Is this the same prison that had Lee Toric's nightly Otto Rape-a-thon, and the Gemma/Clay "You're gonna have sex in front of us because we say so" scene? This show in its latter years has given up trying to portray prison life remotely realistically.

I assumed that's what Jax was telling Juice when he prefaced it with "Thank you for telling me the truth:" Juice cover-up of Gemma's involvement led to a whole lot of deaths, including possibly Jax's own (if the other chapters vote Mayhem for killing Jury). No way Jax lets Juice live at this point, but at least he won't order him tortured; of course, the guards may have other ideas.

ITA with everyone else who thought the music during the car chase was a disaster; it took me right out of the scene while I asked myself "WTF is with this music?" If Sutter was getting tired of metal or whatever, why not go old-school Bullitt-style and not have any music during the chase? GREAT acting job by Hunnam, but it came at the expense of his already-shaky American accent. In a couple of scenes, I don't know that he was even trying to sound correct. Speaking of the car chase, Jax had an APB out on him for assaulting Unser. He's now added armed robbery, reckless endangerment and hit-and-run. Great thinking there, Prez. Smits hit it out of the park tonight. I particularly loved that weird leg bounce right after he found out what Gemma had done. It had the potential to look ridiculous, but it came off as a guy who literally didn't know what to do and wanted more than ANYTHING to wake up in that moment and have it not be true.

Until Bobby warned about the gun, I figured they were just mad at Bobby's constant trash-talking, but it was definitely to impede his communication.

The way Bobby collapsed on the ground right before Marks brought him over, I wonder if he'd been lightly drugged. Combined with his collection of recent physical traumas, that would be enough to make him "out of it" and unable to let Jax know until the last minute. Since we saw the guard bring things into him later on, why not just bring the shank in then? Even if the guard just wanted to see Juice suffer a little, an object like that could make him bleed; when the other guard comes in, he'd definitely notice blood running down Juice's leg. That entire scene made zero sense.

Jax should look at the bright side: by the time Marks is done with Bobby, he'll be small enough that Jax can just stuff him into a backpack and carry him around everywhere to ask for advice. Kind of like the world's most organic smartphone. And with all the screentime Sutter's giving to Abel of the Corn, methinks at least one close family member (hopefully not Thomas) will die by his hand.

Exactly. He has chosen to devote himself to a single-minded and very dangerous quest to DC because he has also chosen to believe Eugene has the cure to turn everything around. Rick just wants to find someplace safe for himself and his group to live out their lives until (presumably) the walkers' internal energy reserves exhaust themselves and/or their rotting bodies simply fall apart, which is what would have to happen sooner or later, but could take years. Abraham wants one thing, and Rick wants something else. Probably best that they go their separate ways.

I wonder if this Washington storyline is the spinoff series AMC's been talking about. It would make sense to include two long-standing characters in Glenn and Maggie, as opposed to basing the entire series around Abraham and Eugene, whom we barely know and who are not particularly sympathetic. Also, Glenn and Maggie leaving makes sense. Abraham seems like a competent guy and has a clear goal in mind (even if he is putting all of his faith in a cipher like Eugene); Rick doesn't really seem to have an idea about where to go or what to do. I like AMC dispatching Gareth this quickly. He and his group were one-dimensional bad guys; the show got everything they could out of them and moved on.

Someone needs to clue Sutter in to what Trent Reznor finally realized: even if your wife (Mariqueen Maandig, in Reznor's case) is a technically good singer and can be really effective with the right song and accompaniment, this does not mean that every song she sings will be brilliant, or even worth listening to. Meanwhile, I loved Gemma telling Chucky "You're not a mascot," then immediately patting him on the head...LIKE A MASCOT. It was fun seeing Gemma gradually lose her shit going up to the cabin, but come on: either Ratboy or Happy would've sensed her nervousness and said "Look, it's nothing bad. Jax just needs your help with something, and we're not allowed to say what," instead of doing their best "Driving Tessio away for his cement overcoat apppointment" impression.

This show is sloppy with continuity itself. Notice how characters (CIA agent Danny Trejo, District Attorney CCH Pounder) and plotlines (SAMCRO's clubhouse being gutted by a bomb, Wayne Unser's cancer) are introduced, get major airtime, then are suddenly forgotten about and never mentioned again. See also Wendy being a major player in Season 1 then falling off the face of the earth for seasons on end.

THIS. For all of the heinous shit Clay did, he never killed anyone unless he thought they represented a direct threat to the club. I believe every episode this season has had Jax kill people who were no threat to him at all. He just killed them because it was easier than not killing them. Juice may be the single dumbest character in the history of television. Yes, come back to the small town ruled by a biker gang that wants you dead and try to make a deal with someone you've never trusted. Great plan, spud. Did anybody else catch when the waitress mentioned Gemma was talking to herself about love and she said "My son." BIG pause, then 'His wife died a short time ago." What's the name for a reverse Oedipus complex? Speaking of the waitress, they should have got Naya Rivera if they wanted someone from Glee. She could have made a witty inside joke or two about her family liking football (her brother Mychal Rivera plays for the Oakland Raiders) and kept the entire sequence from being a snoozefest. Interesting that a couple of scenes were shot at TM, yet we never saw the burned-out clubhouse (which nobody's bothered to rebuild). Maybe it was taken away by the same folks who disposed of Unser's cancer? Finally, Jax's big plan to integrate SAMCRO may not go over so well with some of the other chapters. Did he check with anyone about this, or does he just assume they'll go along with his awesomeness and stuff?

