I think she chose him. She asked the guy whether he had kids. He gave the right answer "No, didn't think I'd make it this far." Wrong answer for him.
Man, part of the reason I don't wanna watch it is that they have gotten me to hate Gemma so very much. Talk about a black widow. I wonder how long Jimmy Smits has for that matter.
I am pretty sure everybody will die by the end of the season, fwiw. Trending!
Generally, when a show can make you hate a character, they are doing a good job. Remember in the Howard Stern movie, the guy says "people who like him listen 10 hours per week; people who hate him listen 20?" Same goes for us with shows where there are characters we love (jax, etc), coupled with characters we HATE.
Plus, you know someone is doing a solid job of writing and casting when that happens..
It has clearly become the Gemma show... Sigh
This. I am so annoyed that is the direction they decided to go again. It's stupid. We have done this twice in the last two seasons and they were both really disappointing. No one is THAT stupid to just kill some guy because their insane mother said so, again! They make Jax out to be this brilliant, plotting, mostly rational leader, who has moments of weakness when it comes to family or club. But then they contradict that as he thinks the clearest when it comes to those and comes up with some CRAZY plans that no one predicts that are sheer brilliance.
Besides, I thought he hated her guts still?
Anyway, bums me out that the writers were lazy and took the easy road with the same plot approach: psychopathic mother tricks son again to do bidding.
I was really hoping this season would have been fun, with a fucked up twisted ending. You know, pillage, plunder, general mayhem that we've come to expect from these guys. Get all cozy with the other gangs, make it a golden era. Then have it all come crashing down with some crazy downward spiral weird stuff that keeps you guessing.
But no, mom plot. Fail.

Also, funny that I've been watching the Soprano's with the wife for the last few months. Amazing how many similarities there are in the activity stereotypes, etc. Organized crime is all one and the same I guess? :shrug
