Yea that is right. If the club didnt know about the deal, how'd they know to drive through as quickly as they did? Great point Chainsaw.

Yeah, they knew. I actually think they knew before they went to Belfast, but that is up for interpretation. I'd like to rewatch the season with that in mind and see if anything leads me to believe they know or don't.

One big tipping point for me was how Jax was always meeting with Stahl alone. He just shows up to get $250k by himself? Jax never travels on club business alone. Then he just shows up after they kidnap Jimmy O. to meet with Stahl. Those had me thinking something was up before it happened.

Same for when Unser shows up as they're leaving to get Jimmy O. Clay thanks him for all he's done for the club, implying the $250k. You'd have thought Jax would've interveined to deflect at that point, since he told Stahl he would say he got it from Unser.

Either way, it sets up for a good 4th season. You can see the groundwork is laid for a Gemma/Kara battle.

Who is Kara? You talking about Jax's old lady Tara?

Admittingly I got nervous at that point, but when nothing came of it, my suspicions started to grow.

I would like to know what happened to the bag of guns however.

I know that they were aware of the deal. What I was expanding on was what Chainsaw said. So if they were playing along that they didn't know about the deal, why'd they pass the roadblock so quickly? I think this was one of the major flaws on how they shot that scene.

I agree, although they did wait for Stahl to wave them by. If they don't know what's going on and see the ATF waive them through, they probably go with it. But, definitely some holes there.

I didn't get that. Jax told Stahl to do it this way so the club doesn't think he ratted, that it looks like they're going after the Russians. But, would they really leave a van with Jimmy O. that easily and just take off if that was the case? Does Stahl not see how planned it was for Juice to jump out of the van and on a bike and take off?

Also, there was a huge box of guns in that van, what happened to that, or does the ATF just ignore it for them here?

yea, forgot about that also, cause they made a point during the exchange with the Russians to show Bobby look at the bag of guns.

Man, I don't think I want to watch either Plan 9 from Outer Space or The Walking Dead with some of you guys. LOL! Sometimes you have to shut the brain off and drool while you watch. I understand though. It's rough sitting through the sound effects of cocking a trigger on a Glock.

I think the season finale delivered. Too often I'm just left feeling empty after a season finale. I know several of us felt 'blah' after some of The Shield's. I got my time and monies worth. I'm actually going to watch it again.

And that was a great way for Stahl to go out.

J0eybb · 12-01-2010, 12:00 PM

They clearly knew what was up at that point.

icehog3 · 12-01-2010, 02:31 PM

It's fiction...and entertainment. Take it for what it's worth, over-analyzing takes away from the enjoyment for me, anyway.

Exactly!

Besides... I'm still stunned by Clay's death and the fact that dead prospect Kip and Tara have a test-tube love child. Looks like Cherry will be the new President of SAMBEL, too.

GKitty · 12-01-2010, 02:49 PM

Thank you.

That is all.

Love Bobby's new crew cut, though.

Not to mention his matching bikini wax... might even get back in the good graces of his ex-old lady - "Precious."

Precious....nummy!

I can't believe Tig and Chibs are forming a civil union.

Opie's perm looks very stylish though.

I agree, ofcourse, that it is fiction. But entertainment for me has a lot to do with the plot. All I am saying is that scene with the roadblock had a hole in it. Luckily that scene didnt fuss too much with the rest of the show.
