This terribly long saga of Find the Baby is almost to a close... we think. While it seemed to take forever to get to Belfast, it feels even longer for SAMCRO to get out of this "moss covered hell hole" (thank you, Opie). The seemingly unrelated storylines have made this season feel like a season of
24, where there's obviously a destination we're heading towards while Kurt Sutter & crew throw obstacles in our heroes path haphazardly to keep us all from reaching it before episode 13 (or 12, as the penultimate is oft to do).
There's only three episodes left to the season, so they
had to start to shape things up a bit. So now we're finally getting some good John Teller in Ireland back story, and a return to Jax's issues with 'the patch' guided by his father's legacy text and more father-son relationship /
Hamlet-like undercurrent. And then there's the unconscious incestual yearnings... Shakespearean much?
Musically, it was great to hear the short-lived UK garage rock dynamos The Beat Up (formerly The Beatings) with "Messed Up" as the opening jam. Their US debut (
Black Rays Defence, recorded by MBV's Kevin Shields) arrived in 2005 and they toured with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the Liberines and even a reunited Stooges. So much potential there, but they never made another album. Guitarist/vocalist Nick Pankhurst is currently a touring member of Duke Spirit while Dino Gollnick lends his bass expertise to Ladytron.
