This show really knows how to tug on your heart strings huh. I'm reviewing as I watch so I don't know what happens next but up to this point, nothing in this show has hit me like Opie's death. There's been a lot of tear jerkers but this is the one that got me to bawl.
There was a lot of foreshadowing after Donna's death. Opie risked his life several times so you had a feeling his death was inevitable but nothing could've prepared me for this moment. Opie forcing the police to put him in the pen by head-butting the guard was much like his character and this was the "get out" card he always wanted. The combination of the anxiety, screaming and banging made this feel like the longest 5 minutes of my life.
The acting from all 4 Sons and the little details in the scene was incredible to say the least. Chibs screaming and pounding on the window. Tig looking away because he can't bear to see what he essentially caused. Jax crying while watching but looking away once he's dead, as they continue to strike Opie's corpse. You could see a flick being switched in Jax as his eyes turn stone cold. I have a feeling things are going to get a lot more darker in the following episodes but that's what I'm all for.
This was the perfect ending for a guy who felt he had nothing more to lose and was one of the hardest scenes I've had to watch. RIP to my favourite Ope.
