I think it's because Sutter said he wanted to see what Jax would be like completely "untethered". Nonsense. Really he just wanted another season when another 1 or 2 episodes would have wrapped up the whole thing right after Tara's death.

Roosevelt was the first to use that term because he was the first sheriff.

He tried harder in the early episodes. But even with a strange blended accent, he has perfect diction, even when he's trying to be slangy!

It's English, overlaid with 15 years in LA. Chibs is Scottish. Hunnam is from Newcastle upon Tyne in England. He's from a rough town and does not have a plummy BBC English accent.

Good news! Jax will be naked 2 times this season—next ep with the Greensleeves prostitute because Sutter saw them in ep 7 and thought they had "chemistry". The second time he bares all is a secret. Any guesses who that's with?

And old.

I think she is keeping Gemma in her usual blend of ridiculous and appalling.

About Abel: this may actually be one area they have researched. I have nothing to say about his acting ability or the use of him as a plot device. But it is true that kids who are being raised in a chaotic environment are unnaturally perceptive. It's a survival instinct that kicks in—their safety depends on…

Please, don't remind me!

Nero and Wendy are no prizes.

The writer, and apparently the fans, think this is adorable.

I don't think Juice can take him.

Shitcan.

Channeling himself as a "fat, pimpled teenager living out his life in his mother's basement in NJ, watching nonstop TV."

Sorry. I've obviously taken this show far too seriously. Some habits die hard.

On an FX interview, Hunnam said that Jax doesn't care at this point who is killed or how. They asked if Jax will kill Gemma when he finds out about her. He said, "Oh, no, no! That's 100% more complicated." I'm getting a queasy feeling.

She already is.

She's seeing a hollow reflection of what several of us used to see in Jax.

I agree! Except, I think they should have tacked on 2 ep at the most after Tara was murdered. Instead of slaughtering everyone in the landscape, Jax and Unser should have gone about finding the murderer as the half-smart, seeing people they sometimes used to be. Jax should have summarily dealt with Gemma, and…
