I like this show just fine as long as I don't think too hard about the dramatic arcs and just think of it as Grand Theft Auto: The TV Series, with dubious writing but a great stable of character actors.

For example, Katey Sagal's is second only to Danny DeVito on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" in her ability to pronounce the word "whore".

Obviously you haven't heard Ralph from the Sopranos say whore. :colbert:

Bobby is unfortunately that guy who puts the principle of the brotherhood % structure of the club before the individual. He's 85% of the reason the phrase 'bring it to the table' is overused in this show.

I suspect he now sees that the bad blood between Jax & Clay will harm SINS as a whole so he'll play any card or any side in the belief that all the secrets have to come out for the god of the club. The 'keep that piece close' comment was his way of telling Clay he needs to protect himself. Ideally he wants them to have an epic bitch-off at the table and someone just surrendering their anger/position but he sees it isn't going to be Jax.

Wouldn't surprise me. We haven't had an occurrence of that in a couple seasons, so we're about due; even if it's meta.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I wouldn't necessarily mind if Bobby caught a bullet, pipe or whatever else comes up on the Sutter Wheel of Murder.

There was a scene in this episode that rivaled bookshelf lean where Jax is trying to stand all cool like, but they show his feet and they are both rotated out 90 degrees to the side like a ballerina. No wonder he walks like that.

I hope Clay dies off-screen doing something boring and mundane, right before his big supposed confrontation/show-down with Jax.

When Bobby came into Clay's house, didn't he say something like, "You'd better keep that piece close"? My impression is that Jax spilling all the things he'd gotten to the bottom of made Bobby turn the corner regarding Clay, and now he's coming to confront him with what he knows. My guess is that Clay is going to somehow turn it around and manipulate Bobby into joining his side.

EDIT: Also, I may have missed something, but why did Clay suddenly push so hard for the Galindos to not kill Jax? Was it a sudden bout of random sentimentalism, or was there an angle?

Having watched this show from the very beginning. The reveal will be that everyone of the First 9, except for Piney was in on killing John Teller, Jax's "father", and then we'll find out that Clay is Jax's biological father. That's why he doesn't want the Galindos to kill Jax.

Which would explain all the buildup of this between Jax and Clay. And by all the build up I mean Jax telling Clay not to call him son.

For all you Opie fans.

Afraid to click? 'Tis a blurb about Ryan Hurst and his magnificent beard. There's a brutal video after the jump that involves a samurai sword and said beard.

Also, Hurst apparently signed on to a new series on TNT. No idea what it is.

I can't think of too many men that this statement would apply to, but Ryan looks better with a beard.

Ironic that the beard got a better send-off than the character that wore it.

I was just about to post this. He was one of the few that looked legitimately like a believable bad rear end on the show. If he threatened me, I would be scared. If Jax did...not so much.

Jax suffers from denial and severe cognitive dissonance. As does Sutter.

This show, and every single character in it, is so impossibly retarded. I don't even understand how they manage to wake up in the morning and get dressed without accidentally strangling themselves. I feel like the mere act of walking should be too complicated for them. I finally understand what it is like to utterly despise a show to the core.
