Gemma and Tara's original bitchiness and Tara's continued bitchiness likely stem from the fact that they know they're just one notch above the usual biker skanks that bang their men when they're not around by virtue of their old-lady status, but the porn stars have better make up and get paid to do what they started…

Tig does seem to be going soft
He huddled behind cover while the prospect ran to cover Clay, and Clay knows it.

Well, on that later point from Mr. God (which would make it what, the new testament?), we can certainly agree. I like the Deb character more or less, and think she's just fine and that the scene was good.

ugh. this is what happens when I don't refresh. I post something when there are 22 reasonable conversations, then refresh to see 111+ and others already pointing 'dark work = need space from the kids' excuse Dexter could have used. And the first paragraph should have ended as "without*" darkness touching the kids'.…

I forget…
Has Dexter revealed the whole death of his mother thing to Rita, including the blood and such? It seems to me that the best lies are ones wrapped snugly about a bit of truth, so he could go into his drenched in blood gives him obsessive traits about blood and murder that brought him to his line of work, and…

you'll have to color me skeptical Uh. I work for a somewhat large employer who gets a good rate and decent coverage, and my single share is about $120 a month, which is just my 10 or 20 % of the total premium. So depending on your coverage, drop a note to Obama, ok? It'll save a lot of debate and we can all join in…

Did you think Sopranos was realistic? I don't know any mobsters, and don't read much in the way of mob novels or true crime, so while I enjoyed the show, I don't know how much was real and how much was plot and character drama. I forgive some 'that would never happen' for the sake of a decent storyline. So, while I…

As much as I enjoy the idea of ZMF weighing in on healthcare debate, I would only add that as a small business garage, it's unlikely that health insurance would be that affordable. With the illegal cash flow of side businesses, they might have invested in a health plan, but I'm thinking it's not high on many MC…

whalberg says "say fuck to your mother for me"

I suppose if secular = not religious to the interviewer, then assertion that there are secular jews, but not secular christians, makes sense, because the jew in the equation is cultural identity. So, secular scott is the same as secular jew. The mere assertion, though, feels intuitively wrong, as I know lots of…

and by reverse bait and switch, I really mean reverse divide and conquor as a plot point. The bait and switch is more about the preview making it look different than it will play out to be.

preview misdirection
I know that Clay is impulsive and protective of his status as president, but I don't think you stay president as long as he's depicted by being stupid or unable to adapt and realize when he's been wrong or misguided. So, in that vein, I think the showdown we're shown in the prison preview is…

Zobelle has no intention of dying for his cause. That's what Weston and the other skinheads are for. Hale was sending the cops to pick up Zobelle, and Zobelle let his daughter give false info to make Hale and/or Samcro think they were walking into a thug ralley, not a good christian dinner. While Zobelle was at some…

good one
I like how two out of three named zombie movies WH has seen recently weren't really zombies, and the other a comedyzombie movie. So I'm a zombie nerd. sue me.

It is a bit odd, like when Arkin first met the bikers and asked if they were going to shoot him in front of all those witnesses, and I could only think, "you mean all the other members of the biker gang and the women they are partying with? those witnesses? the ones who are as likely to turn Tig in and testify against…

no more powers anonymous please
I didn't like it in Buffy when Willow was ''addicted" to magic, and that was likely a more apt analogy, and watching parkman (painful enough unto itself so often) in a 12 step confessional was just annoying. We'd already established he's seeing things and could have reinforced that…

I thought it was the shiny edge to the pages that gave away that it was a bible. Not thrilled with potential jesusfreak gemma, but I'm willing to wait and see where it goes.

an odd way to set things up
See, if I wanted to ruin the gang's reputation in town, I would have told my dealer to give up a house with a single mom and 4 kids. They did no investigation on their own until they cleared the house, so even if they don't blow it up, they do shoot out windows and maybe hurt civilians,…

accepting Jesus as your personal savior allows you to do all sorts of slutty and/or reprehensible behavior (not that slutty is reprehensible, I love me some slutty behavior). I've known several who freely condemn every person in a hundred mile radius, yet cheat on husbands, scam social security benefits, and shack up…

the writers' drink
is it white wine? somehow I always thought merlot to be the pretentious writer's choice. Then there's whiskey for those hard drinking writer types like Hemmingway I suppose. So, if one wants to write, what should be the buzz maker of choice?
