Sons of Anarchy

[BuckeyeRed27]

Anybody watch this show? It's on FX and about half way through Season 2 right now. I missed S1 but plan on getting it on DVD, but S2 is amazing. Fantastic stories and acting. I believe her name is Katy Segal (played Peg Bundy) is amazing. Some of the best stuff I've seen on TV.

[RosieRed]

Great show, pretty intense at times. Katy Segal IS amazing in it, absolutely. I can't imagine not having watched S1 and jumping into S2, but I'm glad you're liking it!

[LoganBuck]

I roll with SAMCRO as well.

This season is a little too over the top for my liking. It is like they have to try to make each episode more extreme than the last. They haven't spent enough time building characters. They keep pushing the Clay/Jax thing and I don't like how they are handling it.

Did you know that Kurt Sutter, the series creator, producer, sometimes director, is the actor that plays Otto, the incarcerated member of SAMCRO?

[GIK]

Excellent show. Great programming on FX.

[gilpdawg]

Amazingly awesome show. Katey Sagal is brilliant.

[LoganBuck]

Next week's episode looks awesome!

SAMCRO in the big house.

[gilpdawg]

Well, I was wondering how they were gonna drag this storyline out farther, because as far as I could tell, there was nothing else to do with Arkin and Rollins besides the endgame. This little diversion changes things.

[gilpdawg]

Next week's episode looks awesome!

SAMCRO in the big house.

And it WAS awesome. Juice and the gay guy was cracking me up. It's rare that a show like this can bring the comedy at times too. I liked that scene with Stahl and Jax as well. That look on Stahl's face when Jax asked her if she had seen Kohn was great acting by Ally Walker.

[BuckeyeRed27]

I was a few episodes behind but finally caught up this weekend. Love what's going on. They are building multiple story lines and weaving them together very nicely. Also Jax is such a cool character.

[FutureRedsGM]

"Special" hour and a half episode tonight. Should be good . . .

"Special" hour and a half episode tonight. Should be good . . .

Read on another site that of tonight's hour and a half episode only 56 minutes will be TV show. Which is more than normal, but expect longer than normal commercial breaks.

[GIK]

They're previewing "Avatar" at some point during the broadcast. Regardless, I'm definitely tuning in to SOA tonight.

Beginning of the show tonight is pretty darn good.

On a side note, Marty Brennamen announced tonight on Eddie and Tracy that he also rolls with SAMCRO.

[Stephenk29]

ok dumb question, I've seen most of both seasons, but still dont get what SAMCRO stands for. What am I missing here?

When Clay shoved the stuff off the desk, and they got busy? Now that is Romantic.

Sons of Anarchy can make burning a tattoo off with a blow torch look beautiful.

All kidding aside, it was cool.

Did you notice Tara and the Pornstar Lyla having a nice chat outside.

Haha sorry...I always watch this on DVR and was one week behind. I was talking about the scene where Gemma tells Clay and Jax what happened to her.

How entertaining was it to watch Tara go nuts on the hospital administrator? That wasn't something I expected to see.

Biggest Cliffhanger Ending Ever.

Darn you Kurt Sutter, Darn you.

What kind of a monster are you?

[gilpdawg]

That was insane.

[BuckeyeRed27]

Amazing ending. The scene where he takes the baby was really hard to watch, but in a good way.

I really hope that isn't the last of Zobel either.

Season Premiere TONIGHT:D

[redhawkfish]

I have an honest question for you guys. I have never seen the show, but this thread has intrigued me. Would it be useless for me to start watching tonight, if I have no knowledge of the characters or previous plot lines?

Well you'll probably get the general idea and they usually do a 'previously on...' but it wouldn't have anywhere near the impact that it would have for someone who's already watched the first two seasons.

[LoganBuck]

Another episode of madness.

I am still spinning on this one. The last 2 minutes were crazy again. I have absolutely no idea where this is going.

At least we know Abel is alive, but apparently in Belfast? We know that SAMCRO has a contact/charter(?) in Belfast from previous seasons.

Tig's buddy wants to come back to Charming?

A drive by at a funeral?

Kurt Sutter said last season that nothing happens in a vacuum on this show. He means it.

[Danny Serafini]

OK, who saw that ending coming?

[LoganBuck]

I have an honest question for you guys. I have never seen the show, but this thread has intrigued me. Would it be useless for me to start watching tonight, if I have no knowledge of the characters or previous plot lines?

The previous seasons are available on DVD/Bluray. There are only 13 episodes per season, so you could bang both previous seasons out in a week. You won't regret it. This show is awesome.

[Tom Servo]

That ending was completely awesome and unexpected. wow.

[Tom Servo]

Tig's buddy wants to come back to Charming?

Lem!

