No shit. And people wonder why some people have a problem with Feds and the upper echelons of Law Enforcement. As far as I'm concerned, that little town, with the arrangements between SAMCRO and the local authorities is pretty good system of keeping the community and the people in it in-check.

I wonder if there isn't going to be a Corleone style conclusion to this season. They've already set up the Belfast SoA's presence for dealing with Chib's family. They can turn Westin against Zobell but in the end both will need bullets. And please let something really bad happen to Zobell's daughter. Jimmy O has to be dealt with and just letting him go down to the ATF might not be the way to keep the Real IRA connection. As well as the father/son IRA dudes. A lot of threads to clip in only two episodes, the last a 90 min one.
They also have been setting Clay up for an end to his presidency. The arthritis would have been enough but now that the Opie deal is more widely known Clay's going to have problems. An interesting idea, depending on what they want to do with Pearlman, is to have Jax succeed at the end of the season or beginning of the next. Being king isn't as simple as being prince and there's the little detail of Stalh knowing what happened to Agent Kohn. He might find being in charge is like riding a tiger.

But they could, over time, infiltrate and assume gradual power as Jax and Opie work their thing stateside. This is just guessing of course, but I can forsee Chibs taking back what was his, and heading back home to his family while overseeing SAMCRO's stateside interests. The other factions are your basic, California gang fodder. I applaud the writers and producers for not going half-assed and just throwing the Russian mob/gun suppliers directly in to the mix because that's not a hard one to figure out. And with the success of the show, I think SAMCRO's battles will have to be fought one at a time and methodically. This was hinted at, more or less, when Jax proclaimed that it was time to get smart and start working the angles. We'll see.

The only issue with slowly working the angles is that there is only 2 episodes left. I have to figure the LOAN situation will be resolved by the closing credits of the season. It could be that the next one sets Zobell and Weston against each other and the finale has SAMCRO delivering the coupe de grace. I'm not sure I've ever anticipated an episode or two more than these next. Defiantly didn't see all the stuff coming up/together in the last one. In there too is the Luann/Big Otto situation and when does Tom Arnorld get his. Or, maybe, Tom's character had nothing to do with Luann. This could easily be saved till next season though.

i couldn't believe how everyone just came clean in this episode. i like the ass kicking that goes on with the show, but this story line has me enthralled. can't wait to see what happens in the next two episodes.

What makes it a really good show is that it goes alot deeper than that with the family dynamics and multiple storyline arcs. The writing is really strong. |

Love Opie. Sometime's it's hard to believe that's the same actor that played Gary Bertier in "Remember the Titans". (Ryan Hurst)

Right, but you can't resolve every story/character arc at the end of this season or basically, there's no more show to write.
