although I was hoping that every remaining episode would have a closing montage of them receiving a delivery of another boxed body part

The Tig + Exchange from this ep was the only good moment of this entire season.

we should take turns watching this, in like 15 minute chunks

Not sure what to make of the love scene between Tig and the tranny (sorry, I don't know her name).
Tig has had about one or two lines for the last xx episodes, and he finally got the chance to emote and act.
I think Kim is a really good actor so I was happy to see him get some screen time. But...maybe he was overacting? Hard to tell if that was the best performance of the season or just kind of overdone. I think I'm leaning toward the first option.

tig is probably just about the only character left who is worth a shit imo, and yeah coates is great. he's always memorable, even as a cackling CSI miami villain or chet from last boy scout.
― LIKE If you are against racism (omar little), Thursday, 13 November 2014 22:25 (nine years ago) link
I've never figured out why they don't give Coates/Tig more to do - I mean, I like Happy and the Scotsman and I know they're Jax's crew but Tig was always the most entertaining character.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Thursday, 13 November 2014 22:40 (nine years ago) link
in earlier seasons Tig had a lot more to do!
Was this the first Jax naked butt shot of the season?
― sarahell, Thursday, 13 November 2014 23:07 (nine years ago) link
Watching the first season again, I appreciate how calmly they deal with Tig's description of necrophilia.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Thursday, 13 November 2014 23:28 (nine years ago) link
i always thought Tara was prob the most compelling character and that in many ways the show was about her/seen through her perspective, as the person coming back into town and into the story at the beginning of the series who looks at the situation through the eyes of someone who used to live in the straight world. so for me the show worked up through last season on that level, and now one season of the aftermath of her death makes for a good denouement. if i felt that way about Opie (who was also great, obv) i'd probably be more bummed out/disinterested, not only has he been gone longer but his death is kind of settled business, can't remember the last time he was even mentioned in the last two seasons.

I wonder if there any Wild Angels references in the series. Or if Sutter has ever mentioned that movie.
― calstars, Saturday, 15 November 2014 00:47 (nine years ago) link
man that Tig/Venus scene was the highlight of the whole season -- Coates is so great. Like, everyone else in that show seems to be going to great lengths to be 'Acting' whereas Coates is just *there*, he's right in it.
I still hate pretty much everything about this show now, but that scene at least made me feel like at least I haven't been watching for nothing.
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 18 November 2014 02:41 (nine years ago) link
this was the best episode of this show in years, right everyone? i mean it's not just because i have severely diminished expectations.
― slam dunk, Wednesday, 19 November 2014 09:53 (nine years ago) link
yeah that was pretty good. kinda back to first-season sturm und drang, gotta love that oedipal shit
fuckin love smits. he's good at crying

it's funny thoughi look at this thread title now & go 'aw remember when we thought this show was good' lol
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 20 November 2014 07:04 (nine years ago) link
Juice in the interview room with Unser and the Sheriff was so great.
― sarahell, Thursday, 20 November 2014 07:50 (nine years ago) link
I love Smits too but I thought the crying routine was a bit overdone. There was one point where he was kind of jumping up and down slightly with a sad dog look on his face that was pretty silly.
But yeah, best ep of the season. Hope Kurt didn't shoot his wad too soon though - what are they going to fill up two more weeks with?
― calstars, Thursday, 20 November 2014 12:09 (nine years ago) link
i liked Smits being the big emotional breakdown. he's kind of the new guy but he's already invested a lot of pathos into his character and all he's been through and you really feel for him in his "what the hell did i get into with all these crazy white people" weeping. and it just underlined that Gemma has done the unthinkable and that people that love her can never look at her the same way again.
― nakhchi little van (some dude), Thursday, 20 November 2014 12:36 (nine years ago) link
yeah i like the unspeakable anguish angle
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 20 November 2014 15:23 (nine years ago) link
The look as he was listening to the phone -- and it was an excellent choice to show his end of the conversation without the audience actually hearing Jax's words -- and realized that the Gemma he thought he knew was hiding this all along was excellent. Just walking away from her, no confrontation, just being over.

for all of this show's failings it's really good about letting dudes have a good cry when they want to cry, and not flinching from that
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 20 November 2014 20:32 (nine years ago) link
Yep. I was shocked at Jaxs breakdown.
― calstars, Thursday, 20 November 2014 20:33 (nine years ago) link
I also really liked the jazz soundtrack to the car chase!
― sarahell, Thursday, 20 November 2014 21:33 (nine years ago) link
jax's murder of the other samcro president and its fallout have been really nicely done. very foreboding, a lot of creeping dread as the options narrow.
― slam dunk, Thursday, 20 November 2014 23:34 (nine years ago) link
that was the same guy whose club they saved in Season 1, was it not? They patched them over? It is coming full circle. There have been so many mediocre seasons of this show, the first two seasons are so hazy in my memory.

I'm getting that impression. Kinda half thought he was gonna off himself in this ep from the way he was acting
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 5 December 2014 02:10 (nine years ago) link
only question is how. maybe forcing the gang to shoot him the way they did Clay?
― calstars, Friday, 5 December 2014 02:17 (nine years ago) link
well he did ask about the JT manuscript so that will probably play into his death scene.

The bylaw is that there are no black SOA members. Which is a weird thing given John Teller's anarchist leanings - they just stole that device from the real Hells Angels but it doesn't fit this club.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Friday, 5 December 2014 05:39 (nine years ago) link
yeah but they've already covered that in old episodes
i reckon it's something else

he doesn't say it's anything to do with the race thing, although now that i think about it, it could be so that they can patch in the niners??
― just1n3, Friday, 5 December 2014 06:22 (nine years ago) link
the niners are worried about getting wiped out and jax has promised to take care of them, given all the help they given and risk taken.
― just1n3, Friday, 5 December 2014 06:23 (nine years ago) link
that would make sense -- also a lot of things from past seasons are getting brought up again, and not just the "take down the greedy gun dealer and the IRA Kings will give the club what they want" plot
