Ooooh - you are SO GOOD! Do you write meta? Someone needs to write meta for this show!
Chibs first - yes, the full body protection in the ice cream shoppe. We've seen that before, you know. Way back in S1.2. When he protects a civilian. It was the inspiration for my first Chibs fic - http://archiveofourown.org/works/259098 :) We could have had a lot more of the scene last night though. Driving her home???? I'm still processing that. Of course, its just so implausible, but like I said, I'm going with all the reaches this season. How else could we keep watching? Who knew Chibs is a hand holder?
Tig. My Lord. I'm just gobsmacked by the Venus/Tig thing. Again....just going with it. Yeah, Coates is a talent. I hope so many of these guys find work after this year.
Fantastic observation about the silencers! So thematic and parallel. The two people who actually have information that needs to be HEARD are trying to silence the other. That was nicely done.
Nero. Smits is hitting it hard. Such a great TV actor.
Comedy two weeks after Tara is butchered in her kitchen???? I mean, really?
my meta is the most half-assed. someone has to be writing it for soa, tho.
you can't expect me to remember what happened in s1! i have a hard time remembering what happened last season. >.< chibs and althea just seems so... implausible is a good word. but some of the show is - i mean, the sons finding out that the guy they killed is involved in a property deal with august marks, and then digging up his phone and learning he'd spent time with venus was a lot of coincidence. i loved that chibs is apparently a hand-holder, tho. it was a tender little moment. weird, but sweet.
i think venus/tig works because kim coates and walton goggins are good enough to sell it. and tig is so sincere. he's such an odd character - he's perverted and profane and he sided with clay when clay was trying to split the club and didn't he kill opie's wife back in s1, thinking she was opie? but he seems dedicated to jax and the sons and he's such a dog person - he and kozik fell out over a dog the way guys fall out when one steals the other's girlfriend, and there was that dog-fighting ring they broke up and he took one of the dogs - and he's totally smitten with venus, like genuinely head over heels, and there's just this big softie inside him. and then he says or does something and you think "jesus christ, tig, you are sick." but kim does such a fantastic job. he'll probably always be tig to me, tho, so anything he's in after soa i'll see him and go "tig! no, wait".
a big chunk of this season hinges on what gemma is and isn't telling jax about tara. i mean, he went after lin because that's where she pointed the finger, and the retaliation after that is like dominoes falling. you have to wonder how aware she is of all the carnage that's due to her silence, and how much it does or doesn't weigh on her. but i think her sense of self-preservation is way too strong for her to ever tell anyone the truth - and i think she's also keeping quiet so as not to hurt jax, because as fucked-up as her methods sometimes are, she wants to protect him and his kids, and how horrifying for him if she were to admit that she killed the woman he loved, because tara was going to inform on the sons and take thomas and abel away.
altho jax and lin were already on the outs over the guns, weren't they? i had the hardest time following all the gun deals.
i wondered if juice put the silencer on because of wendy, like maybe he was going to use it on her. altho i don't know why he'd think he'd have to shoot her, aside from he might be desperate and crazy enough to do anything to get back to the mc. he's kind of been the show's whipping boy for the past few seasons, and i occasionally just want sutter to put him out of his misery already, because it's so sad to watch.
