I’m guessing that the new Dep. Sheriff is only undercover dirty. She’s going to get it before the season is over. Annabeth will have lost two choice characters on two top shows in one season.
Can you people believe they’re monitoring this thread? Is Cat & Mouse the key to the season?
Juice has been Dead Man Walking for at least three episodes and now it’s looking like Gemma may be the first to go. That can’t happen, right?
Damn I hope so. I hate that bitch.
She has overstayed her welcome! But IMHO she is the glue holding all the loose threads together. Once she’s gone, what’s left to be excited about? Surely not those fucking kids!
Gemma dies, and not quietly.
C’mon, Kate’s married to the creator! She wants a great death scene!
That’s about the biggest factor, I suspect. I would love to be in on some eavesdropping as they “discuss” the direction the show will take. Kurt doesn’t seem to be “pussy whipped” but I suspect he listens carefully to Kate’s “suggestions.”
The big question is how much input he’s gotten from the surviving long-time cast. Those who have gone on to the Big Motocross In The Sky probably didn’t explain things to Kurt well enough!
I was disappointed Lin didn’t turn out to be a black belt. Jax is in serious need of a beating.
A killing, too, but that’ll be later on.
Can’t kill Gemma yet. She’s still “talking” to Tara. She needs to go looney tunes and Jax needs to find out dear old mom “forked” his wife. One or both of them will be the last to die.
I really don’t think that Juice has the balls to kill Gemma. And killing her now would destroy that delicious moment when Jax finds out what really happened to Tara. I know I said earlier that this is a show that doesn’t always go with the obvious play (for instance, I really thought that Clay would be around until a big final showdown with Jax at the end). But even with that thought, I just can’t get my head around killing off Gemma with over half a season left.
One of the things about this show is that I’m ready to go on record that it will become “one of those shows” that people will look back on in years to come for all the firsts it has accomplished. We’re probably too close to it to predict what those comments will be and what other shows follow the threads it has laid down. But I know personally it will rank among:
Breaking Bad
The Shield
The Sopranos
Twin Peaks
and others not on the tip of my tongue.
I imagine that Sutter is aware of those implications and will do all he can to make the show unforgettable.
Is it bad that when we see the women and children of SAMCRO bunkered down, I was vaguely hoping a Chinese death squad would show up?
Of course it also bugs me that another of Jax’s crazy plans worked out, using his uncanny ability to predict perfectly how other characters will react. Conveniently, other characters are extremely stupid when necessary.
Why does Jax have to find out that Gemma killed Tara? I hope Juice kills the monster. Then Juice makes it another few episodes, gets killed and the secret goes to the grave with him. Jax never figures out what kills him, the club, his family and the violence just goes on. All because Jax was so stupid that he trusted Gemma to tell him the truth. Shit, didn’t Jax in season 1 know that Gemma was a conniving serial liar who might have helped kill John Teller? It seems to me the early Jax knew exactly what Gemma was capable of and that she couldn’t help herself.
Juice is far from stable. He could shoot her in a heartbeat. With tears in his eyes.
And one of the really ballsy moves Sutter could make is killing her off in an early, offhand way. It would leave Jax absolutely no direction to react when/if he ever finds out Gemma set the whole catastrophe in motion.
(THE ballsy move would be to kill off Jax about three episodes early, but “that ain’t gonna happen.”)
Icing on the cake would be if Chucky is the Last Man Standing.
I just had a Sutter-type thought for a twist: what if the kid with the hammer beats Jax to death in his sleep! Would Shakespeare roll over in his grave?
In HBO’s The Wire, one of the most fearless, completely invulnerable characters was killed by a child. It was incredibly powerful, unexpected, but absolutely realistic. I was very sad to see that character die, but he did lead a very dangerous lifestyle…
Having Jax killed by his own child would be rather wonderful. Chibs or Happy would probably have to kill the child in retribution & then slide into the leadership position.
Problem solved.
Yo, brother, I can see we need to get on a writing crew! You are so right about Omar. Broke my heart. I might just snicker if Jax goes out bad.
This show gets more like a cross between a bad John Woo movie and a daytime soap opera every episode. I’m really only watching now out of a sort of morbid curiosity to see how much more ridiculous it can get.
Was anyone else expecting that waitress, having been introduced and named, to be dead by the end of the episode?
She will be back. Gertie is short for Gertrude, and Gertrude is Hamlet’s mother.
