On the Death of Richie Cunningham

SPOILER ALERT
 
Ok, so I'm not sure why I bothered to put the spoiler alert at the top as at the time of writing this the blog is still not available to the public, and also I famously do not believe in spoiler alerts because I doubt the possibility of things being spoiled by knowledge of the end and if you are concerned with that happening you have a moral responsibility to see things when they become available and not wait... I see many things before they are widely available or at least as soon as possible but that is because as you might have guessed by the fact that I have a blog, I have no life... But yeah last night on Sons of Anarchy they killed the coolest character on the show, and one which was being criminally under emphasised all along. OPIE IS DEAD! and by the way did you like my tricky way of titling this post so that those cry babies wouldn't be able to say I spoiled it before the spoiler alert... oh you don't get it? well you see Richie Cunningham from Happy Days was played by Ron Howard (I'm almost sure having never actually watched Happy Days), who played Opie on the Andy Griffith Show (I am completely certain despite having never watched this show either, so for the love of God don't tell me how either show ends, I'm told one involves pie and the other a jukebox...) Ok yeah so I am still processing the fact that they killed off Opie and wondering who I am going to dress up as for Halloween this year... Maybe get myself a prison uniform and some fake blood and go as Opie from the end of the episode...? He had kids for god sake and that hot porn star (ex-?)wife who I was sure he was going to get back together with. And I don't think he ever found out that it was Clay who ordered the hit on his first wife... so much story to be told there. He was Jax's real moral center even more so than Tara plus he just looked the most Fucking Bad-Ass even more so than Chips with the face scars... Tig or Happy might be the real most Bad-Ass but I mean really being Bad-Ass and still a good human being is more Bad-Ass than being a scum bag like Tig. Happy seems cool enough, with all the tattoos commemorating people he has killed obviously a socio-path but nice enough... Also just the fact that he was the same actor as the defensive captain in Remember the Titans is amazing and he served as the greatest possible proof that beards make people cooler...
 
 
 
Boom.
 
Rest in Peace Ope. All things considered sacrificing yourself to save your best friend is a BAD ASS way to go.
