I keep hearing this. I watched Buffy but never picked up Angel, though I know the premise. Is it possible for me to just watch season 5, or do you really need the 4 seasons of back story to have any idea what is going on?

That scene is one of the clearest memories I have of any sort of movie/tv show as a young child. I agree that as a very little kid you probably can't grasp the fact that Big Bird has literally been enslaved, but you know that he is lonely and sad and wants to go home, and that's enough to make an impact.

I guess with all the cardigans and soft spokeness, I had come to consider Nero "gangsta lite" as opposed to the real deal.

Thanks for the recap, I had completely forgotten about that scene.

Though I like Wendy and think Drea does a great job with her, I have the same problem with her that I have with Nero. They just come across (at least in their current sober incarnation) as too smart, level headed, self respecting, and concerned for their children to be involved with a group like the Sons at ALL, never…

Considering all the ridiculous crap the Sons say or do, I know this shouldn't even be a blip on my radar, but it really annoys me that Jax and Nero were talking about how smart Winsome is, when the little dialogue we have seen from her gives the impression that she has the intelligence level of an eight year old…

"You're a decent man, Jax."

That was how I took it as well

he did, but he didn't lock the door, so he could have gotten out, and for some reason this review seems to fault him for not doing so. As you said, it's not like he went in there himself to hide, and after Mordrake showed up, there was no reason to leave where he was, so the critique makes no sense.

Yeah I did think that a bit myself, where he shows the flashback of him throwing stuff at the cage while the kids cry and scream, and him saying about how he was being a good clown and nice to them. I think that you could excuse it and say that well he had just gone so crazy he was delusional and didn't really see…

Actually, what I had the most problem with is that all the freaks were willing to ruin this guy's life for no reason. I mean, one or two horrible people, like if they kept it to just the dwarves, I could buy. But he was so gentle and kind, and freaks more than anyone should be accepting of people who are different. I…

I went in German sex shop a few years ago when I was over there, and it didn't advertise itself as a particularly extreme one, just run of the mill. I was pretty disturbed at the video selection there. There was a huge section just for beastiality, categorized by animal.

He very clearly dilineates the world between adults and children, and good people and bad people. Children are the ones who appreciated and were nice to him. They understood him because they were on his level.

Maybe I am reading too much unto it, but that isn't how I read that. I thought Twisty was reminiscent of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein monster (book, not movie). In the book all he wants is to be part of human society, to be accepted and loved and appreciated. He keeps trying after being originally abandoned by his…

C+? This was not only my favorite episode of the season, but of the entire series. I thought it was wonderful. The scene where "Seal Man" cries and reveals that he didn't tattoo his face because he has a handsome face, and if it weren't for his arms, he could have been anything he wanted to be with a face like that…

I honestly can't remember where I read it, it just popped up in my news feed, it was pretty briefbrief. It might have been from entertainment weekly. However I did read a different article with I think the guy who plays chibs, and he said that while they are doing bad stuff, he still thinks they are, and I quote, "the…

I have met a few people over the years who this happened to in real life, including an ex of mine. Mom died, dad abandoned them to relatives, but so that they didn't even live with them or see them at all. I guess those are just cases of men who expected their wives to do all the child raising and had no interest in…

I read an interview a few weeks ago with Charlie Hunham who said Boone was not happy with how they were writing his character this season. His entire character arc for the past couple season has been about how he is the member with the biggest sense of morality, and who was upset with the violent direction the club…

That is obviously what the Sons believe, and what we are supposed to believe as the audience, but I'm not sure. I think it is the sloppy writing in crayon that really makes me doubt it was Marx. That seems like something they would write in blood, or at least a sharpie. But a crayon?

Jax killing himself would make Jury's telling him he thinks his father's killing himself make more sense. That story just doesn't fit with what we know about John, clay, and Gemma at that time, so it seemed like a weird idea to introduce. But if it was foreshadowing that Jax would ultimately kill himself, that would…
