Or why no one on the club even pauses to think "hmmm, why WOULD the Asians murder Tara and Roosevelt?". Just last season Bobby wanted to step away from all the violence, didn't he?

IMO it's a shame that they don't do it more.

This was a better episode than last week's and the lack of lengthy music montages was a primary reason for that. Some fun acting this week too. Still, though, it's tough to really accept that Jax would start a giant gang war based on Gemma's word without at least thinking it through a little. Likewise that Unser still

He tries way too hard to make her as crude as possible.

AND he killed the guy at the scene of a ten-day old double homicide involving a cop. All for the sake of symbolism.

He uses the montages to advance the story, thus they're fair game. And I've complained plenty about the content.

Totally bizarre. Forensics didn't find a trace of blood, skin or hair on Tara after her fight with Gemma? No one found it odd that Juice vanished at exactly the same time? Everyone immediately believed Gemma despite her suspect past?

You would die.

Good TV crime oriented dramas have good law enforcement foils. BB had Hank and the DEA, Sopranos had the FBI guys. But the LE in Charming is non-existent, which is strange considering how many LE officers have died there. Also when you consider that the Sons all ride super-loud motorcycles and wear their gang's logo

IMO they don't give Tig enough to do. I've been waiting for a really good Tig subplot for years and it never comes.

And the way they do things "for the club". It's maddening.

Wayne should have figured it out by now. he knows Gemma took his truck while in a distraught state and he knows it was at the same time the killings happened. He even told Jax about it, in fact.

It all works as long as you assume that every character is an oblivious blithering moron.

'I want a different life…as soon as I tie up those dozen loose ends with all the local crime gangs and execute all my enemies, that is."

AND he even had a ride home ready to go!

Oh it was awful, just godawful. The fact that it was supposed to be funny didn't help either.

And I love how Jax goes to jail fairly regularly but always gets out really easily. "Well, we have no evidence on you, so you're free to go. And by the way, there's a new sheriff coming to town to replace the one that died in your kitchen."

Ditto that.

Remember when he was a computer wiz? And sort of likeable?

The comic relief consisted of a legless black man being dragged down the street behind a motorcycle. The "fun" bar has been lowered a little this season I see.
