Son's of Anarchy, Season Three, Episode Six

Fox is still screwing all of the Dish Network customers who have fallen in love with this show. According to the satellite provider Dish they are still in negotiations with Fox trying desperately to get the show back for their angry customers. Shame on all of you! Give us the damn show back. Pay the vig Dish before we all switch over to the other satellite provider! The clocks ticking….

Tuesday nights episode was another nail biter with a great twist I certainly didn’t see coming. I’m happy to report that Opy spent the entire episode without that stupid hat on. May the saints be praised! I also must give coo-dos to Alvarez who reminds me of a real Mexican outlaw biker I came across many years ago. From his speech, to his walk and his mannerisms it’s tight! He has nailed this part much like the writers have nailed the difference in styles between Mexican clubs and white motorcycle clubs, in everything from the style of dress, to the style of their bikes. Interestingly enough in the real world those types of clubs allow the other race membership. Hence the saying “If you’re white it’s alright and if you’re brown you can come around”!

As Gemma recounts the events that led up to and included her killing Sobel’s daughter I nearly fell off my cushy recliner when she pointed to Agent Stahl’s partner and current bed warmer. Nice twist and yes we can all believe that dear June would throw even her lover under the bus. So now we know how agent Stahl plans to clear her own name along with Gemma’s. You go girl.

In true outlaw club fashion the club is broke. The mercenary wouldn’t refund the money and they need cash to get them to Ireland. In this episode we learn their bail hearing finally gets pushed back long enough for them to make the trip. With Oswald’s help they now have the transportation to get them across the pond but alas no cash. Since the Mayans bitch club is riding shotgun on the horse they ship to the Stockton prison Clay understands he can kill a couple of birds with one drugged out spoon.

The boys hijack the van filled with the heroin running off the Calaveras. Cleverly Clay returns the dope to the Mayans as a peace offering ending the bloody war. The Calaveras get beat up and run off and Juice gets his cut and his respect back. Now peace will regain in Charming the major point that got lost in the ciaos. The Son’s collect a nice fat envelope full of cash every time one of the Mayans vans passes through Charming unharmed.

Jax reluctantly solicits Tara to help the club unload the HIV med’s. In the process of the transaction they are spotted by the remaining Nord Lord who rats them out to Hails politically motivated brother. Hence the clubhouse is raided with Sheriff Unser in tow and not so much as a heads up was heard. Thus telling Clay how low he is on the Sheriffs totem pole. The shock hits Jax hard when he learns what the cops were looking for and suspects the doctor they sold the stuff to gave them up. His fear of Tara getting into trouble comes to roost and in his confusion he ends his relationship with the mother of his unborn child.

Written well and played well proving men are simply stupid. When you are loved the way she loves him it isn’t going to end in spite of his attempt to wash his pain away by dipping his pen in some whore’s ink! Yea that will fix it, like I said men are stupid.

Happy is now a Redwood Original and lets face it they need some fresh meat. They hang prospect patches on the three blind mice. Dopey, Peewee and Dumbass have no idea what they are in for. This could make for some great laughs in future episodes. I question the choice of actors selected to play the prospects can I get a “amen” here. These boys look more like Dungeons and Dragons players than possible additions to an outlaw motorcycle club. Unless its maybe oh I don’t know the Bad News Bears Biker Club. In Hollywood your telling us you can’t find some young guys that look more like the part they are about to play? Call me I’ll find you a few.

Lastly the intrigue and bad blood between our favorite lunatic Tig and the wannabe Tacoma transfer Kozic. There is more than a little bad blood between the two. The reason for this bad blood remains a mystery. Tig tells his brothers he doesn’t trust the man then votes down Kozic’s chance to become the latest member of the Redwood Originals. This results in a good old fashioned bare knuckles brawl between the pair after church. There is nothing like a little brotherly love to clear the air although in this case it may not have dome the trick.

Call me crazy but this season just continues to get better and better leaving me on the edge of my seat wondering how the hour could have passed so quickly. It has enough unanswered questions dangling in the breeze to keep a person impatiently waiting for the next installment.

Six Shooter Sally gives this episode five shots out of six for the simple reason that the shows three new prospects are pathetic and not at all believable in their rolls which I hope are short lived.
