FX Canada is showing season 5 tonight.

FX from the US is showing the final season. I think you need superchannel to watch the final season in Canada

I don't get Superchannel. In the past, I just waited for the DVDs to come out. I just don't think I can wait this year. I really don't want anything ruined by spoilers, so I may have to bite the bullet and commit to the ancient practice of watching it as it airs.

Back to staying off any social media until I can watch it, I'm always a few hours after airing before I get the episode. I can't wait for this season!!!

Over/under 40 musical montages this season (so about 3 an episode)?

That one actually made me a bit sick. Sometimes they just go to far with the violence. I'm starting to hope everyone takes a bullet by the end of this thing.

Show is freakin' terrible, we actually turned off the season 7 premiere.

The show failed when the first biker boss screamed out "my grandson" at the end of the season 1 finale.

Agreed. I feel like it's a very cheap way to add "drama."

I also, I didn't enjoy that butchered rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Yeah, that was a bizarre rendition of that song and just kind of a weird choice for that part of the show.

Overall, I thought it was a decent episode, but it didn't really feel like a season premiere. It felt anticlimactic given what went down at the end of the last season.

The violence didn't actually bother me, to be honest. I think mainly because it's kinda cheap looking. I almost feel like I can see the tubes and the blood packs the actors are wearing.

Spoiler!



I put my comments in spoilers. I wasn't sure if we were openly talking about the show or what. I don't like being the one to ruin things for anyone.

That was tough to watch, I can't stand torture scenes on television.

I'm just turning into a wussy as I get older. I still want to watch the show, and I know people need to and are going to get killed as part of the storyline, but ultraviolence....life is just to precious and for us to find that entertaining? moral dilemna!

Strange, I find the violence in SOA, while plentiful, is actually quite tame compared to what is being shown in other, similar network shows (Boardwalk Empire, GOT, etc.). I do have to agree that the situational violence (torture, beatings, child molestation, etc.) is a little more jarring.

For example, the idea of Jax torturing the guy at the end was far more harsh than what they actually showed on screen. The only 3 times I've struggled watching/dealing with this show were

number 2 and 3 yes (especially number 2 ... that was horrible and I don't think another TV death has ever shocked me like that one), number 1 not so much ... probably because I absolutely hated that character.

I agree with the general sentiment though, I don't think the show would suffer from toning a bit down in terms of violence. Yamer is right, I also thought not showing the majority of the torturing was way more effective.
