<p>Sons</p>
<p>[spoiler]Unser had to die. That was his story arc. It was either going to be by Jax or some other way, but the situation created the perfect opportunity for him to go.<br>
He basically had nothing left ('This is all I've got'), he had cancer and all of his previous motivations had gone. Remember when he just tried to bail out of life and go bush in his trailer? Gemma was his motivation to keep doing something other than get stoned. His job protecting Charming had gone. His relationship with Gemma had gone. His relationship with the club had also gone for any good intent.<br>
When he said 'this is all I have left' it could have been taken a couple of ways. One is that he would have earned back a small amount of respect with his peers by bringing in Gemma and solving the case, the other was that he was trying to save Gemma's life as she was the only small thing left he had feelings for.<br>
The show seems to be all about consequences and remember that the catalyst for much of the shit in this story is Gemma and Clay killing JT. Unser was complicit in covering up the fact and even though Jax only pinned it on Clay (other lie), if he hadn't done that Clay would not have been Pres, the club wouldn't have gone so far down the bad path etc etc.<br>
Yes, he could have been collateral damage in whatever goes down in the last episode but this had a better tie in with the events of the story.<br>
Sutter has made comment in interviews about 'who will be the narrator', as in who will be the character that carries the story all of the way through. Well we now know it won't be Gemma and it won't be Unser. Kind of points to Jax or Wendy as Bones says[/spoiler]</p> -
I suspect with a grand finale of a long running series it will always disappoint plenty of fans for any number of reasons...Lost, Dexter are 2 that I wasn't happy with off the top of my head.

[spoiler] well, no surprises, and the end was obvious from well out.. At least it completed the story arc and didn't get gimmicky.. The end was the worst bit of blue screen effect since the 1950s though. Surely they could have done that shot better. [/spoiler] -

<p>Finished watching the first season of the <em>Gomorrah </em>TV series. Pretty good stuff. Well shot, lots of action, plenty of plot twists, and appropriately grim.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>8/10</p>

<p>A bit up and down, there's a lot of stupid stuff around Carrie but the 24 like stuff has been great. MUch better than seasons 2 & 3.</p>

<p>he is tied up with a pilot for a new show at the moment though called 'The Bastard Executioner'. </p> -
<p>Finally I have got around to watching <strong>Boardwalk Empire</strong>. First episode switched between flashbacks to Nucky as a kid and seeing "what made the man", Nucky in Cuba anticipating the end of the Bolstead Act (Prohobition) and Roosevelts election, Chalky in a prison gang, Luciano joining a "new family" and Nucky's ex Margaret in a New York stockbrokers firm and the subsequent fall out from the depression.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kept me interested enough to watch the next episodes</p> -

<p>you should definitely watch the whole Season 4. It's great and pretty much stands on its own as a story. 2 and 3 have their good bits, but a lot of silly stuff (teenage drama??) inbetween.</p>
<p>Though it would have been a bit better to watch from Ep 1 onwards instead of from where you are and now from 1 ;)</p> -

<p>I got the feeling at the end of series 1 it was going to go the way of lost and probably bore the hell out of me with crap about Brodie and Carrie trying to make their relationship work. I meant to watch season 4 from the start because I heard Brodie had taken a dirt nap and Carrie was going to Pakistan. Might watch it from the start if the rest is as good as that episode, not interested in 2 and 3 though.</p>

<p>Does anyone watch that show with the navy ship full of survivors of a plague and is it worth a look ?</p>
