I don't know about everyone else but I saw episode 2 as a confusing let down... Not confusing in the obvious way but confusing in the way of why is this happening?
The Gemma/Father/Caregiver storyline is just way too out there for me. I love Gemma, her character brings a layer of cynicism and bad ass feminism to the show that no other character could deliver. I guess seeing her with her father to me portrays a unnecessary and weaker person. Even weaker than after the Gang Rape. Although watching her point the gun at the seemingly innocent Guatemalan girl was our typical Matriarch. I hate to say this but so far, I do not like where Sutter is bringing the story with Gemma being on the LAM. Almost hurts for me to say that because this is the first detail of the show I have not enjoyed. The sex scene with Tig & the Guatemalan girl was awkward and really who does that? Albeit, it was hot! To me this Gemma & Daddy crap seems a little forced.. I wasn't into it at all. Where usually I am glued to the TV.
The rest of the episode was great. I loved the Bounty Hunter scene! Juice's usual comic relief "Damn Hybrids, they're dangerous". I also enjoyed seeing the rougher more violent side to Jax. The way he took out that girl with a head butt shows how ruthless he will probably remain until the recovery of his son.
Is it just me or could anyone understand a word of Gaelic? I had my HD TV on Max Volume at 82, and I could barely make out what they were saying! I will have to watch again to make sure I didn't miss anything important, but I am pretty sure I caught the gist of it with Cameron's murder.
This episode wasn't as captivating to me as the episodes before it. I am sure this is not a sign of things to come.
