Not by me, it wouldn't!

That could be interesting, but 1.) there are clearer ways to make that point, and 2.) it's hard to buy when you're just moving fan favorite actors back into their original roles and relationships.

Actual doctorates are usually granted based on painstaking but still often flawed research into the minutia of something maybe six people on Earth will ever care about in any way, and five of them only so they can use it as a citation in their own dissertations.

Kier's the only one of the four who seemed like he might be in on the joke, or at least, really having fun with his own apparent insanity. Gallagher and Sims just seemed angry.

Both having the personalities of dry toast doesn't help either.

Agreed. I never would have watched this under normal circumstances, but knowing that it really pissed Kim off, I think I'm going to see it just for that reason.

No great bands have really great band names. Those are the exclusive province of awful bands. It's like a karmic consolation prize or something.

Dave Grohl has apparently formed a shit-ton of supergroups, which is news to me.

I have serious issues with some of their approaches in the past, but honestly, this is your moment, Anonymous. Just go apeshit on these fuckers. See to it that the North Korean government loses internet service for the next year, fill every hard drive with South Korean pop videos, post step by step maps of their…

I wouldn't say better, but I'll give it "more interesting."

Another big issue is that there is absolutely zero incentive to challenge anything you hear from authority figures, ever. Why would you even try to work out your own specific take on things when the last dozen guys who did that mysteriously disappeared?

The problem is that there's no way prosecutions like this don't end up in front of the Supreme Court, at least for the guys who really matter, and the justices ARE the ones who get to decide on whether it was "in fact illegal." And we can guess right now with some confidence that the decision is going to split 5-4…

I am, too, but I honestly think that had more to do with LAPD not wanting to kill someone famous on live TV.

Ghost Dad Teller: The hardest struggle a man faces is reconciling the potential for good within the soul of all outlaws and the potential for cutting off another man's arm with a chainsaw.

It was in slow motion to disguise the fact that everyone's going 15. Jax's hair and clothes barely move. I actually like the shot opening on his blank expression coming up to reveal a pile of cops behind him, but it's hard to deny the flaws in the illusion overall.

There was an awful lot of "one step forward, two steps back" stuff. It was nice to see the show tip-toe up to acknowledging that Jax is a terrible person and the Sons are poisonous, but every point had the subtlety of a meat-fork stabbing. I dare anyone to watch that "Jax talks to dad's graffiti" scene and try to…

I'm mostly on board with this. There's a good episode of television in here, but there's also two goddam montages and a good 30 extraneous minutes. In that way, it's kind of the perfect late period SOA finale, nutshelling the show as it does.

"The story ends with Jax smeared across the grill of a Mack truck" sounds like a joke these boards would have made when the show started going off the rails a couple years back.
