Beyond the obvious holy shit factors this season/week brought us I'm having my very own special problem:

I'm so worried for my Juicy-boy (those are Chibs' words not mine) that I'm nearly out of my mind. He's like, all I can think about when I'm riding around listening to Adele and Placebo*. I construct little mini-vids in my head all the freaking time for Juice. I had been wanting to write a Juice/Chibbs, Juice/OFC, Chibbs/same ofc, Juice/same ofc/Chibbs +Tig for a long, long time now. And then this last episode gave me SO MUCH Juice/Chibbs fodder I'm almost at a loss as to what do with it. Not to mention it gave me Tig having a daughter nearly as messed up as he is and now the OFC in my head is Tig's daughter and no, that doesn't change my desire to include Tig in the Juice/Ofc/Chibbs thing. In fact, it makes me want to DO IT MORE.

Kurt Sutter is warping me. I fully intend to write Jax/Trinity during mini-nano

Anyway. Two things really stood out for me this episode. They were shocking, to me, in a way that a lot of the show isn't because it's always shocking and brutal.

1) Gemma said: this is why all mothers should drown their daughters. I'm still not over that. I may *never* be over that. Things like this are why there a lot of people I know who used to watch the show don't anymore. Normally, I'd just roll my eyes and go merrily along, but then this happened

2) Jax kissed Ima and started leading her somewhere. I was so infuriated for Tara [seriously, y'all this is why I *do not ever ship characters*] that I said out loud, "If Jax doesn't kill that bitch I'm breaking up with the show"

I was so immediately horrified by *my* reaction that I was relieved when Jax a) didn't fuck her and b) "only" assaulted her instead of killing her.

3) I still believe she deserved it or worse.

All this indicates:
really amazing storytelling
I can be misogynistic toward imaginary characters
really amazing acting/character embodiment
I may need to stop watching ultra-violent tv shows/movies/comics/etc because I'm immune to violence. Even make-believe violence

*yes. Adele and Placebo are on eternal loop right now. Hey, it used to be Fiona Apple and Placebo. Maybe I've grown a bit.
