Anyone notice she said her father’s name was John? John Teller possibly?
I thought the waitress said her son’s name was John.
But didn’t she then say “…the same as my father?”
Yes. And I don’t know (or care, at this point) who dies next, I’m just ready for it to all be over. Jax has turned into the stupidest person on the planet, Gemma has become a caricature of herself, the actions of the others no longer make any sense (Bobby Elvis had issues with how Jax was behaving before, enough to switch charters, but he’s okey dokey with this ongoing inane bloodbath now?) and it’s all so tedious instead of exciting. So, I second a few of you all who’d either like to see the whole thing implode spectacularly or Abel to go homicidal with one of their illegal AKs.
Indeed she did.
It should be obvious by now that Gemma has poor impulse control, but why finger a member of Lin’s crew as Tara’s killer instead of some random mope or even Juice? Jax could still get his closure by torturekilling the accused and there wouldn’t be a need for a, y’know, gang war.
For that matter, why are they going after Pope, now? Should I even bother asking?
I sense “scorched earth” as a way to go out in style.
There’s a reasonable summary of last night’s episode at Sons Of Anarchy’ Season 7 Spoilers: Episode 8 Synopsis Released; What Will Happen In ‘The Separation Of Crows’? if you want a refresher (spoilered for those not yet up to date.)
Did you see that (or something like it) coming? Gauging from our poll in the thread it would appear to be a surprise.
Reactions?
I did not see that one coming. I had my bet on Chibs being the next to go, only because it would be the most unexpected (and he was getting a decent story line.)
This was a great episode.
There was a moment during the conversation between Gemma and Wendy that I thought, why didn’t Gemma blame Wendy for Tara’s murder? And might she, still?
Of course, if we’re getting all biblical, maybe Abel will kill Gemma… with a cane.
I love the way you think!
Given how Gemma reacted when Happy and Ratboy told her that they needed to take her to the cabin it’s a good thing that she didn’t see creepy little Abel standing in the doorway. He’d be the next to go.
Do you remember when Gemma said to Wendy, during that conversation, something like, “This shit with Juice is on me. If you want to split, i get it” ?
I thought that she was planning exactly what you’ve suggested: get Wendy to run, and then go to Jax and blame Wendy for the murder.
Kind of aside, and I am pointedly not reading any posts since the last episode aired…
We watched the first half hour of the ep before hitting pause by chance and seeing there was still an hour to go. Partly because we were tired, we opted to finish it tonight.
It also had to be the dullest episode I can think of… one long, glurgy speech by Nero, another long, glurgy speech from Jax, a glurgy scene at the JT marker… even the whole Juice ploy so underplayed as to be dull. One of the very weakest half-hours of the show, and in a time when there’s no room nor need for dullness.
I can only conclude that some Very Bad Things happen in the final hour and we have to float to them on a sea of glurge. Shhh. See you tomorrow.
Couple things:
-
if they keep killing off cast members, we may never learn who finked on the Lin issue…
-
I hadn’t seen Moses Cartwright since Six Feet Under (2001–2005) and he’s holding up well.
Actually 3 things:
- if they keep carving up Bobby there won’t be much left to bury…
I’ve got dibs on Nero being the one who killed Gemma’s birds.
My thoughts, too.
Maybe the MC’s strategy will be to get all the pieces of Bobby sent to them. Then they can put him back together.
Surely Nero’s gotta be the next to go? All the optimistic talk about the future at the end of this week’s episode suggests that he hasn’t got long to live.
I’m finding this show less and less compelling every week. I’m enduring it more than watching it now, just to see how it all turns out.
8 episodes in and none of the main cast have met Mr. Mayhem yet. I would not have bet on that…
Sure seems like the season is moving at a much slower pace than I would have thought considering it’s the final season. We get a “holy shit” moment every couple of episodes, but on the whole it doesn’t exactly live up to the expectation I had at the end of last season. C’mon, guys, we aren’t watching this series to see Jax go around in an existential funk… Bring it.
I thought it was that redneck biker guy because Jax killed his son. (“No Son Is Safe.”) But then maybe not because did he have enough time to get out to the middle of nowhere to meet Jax after?
I can’t imagine it being Nero, he doesn’t seem like the type of man to hurt an animal.
Speaking of rednecks, wasn’t that the same lady who dropped the ATM on the guy’s head in Breaking Bad?
I love Tig. He doesn’t abide anybody abusing a child or animal. “Go ahead. Hit him again.” If he had his way that whole dogfighting ring a few seasons back would have been nuked.
And I don’t know about you guys but I think they nailed Abel’s actor perfectly. That is the creepiest looking kid I’ve ever seen. And there’s TWO of them because kids are always played by twins. Can’t wait until he spills the beans about what he overheard his grandma say to baby Thomas.
I think you’re onto something I’ve been noticing for a while now (even said so a few posts ago) in the way those kids are featured so prominently and in such a negative light. Not the little one so much – all he does is eat, sleep and look cute – but the little monster that is Abel could have been in one of those Bad Seed things and done it convincingly.
For some evil streak in my movie-watching analysis mind, I’m betting that Unser is going to have been in on the finking operation. Sutter won’t let him off as Mr. Nice Guy the whole ride! But who else would be the Big Surprise when we finally (if ever) learn the identity of The Fink?