Not only is there a charter in Belfast, but one of the "First Nine" is in Belfast leading that charter IIRC.

[LoganBuck]

Last night's episode was ok, but I had trouble understanding the Irish "priest".

What was he saying, and what is their plan with Abel?

[gilpdawg]

Don't really know the plan for Abel yet. I have to turn the captions on when the Irish people are talking, even Chibs.

Can you do that when a program is recorded on the DVR?

I can on mine :dunno:

[LoganBuck]

Great episode tonight.

Gotta love Steven King as "The Cleaner". Gotta love his quotes "Does the drain in that sink work?" "Who?"

Also loved the payment. Gemma hands him $1600 and Tig says "Take whatever you want", The Cleaner surveys the room, and picks up some trophy or statue and walks out.

We get to meet the Belfast Sons, and Cherry is back.

Fun stuff all the way around.

[LoganBuck]

This season is off the hook, tonight's episode was a game changer.

[BuckeyeRed27]

I was a couple episodes behind but finally caught up this week. This show just keeps getting better and better. The Belfast episodes have been awesome. I just really hope that Jax and Trinity don't hook up.

[LoganBuck]

Umm, WOW!

Seriously the most satisfying episode of any show ever.

[gilpdawg]

That was crazy. I thought somehow Jax was going to screw Stahl but I didn't think it was going to go down like that.

30-primitive man strives to find balance in life between a father and his new participation in a biker gang. Sons of Anarchy has some of the most surprising and have never seen.Sons of anarchy, which SAMCRO, a motorcycle gang, which operates in both legal and illegal businesses in the city's charm.

[RiverRat13]

Fun season finale. But I'm even happier with the cliffhanger. The show was originally based upon the conflict between Jax and Clay over the direction of the club. Season 2 glossed over it while Season 3 pretty much ignored it altogether. Looks like Season 4 will get back to the show's basic premise.

[BuckeyeRed27]

Loved the finale. Good to see Stahl finally get hers.

This season is general was really good, but it will be interesting to see what happens next year if Jax reads those letters and with the Russians now probably going to be pretty pissed at SAMCRO.

[gilpdawg]

I don't know about the Russians thing. If they are going to get a lot of income from the new deal with the Irish they could use their connection with Lenny the Pimp to get the Russians the money they owe them. Seems too predictable that Kurt would have the Russians looking for revenge 14 months later after they get out of the pen. It's too obvious of a story that I think he'll go a different route.

[jackamla]

This is probably the best television show I've seen. Each character is well defined and has its own limitations. The cast is well chosen and suited to their personality.

[BuckeyeRed27]

I saw Agent Stahl (or at least the actress that plays her) at Starbucks yesterday afternoon. She's alive and well ;)

[billyjordon]

This is without a doubt the best TV show I've seen, i've loved Sons since the first episode and it continues to get better. It is fun and mature action packed Drama and the storyline is just perfect.

[izzy's dad]

This show is the only thing I would consider "appointment t.v." other than Reds, Bengals, Buckeyes. Fantastic.

[CTA513]

Season 4 starts tonight

[LoganBuck]

Season Four has been a little weird for me. Sutter is trying to hard to build a back story. Tuesday's episode was all about showing what SAMTAZ was going through with three distinct parallels to the SAMCRO storyline.

1. Bobby and Luann
2. The John Teller/Gemma Teller/Clay Morrow love triangle
3. The thought process behind the decisions to sell guns(John Teller backstory) and the drugs.

This season I find myself disliking the members of SAMCRO, and pulling for the new US Attorney Deputy who has set himself up as the focal point of the story. He is twisted like Stahl was, but eccentric, sneaky, manipulative, and likeable.

I know that Sutter likes to build his stories, I can't wait to see where he takes this one.

[Joseph]

I'm still waiting for season 3 on netflix and not happy about it.

I agree. They are coming dangerously close to having SAMCRO become unlikeable, which isn't good when you are supposed to root for them.

Man, this show really sucked for me in season 3. I really wanted to like it, and they were close, but they're just too lazy in the writing and execution. It's gotten harder to believe than even 24 was at its worst. Think I'll pass on next season.

[LoganBuck]

This thread probably needs moved over to the other side.

What a start to the season. That scene with Tig and Pope was probably the most horrifying thing I have ever seen on any scene in any show.

Yeah that was messed up. It was actually hard to watch.

This is setting up to be a super violent season.

[hebroncougar]

Anyone know when season 4 is hitting netflix? I did all 3 seasons over the winter on netflix, and plan on dvr'ing 5 while I watch 4.

