Clearly, these folks have also never read big, glittery roman à clefs ala Judith Krantz or Jacqueline Susann.
I haven't, and I've not read much Faulkner nor have I seen much Fellini. So I guess I wouldn't get the whole point.
But, I'm here to see if anyone watched last night's Sons Of Anarchy, and what they thought. Also, I just remembered that last week's episode passed the Bechtel (sp?) test, which pleased me (possibly more than it should, but this is an amazingly male-centric show, so). And fuck Hamlet, Gemma's Lady Mac is reaching Lear in her obsessiveness. I think. I should flesh that one out.
I haven't watched it yet, I've been catching up on eps. I'm really enjoying it though.
What's the Bechtel test?
Isn't that where two women have a conversation that isn't about a man?

Ayup. I had resigned myself to the show not passing that test ever, so it was a nice bonus.
What ep are you on, Vortex?
Just finished "AK-51" about the guns and Taryn Manning getting thwacked in the face with a skateboard.
That moment, for all it was telegraphed, was still a Holy Shit! moment for me. And then I loved Gemma even more (though I do not condone thwacking people across the face with a skateboard).
What I loved the most is that she just sat down on the curb and waited for the police.

Yep. Well, what else are you going to do? And it's not like her family's unused to the pokey. Clay & Gemma's fight as she was being walked to her cell was also a thing of beauty.

oh, yeah.
I really didn't like Ally Walker's character. I did like her ratting out the rogue ATF agent, tho.
I wasn't surprised when the doc mentioned the restraining order to the rogue!ATF agent, because when we were told that the name was redacted, I knew that the guy had to be in law enforcement.
I wonder if the gun that Gemma gave the doc was clean, or has it been "used" before.
Mad Men nears deal for third season.
