I'm going to make a risky guess and say it'll be black or Hispanic, although Persians are now a sleeper threat. ;)

One of my favorite things about Sons is how the music that plays during fire fights always corresponds to the ethnicity of the people they're fighting. Every. Time. If they're black it'll be rap, if they're Hispanic it'll be Spanish rap, if they're "Persians" it'll be Middle Eastern music.

I'm glad Tara is divorcing Jax, it makes the plot more interesting vs. her just doing nothing as their marriage inevitably implodes. The fact that she's already planning ahead, makes me like her more. That said, I don't understand why she didn't just make a deal with the Mashall. The Marshall could have put Jax in jail, and allowed her to take the kids to a new location with new identities.

The only thing that makes sense is that she would be afraid he would kill her. Okay. I could buy that. BUT why wouldn't Jax kill her if she divorced him, took the kids, and made him unfit by the courts to be near his kids? He wouldn't kill her over that?

At least with the Marshall, it would guarantee that Jax was in jail, and she would be given the means to hide. I guess I see the difference between betraying the club, vs betraying Jax. But I don't REALLY see the difference when it comes to the risk and consequences.

maybe she still loves him, but since he's too stupid to leave Charming with her, she just wants to take the kids and bounce.

and since you mentioned it, I bet my life Jax will do something fucked up to force the kids to stay, should Tara actually follow through with this (the whole series her and Jax have this fucking flip-flopping so it might happen again).

He's Clay Jr. Whether that means killing Tara or something else, who knows.

Quite frankly I find Jax's situation right now similar to Walter White from Breaking Bad.

Part of him is trying to maintain a long-term goal of getting out of guns, steering the club in better directions, and maybe even getting out of the outlaw life entirely. However, the deep shit he's in now has him completely in over his head, and he just keeps solving his problems in ways that create even more problems.

I said it before - Jax is toast this season. I bet he loses the gavel and Tara. He'll hit rock bottom, and season 7 will be about him trying to make things right (or just becoming a complete asshole).

Jax's story is all about the corruption of power and greed. They've gotten him to a point where the audience is actively rooting for Wendy/Tara to get the kids away from him.

I wonder if we're going to find out Jax turned Tara into the cops as a way of keeping her from taking the kids to Oregon. I don't think that will be the case, but it's not entirely out of the question.

that sounds so absurd

but after the Vince Russo-eqsue swerve in S3, this just might end up being what happens.

Swerves are a trademark of this show. From all the way back in S2 when Zobelle was revealed to be an informant with no warning whatsoever. The DEA reveal in S4 was a little bit more well done, but lord are they tiresome now. As well as these overlong episodes. Things are getting lazy out there, but as long as Sutter has the formula down (shootout/motorcycle chase + Jax's ass + Random shock moment = Viewers!), things'll keep on.

No coincidence that S1 remains my favorite.

how come no one can ever shoot in a tv show

Richard Harrow in Boardwalk Empire has to be like the only person with an accuracy above 1%

Jesus that scene with Nero's guys in the kitchen...

Toric has already passed Pope and is possibly going to get up to Stahl level if things keep following the same track.

EDIT: Barosky is a total badass. And we got a Jax "Jesus Christ" in. Nice.

No one is reaching Stahl levels.

I actually wish she would come back. So much better than every other clown antagonist since S3.

I could handle a lot of shit in this show, but Toric and the beer bottle in those guys' mouths was just too much.

Sutter, who the hell hurt you?

For some reason that shot made me think of him in Robocop, the way you couldn't see his hair and it was just the stretched out skin on his face.

Clay is in a bad, bad situation, but Jax is right - he'll do anything to survive.

The CGI blood when he stabbed that white dude was pretty bad.

I don't know, it was a decent episode but next week needs to kick things into high gear. I can't say I'm too high on Toric's character right now - it just seems way over the top and all over the place.

That whole prison fight scene was laughably bad down to the dude shaking the chain link fence 10 feet in the air.

They do need to kick shit into gear, other than the "OH GOSH Tig's in a pickle!! what's he gonna do now folks!!" shit feels like I'm watching Dukes of Hazard. The whole watching Gemma and Jimmy Smitts and Jax and Tara cuddle at the end of every episode this season with music playing is getting old as well.

I'm not saying there's not revelations in what they reveal during those scenes, it's just how they reveal it is too formulaic. How they build it up it is self sufficient enough, it's just the payoff is horribly executed.

This might come out the wrong way but the school shooting really needs to be given more attention. There needs to be more fallout. We need to see the Sons actually care that a gun they distributed was used in the tragedy. We need to see people in Charming turning against them a bit.

Right now I kind of hate the club for how they're dealing with this. But again, I think we're supposed to feel that way and I don't think Sutter is going to let them off the hook.

Goddamn there is too much meaningless violence on this show and I'm getting really bored with it.

The Lee Toric character is such a waste of Donal Logue.
