Critics Consensus

A tense confrontation is the dramatic high point of "Some Strange Eruption," but the remainder of the episode was strong as well, as loyalties and motivations come into clearer focus.

C+

Given how seemingly helpful and level-headed Gemma has been so far this season, her taking a turn for the murderous is both a bit of a twist and also perfectly within character.

Some Strange Eruption had some good plots twists and turns, which has been the show's bread and butter in the last few years.

4/5

This episode does well in keeping our tensions rising and creating frustration as we wait for the truth to be revealed (much like the frustration we feel as Hamlet whines and dawdles).

[T]here isn't much "Some Strange Eruption" can offer to anybody, be it viewers looking for thrills, or an audience looking for a gritty drama with a bit of substance.

I was happy with this week's episode because I felt that the main plot was the most interesting that it has been so far this season.

I kind of hate how this was played, although it was enjoyable to see Jax get his ass handled for a little while.
