Didn’t Unsler have cancer in the earlier seasons or am I just confused? Did he get cured at some point and I forgot or missed it?
Yes, Unser has cancer, it is slowly killing him. Really slowly.
That’s okay. The club is there to speed things along.
Figures I got his name wrong in my 2 sentence OP.
Thanks for the answer. Its been driving me nuts the last few episodes, I was beginning to think I had imagined the whole cancer thing. I wonder when the last it was referrenced in the show and if they are ever going to bring it up again.
Well, there was a scene in last week’s episode where he woke up and removed a joint from a prescription bottle. I assume that was to imply it was medicinal marijuana due to the cancer.
You are not wrong for observing that a man who was dying and barely held on to his position as chief of police until a critical story moment is awfully damned healthy-looking years later, the occasional cough notwithstanding. The 14-18 months the crew was in prison alone should have seen him buried.
But then, SOA is unlikely to win any awards for its storytelling abilities, let alone consistency. In the words of one of its sages, “That ain’t gonna happen!”
Of course, saying that in a Jaxccent means it immediately will, so stay tuned.
BTW, “Unser” means “ours” in German, which he was for the first two seasons and maybe still is.