Emma Bell has spent the last three seasons as Bobby Ewing's uber-slut stepdaughter on Dallas. Michael Rooker has been in a ton of stuff, but before TWD, I knew him as the evil TV producer in Kevin Smith's Mallrats.

I always saw that as Rick's final transition from a police officer who was also the leader of his group to someone who was the leader of his group, period. He saw a distressed hitchhiker who was running from walkers but who may have already been bitten by one, or may have been a plant working for the The Governor, and just didn't want to deal with the risk. Season One Rick would have taken the hitchhiker in without question and possibly suffered serious consequences (for instance, if the stranger had been bitten and then turns while they're all crammed in the car together). ITA with everyone else who feels that being brutalized yourself does not lead to brutalizing others on this scale. I see what TPTB were going for, but don't agree with their parallel. Anyone else wish Rick or Carol had point-blank asked the Termites "How are you guys any better than the walkers?"

I can't imagine Netflix or Hulu or whoever resurrecting the show, then dumping the showrunner and nuking one of the major projected Season 4 plotlines. Normally, shows that are cancelled and picked up by another provider ("Taxi" from ABC to NBC, "Arrested Development" from Fox to Netflix) have everything in place and a clear vision of what they want to do. Dumping the showrunner? Not gonna happen. Bottom line is that Dallas is almost certainly finished.

It's not "25% of the required signatures," as this petition is no way sponsored by TNT, Warner Bros or anyone having anything to do with the show. Rather, it's 25% of some arbitrary number that the Causes.org "Campaign Leader" set. TNT will take one look at 50,000 signatures and yawn.

Seriously, seriously doubt it. Barring a change of mind by TNT or it being picked up by Netflix or Hulu or some other provider, Dallas is done.

Continuing a series without a character as identified with the show as JR was with Dallas was always a long shot at best. The closest example I can think of might have been George Clooney leaving ER, and in that case the show had literally years to build up replacement characters (such as Luka Kovac and Abby Lockhart) that would hold the audience's interest. Dallas got one season and a little bit of a second from Hagman before his passing, and it wasn't enough time. Or maybe it wouldn't have worked anyway. JR was truly one of a kind.

If you have Amazon Prime, all six seasons are available for free streaming. Dig in! In the real world, definitely. Their actions would have turned Charming into some kind of National Guard-controlled martial law zone by now and landed half of them on Death Row and rest of them deluxe lifetime accommodations in either Pelican Bay or San Quentin.

"Nightmare?" Really? If you didn't the show, then just don't watch it. Agreed. Cidre introducted a whole buttload of new characters who had jack shit to do with the Ewings. People just stopped caring, and with Hagman's death, there wasn't enough residual interest to keep TVs tuned in.

Honestly, I'm not sure if that's proof of anything other than your distate for the show, which is an opinion obviously shared by others on this board.

No doubt all of the surviving Ingalls children were in the room when their younger siblings were conceived. And supposedly, potty breaks on the wagon trips consisted of stopping the wagon and squatting somewhere. Remember that underwear for women was mostly unheard of in those days.

Was Abel physically picked up by Courtney Love? Um...isn't that putting the child actor in danger of a drug overdose? You know, contact high and whatnot? Doubt it'll amount to anything, but Gemma physically threatening another parent is tres stupid. I had a parent do that to me once in the parking lot at my daughter's grade school. I reported him to the school administration along with his license plate number. Now I don't know what was said after that, but I do know that I didn't see the guy in question back at that school for literally a month and when he DID show up, he went out of his way to avoid and ignore me. My point is that there could be legal repercussions from this that neither Tara nor the club would want. They just can't keep beating the shit out of every civilian who irritates them. Meanwhile, we have two LEOs killed and third one on death's door in a matter of weeks. In the real world, the FBI and possibly National Guard would be out there. But in Sutter's world, we'll probably get nothing more than a lot of frowny faces and solemn declarations by Sheriff Jarry.

IIRC, when Hunnam was initially researching the Jax Teller role he was to play, some MC member told him that shiny white tennis shoes were a biker's symbol of affluence, because shoes get dirty very quickly when you're riding a motorcycle everywhere. Bright white shoes means you have the money to replace them every week or so.

Whatever happened to those noble ideals of the Jax of the early seasons? This makes two straight episodes where he's wiped out a group of people who did nothing to him and were no threat to the club. Last week, I compared him to Charles Manson. I'm starting to wonder if Manson might have slightly more scruples.

To be fair, Cathy Podewell has been out of acting for awhile and sans makeup, she may not look a whole lot like Cally.
