All of those, plus casting like Ralph says, yeah. It's especially evident in how the other characters respond. Here's an example from a very recent episode. Ope finds out the secret that Jax and Clay were keeping from him. He and Jax are talking. Ope: You were keeping it secret from me too? Jax: Yes, to protect Clay, same as Clay. Ope: But you felt cranky about it? Jax: Exactly. Ope: Cool. Clay's a real jerk, let's get him. Related: all of the characters are motivated to preserve the status quo, sometimes head-scratchingly, and the writers keep giving them great opportunities to do so. Are they preserving tensions, blocking immediate resolution in order to build to a final gigantic explosive mega-blowout? Possibly, yes. Am I confident that they are? No! I think that maybe they're just flubbing their escalation. Ope: ...But let's not get him right now, right? Jax: Right. Ope: Cool. Got your back, brother. |
