TV: Sons of Anarchy SE5 EP5

Sons of Anarchy
Crime, Drama, Thriller

I cannot help but think about this show for days after every episode, that's a good thing right?

I've figured out who are doing the home invasions! If you don't know and don't want to know, you should probably stop reading this post now but I will tell you that I'm not giving anything away, the clues are all there I just missed them until I had a conversation with a friend about it. Ready.... it's the newly initiated members of the MC who were from another charter... remember when they were first approved and one of them put his leg up on the table? That leg was the same as the one we saw when they broke into Gemma's (Katey Sagal) place and beat up Unser (Dayton Callie). Go back and take another look eh? Sheriff Eli (Rockmond Dunbar) is going to go on a freakin' rampage now that his wife has been injured and very likely lost their baby... bring it I say!

I need to give a very special mention to Walton Goggins (The Shield) who guest starred in this episode as Venus, and boy did he have the best set of boobs I've ever seen or what? I would have loved to have been in the room when they attached those knockers to him! And Tig's (Kim Coates) reaction to her? Brilliant! I did a double take when the kid walked in on Venus and the boys taking photos... it's Marshall Allman who you might recognise as Tommy Mickens from True Blood! Wonder if he's going to stick around for a bit? New prospect maybe? Speaking of guest roles who might stick around, is that the last we've seen of Emma Jean (Ashley Tisdale)? That was quick!

Also good to see Mayor Hale (Jeff Kober) again, seems like him and the MC will have a better working relationship in this season, especially now Jax (Charlie Hunnam) has something to hold over him...

So now they have their new place of business with Nero and even though both Gemma and Nero (Jimmy Smits) are struggling with the no contact rule that Jax has set, it looks like this might work. The MC could get out of the guns and coke and into something more straight laced like Jax has been trying to do since the very beginning, what his father was trying to do before him. Wonder what Clay (Ron Perlman) will do this time? He is being eerily quiet at the moment... makes me wonder whether the guys pulling the home invasions are on his pay role? What do you think?

Tara (Maggie Siff) be careful of that hand will you? You use it too much before the docs say you can and you'll damage it! Trust me, I've got wrist problems, I know what I'm talking 'bout! The Irish discussion between Jax and Galen (Timothy V. Murphy) was a definite highlight.

This show is the highlight of my TV week! Thanks Kurt Sutter!

4 out of 5 ball gags...

Romeo (Danny Trejo): "I didn't know you were going to have entertainment." 

Clay: "Just a little Irish discussion."

Romeo: "Should I be worried?"

Clay: "Nah. It will all end in Guinness and manhood."

TV: True Blood SE5 EP12 - Finale

True Blood
Drama, Fantasy, Mystery

Welcome to the finale, where everyone is hoping all their questions will be answered! Well, guess what? They aren't... If anything, I walked away from this episode with even more questions. It seems they've veered off the plot lines of the books for good! What a great episode though! I laughed out loud so many times; so many one-liners, so many awesome things happened! Let's start shall we?

Russell (Denis O'Hare) is dead! I'm pretty darn sure that was the true death for him. It makes me a little sad that we wont see his crazy face any more... then again, you never know with True Blood, do you? I thought for a bit there that the fairy light thing wasn't going to do anything at all... what a strange death. There's a few of those throughout this episode... Did the light actually kill him or was it Eric with the stake? Pretty sure it was the fairy light... pretty sure!

Nora's (Lucy Griffiths) face when she smelt Sookie made me laugh. *screencaps* I love that Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) had no trouble holding her back from Sookie (Anna Paquin). Trust Eric to have a mountain of cash stashed in the walls of Fangtasia. What the hell is going on with Jason (Ryan Kwanten)? Is that just from the bump on the head or is he going to see his vampire hating imaginary parents forever?

My sister, Cassie and I spent ages trying to figure out whether it was Sam (Sam Trammell) or Luna (Janina Gavankar) that had shifted into Steve Newlin (Michael McMillan). I swore Sam wouldn't let Luna do it, she nearly died after the last time she shifted into another human. Why wouldn't he shift instead of Luna? Then I realized we'd gotten things a little mixed up; Sam isn't a Skinwalker, that was his brother Tommy (Marshall Allman)! Luna surely can't survive another skinwalk though... Can I also say, bravo Sam! Best death ever!

Bill (Stephen Moyer) has gone completely bonkers. We had no idea what he was up to when he told Salome (Valentina Cervi) that Lilith (Jessica Clark) has told him that she had been chosen, but now we all know what a big fat liar he is. All hail Billith!

Alcide (Joe Manganiello) is finally the pack-master! *fistpump* Where did Jackson 'Daddy' Herveaux (Robert Patrick) get this vamp blood and which vamp is it from I wonder...

So, Maurella (Kristina Anapau) eh? See her scoff that salt back like it was less that water? How calmly did Holly (Lauren Bowles) take the whole multiple babies being born out of a shiny fairy vag? Damn! Poor Andy (Chris Bauer), four brand new babies! And wow, Maurella's body just sprang back! Love it!

I could just keep going but then this post will be longer than I'm comfortable with... hell, it already is!

Eric to Jason: Oh sweetie, don't be a fool.

Pam: One of the worst things about being immortal is having to watch the same stupid scenario happen over and over. It's usually the humans though. Guess this proves we're just as fucking retarded as they are.
