I would genuinely watch a show about Unser going round a solving crimes. They would obviously have to move him to a new town, maybe somewhere in Florida? Unser PI... I would also spin off Opie. Why not a show where Opie travels across the USA helping small children and saving puppies.

I'm surprised Kurt didn't take the parallels between Jax and Nero's children one step further. They both have medical issues, maybe next episode Nero could talk about how his son was kidnapped by the Scottish or the Welsh?

SoA is kinda going the way of 24. There's a limited list of things that can happen in the show, and to make an episode the writers take four of those and put them together in a random order. Like 24, it gets to the point where you've already seen everything, just possibly not in the same episode or same order. *Sutter spins wheel*: "OK, this week we have.....'The gang run around tracing someone down before time runs out'.....'A biker social occasion'.....'The gang try to sort out protection in jail'.....annnnnnnd.....YES!..'High speed chase to music!' Writer: "Kurt, you realise we know you've rigged the wheel to always land on that last one, right?" Sutter "oval office."

The show was much more interesting when it looks at the Sons relationship to the town and the symbiotic relationship between the two. Now Charming is just a Place Where Things Happen and those things involve wacky CIA-Cartel shenanigans, constant shoot-outs between heavily armed gangs and is populated only by Cops and Criminals.

No bro, what will happen is that the season will end with Jax and Opie getting ready to kill Clay when the Goon Prospect stops them. GP will then pull off his mask to reveal that he's an alien, and that he needs Clay alive to save his planet. The episode will be wrapped up with a musical montage set to a lame acoustic cover of Sweet Home Alabama with every instance of Alabama replaced by Charming.

Smitts was awesome. The rest was filler. I have a feeling it's going to be a long season of 'Ugh why am I still watching this' but I'll probably keep watching anyway in the small hope it'll turn around. I do this every season.

Restraint isn't Tigger's strong suit at the best of times, I look to him to utterly gently caress something up again before too long. So with the normal cast going to jail outside we have.....Bobby Elvis, Clay, GP, Happy, Juice and....the Nomads right?

The nomads vote Clay out, Opie gets off with a warning, and a new, better show happens with him leading the club while the others are in jail. It could be a well acted drama with good dialogue about the adventures of an MC. By the time the rest get out of jail, we'll have forgotten about the last couple craptastic seasons, and Jax can bro walk off into the sunset with the increasingly emo Tara.

Has the show ever re-addressed Unser's cancer? Is it in remission? Does he still have only a couple of months? Isn't he dying? What in the hell is going on with him? It is like they forgot that entire plot line. Instead Sutter has him getting beat up, covering up murders and solving mysteries.

bobkatt013 posted:Well storywise it should be clay but since this is sutter it will be Opie Honestly, since Sutter would never kill Clay, I would actually be fine with it being Opie. I honestly don't care about him anymore. He has just always seemed like a sort of reserve character who comes in and out of plot lines and spends the rest of the time just not giving a poo poo about anything. Even when he was getting married or killing Stahl, he just seemed really "meh" about the whole thing. I just can't stand it anymore.

I can see it being Uncer. I've always assumed that the medication he's taking has kept the Cancer to remission but if Smit's is going to be around longer than this season I don't see the need for Uncer. Gemma has a confident this way and Uncer is frozen out. As my 2nd pick, I gotta go with Tig, as much as it pains me. We've had his death on the horizon since his mistake of killing Donna & let's face it, Pope isn't gonna stop with just wanting the Sons hurt. Tig's death may be the saving grace of the MC. We know that powerful men with connections can be untouchable and Sutter felt that ending rang true with Zoebel.

The thing that really rubs me wrong is they have the gall to have a gunfight with loving uzi's and nine's where no one is even hit once(typical a-team poo poo) THEN THEY BURN A GIRL ALIVE. This show doesn't even know what it wants to be. I thought they had the balls for a good show but i don't know, i think i'm done. Will check in later if people say it improves. I wanted this show to be The Sopranos or Boardwalk Empire with bikers. For a guy that talks a lot of poo poo Kurt Sutter makes a pretty lukewarm show.

I would agree with this if they didn't take 'cover' behind their bikes, which deflect bullets without even a scratch to the chrome. It was almost as silly as Jax's crash position.

But the CIA totally bulletproofed the bikes for them. And four guys with glocks couldn't hit a single dude. You can't just show gunfights with no casualties like that. They have done it too many times.

I glanced over this thread, it amuses me that it devolves into RIP Terriers/Lights Out and 'If only Raylan visited Charming, that would be the best ending ever' chat so quickly. My DVR still has this set up to record, and I wish I could bring myself to delete it.

The way I understand it, the CIArtel could back out of the deal at any moment and give the Feds the greenlight to drop the RICO bomb on SAMCRO. It's the main reason Jax has to do whatever Trejo says.
