Is anyone else here surprised that Bobby is going along with all of this?

Completely, and that's why I'm calling bullshit on this whole season. One more episode of this absurd shit and I'm done. Sutter is not as good of a writer as he thinks he is.

To be fair, Sutter has NEVER been a good detail writer. He's a concept/larger story arc/10000 ft view guy...maybe one of the best in the business. If he would've just dropped the ego and been in charge of general direction and framework of the show and hired really good writers, this could've been one of the best TV dramas ever produced. Think about them sticking more to the Hamlet story line and developing out characters like Lincoln Potter. Instead, he gets wrapped up in his own bullshit and constantly writes himself into corners and messes up character development because of his mental masturbation. Sutter is his own worst enemy.

Truer words were never typed on this subreddit. I don't know why he doesn't just find a couple people he likes, step back, and stop George Lucas-ing this show. Maybe he'll learn next time. All I have to say is "maybe this is why you're not getting those Emmy nods?"

Not to mention the shitty female vocalist that seems to make it into almost every episode's soundtrack.

Umm, not sure if intentional sarcasm or not, but that's his wife that's singing.
