Funny that you mentioned "Rescue Me" because IMO that show's run was very similar to SOA's thus far. Started out with great promise, turned into a pile of contrived, stupid sap a few seasons in.

I never believe anything I see on those "next week" previews, ESPECIALLY where SOA is concerned. My educated guess: the "funeral" they teased will be for a bunch of random background characters we barely (if at all) know.

Tig won't die yet. The black gang (sorry, no idea what their "official" name is) will offer to let him live if he'll work on bringing the Sons down from the inside. Then he'll confess to Jax and SOA will use Tig as a double-agent in some hopelessly complicated and very stupid scheme.

A few seconds is cool, but those five-six minute ending montages gotta go.

SOA logic at work again. "If I do this to him, that will get me closer to the other guy who's the one I really want". Every SOA scheme has to have many layers of convoluted contrivances.

Agree, we've seen all this before and it's getting so tiresome.

It'd be so refreshing to have an SOA episode end with a memorable scene that WASN'T part of another musical montage, would it not? That one tonight was ridiculous and way, way too long.

Walt hates G&E. He'd never, ever give them his money.

Walt and Gretchen were together at one point long, long ago. They were shown as such during an early season opening scene, when they were listing the component elements of the human body. I assume that Gretchen ended up with Elliot and Walter saw it as a great offense toward him, causing him to leave GM in a huff.

Total bullshit piece, looking for things that simply are not there.

Walt met Skyler after he left GM. He hates Elliot because he hooked up with Gretchen behind his back, he felt betrayed by both of them.

Walt and Gretchen used to be a couple. The implication was (as I saw it) that she got together with Elliot behind Walt's back, causing Walt to cash out of GM and leave the business.

"Load" was easily the single most disappointing album I've ever heard. A five year wait and they dropped a real turd there, just such a shitty, weak, contrived pile of garbage. They've been dead to me ever since.

Someone remixed it, it's called "And Justice For Jason" and you can actually hear some bass on it.

A mere four studio albums in 22 years and all four of them are complete duds. Gotta give their publicity machine credit for keeping them "relevant" despite their massive artistic decline. I guess that's what all the bombs and fireballs and 3-D movies and rock-umentaries are all about, to distract fans into believing…

I bought KEA the day it was released from none other than Jon Zazula himself. Saw them live a week later at a roller rink, opening for the British band Raven. Sometimes overlooked but no doubt one of the most influential albums of the 1980's.

I only looked because I thought they'd be covering the Savatage song. Bummer. 

"Do a shot every time Jax talks about moving the club in the right
direction, because at least then some good will come out of it". Amen to that.

Yes, my first thought exactly! Best fucking "fuck" in the entire series. 2nd place: Uncle Junior's "WTF?" when he sees the courtroom sketch artist's likeness of him on the TV news.

Gemma is the worst, I can't believe they're still working that "nothing will keep me away from those kids" schtick.
