Sons of Anarchy - Season 5

I liked the casting of Walton Goggins as Venus Van Dam, the transgender escort. He's the 6th former cast member of The Shield that's now appeared on Sons of Anarchy. Who's next? Maybe we'll see Michael Jace (Officer Julien Lowe) as one of the One-Niners. I was LMAO of the interplay between Goggins and Kim Coates (Tig).

Was anyone else totally confused by the tit and thumb in the box?

I figured it out, but that might have needed a setup in some way.

 

I don't know what was more disturbing, Venus Van Dam or the fat guy with no clothes on.

 

They showed that part in the "on previous episodes" intro, when the latin gang let them take the girl (the lovely but not-so-talented Ashley Tisdale if you missed it), but demanded a tit and a thumb to prove she was dead. Jax told one of the guys to see who one of their connections at the morgue was burning and get them a tit and a thumb. Thought it was a good ending with all the emotional stuff Jax was dealing with at that moment.

And Boyd Crowder (Goggins) as the transvestite hooker was hilarious. That scene dragged on a bit long, but it was pretty good stuff.

Wonder what's going to happen when Gemma and Nero inevitably hook up. I'm a little lost with the home invasion angle. Is it the three newcomers that Jax and Co. sort of called out in the club meeting who are behind it?

 

I doubt it. When Unser was jumped, they made it a point to show one of the attackers had a fake leg.

 

I recall someone here saying that, but I don't know what that means. I don't recall anyone with a fake leg in previous episodes.

 

I'm pretty sure it's the three new guys that are in the Sons. You saw the big guy with the goatee looking at the marriage license when they were dumping the safe in the dumpster.

 

No matter who are the guys actually doing it, Clay is behind it.

 

Interesting. Hadn't thought of that. Think he's doing it t make the club look bad under Jax? Guess that would make sense.

 

He's the first guy I thought of. But, in recent weeks, I've been changing my stance. Maybe it's Nero behind the break-ins. I know, doesn't make much sense at the moment. It's just a small hunch I have right now.

 

Those break-ins were happening before the club met Nero.

 

My thoughts were that he may be in line with the Lobos? The other cartel, that's their name I believe. It may make sense since the break-ins seem to be about obtaining personal info and not valuables or sending messages.
