The two dumbest parts about this episode were the ham handed reveal that he isn't just a pimp...he's a pimp with a heart of gold! (slow pan to sign on building), and Tara's "BUT YOU HAVE SONS! . . . oh." Oh don't mind me, just tooling around town with a wanted gang member. Whoops, forgot I had to stop off and awkwardly hit my disabled son with a teddy bear for several seconds. Better go do that immediately.

Where the hell did he get twenty large like that?

He was building a cage to keep his kids in before he remembered that Naked Mommy could be counted on to neglect them instead. And this whorehouse thing kind of bothers me too, I just know that they're going to forget Kara Kara like it never happened and decide that they need to get back in the sex business. Hell, maybe Bobby can even sleep with Jimmy Smits too. And the fact that they're just hanging out in the lobby of that whorehouse is stupid too, like, don't mind a whole biker gang chillaxing in your nice lobby. We're just going to smoke weed in here and try to console a grieving psychopath, maybe have a wedding. That's it. Then we're out of your hair.

Oh, and another thing. So Opie sees lights outside his house and grabs a gun, realizes it's the cops at the door so he stuffs it in his pants and opens the door to Sheriff Hardass and somehow doesn't go down on a felon in possession of a handgun charge right then and there? Bosh. Bosh I say. They're going to cuff him up immediately and search his house and that's that.

In the next episode, Jax gets shanked in prison, loses consciousness and bleeds out, and wakes up in a hospital only to discover that it's still actually season 2, and everything he thought had transpired since then was just a hallucination incurred after he slipped in AJ Weston's blood and whacked his head on the way down. All of the newly introduced cast were actually people in the hospital who Jax's brain worked into his comatose life. Jax makes it out of the hospital in time to waste Ethan Zoebelle and rescue his son in a slow-moving boat chase as Opie beats the poo poo out of Clay in retaliation for Donna. Jax becomes President after Clay steps down to open a new deli called "Beef with Clay," and then gets the club out of the gun-running business and into porn. However, the club's moment on the right side of the law is brief, as they all get pulled back into the criminal underwold as SAMCRO attempts to hijack a truck containing enough Valtrex to manage all of their newly acquired cases of herpes. Highlights from the newly imagined third season will include the Goon Prospect's origin story and new history with the club- Literally a goon, recovering in the next hospital room over from Jax from injuries sustained from an incident with a Fleshlight, who prospects for SAMCRO after he mistakes them for a motorcycle cosplaying club.

Completely forgot this was on last night until I looked at my DVR today. Jimmy Smits continues to be the best thing this season. The whole "but I'm a nice pimp! see my son is crippled!" bit was urghhhh. Car chicken made up for it though.

Seriously I have no loving idea what that last scene was about with them going through the safe and then dumping the contents. I also can't wait for the eventual Tara flip out and go to the cops for Jax being criminally retarded and just getting a big face full of, "WE'RE MARRIED BRO, CAN'T TESTIFY AGAINST ME NOW BRO." I bet she performs magic surgery on Smits' kid and he can walk again. I didn't hate this episode, I just want them to kill off Clay already. It's just dragging the show down that he's still scheming in the background.

Watching Jax try to put a bro spin on common tasks is always good for a laugh. In addition to the weird crash position contortions, there is a scene at Tig's daughter's place where he tries and fails at the complex task of leaning against a bookshelf. He puts his arms out and misjudges how high the shelf is but was already committed to it and it just looks ridiculous.

The amount of making GBS threads onJimmy Smits here is amazing. The guy is doing stellar work. Hell, you want to see him work with real bullshit material? Go watch the third season of Dexter. Compared to this I'm drat near ready to nominate him for the scenes he had with Jax. All the poo poo they're doing with him is to set him up as a possible Mentor. Jax has always wanted out of guns but he's never had the schooling on the alternatives of what he does. Now he's getting some and that may come into play if he can ever get out of this Irish/CIA mess.

I don't think anyone is smashing Smits. Smits is a champ, and he's awesome in Dexter too. But both characters are super ridiculous those are who the comments seem directed at. edit--maybe I misread and you mean the character is undeserving of the bashing.

I laughed and it made up for this morning's viewing annoying me. Also, didn't Sutter say that he has a "7 season plan" in mind for the show? Meaning we'd still have two seasons after this anyway? But, on the bright side, we might see Goon Prospect take on a bigger role in "SoA:TNG" since he's probably the only one to not get himself killed somehow. We'd get to see him fill the Piney role with a trike stocked with Mountain Dew and Cheetos... Until Opie kills him. SublimeDelusions fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Sep 19, 2012 |

I miss when the clubs just had beefs. Beefs with Mayans. Beefs with Niners. Beefs with Clay. Beefs with white supremacists. Now its all international cartel drug and gun running and its so hosed up even Sutter can't keep it straight. Even if this was the last season I just can't see how he can let it end. They will probably set up a firefight on the international space station with martian cia officers and laser guns over 20 bars of gold pressed latinum worth of moon blow.
