12 - Another tv ode to Sam Peckinpaw - mindless violence but done in a way that is very entertaining. The Juice stabbing was a basic prison kill scene done by rote. Only things missing were the guards rushing in like Keystone cops at the end & a warden shaking his head in confusion.
The scene where Wayne is just lying on the floor croaked while Gemma looks at old pics struck me as sort of funny. Poor SOB got as little respect dead as he did alive. Appropriate. The garden scene was - to me - some of the dumbest crap have ever seen on tv. Ok, sweetie, time to shoot your mommy. Geeze louise. No wonder Huffman was bawling after listening to that wackadoo nonsense.
Bloody white shoes theme - continuity there. No matter his career, Charlie has shoe commercial offers for the rest of his life. Maybe dress him up like Al Bundy....
Wendy is probably pregnant. Probably a girl. All sorts of possibilities there. Sutter could take that several ways for a future series.
Show became a caricature for me a while back but the "train wreck" deal kept me watching. Very tough to go beyond the 5 season mark for any series plot line, even semi-Hamlet on 2 wheels & guns with some side boob occasionally. Expect last episode to be grandiose, with some unanswered stuff. Has been better than a lot of shows, & a fun watch. Time to wrap it up.
