Sons of Anarchy goes Oz

First of all, how cool did SAMCRO look in those orange prison uniforms?

Some thoughts on the episode:

I was kinda hoping that the black dudes would wait until Dante (I think that was their target's name) had his johnson in or around Juice's mouth before bursting in. But, I guess that would have been a little too much for basic cable.

I was really liking the tension built through the heroes' incarceration. I think that they resolved the situation with their bail a little too soon; I would have liked to see the crew sweat it out in jail for at least the entire episode.

I was really pleased that the writers brought back some elements and characters from past seasons with this episode, particularly the reappearance of Agent Stahl. I hope she is back for good. Maybe her guilt over her involvement in Donna's murder will encourage her to help SAMCRO's crusade against the Nazi's in some way. I think Agent Stahl might be a reader of this blog; she agrees with me that maybe SAMCRO should get out of the gun running business. Jax should heed that advice. I am sensing that she and Jax might eventually join forces against Clay.

Speaking of Jax and Clay, I half-expected the two to hug-it-out after their wild prison fracas. (By the way, Jax's face wasn't nearly mangled enough after that fight. He would have definetly needed some reconstructive surgery. Also, if he was smart, he would have gotten in that fight before going to prison, he is way too pretty for jail.)

What do you think about the significance of Jax bringing up the Cohen situation? It seemed like kind of a throw-away line initially, but Stahl's stunned reaction made it seem pretty important. Pretty stupid thing for Jax to say to her, right?

Check back tomorrow for thoughts on Modern Family and whatever else I feel like putting up.
