Sons of Anarchy: Laying Pipe (2012)
Season 5, Episode 3
1/10
Too far....
27 September 2012
Warning: Spoilers
What happens to Opie in this episode is too far.

It's extreme for the mere sake of being extreme.

In the previous episode, he shows up to stand by Jackson's side. It was an amazing moment. Then this crap - it's like the writers grasp and grope to bring everyone to the brink of disgust at some of the characters. Take Gemma, for example. All of a sudden she goes to Jax's ex-wife?? Seriously? The Gemma in this season is a caricature of her old self, and again it's for the sake of creating more drama. The show is dramatic enough, and Jax is in a tough enough situation, but this need to top last season has created unrealistic characters and situations that I just can not stomach any more.

I'm done with the show. I stopped watching at that point, deleted the show from my DVR, and I'll not watch another episode.

Furthermore, I was on the verge of buying the previous seasons on DVD. Now, thankfully, I'm saved the cash.

Cheers, folks.
