Weirdly, Juice has become the guy I am rooting for, even though I fully expect him to die in a spectacularly idiotic fashion. I never much liked him before because he's such a pathetic idiot, but I like him now because unlike the rest of the Sons, he is losing his damn mind because of all the terrible shit he has done

Very much disagree that it was Jury's fault. Sure, the SOA as an organization are not good guys, but nothing about the club up to this point should make a club member think that they will randomly kill friends or associates for no reason. There would be no reason for Jury to say "oh this guy really means a lot to me

That's a good point, and it's not like I think Chibs and Bobby were ever good guys. But over the years their unease with the clubs violence has been growing, not lessening. It's Bobby's entire character arc and development; him becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the club's culture, and trying to stop it. But now

The repeated calculator conversation was painful to watch. Was there really no better ongoing dialogue they could have come up with for the last day at the whore house?

Venus was definitely the best thing about this episode. She is always a welcome sight.

Is it wrong of me that I actually kind of want Jax's kids to get killed at this point, just because I think it would make Gemma and Jax suffer more? I would accept Nero being the one to kill Gemma as a consolation, but really I want Gemma's lying and Jax's rampaging to ultimately lead to at least one of their deaths.

I think people's main gripe is with Chibs and especially Bobby, who always have been the most level headed of the group who is constantly trying to scale back the wanton destruction. Bobby was super reluctant even to kill Clay. Now, he's happily murdering club allies like Jury's bastard or whoever that kid was, and

Yeah, Chibs and especially Bobby merrily going along with all this escalating violence with narry a concerned comment is the most grating thing about this season for me.

One of the things that first attracted me to the show is the whole being based on Hamlet thing. I loved how they used the letters/diary as a proxy for the ghost of Hamlet's father. Once they started pulling away from that basis, I do think the show has become increasingly directionless, and now it's just one big

When Robin Hood caught up with her, apologized for Marion being alive, and essentially said he was only staying with her instead of leaving with Regina because of the kid involved/marriage vows, I very nearly quit this show for good. Between that and the Frozen plot, which I hate, I feel like this is not a show I will

I agree. I hated the movie Frozen, but was open minded about it being included in OUAT because as you say, with many of the other storyline s they have not followed the source material and have done their own thing. I do find the Frozen storyline to be way too shoved down our throats aggressive marketing, rather than

Is anyone else really disturbed by the fact that Robin Hood just found out his wife was murdered by Regina, is only back because Emma rewrote history, and the reaction of both he and Emma is to apologize to Regina and feel bad she did not successfully murder Marion? I can't believe this review did not touch on such a

Not a strong episode, lots of tired plotlines with Cam/Mitchell and Gloria/Jay, but I really liked the Alex story line, and loved the line, "We are a family of fire starters, poison eaters, and internet prostitutes."

I so agree with this. I think that the writers feel that a guy like Tig only really works as a charicature of a person rather than a fully fleshed out one, and the relative lack of reaction and total lack of long term character impact from him after his daughter being burned alive in front of him is a perfect example

The other thing about letting Tara leave is that it actually be the best possible solution to Jax, letting him have his cake and eat it too. He could keep his club, but also keep his family safe and not pass down his behaviors and mistakes to his sons. It's not like he spends a lot of time with those kids anyways.

They definitely are acting inconsistently regarding Tara and Donna's death, but in opposite ways. On the one hand, like you said, everyone was much more somber and emotionally devastated after Donna's death. Now aside from the, "sorry Jax, that sucks," no one seems all that sad about it. But on the other hand, when

Yeah, I know there have been Fed involvement in the past, like with Stahl, but that just sort of disappeared and it's not really clear to me why, especially with the ever mounting body count. In the past there has been talk about using the Sons to get to bigger fish, but they are causing so much havoc now that they

I hope so. I would find infighting amongst the Sons much more interesting than them warring with other gangs. Again.

In addition to points already made here:

It is more than a little hypocritical. Jax is also they guy who protected Tig after he murdered Pope's daughter (even before the daughter revenge burning occurred), who was even more innocent than Tara in that Tara is directly involved in club related criminal activity. Oh murdering somewhat innocent and totally
