Jesus gently caress. I wonder if I could sue Sutter for giving me brain damage. I could feel my IQ drop at least ten points while watching that poo poo.

That said why does every loving episode this season have a stupid as gently caress chase scene in it?

To pad the time out. You just have to write "ten minute chase scene, ends with Jax laying down his bike" and let the director do the rest.

Next week: Clay bends Tara over the table and rapes her in front of the whole club, then shoots Bobby in the face. Jax vows he'll get to the bottom of it.

Sorry, from this point forward any guest stars from other FX shows may only appear in drag with prosthetic boobs.

I would probably go gay for boobied Olyphant.

I'd be fine with Raylan in drag as long as he shot out Jax's knees so he could never bro-walk again.

So if this is the way things went down, why the gently caress is Jax so chummy with Pope while insisting that everyone else has to loving die right the gently caress right now? The goons were just an extension of Pope's whims afterall and if it wasn't those particular guys it would have just been someone else! What the gently caress. I know the club needs the arrangement with Pope at the moment and blah blah blah, but it doesn't make any sense as to why he's out to get the other guys so badly and is casually joking around with Pope and talking about board games.

I think Sutter is trying to set up an "awesome" reveal for the end of the season where we get to see how amazingly machiavellian Jax is. He's being all chummy with Pope so that he'll drop his guard. You might have noticed that the last couple of meetings he's had with Jax he's not had any muscle with him or frisked Jax for weapons. Jax helped the Mayor push Charming heights through, something the Sons have been opposed to from the start, in order to get the brothel set up. The whole point of getting Pope to invest in Charming Heights is so that, right at the very last minute, Jax can kill Pope and the deal falls through.

A decent writer might be able to pull something like that off, but the way Sutter is doing it, it just comes across as contrived bullshit.

The first episode Sutter wrote for The Shield ended with Dutch watching helplessly as Danny, his unrequited crush, made out with Vic Mackey.

He also wrote the episode where Danny and her partner catch some bloke perving through a window, only to find out that he lives there and is watching his wife gently caress some random guy.

for those who are interested, apparantly Dutchboy is in a new series, Last Resort.

I've only seen a commercial for it, so I can't say if it's any good, but Shawn Ryan is behind it so it might be worth a watch.

The pilot is good, the rest of it is varying degrees of loving awful.

Katey Sagal is a good actress and hardly to blame for how the character has been written.

How did Toric just know it was a SOA-sourced gun before the cops have even broken down the crime scene. He confidently knows the plot behind Clay's whole murder framing, and he doesn't know any character in the loving show. Did he read this all off Wikipedia?

lovely writing.

Quick reminder that the guy that murdered his landlord and dismembered a cat before jumping to his death quit the show due to creative differences.

I'm pretty sure the difference was that Sutter thought his actors shouldn't take a shitload of drugs before showing up on set and the guy who played Half-Sack thought the opposite.

Does anyone else think this show has been a little more intentionally humorous the last two or three eps. Happy with the bell, Jax poo poo talking with Nino about him taggin' his mum and stuff?

I thought it was a nice change.

I actually really enjoyed the last episode. No gang politics or stupid CIA poo poo, just a bunch of blokes on bikes riding around and doing stupid violent poo poo. Seemed like a season 1 episode.

Was the entire point of her wearing the wig for several episodes just to have that one scene where she takes it off?

Nah, I'm pretty sure that scene was put in because everyone was taking the piss out of the wig so Sutter came up with a reason for her to take it off.

This always struck me. The One Niners never seemed to need quite that many guns on The Shield.

Given how much business the SoA do I'm pretty sure there are more AK-47s in California than there are on the entire continent of Africa. Their version of LA must give Mogadishu a run for its money.
