I think Pope's crew just wanted to see if Jax would actually do it and now that they - and Tig - know that he was willing to, it creates more club drama.

Tig is that kid you grew up with that used to be really cool, but as time goes by you realize he has always been a loser, and is now even more of a loser. You keep giving him more chances, but every time you hang out he ends up clogging your toilet or breaking your girlfriends nice dishes or glassware by accident.

But the accidents keep happening.

And now it is time for him to die.

I wonder if Kurt Sutter is just trolling us all. Like, really actually trolling us. He is getting all these great actors to come on his hosed up scary rapey bad show. Aside from the main cast, he's got Smits, Peter Weller, and Robert loving Patrick.

I mean what the gently caress?

Do any of the characters in this show make logical decisions or is it just the omnipotent will of the Sutter-verse imposing itself on its inhabitants to drive the lovely plot?

That part with Toric was a loving joke, I love Donal Logue and Sutter is squandering his talent. Also, why does he close everything with a cover and a montage, it always makes things feel so cheap. Having a character like Tig have a pants-making GBS threads moment while people coo "shooby dooby doo-bop" over it just seems insulting. gently caress. Why do I keep watching? I was able to bail on Dexter but not on this for some reason.

I know were only three episodes in, but is the school shooting going to amount to anything other than cheap shock value? The gun might as well have been used in a random liquor store holdup for all the impact it's had on the main characters.

Also, why hasn't Charming been invaded by a platoon of Marines by now? Think of all the insane gang wars that have broken out and all of the police/Feds who have been killed or mysteriously disappeared. I don't think there's a single resident left who isn't guilty of at least 3 major felonies. I hate when shows explain all that crap away with "Oh yeah, that one cop is crooked." That poo poo has limits, y'know.

I can't tell if you think that Marines invading Charming would be a realistic thing or just one of the few utterly ridiculous stunts Sutter has yet to pull.

Sutter said in an interview it's purely a plot device so no, it won't amount to anything.

quote:

TVLINE | Can you tease the fallout of the shooting?

It changes their relationships with the Irish, because now Jax has the emotional catalyst he needs to motivate [everyone]… to not be in guns. It impacts his relationship with the DA and with Toric, and we’ll really see the relationship shift within the town of Charming and how suddenly the favorite Sons, or at least the accepted Sons, are seen as a danger and potentially more of a pariah than a savior.

This takes [our characters] down this path that perhaps they won’t be able to come back from. It was a fine line; I didn’t want it to become this big political storyline where I had to acknowledge it and have everyone have an opinion about how bad it is and who’s responsible, and blah, blah, blah; that’s not what this show does, nor is it why people watch it.

Charming is pretty much just a GTA city. You can wreak all the havoc you want and drop as many bodies as possible and you can away clean provided you outrun the cop cars chasing you. If by some chance you are caught by the authorities the consequences will be negligible. Any resident not a gang member or cop serves no other purpose than to be victimized.

Good for you! I'm not out yet, but I can honestly say this is the only show I watch regularly where I don't really care what happens to any of the characters. Even Tara lost any sympathy I had for her when she turned down the witness protection offer.

Now the last character I thought might actually have had some sense to stay away is plotting some scheme so gently caress her too.

I barely watch the show anymore, just "play" it while doing other stuff (like reading this thread) and then laughing at the stupidity of it all.

I would feel sorry for some of the talented actors on this show, but gently caress them they are getting paid, and as we all know the joke is on us.

I gotta imagine that the law-abiding citizens of Charming (all 3 of them) have turned against the Sons loooong before now. It's like "Hey we saved you pathetic nobodies and this town from that dangerous gang, even though they only came looking for revenge because we killed three of them the other day! Anyways, back to our operation running drugs, guns and prostitutes. No need to thank us!"

Hey at least the prostitution is a community service! Also does their porn division have an online presence because I find it hard to believe people are making money selling DVD's these days and I don't see anyone aside from Juice able to even boot up a computer.

I wouldn't be surprised if Charming only had access to dialup due to the Sons keeping the town "unincorporated". Except for when Juice needs to use his plot specific hacking skills, then it's wifi central no matter where you are.
