I havent seen this scene yet, but going by reactions on the net it involves a heap of violence?

US dramas seem to be pushing the violence hard these days.


Some vague spoilers of SoA and Breaking Bad:

Spoiler :
Gus's scenes from breaking bad werent just violent but his calculated manner made them all the more horrific. SoA in the recent season also turned it up with Pope and his altercations with Tig. And then there was Opies scene in prison.
I'd refer to myself as pretty desensitised, but I struggled to watch that. I find these different to the likes of Saw where it is just violence for violence sake.

I guess this also adds compliment to the writing, as I didnt want to lose these characters from their respective shows, and that its the mental aspect as well as just watching blood spill.

Reading the reactions online has made me want to get back to watching the show. I stopped halfway through the second season and haven't got around to picking it up again.

Not a heap of violence, just so so so not expected, Unless you have read the books.

Superb show, and superb episode, I am amazed it aired in NZ just hours after it aired in the states!

Is worth it Scunner!

I pretty much expected it. Not since ages ago, but the whole ep kinda built up for it.
No way was that girl ever going to make the wedding, kinda gave it away.

Could have been worse, imagine if winz had given her the dole, then she'd still be here, and we'd be paying for her to go to the pub!

more to the point - why should you get welfare when you haven't paid taxes?

OOSH!

Because fuck our entire foreign population. You shouldn't be allowed on our roads, in our health systems or in our educations.

OI, YOU, FUCKING INFANT BABY, I'M PUNTING YOU OFF THE BUS, YOU'VE NOT PAID YOUR TAXES SO NO PUBLIC TRANSPORT FOR YOU.

I have no problem with Foreigners - if you work, you pay taxes - if you have paid taxes you are entitled to the perks of 1st world living. Infants can't work so are kinda exempt from this idea.

I just take a dim view of someone seeing that other people have life better than they do, moving to that location and expecting other people to pay for them to live without contributing anything
