gomper Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Don't think Tylenol will cure Opie's headache lol. love a show that's not afraid to kill off longtime characters.
ajzepp Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) I'm still recovering from episode one of this season....the scene with Pope and tig's daughter was just brutal....I'm almost shocked that they allowed that to be shown. It's pretty rare that I see something on tv/cable that impacts me like that, but it just made me sick to my stomach. I'm a bit torn about this season so far...on the one hand the intensity level is already through the roof....on the other hand it just seems like these guys get into the same types of problems over and over, just with different groups. I've always liked jenna, but so far this season Im often hoping someone just pops her in the face. She's become uber annoying. Loved seeing my girl Drea Di Mateo last night....she was looking great!

gomper Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 aj- i agree w/ you on the point that they get into and out of one over the top situation after another. i guess that's part of the appeal though.

Yep, there's no arguing it's a hell of a ride...at some point you'd think the price of business was getting a bit to high, though, you know?
/dev/null Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 I've always liked jenna, but so far this season Im often hoping someone just pops her in the face. She's become uber annoying. Too soon to kill off Gemma. SoA started out has Hamlet on motorcycles. It's kind of gotten away from that them in seasons 3 and 4 but it's still the underlying premise of the show. Clay/Claudius and Gemma/Gertrude don't get whacked until the final scene
kegtapr Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Opie had to go, his character became boring and one dimensional. Only place they could take him was to kill off Clay, and that's not gonna happen soon.
NoSaint Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Too soon to kill off Gemma. SoA started out has Hamlet on motorcycles. It's kind of gotten away from that them in seasons 3 and 4 but it's still the underlying premise of the show. Clay/Claudius and Gemma/Gertrude don't get whacked until the final scene which is not tooooo far down the road. If you take it as opie being ophelia (in a twist, his VP not his wife), and this being the death that hardens jax/hamlet enough to take on his enemies. im thinking the opie thing is a plot point thats been scheduled since day one, it was just a matter of how the made for tv story would get there. between the name similarities, the seeming to match up role in advancing the story, heck even the nod of his father being "piney" with ophelias father being polonius.... i think sutter used tara as a distraction to that role for opie, while giving clues throughout. ive heard many debate taras demise the last few seasons trying to match it up to ophelia but opie makes so much sense now. when you step back from the exact nature of matching them up, and do some broad strokes -- ophelia was the obedient daughter that eventually is made to go crazy from all thats demanded - opie is the obedient club member that is cracked by the expectations put upon him by his membership - she commits suicide in a passive manner (not by her own hand), he essentially does the same. even in ophelias death - shes described as a native to the setting as shes sunken into the water, which wouldnt be crazy to say about opie wrapped up in the club, in prison and doing right by them and wrong by himself sitting there on his knees. once opie ended up in jail with them, i had texted a friend watching that he was a goner within 2 weeks following that theory.

Clay/Claudius and Gemma/Gertrude don't get whacked until the final scene I dont want to see her get taken out, just punched really hard. Maybe Jax's woman can just haul off and deck her with that cast. Or better yet, get Drea to go all Sopranos on her. She just needs someone to take her back down a couple notches then she'll be fine.
NoSaint Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Further on hamlet kick - I think the switcharoo is in effect with haratio- hamlets best friend and most open confidant. That was always discussed as opie - I think it's Tara. Sutter played the two opposite common sense (wife and best friend switching roles in the story). Also fits polonius, piney, being opies/Ophelia's father and being an elderstatesman of the group that pontificates on how things are supposed to be I'm not 100% sharp on hamlet but it fits my rough memories Edited September 27, 2012 by NoSaint

ajzepp Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Half Sack's in some trouble http://latimesblogs....wis-murder.html I'd say being dead is a little more than being in trouble.
Donald Duck Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 My favorite show, some hard corp ****, love the twists and turns it keeps taking to up the intensity. I'd say being dead is a little more than being in trouble. wow, worse then just dead, dead and going down, down, down from the sounds of it

But if we're going for Opie/Ophelia & Piney/Polonius, how about Laertes/Layla?
NoSaint Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Interesting theory. But if we're going for Opie/Ophelia & Piney/Polonius, how about Laertes/Layla? Depending on how things evolve from here, she could take that role. If she decides to avenge the death of the kids family somehow? Just cracks under the pressure. How she and the kids will be involved going forward is one thing I've noticed going under the radar. Possible. The names have seemed to have some ties if you buy my opie - Ophelia theory which I'm pretty solid one in my own head That'd give Clay as Claudius Gemma as Gertrude Opie as Ophelia Piney as polonius And then without the name connections John teller - king hamlet Jax teller - young hamlet
Wooderson Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Opie's wake was pretty damn emotional last night. Scene and music fit together perfectly. Also, love seeing Tara kick some ass with her cast.
/dev/null Posted October 3, 2012 Author Posted October 3, 2012 Also, love seeing Tara kick some ass with her cast. I was disappointed to see them ship Ashley Tisdale out of town so soon She's nice to look at Looks like the club is back in the p*ssy business. Previews for next week look like they're going to use Jimmy Smits' client list to expand into the blackmail business as well Pope's a respectable business man and pillar of the community. So get the dirt on other respectable business men fine upstanding pillars of the community to start moving the pieces against Pope
gomper Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I was bored with last night because it seemed to be pure formula. That chase seen was pure filler and the Opie wake went on way too long. That being said, it laid the groundwork for the next few episodes.
