I don't think there's been an elaborate scheme for a couple of seasons. Every single plan is 'convince gang to meet at a secluded place, shoot them in the back'.

I have no idea what's going on in this show anymore and I repeatedly find myself laughing uncontrollably at the fact that I have no idea what's going on in this show anymore while watching it.

There's usually a few twists isn't there? Like with Clays death. But yeah it's mostly just betrayal and people getting shot in the back.

Come to think of it, that's at least the second fight (possibly third) that has taken place in that kitchen. It's like they look for excuses to throw each other into a comical amount of pots and pans. Seriously, there are restaurants that would be envious of this brothel's kitchen equipment.

That's what I'm saying. It's a remarkably well-stocked kitchen for a restaurant, let alone a brothel. Who the hell goes to a whorehouse and says dang I could go for some duck confit?

Jax is mad that his wife died, and instantly believes the one person who has lied to him his whole life about everything (Peggy Bundy). He decides to wipe out all gangs by having them go to war against each other, and in no way has this kind of plan ever backfired on him.

He is especially angry at the Chinese, who he thinks killed his wife but he isn't at all confused by how they constantly meet with him with no weapons or that an intimidation killing requires you to, you know, tell the target you were the one responsible.

I'm hoping Machete/Tortuga comes in at the end at the head of a newly formed Mexican Cartel-ISIS-Al Queda-Hamas-Boko Haram alliance, and he and Jax box 1880s style to the death, while Gemma slowly chokes Abel and crooning Welcome to the Jungle.

At best, he would be a good writer if he had other writers/editors able to veto his worse ideas like on The Shield, but he doesn't seem to have that here and so we get the odd good idea hidden in a sea of lovely ideas.

The brothel has a great kitchen but apparently no security to deal with the violent dad despite the fact that it's being run by the leaders of two gangs. Even the shittiest small town dive bar I've been in has had at least one bouncer to throw shitkickers out when they get violent.

I like to think that he's poo poo-scared of all the doublecrossing associated with dealing with the Sons + guns. It's all led to a comically large pile of bodies yet people keep lining up.

I don't know what is stupider about this season. That Bobby who spent most of the past two seasons trying to rein Jax in now seems completely comfortable with this new plan of rivers of blood or bust or that after all of the reprehensible poo poo the MC have done to each other since the show began it is Juice who gets ostracised for a gently caress up so minor it wouldn't come up at SAMCRO dinner that night.

Juice was detoxxing and told Nero that Jax ordered him to smother that junkie chick last season. That led to Jax's kiss of death and "you betrayed me".

Because they lied to Nero and told him junkie had OD'ed. It didn't seem to matter though, Nero was only pissed for like five minutes and more or less got over it.

Brings up a great point, actually. It seems as though Nero has completely forgotten about it and the club has experienced no repercussions whatsoever (as per usual) yet we have to dedicate a third of each episode to playing Three Juice Monte.

If Jax thinks the Chinese killed Tara (which I've already gone over how :psyduck: that is) and Nero clearly doesn't give a poo poo about Juice killing the girl, then why have this subplot at all?

Oh, because Sutter asked for 90 minutes an episode and they won't let him do 45 minutes of montage.
