Maybe next time don't spoil that somebody is going to die. Just let us be surprised?
So you work on the show?
I am going to hunt down everyone involved in this decision and tell them very unpleasant things.
That is how i feel right now.
Sutter is a son of a bitch

There's something slightly unnerving about Happy playing with a child.
I'll tell them that next time!

Clay a fucking snitch (or was it that chick Gemma beat down)
this
and this
even though I saw it coming I'm still shocked
fuck Tig, and when Pope dies it's going to be even better than when Stahl died.

For real. It's actually been a bit funny to watch people go "Sutter will never kill off a main cast member!" the past few weeks.

Three seasons thrown away for a shortcut on character development. Welp.
Top RT'd Tweet on this episode mentions how it "can really make your inner racism flare." I think I'm done with this show and its fanbase.

It's what we feared but knew had to happen.
Opie lost everything to the club. Now he lost his life.
And this is what pushes Jax over the fence. He loses a shred of his humanity.
For Opie.
Noah Gunderson - David (From 04x12)
Jack Savoretti - Soldier's Eyes (from 05x02)

And let's not forget who convinced Opie to rejoin and go into prison.
The same guy who put a hit on him.
The same guy who killed his father.
Clay knew he couldn't have Opie on the outside as he embarks on his mission to take back the club.
Screw you, Clay. I haven't bought your sad sack act.
(and that is I think how Sutter wants us to feel)

Fuck. If I didn't love this show so much I would drop it right now. My favorite character.
Also I believe Jax really doesn't care about Tig anymore.
First he killed Opie's wife and now he's responsible for Opie's death.

who does care about Tig?
he's been a bitch/scumbag since episode 1.
the fact that his daughter got burned alive doesn't change anything considering he brought it upon himself

what does Jax tell Tig at the end? my dvr cut off after he talks to Chibbs
also, gemma needs to go..
yeah seriously, ivysaur you're kinda being the "i know something you dont know" type in this thread

The group is seriously damaged. There's a lot of beef from within.
Opie's death was definitely unexpected.

MAN, WTF. I seriously can give two shits about Tig. This dude has had the innocent wife of his brother killed, his daughter, the daughter of a crime lord, and his brother because of his blind loyalty to one member.
Prison stuff was great, the Gemma stuff sucked. It's about damn time the club was forced to do what so many other clubs and gangs have had to do: sacrifice a member in order to 'right a wrong'. For too long, SAMCRO was special, always managing to avoid that while demanding it of others. I hope this has a profound impact on Jax and his running of the club, that this stuff lingers. Hopefully the idea of handing Tig over to Pope down the road is something that permeates the season, forces Jax to revisit the concept of sacrifice without having everything chosen for him.
Oy... that Gemma stuff...
You sure as hell can't blame anyone for it, however, especially after season four. That was practically criminal.
If only Ope had finished the deed with Clay. Then that stupid lie about who shot him would never have been told and Tig would never have acted like a stupid child and start a war. I would have killed both Tig and Clay over that shit without hesitation.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((Seemed pretty obvious it was coming, but still, tough to swallow.
Ugh, that link posted earlier combined with this episode's intro montage focusing so much on Opie pretty much ruined any surprise for SoA's only meaningful member death in 5 seasons.
But anyway, Opie will always have this scene, probably one of the most satisfying moments in television ever.
What would be great, ~15 years from now when SoA is long dead, is for Kurt to make a Kill Bill style TV movie featuring Opie's orphaned kids as murderers trying to track down every living Son to seek revenge..

Can't really blame people. Play an episode from season 1 followed by one from season 5 - the dynamic of the show has barely changed. Kurt's baby is more successful than he could ever dream, but now it's like he doesn't want to risk committing to anything for fear of making the wrong choice. Last night's episode comes across as an angry reaction to everyone teasing him about this ("That character we've been torturing all series? Hah, dead!").

It was kind of obvious since last week that Opie would sacrifice himself. Still very sad now that his kids are orphaned and Tig is basically useless now as a character. He can't get Opie's forgiveness, he no longer trusts Clay, and Jax is only going to keep him around long enough to fulfill whatever club agenda he needs to pass.
Nero's escort service getting raided was kind of random. Judging by how the officers had guns out and even shot one of the men there, they probably are investigating him for drugs or something, which is confusing since it seems Nero and his gang are only in the "companionship" business. It's possible that Clay gave a fake tip to get back at Nero, seems like the type of petty shit he would do.
Everything with Gemma-Wendy-Tara is pretty messy, boring, and useless. It didn't really go anywhere and Gemma is so much better at manipulation that I'm trying to think that there's some plan here we don't know yet, but I'm guessing the writers just ran out of ideas. And Tara's death threat was completely out of the blue, that skeleton has been out of the closet for way too long.
At least the rest of the season will have a lot of revenge to deal out. First with the corrupt guard and then eventually we'll see Damon Pope get his head caved in. The thing is Pope seems too smart to let the Sons ambush him. There's probably going to be a massive showdown or montage. And ultimately, Clay will survive again. Unser too.

The only thing I really didn't like about Opie's death is the overall shitty arc for his character. Got completely shit on by the club and then dies for them...
This. All the talk about this episode seriously lessened the impact significantly. We spoiler all talks about the previews, but pointing out one episode to look forward to is just as bad if not worse.
