of going from prison to brothel raids to a member's funeral in one day could be played for a sort of overwhelming emotional tilt, like everything's crashing down around them at once, but Sutter's sort of just winging it so the whole thing is like you said, another thing to get the story from point A to point B.

4 had potential (even with that :bang: Juice storyline) until deus ex machina made 95% of the season irrelevant.

But really, really the worst thing about 4 is watching 3 to get there, because :wtc:.