[19braves77]

Great acting from Tig but I dont know if I can invest another 3 years in this show if they dont start wrapping up some story lines.
I understand its an action soap but unlike with Breaking Bad the plot has sucked out all the enjoyment of the show. The plot is now bigger then the characters and that is what killed Heroes. I literally had a hard time remembering all the story lines from last season so i need the 30 minutes they spent reminding me of what happened last season. Sutter needs to start laying the groundwork for the big exit.

Okay so I just have to know. And feel free to PM me if it's actually a big spoiler. But that scene on the bridge they show in all the previews; was the guy intentionally riding his bike off the bridge and the lady trying to stop him, or did he ride up near her and she threw him off course and he went over the side of the bridge on accident?

[MWM]

How was season 4? Season 3 lost me, but I'm curious if 4 was any better.

[lidspinner]

I agree the scene with tig and pope burning his daughter made me cringe.....I got choked up thinking about it. That was vivid and was some great acting.

Sutter does that with all his promos. They are more symbolism of where the show may/could be going for the year. A few years ago, he had Clay and Jax playing chicken on motorcycles.

[LoganBuck]

Season four had the new deputy USAG. He was worth watching by himself. The first 4-6 episodes were a little iffy. Things picked up big time towards the end of the season.

[19braves77]

I really didn't see that coming. Especially this early into the season.

Kind of SOA related since he was on the show, but the guy who played "Half Sack" (Johnny Lewis) was involved in murder suicide according to yahoo:

[19braves77]

I thought last nights episode was weak for a transition episode.

[BuckeyeRed27]

Agreed. Not every episode has to be great and action packed, but that one was just ok and painfully slow. They are also making Gemma too crazy. I like that she is a little nuts, but she is getting annoying.

I could be wrong, but from the scene I saw a few weeks ago of some guys dumping a safe and other stuff in a dumpster it looks like its 2-3 guys from inside the club. I believe they are guys that joined up from another charter.

If you didn't see " Small World" don't read below:

Sometimes this show stretches the limits of believability while still be entertaining. I have a hard time to beleiving that many parties can agree on a drug deal and that no one other Unser thinks Clay was behind the break-in's. If Pope is so powerful, why not just move your own cocaine ? Jax kills the security guard but doesn't see that Pope is the real reason behind Opie's death ? The only thing that you cant argue is the killing of the worse character of SOA, Carla.

The Otto and Tara scene was not needed in the least.

One thing that Sutter does very well is find reguest scenes for his friends. Seeing Joel McHale was unexpected

I think jax is well aware pope was behind opes murder.....he is just trying to make some coin before they turn pope into worm food....just as they did the Irish man a few seasons ago.....sutter does a great job of the rope a dope.....I just hope he doesn't do this each season

Good thing we have an additional 30 minutes the rest of the season to tie up these loose ends.

Poor Juice. He deserves better.For a group of "Brothers" they really dont share much until its too late.

I think this show ends with no charter in Charming and Tara driving off in the sunset with the kids. I dont see Nero, Unser, or Juice surviving this season.

[919191]

Does anyone else see how the Juice character has chenged? He seemed almost happy-go-lucky the first 2 seasons, but not so much now. More of the nervous sort. Granted, circumstances have probably added huge amounts of stress to him, but to me his character is different now.

This season has gone so far over the edge, that I may give up on the show. I will watch the season finale, and then make a decision. Jax is crazy, Tara is crazy, Gemma is crazy, Clay is crazy, Juice is crazy, etc, etc, etc. I have lost empathy for the characters, that is typically the sign that I will stop watching. This show has always been about rooting for the bad guys, as of this point I don't like the bad guys.

Spolier alert:


The kid in the school uniform they had been quasi following the whole episode sits down at a bench outside of his school. He gets out a note book and starts reading it and then the school bell rings. He puts down the note book and pulls an automatic gun out of his bag and walks into the school. They show the note book and it is full of drawings and generally bad and dark things. The shot stays outside the school and all you see is screaming and people running and blood on the window.

[TeamCasey]

Holy crap. I thought throughout the episode that he'd be a victim. Wow.

[mattfeet]

Yea, the school scene was pretty unexpected. It'll be quite important to see how Sutter ties that into the series and how/if he makes a point of it. If it's a glancing segment I bet he'll catch some heat.

The previews for the season to come, after the show ended, included Nero saying to Jax that it was one of the illegal automatic weapons that Jax gave Nero's crew last season, that was used. So picture Sandy Hook, instead of a legal fire arm, imagine if that was an actual illegal automatic weapon, acquired through gun smuggling. That event will be the catalyst for the last two seasons. Some commentary on this episode I read, included commentary about new law enforcement characters on the show. You have to remember that this show is about bad people. In the end, the law enforcement side may win the day, even though Sutter has us rooting for the bad guy.

[Joseph]

I think you bring up a good point. TV writers are good at making us cheer for the bad guy sometimes. SOA is a prime example. For this show to have a 'happy' ending, the Sons need to go down.

