How shocking and brutal was the
death of Opie? Episode 3 of Season 5 of
Sons of Anarchy just blew my mind. Opie
was my favorite character on the show.
He was as real as they got. He was
genuine, honest, intimidating, loveable, and most of all was faithful to the
club. But as they say, you live by the
code, and you die by the code. Why is it
that every character on the show who believes in those words usually is the one
that gets burned the most? Honestly
think of Opie, Otto, Piney, and JT.
Crime has no place for men of honour.
I really didn’t want
to see Opie die. I especially didn’t
like the way he died. It made me want to
see the SONS get revenge on all the guys that killed him. But then the show took a brilliant turn in my
opinion. It made Jax a business man, a
man who didn’t let emotions influence his opinion. He started talking with Damon Pope (a
brilliant actor from OZ), and you could start to see the new level of
storytelling the writers from the show were achieving. Season 5 is about thinking, emotions, and
survival. Something that I haven’t seen
since OZ, and The Wire. So despite
having Opie die, it wasn’t in vain, and the show will keep getting better and
more groundbreaking.
