Maybe end each episode with "Fuckity-bye!"

So did you have the same reaction to 10 going back to save Sara Jane's son before he regenerated? Or is that different because RTD did it?

You do realize this is just a tv show, right?. I'm sure I'd hate Clay if he were an actual person, but as a fictional character, I find him interesting/entertaining.

"Someone's never been to Scotland."

Yes, I've watched every season. Clay was a fictional character I enjoyed watching, so I used RIP. I'll use it if Gemma dies as well. Sorry that caused some offense?

By the looks of that last scene, I don't think Connor is going to be as complicit as Marks was/is. That may be the set up for the end of this season/next. Jax may have underestimated Connor's loyalty. Though, admittedly, Galen had to die. He hadn't quite reached Jimmy O territory yet, but I don't know why he…

*******SPOILER**********
How many times did I exclaim "Holy Shit!"? I lost count. RIP Clay, it was time, but I thought he'd die in the last episode.

I always thought he was calling to make sure she wasn't breaking down because she had found out about Midge, but that may be hindsight talking as I saw the beginning of the second season before I saw the first.

I was born in the late 70's, and my mother used to drive to town with me in the snuggly (70's version of Baby Bjorn). Mommy's little air bag.

In characterization, Opie was Horatio. I've actually rather enjoyed seeing a visualization of what could happen to Hamlet without his anchor. Tara is definitely Ophelia, and headed that direction, though Sutter has apparently said before that he has broken with the play story wise by killing Ope. Wouldn't be…

During the battle scene when Eccleston has Hemsworth pinned and is waling on him, like total Fists of Fury, I turned to my sister and screamed, "Not the face!"

The name makes sense, but I've always thought Opie was Horatio, character-wise.

Either that, or sutter has gone complete back to Hamlet, as it's the ghost that tells Hamlet that his father was murdered and by whom. Since only Gemma and Jax can see her/talk to her, I wonder if that's what is coming? I was hoping that JT's letters to Maureen were going to be the adequate substitute for an actual…

This would be way out of character for Tara the way she has previously been written, but if Sutter is going back to the Hamlet well and Tara is Ophelia, we all know how that ends. It wouldn't be the first time this show has bent a character to fit the pre-ordained plot.

I would totally agree with you if Tara's ultimate goal was to stay with Jax. But it isn't. Her goal is to get herself and the boys AWAY from Jax. If Jax still loves her, he's going to do everything in his power to try to get her to stay with him, and she knows it. So she did something she thought was…

Unser was the only one who knew Jax well enough to know that he couldn't just come out and tell Jax what he knew. You saw how well that played out for everyone else who tried. Having the lawyer confirm everything was the only way for Jax to believe him. He did make Jax promise not to hurt anyone, for whatever…

In the short term, maybe running would make sense, but long term, Jax isn't going to let her get away and neither are the feds. Even Gemma couldn't make running work in season 3, and Tara witnessed that. Making the boys fugitives on the run with mom is NOT the life she wants for them, which is the whole purpose…

She can't run, she's facing federal charges, where would she hide with two small boys? You're right, she doesn't know that Jax looks more sad than mad at this point, so it may just be for protection. I thought the show would spend a lot of time on whether Jax can forgive Tara when he finds out, but they used the…

Unser's not long for this world. Nero's now the voice of reason. Unser looks like death warmed over, I bet he won't make it out of this season alive.

What would you have cut from this episode? Everything was absolutely necessary.
