    <p>[spoiler]After a season that has been dragging the chain on this major point, it sure moved quickly once the seed was sown. I was worried that Sutter would spend a couple of eps with Jax fighting the realisation of the truth.<br>
    I did see one interview with him where he explained that if you look at the timeline of the eps, all of this actually happens reasonably fast. It just seems like weeks because it's one ep per week.<br>
    Thank god Nero has avoided being caught in the fallout. I had thought that could be a plotline.<br>
    As Jax has already laid out his plans to deal with the situation (except what to do about Gemma), this is pointing to some kind of twist I think, otherwise it's just Jax winding up affairs and driving away with Wendy and the kids for a new life.[/spoiler]</p>

    <p>sons</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>[spoiler]Well, that escalated quickly. Great to see Gemma lose everything, including her fucking mind. Poor Jax, he'll be fucked up in the head right now, everything that has gone wrong is all his fault based on a lie from his mum. That's fucked up.<br><br>
    2 episodes to go (a break next week i think? (thanksgiving in the states?), 2 hours to tie it all up. I winder where we are heading, at this stage i have no idea. I still think Jax is going to die, although now i don't think Nero will be the one to kill him.<br><br>
    Nero really is a good character by the way[/spoiler]</p>

    <p>Interesting the EPs this season have all been an hour or more...many other seasons were 45+/- to be an hour with ads...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>[spoiler]Yeah Nero is a great character, alot like Opie I reckon.<br><br>
    Jax will probably have to do a runner too to avoid the wraith of the other Sons chapters.[/spoiler]</p>

    <p>I think Sutter's deal with FX has always allowed him to freedom to have eps as long as he likes. The running times of Sons has always been all over the show, it seems as they've just decided to go long this entire season - despite the fact they have had less of the usual ending song montages.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>[spoiler] Smits is great as Nero, just as he was great as Santos in the final seasons of The West Wing, he seems to have found his niche as the late addition great character to shows. I care more about his fate than I do about any other character's at the moment TBH. [/spoiler]</p>

    <p>Finished a series called Legends (Sean Bean, Ali Larter) who are part of the FBI DCO (Deep Cover Operations?) </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Was ok, I have some issues with the Legends (character they go into when going undercover) but thought it was a good time filler, although some of the fight/battle scenes were a bit clumsy.</p>

    <p>Nepia, have you watched  the new USA comedy Benched (I know you were looking for new comedy shows)?  I have heard it is pretty funny, but have not watched it yet.  Stars Eliza Coupe (Happy Endings, Scrubs) and Jay Harrington (Better Off Ted) The premise is Coupe is a high priced corporate laywer who has a meltdown and ends up as a public defender.  There has only been 3 or 4 episodes, I am planning to give it a try this week sometime.<sup>  </sup></p>

    <p>I've been listening to Alan Sepinwall about its prospects and was waiting for a few more episodes before watching it. Two cast members from two of my favourite comedies!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>My worry with the Happy Endings people is whether they'll still be as funny without each other. Damon Wayans Jr brought down New Girl for half a season before they figured out what to do with him. I didn't really like Adam Pally TBH and haven't liked him on the odd Mindy episode I've seen.</p>

    <p>For the one or two people who were interested a while back, this is apparently the official alternate ending of HIMYM.  Much less controversial</p>

    The walking dead writers are pricks , making me give a shit about Beth and giving her character some depth and then last night..... The most disturbing part was seeing Darrell finally let something get to him and make him cry .<br><br>
    Now I have to wait till February. Pricks.

    Worst bit [spoiler]is I saw a meme on Facebook before I watched with Darryl carrying her body, and despite me scanning past quickly the 3 big letters R.I.P made it all too obvious what was gonna happen.<br><br>
    Seemed a bit of a wasted storyline in the end to me...sucks for Maggie...yay Beth's alive...uh oh Beth's dead...[/spoiler]

    Watching that reminded me why for 4 seasons this was my favourite comedy.
