I remember reading this. It was either in last season's SoA or Justified thread. Kurt didn't refer to Tim by name, but there was no question who he was referring to in his comments.

He totally did. The initial tweets:

Kunt Sutter posted:

The danger with actors wielding too much producorial power is that ultimately vision gets compromised by vanity.

Justified is a great show despite the fact that they had to make Olyphant a producer and deal with his belief that he has some kinda input

And then he got called out on the fact that Chiklis was made a producer on The Shield, to which he basically said "Yeah....well....um....that was DIFFERENT".

Yeah, the main difference being that Olyphant's input makes the show look cooler. Chiklis' input makes Chiklis look cooler.

I dont think this makes much sense, how do you know who gave input where?

I heard it was Tims idea to run that gentleman over instead of shooting him, I'd say thats pretty cool thing to do.

I'm of the mind that if you're on a show with a cool character and that character does something really cool, it makes the show better. Just me.

EDIT: how much % do you think Sutter put into The Shield? Was it a case of other people holding his crazy back, or did it just unravel over time?

It just figures Sutter would have been instrumental in writing the rape of a major character and putting himself in as a hitman with a foot fetish.

Yeah, I'm going through a rewatch with my girlfriend (her first time). We're only at season 2 right now, but I was so put-off (during my original watch) by how Lady Aceveda reacts to what David had to do when he had a gun to his head that I briefly mentioned how much I can't stand her. It really makes no sense.

It does when you remember that a common theme through all of Kurt Sutter's writing appears to involve a cuckold/humiliation fetish.

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

Currently on Episode 12 Season 5. I can not wait until this poo poo ends. I regret getting this deep into this show. But I can't stop...what's wrong with me. :qq:

Oh here we go again. Lockdown the m/c, get everyones families in, the Irish be out to get us. :downsbravo:

This thing is like a soap opera. It seriously could have no ending, and go on for years if the writers keep dancing the plot twists and story arcs around like this.

Only a matter of time before John Teller himself comes back to the club. "The night of the accident...that wasn't me. That was my twin brother." :cue some dramatic music and all that poo poo:

S5 Done. gently caress you Gemma, and gently caress you Sutter.

Did he happen to write the episode about the guy with the enormous stockpile of jars of cum in the fridge?

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.

I don't think it's loving awful but it's definitely the last show on my DVR list that I'll watch. Which means I'm about 4 episodes behind because there are better shows out there and I'm not hurt it's canceled. If it's a rainy day and you have nothing else to do during the Christmas hiatus give it a ago but don't get attached to it. It wasn't a bad premise for a show but it didn't work out as well as I'm sure it did in their heads.

So I just marathoned this show with some friends. Started off okay, but like seasons 3 till now just got worse and worse.

What is Kurt Sutter's deal? I try not to judge the show too harshly on it's treatment of women and minorities because of the setting and characters, but goddamn this is a really misogynistic and racist show.

The way they handled Juice's story was poo poo, "welp being black doesn't really matter but we're still going to hold this over your head and also we're not going to change the rules because it might upset people, hold on while I conspire to murder Clay." Oh and has there been a single woman on the show who hasn't been beaten up raped shot or otherwise abused? Holy gently caress.

Also Kurt Sutter jerked off and I watched. I can't unsee this.

I kind of wish this show ends with everybody dying brutally and then that weird assistant attorney from season 4 will come back and make spergy observations about everything.
