Nobody even has to duck!

but not entertaining.

That's the only thing he did right this season.

Yeah, you're right.

What's depressing is the huge following the show has.

What part of it was about love? Gemma and Nero, maybe. This is the most cynical show I've ever seen.

The implication from the past seasons and Jax's smirking exchange of remarks with Tully, Juice is not being raped. He's getting some "loving".

I've noticed that. Jax and Tara never had a good scene together. Gemma's with everybody were uninteresting and sometimes embarrassingly bad. Then, Sutter tried really hard to hit a new low level and succeeded.

Heard it with my own ears on the Aftershow ass-kissing: The actor who plays Venus said that Sutter is the "greatest living writer of our time."

Tremendous acting on Tig's part! The whole, halting, supposed to be moving conversation later —not so much. He did what he could probably.

Remember, "She's a smart girl."

It's the same technique that's been used with Gemma: she's so beautiful and sexy, everyone would die for her because she loves her family so much.

This is how it will go with Jax and Gemma. She will assume her usual conversational position with Jax—breasts pressed tight against him, her nose practically touching his face and hiss, "Well, I MAY have threatened her with a meat fork. I was trying to scare her smart." Jax will bury his face in her neck, squeeze…

Completely agree.

I noticed that. Adds insult to injury.

Maybe Abel is taking his mother's role in seeing the club through outside eyes. He was stunned by the violence he's seen, the confessions he's heard, and he's the only one who grieves for Tara like a normal person.

It was a pretty huge reveal…one we've been waiting for.

Possibly the writing staff picked up on how many viewers were losing interest.

The whole cast is a great study in dysfunctional people. No matter what happens, they shrug it off and go on together as if nothing happened. The discord between Clay and Jax over Donna was the only thing that lasted at all. Then Gemma told them she was raped, and they were all hugs and kisses, and it was never…

On the afterword Sutter said he had not noticed the resemblance to Tara until someone pointed it out. He and Hunnam discussed how his hook-up with Rendition or whatever her name is was because it fulfilled Jax's basic nature to "protect a girl who needed it". That was why he also wanted her to stay, so she wouldn't…