[19braves77]

Last two episodes have been great. SOA is a good our of tv when it stops being funny and dealing with anything with romance. Kutter struggles with that....

[LoganBuck]

The Gemma-Tara-Wendy matrix is so annoying. That side storyline lurks in the background of every episode for the last year. Aside from the personal angst that it will eventually cause Jax when he inevitably finds out, no one cares. It does very little to advance the story. If Tara died in a hail of gunfire, it would probably make for a better story, in the weird way this show works.

Completely agree. There is definitely some nepotism going on with Gemma. This storyline is such a waste of time, whenever they show the Gemma/Tara/Wendy scenes I just scroll twitter on my kindle.

I also have a theory regarding Wayne. I think he is going to be killed protecting the children.

I got behind a couple episdoes and just caught up this weekend. The Tara plot is interesting in that it is very conflicted. Both scenes in the last episode with her and Gemma and then her and Jax were very well done I thought.

The breaking Clay out of jail plot is really stupid. I'm sure there will be some cool scene this week with lots of guns and explosions, but won't make the plot line less dumb.

I have been watching SOA on netfilx, oftentimes while doing something else. I am just on Season 5 but I just can't get excited about the show anymore. Opie was one of my favorite sons but they killed him off and Jax's transition has really made him unlikable. I think the story lines have become a little stretched and with the recent spoilers I have read I just don't know if I can get back into it.

I've heard this from other people that watch the show on Netflix. When Opie died it was a sad moment, but I didn't really mind that it happened. His role in the show had diminished a bit at that point and it seemed like it had been a long time since he had been a key character. I think when you binge watch the show a bit and there is less seperation between episodes there was more of a connection to Opie.

I do agree with your opinion on Jax. The key to this show is that you have to like and root for the bad guy. Jax has become a really bad guy and it has made it tough the last couple seasons (it doens't get better in Season 6).

Feel the same about this season..but yea that Tara/Gemma scene had my jaw dropped and eyes glued to the screen. I did not see that coming...

Sutter said that having to write out Toric four episodes earlier then expected didn't help. Donal Logue had scheduling conflicts with Game of Thrones. I enjoyed the season.

Going to need the Americans to come back on to fill a void.

The Americans was easily my favorite new show of 2012. Can't wait for Season Two.

I have been watching SOA on netfilx, oftentimes while doing something else. I am just on Season 5 but I just can't get excited about the show anymore. Opie was one of my favorite sons but they killed him off and Jax's transition has really made him unlikable. I think the story lines have become a little stretched and with the recent spoilers I have read I just don't know if I can get back into it.

Well, since there's only one season left, I'd imagine Jax has a redemption coming. I always saw the show ending one of two ways, either Jax wins in the end, club goes into legit business, and continues on, or they all go down, and you flash forward 20 years in the final scene to find his kids getting into the game.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel about it. I thought season 1 was pretty good, but it didn't capture me like it did some others, but I liked it enough to watch season 2. I didn't care much for that season but didn't hate it so thought I'd give season 3 a chance. I thought season 3 was just bad, so I didn't watch season 4 until much later when I was bored and needed something.

I actually thought season 4 was decent, so I decided to watch season 5 while it was on TV. I thought it was just bad TV. If that was season 1, it would not have been renewed. I almost stopped mid-season and wish I would have. I watched the first episode of this season and haven't watched since. I checked in on this thread to see if this season was any good and haven't read anything to make me want to watch.

For me, TV dramas have to either have great plotting/writing, or great character. The plotting has been all over the place, so that no longer interests me. The bigger problem with SoA, in my opinion, is that the characters just aren't interesting to me at all. They're all very fictional, with nothing authentic about them. The Jax character could be somewhat interesting, but the actor is so bad that I lose interest. Villains can be great characters in TV dramas, but none of the SoA characters fit that bill for me. Gemma is just not a believable character and she alone made me not want to watch the show anymore, not in a "I hate her so much, which means the actor must be doing a great job" type of way. I can't really explain it, but Gemma makes me want to stop watching, even though I think Sagal does a good job.

Justified is a good example of what works for me, but doesn't in SoA. The plotting is fun, but can be a little out there. The show almost has that "we're not going to take things too seriously" type of feel to it, IMO. But the characters and acting are fantastic. I watch that show because it has great characters and great writing....so many memorable lines. Justified is what SoA wants to be, IMO.

Sons of Anarchy is just too unbelievable at this point.

Every character on the show in real life would be in prison right now. There is way too much evidence for them to be free. They consistently commit bloody murders and then just leave the crime scene and nothing ever comes of it.

I either read or saw an interview with Kurt Sutter where he said Sons was inspired by Hamlet. If so I don't see how this series ends well for Jax.
