It wasn't a good episode.
Dogs are cool. So are weird guys who just decide to speak in French. The trick to take out Pope, while implausible (couldn't he get some of the Mexicans to hide out in the warehouse and get the drop on Pope, instead of hoping he could take out four dudes on his own?), was a neat way to clear the decks for next season, although I'm sure Clay will survive by the skin of his teeth (probably via the Irish) in prison. He has as much chance of dying in s6 as Tig had of dying tonight. Nada. But hey, we get a nutty law enforcement officer as next year's mini-boss, because we haven't done that before.
The rest of this episode stunk. Especially the music. Take your pick, the mariachi music while they chased the Mexican dudes, Katey Segal butchering "To Sir With Love", or Jane's Addiction raping "Sympathy for the Devil"? I'm going with Door 3. If only it was Perry Ferrell's dad instead of Meredith Hunter at Altamont, am I right?
Does it make any sense for Gemma to say how she's "dead" without her grandchildren, even though she tried to drive stoned with them in the car, and punches Tara in the uterus? What if there HAD been another grandchild in there?
Drea De Matteo was pretty good on the Sopranos, but I've seen better acting in Jules Jordan movies than her performance in Tara's office. Meanwhile, Maggie Siff's talents are completely wasted on this ####.
The tongue thing was just for dumb shock value. It's not even possible to do that.
But the worst part of the show (except for the Jane's Addiction song) was stupid Bobby "Elvis." Remember when Bobby Elvis used to play Elvis songs, and not just be a stupid fat guy with a dumb beard who was always whinging? At least Margaret from Boardwalk Empire is pleasant to look at, this ####### has become the worst character on TV. I hate his face. Especially his beard. His beard is worse than Hitler.
"I've got a great idea for an underground dogfighting ring. First, we'll hold matches in a warehouse where random people are just parked outside instead of in a secluded area like any proper dogfighting ring. Second, we'll hold fights around 11 AM. And finally, any dogs that die, we'll just put them out with the rest of the trash, because no garbageman is going to notice that and figure out that we're running an illegal dog fighting ring. !Vamanos!"
Honestly,
***k this show. You guys don't even get a song.
See you next year.

This show is getting so over the top it's about to come full circle and collapse on itself.
