I agree 100% Even the musical guest went down the drain tapered off IMO when he died. At first it immediately reminded me of NY Undercover with a new musical guest every episode but as soon as he died its like the age of the musical guest dropped almost 30 years. His laugh was even classic.

He was good and well-acted but the character was a minor boss in the grand scheme of things. Which is why what happened in a certain episode happened.

That's not why it happened at all.

It pretty much was. For Diamondback (The higher up) to show up and takeover, Cottonmouth had to be removed. They even had the characters in the show say the same thing. Cottonmouth spent the first half worrying about and answering to Dimaondback. It was all building up for Diamondback to come in an off him.

Cottonmouth was the lowest ranking boss and thus disposable. He just got a lot of screentime to make you think he was bigger than he actually was.

I'm not done yet but when I saw Cottonmouth get fukked up I was hoping somehow he'd come back maybe even altered somehow but that doesn't look to be the case.

When I first read the thread title I thought it said Diamondback because it was after "am I the only one who loved".

Everyone loved Cottonmouth. Diamondback was the divisive one.

Feels like a shock thread to me :francis:


Cottonmouth is unanimously regarded as the best part of the show by damn near everybody whether they rated it highly or not :mjlol:

Can't lie...when cottonmouth was down to 250k after Luke pillaging, I was wondering how the fukk was he still holding court with that little income left? :mjlol:
