Last week I spent the episode trying to beat myself into unconsciousness with my keyboard so I would not have to witness Sutter’s annual descent into ridiculousness. Sigh. Oh lawd, the ridiculousness. Like most viewers I felt angry, betrayed, and deeply saddened that I am so attached to a bunch of stupid television characters that I care enough to feel angry and betrayed by bad writing. At any rate, tonight’s episode got Jax and company back on track. And by back on track, I mean hurtling out of control toward the inevitable cliff. You know who didn’t look abashed? Jury. No, he looked like someone who was tired of taking Jax’s ration of shit (take note, Nero). Not only did he deny ratting out the club, but he basically told Jax that he had become the one thing his father detested most of all; a vile, douche canoe who runs amok, killing people while burying the club eyeball deep in horse shit and gang banger shenanigans. Jax punched Jury, they both pulled their guns, and Jax shot first. The truth is hard to hear, huh, buddy? When people speak the truth, it tends to show in their ‘go to hell’ demeanor. Unser recognizes that look/tone in Juice (although there is no way in hell he has not figured out Gemma killed Tara, especially after last season’s cat fight; would Gemma be that upset that her daughter in law got herself good and killed?). Will killing a club member who had enough sack to tell him the truth be enough to crush his wee little soul? Perhaps. Maybe when (the now invisible) August Marks kills Bobby, it will push him right up to the edge. But that last little push over the cliff? That will come at the hands of Gemma. Yes, Mommy Dearest. As Jury verbally bitch slapped Jax, he suggested that instead of being murdered by Clay, Jax’s father actually killed himself. That he could not bring himself to destroy the club that he loved, nor could he stand to watch it slide into corruption and the aforementioned heap of bullshit. Foreshadowing, Sutter? Perhaps Jax doesn’t get pushed off that metaphorical cliff, maybe he just fucking jumps. Bobby mutilation of the episode: the fingers off his “clutch hand.” Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for all news updates related to the world of geek. And Google+, if that’s your thing!
