Sons of Anarchy Season 5 Airs on September 4, 2012

[The Lonious Monk]

I def see what you mean monk. It didn't bother me they killed him, but it did just seem too easy. It would have made way more sense if his number 2 was in on it or something. I know it went against Pope's character to let his emotions get th best of him but i really do believe his lust for vengeance was supposed be his downfall

Yeah, I could have seen it better if the number 2 was in on it, or if they at least did a better job of establishing that the number 2 wanted Pope's spot and therefore let things proceed in a way that would lead to Pope's downfall.

They didn't do anything like that though. They kinda just took Pope out of his character to let him die and then turned around and made number 2 not give a fuck even though he knew full well Jax was responsible.

or why he wouldn't just off Jax and take that $5 million.

but i dont think the show did a bad job of leading up to Pope's murder. I feel like it was fairly obvious in the show that he would die. or at the very least, he wouldn't be handing over Tig to die...the interesting part was seeing how Jax would pull it off.

Yeah, Pope dying wasn't bad and the writing was on the wall for it. I think they just rushed the execution. They had a lot of things to tie up in the season finale, so it's understandable something got the short end of the stick. Still Pope was a good character so it does suck a little that they basically stomped on his character a little to finish up his storyline.

I'll admit I definitely didnt see Pope getting wacked. It didnt seem smart and the way it was handled also felt like Sutter was backed into a corner and didnt know how to write his way out of it. The whole sequence of him getting killed was terribly written.

I got to agree with this. Pope didn't need jax to hand tig over. His nigga had the entire police department on his payroll.

Only thing that made this finale feel like a season finale was Tara getting arrested. The rest was disappointing to me. *shrugs

Pope getting murked like that was meh......and Clay gonna be back...can't see him getting murked...better storyline would to have a beef between him and Jax....think Tara gon do some time in the bing. Not at the hands of Gemma tho, I think the US Marshall got something to do wit it.

Just finished watching Season 5, Pope was too trill but I knew he was going to get murked but not like that.
