No compassion for living things? What's it like to be a psychopath?

The cheesy procedural aspect was actually due to issues with getting the show greenlit. Networks are extremely apprehensive of shows that put up barriers to entry of new viewers, such as heavy focus on ongoing story arcs. They basically tricked CBS into greenlighting a procedural and cleverly introduced…

Gotcha! So, like folks from Newfoundland in Canada or Cajun folks from Louisiana in the US.

Wow, that's crazy! I'm guessing California is like Illinois, where small cities in metro areas don't merge municipal governments? Where I'm from, municipalities merge all the time when they grow together, so there are a very small number of very large cities.

Yeah, S6 was rough and such a waste of Olmos. I know everyone hated on Julia Stiles and S5, but I actually liked her character and the twisted partnership she and Dex had. I think S7's bright spots were mostly due to Ray Stevenson being awesome. His villain brought a level of coherency to the muddled mess it was…

If it's supposed to be tragic, out her in the middle of the season and spend the rest of it slowly whittling away everyone in the club and everyone the club is connected to. Punishment for their sins.

Wait wait wait wait. He has no idea they are terrible things? Since when did mass-murder, for any reason, stop being terrible?

Definitely hate-watching it now. Actually the first time I've done this with a show; it's interestingly painful and enjoyable at the same time. I hate the characters for being moronic monsters, I hate the writers for not realizing it, and I hate the fans who apologize for the psychopathic and megalomaniacal attitudes…

I actually enjoyed the part with Lea Michele. I thought it was the only poignant part of the episode. I think that scene, combined with the close-up of the cashier bleeding out, highlighted just how removed from reality everyone in SOA is. Gemma's conversations with the waitress were an interesting contrast between a…

It barely even matters anymore. They introduce characters that are carbon copies of previous characters and then wipe them out an episode later. We see the same scenes replayed over and over and over again. Hell, a 3-stage sitcom like The Big Bang Theory has more character variety than SOA. I want to stop watching,…

Dexter used to be so good…

It's great to see that the writers are such dedicated psychopath apologists. Toss in a kind or progressive off-hand comment now and then for Jax to spout and he's just like the rest of us, right guys?

Was Vic his hero too? :(

Canadian? He's British…

Yep. Even if he dropped a tree on them.

Nero is just an older, friendlier, slightly less psychopathic version of Jax."I want to get out and I'll make half-hearted attempts to do so, but I'll continually place myself in situations that will clearly drag me into the middle of hyper-violence. Oh man, why do I keep getting stuck in the middle of hyper-violence?…

That would be the only way this show could redeem Jax at all. He and the club are as horrifyingly evil as anyone else and if he had the epiphany required to recognize that and deal with it, it might bring back a glimmer of the human being he was supposed to be in the beginning.

Thanks, Obama!

Dexter did the same thing: fantastic early on and then it fell apart during the last few seasons. Even little bright spots, like Ray Stevenson's character, weren't enough to lift it out of the aimless mess it had become.

Crazy! I didn't even recognize Annabeth Gish.
