as I recall, the IRA has targeted civilians, though they've the sense to usually plant a bomb and not be around when it goes off, so unless your moral distinction is the suicide part, not much of a difference. I admit I grew up more sympathetic to the IRA "cause" of removing UK rule from Northern Ireland, compared to…

I don't necessarily see Jax as indecisive, or at least he's not consistently indecisive. He advises caution in dealing with Zobelle because he sees a trap though not necessarily the exact nature of it. Yet he also rushes off to rough up a porn producer for the girls without considering the lengths that one might go…

I think that one man's terrorist is another's patriotic fighter as a general rule. That said, my use of freedom fighter was not an endorsement, just an observation that the young IRA would consider himself one and it rang odd to me that if he were a fanatic for the cause, the threats of the ATF seemed highly…

makes you wonder why Gemma said Fiona was one of the three women she's scared of, if Fiona's meek enough to stay at Jimmy's side and stand for a guy that would threaten her daughter. Even if she didn't hear it, you know the type of fuck he is, and while it was an evil scene, it rang inconsistent with what we've been…

is chuck the masterbator? I didn't forget he was there. I'm referring to competent security vs. a guy who can't open and dial a phone with 2 fingers.

and they went out of their way to point out that Prado, jr. was into drugs and/or other criminal elements which is why he was there at Dexter's target's house in the first place. Maybe not enough to get onto Dexter's usual table, but he did try and kill Dexter first.

I think the confession is more of a guideline than a rule to the code, pirates', harry's or otherwise. Dexter confronts them with their deeds, but it's not like he's going to not kill them if they insist they didn't do it. He's usually positive going in. Besides, the photographer's last words work as a confession…

I have to admit
that I see a lot of people say they don't watch the show and find these write ups more entertaining, and I actually missed the episode tonight and find myself in total agreement. I usually make myself watch it out of some nostalgia for the first season (and no, this isn't a first attempt, I see other…

my daughter, being in sixth grade, needed to do a current events in science paper, and wanted that paper to be about alligators. First article that came up in BING! was an onion headline "Study: Alligators still dangerous no matter how drunk you are" or to that effect. She didn't get the joke, but fortunately I…

but it is dumb that they had noone at the porn studio after they'd already had the dog killed and stuff stolen.

I disagree. I don't think Zobelle has been random at all. Everything he did early was designed to provoke a violent reaction he could use to get the Sons jailed.

if you read the books, you'd know that the parallel of raising little monsters is taken quite a bit further.

I assumed from season 1 that Gemma, Clay and John Teller were founders and that something happened to lead Gemma and Clay to kill JT and move forward with the club. At the very least, it's implied that there was a breach between Clay and John that Gemma knew about and that Clay came out on top, with Gemma as the…

Tig's tagalong
I missed some of the dialogue between Tig and Jax with Tig trying to get Jax to come and let Tig meet them. Was it really an implication that he might step away from Clay? Jax's response, accusing Tig of not wanting Opie to move up for fear of losing his spot as Clay's right hand implied otherwise to me.

we already had the carnie boss doing that for a few episodes. talk about your counter intuitive job migration, the white guy took the Indian's, but I guess he's coming back. fuck.

BING!
I only caught the second half of this episode last night on G4, just in time to see them turn Charlie into a commercial for Bing. Way to cross synergize your media there NBC with the microsoft google.

Felicia Day isn't a megastar by any means and that sears commercial likely paved the way for more guild before microsoft/xbox decided to underwrite it, so I'm good with it.

I hope you're just trolling, because I would watch the homage / slackertalk / humorist deconstruction of all those three before the cliche riddled "plot" I see out of avatar.

mirror mirror on the wall
So, they take one of the more annoying aspects of the only really good season (Nicky losing her head and talking to herself in the mirror all season), and just decide to rinse and repeat it with Sylar and Parkman. I thought writers when doing seasons or sequels tried to take the good they…

just finished reading it
I found the books through the show, and like the fact that they deviate after the first book/season, as I don't think I'd necessarily want to read the novelization of a season or watch a book serialized out to a baker's dozen episodes.
