Sons of Anarchy

[Flash Walken]

HelloHockeyFans, if you saw the first few episodes of season 1, you've seen the whole show.

Actually, you probably saw the best episodes of the series.

disagree strongly, dismissing all of your other opinions accordingly.

Best episodes of the series? The Season 3 finale is some of the best television ever produced, let alone in the past couple years.

Also, season 4 is way better than all of season 1-3.

You obviously watch very little television.

Some people obviously have different opinions about different shows, but SOA for me is right at or at the top of the list of best shows on TV for me.

[Eastern Girl]

I greatly enjoy Sons of Anarchy, but it is not without its issues. There is some atrocious acting/dialogue, and there have been some fairly major plot points that were difficult to swallow. And don't even get me started on Opie's hair. How many ways can a man wear his ponytail?
So, I personally wouldn't say it's one of the best shows on TV, if I am looking at it critically.

Having said that, I do find that it's incredibly entertaining escapism though. I think one thing they've managed to do with the show is be incredibly dark, while keeping a lot of humour in it. Serving chili to cops that was simmered with a severed head in it? Yes. I want to see that. That is something I want to see.

And the characters are quite well rounded for the most part, the main ones anyways, not the ones they bring in to be killed after an episode or two. Happy and Tig must never die.

I am really looking forward to the new season, now that they've shaken up the club's dynamics. I read that Ashley Tisdale is in the new season. I feel like that doesn't fit. She better not break into song.

I;ve only watched seasons 1-3, and saw S4 at the store today, but $50 seemed too steep.

Hope it shows up on Netflix soon.

Quite the opposite, I just have taste when it comes to television.

Look's like you're right.



I find her extremely good looking, but this combination makes no sense.

Chuck Zito is going to be in the fifth season too.

Apparently Ashley Tisdale is only in a couple episodes. She's playing a high end call girl

I hated it after watching season 1. None of the characters were likeable and the dialogue drove me nuts. That being said, I picked it up a year later and watched season 2. It improved 100% after that, and I really got into it.

I agree with Eastern Girl though. Critically, I suppose, it's not "the greatest" but it's highly entertaining.

I love the show, and I just watched the finale again last night in preparation for Season 5.

About my only complaint, and it's a small one, is that there just seems to be less and less bikes in the show. Maybe I'm out to lunch, but it seemed like they were always riding during the first season. I realize there's more drama now in the show, and that they have to explore all the plots and the 'face to face' stuff between the characters-- but that was what initially got my hooked.

Bump for premier night.

I think I needed to watch the finale from the last season as a refresher...There were a couple of things I was thinking "what just happened?" "Should I have seen that coming?"

Almost didn't see it because SOMEONE ordered HBO and not Superchannel.

[Yasa]

There's a good recap to start. That was a pretty crazy episode.

Ha ha. He was on Howard Stern a couple days ago talking about it. I have never watched the show before but I may have to catch an episode to see how Chuck fares.

Not sure how we're dealing with spoilers in this thread, so I'll hide it:

Spoiler!

I'm pretty desensitized when it comes to getting emotional from TV shows, but I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud (Happy's comment to the Sheriff) and felt sick to my stomach (Tig/Pope scene) in the same episode. I had a hard time going to sleep after that scene.

watching the show last night with my wife and she was pretty much freaking out when they burned Tig's daughter alive. She was actually crying when it happened and said that is awful. I said that's why the show is good, because they do stuff like that.

[BlackRedGold25]

Kick ass way to start the new season. Really established Pope as a badass even though I don't think the actor is right for the part. Hard to believe they could top the Gemma rape scene but they did.

Jimmy Smits wasn't actually that bad in his role. But he didn't have a chance to get all riled up which is when he gets annoying.

[Khel]

Wow. That was quite the episode tonight. I'm in shock!
