Greensleeves (#7.7)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 21 October 2015]

Lots of events in this episode. One thing the show is definitely strong at is that it doesn't stand still.

Juice not being killed but used to go to jail and deal with Henry Li is a good thing. Not just because I like the character but I also like where it is heading, nice spin.

The greatest part was Gemma being brought to cabin. I laughed about Ratboy and Happy being afraid of her. And then I laughed some more when she was all worried about going there. Especially when Ratboy explained to her that it is a family problem. Mother and son thing. Yes, could really have meant something else. Her finding out what that mother and son thing was was also very entertaining.

Now I wonder what will happen with the kid hearing her confession. He seems to be too young to get it, but who knows. After his actions in the lockup I would think maybe he is ahead of his age due to where he grew up.

The ending with Bobby was gruesome. How horrible

Where's the plot??

How the Sons of Anarchy Lost Their Way

[therunner42 · 7/10 · 25 October 2014]

In season one John Tellar reads from his own manuscript and tells Jackson (Charlie Hunman) how the Sons of Anarchy lost their way and details the decline of the club.

I agree with Tellar. Like the mythical club, the show has lost its way in Season Seven. It has disintegrated in to a whirlpool and violence and ruthlessness. This has been no accident.

Sutter killed Jackson's best friend Opie (Ryan Hurst) and his wife Tara Maggie Siff) and as result, the club leader has no moral compass. Jackson is moving through Charming with such ruthlessness that the violence has almost become boring. I am a bit worried about the impact it has had on me psychologically. When someone cut their hand at work, I told them to suck it up and refused to hand over a bandaid.

The humour however, has not been completely lost. In this episode Jackson tells Ratboy and Happy to take Gemma to the cabin. Ratboy asks Jackson what to do if she becomes difficult. "Are you afraid of my mother?" Jackson asks him. "We all are," Happy answers for him.

But the compassion is gone. In fairness to Sutter, Jackson does cry when he thanks the club for helping him settle a personal agenda but minutes later he is pushing an intellectually challenged pimp through a window in an attempt to make it look like a suicide so the Jewish man "can't get in to heaven."

I ask the creator to remember that some of your fans are female and some of these are intelligent. We don't have to be appalled in every moment.

A romance would be nice. Yes we have Althea Jarry (Annanabeth Gish) and Chibs (Tommy Flanagan) and I have to admit that I do love her. But she wasn't in this episode at all and in the last one she and Chibs were arguing over who should thank who for the sex.

Really Kurt?

We'd all love to see a romance for Jackson and with the introduction of the hooker Winsome (Inbar Lavi) we may get that. However, this has been done before. Anyone remember Collette (until was unceremoniously killed by the Chinese only to resurrect almost unrecognisably in the film Gone Girl)? It would be nice to see him with someone different. If Kurt Sutter reads IMDb (and I seriously doubt that he has the time with the whole final season going on and his own personal commitment to Twitter) he would argue that he did give us Tara who as a pediatric surgeon was someone different for Jackson.

Alright I agree; it is difficult to come up with a new story arc.

But can you please cut down on some of the violence and give us a few more nice moments? I long for the day when the episodes were so good my workmates banned me from talking about it more than twice a week. That was a golden time!

don't hire your wife

For the love of God. The music on the show, throughout the series, has been mostly amazing. However, to the detriment of the show once again, Kurt Sutter chose to focus on giving his wife a job instead of focusing on what would fit with the show. The song may or may not have been a good choice, the singer,Katey Sagal, definitely was NOT a good choice. It was irritating and they put the music way too loud over the scenes. Feels like Kurt didn't want his wife, even in music, to be in the background, no. The fact that Katey Sagal isn't that great a singer, just made the entire sequence painful to watch. She's not a bad singer, but not good, definitely not great. Her version of Greensleeves playing over this particular sequence was distracting and took away from what was going on. It undermined what was suppose to be a shocking and gruesome moment. It ruined those scenes.
