Man, you can really tell Gemma is getting old and has lost a step. In the good old days, that bitch would have gone down with one punch. When Carla got back up and was bleeding from the mouth, eyes crazy and taking her earrings off I was just thinking, "this may turn into the brawl from THEY LIVE."

Gemma better start carring skateboards with her EVERYWHERE from now on.

One neat little detail w/ Ashley Tisdale: I noticed that when Jax & Chibbs went to get her at the Motel her cheerleading uniform from WILDCATS was sprawled across the bed.

Except that Jax just sits him down and basically says "Look bro sorry about your business, but if you stop loving my mom for a minute and you can instead be a pimp for the porno business that we somehow still have going after getting the owner killed and the building burned down and that we've managed to not mention in two years" and Nero just keeps saying what he always says which is basically "Durrrr otay ese" which makes zero sense, but whatever.

I know, I know, it's far from the most improbable thing about this silly loving show but Nero is just stupid if he goes along with it. The Sons are a bro walking disaster of epic proportions from every single loving angle, why anyone tries to deal with them for more than five minutes is beyond me. I'm surprised they didn't pick Opie's weirdo dracula coffin upside down and drop him in the loving parking lot. Twice.
Well you see Nero is completely covered here because he stipulated that his deal with Jax must be totally separate from the myriad other bullshit the sons are into which anyone drawing breath can plainly see are primed to cause shittons of collateral damage to anyone in the same zip code as these morons.

The guy who plays Jax as a really doofy, ape-like walk. Kind of like how Tim Roth has a very recognizable walk only less cool.

I don't want to see any of the stupid letters thing a againt, but doesn't Tara have copies of the ones that implicate Gemma? Wasn't that why she told Gemma that she wouldn't kill her "But, my husband might"?

Why is Tara being used by Gemma then?

Oh, right, this show makes no sense.

too dumb to be probated; not too dumb to be autobanned
I used to be able to watch this show as mindless entertainment and didn't get too worked up when it got wonky, then Opie died and I decided to come see if there is a SoA thread and now I can't NOT see how retarded the writing is and the sheer amount of what the loving gently caress this is retarded, so I guess that makes me a oval office?

Also awesome how after Johnny Lewis went apeshizzy and killed a woman Kurt Sutter kept it classy by going on Twitter to say 'Yeah bro not surprised by this one, he was on a really dark path bro'.

So, did anything happen in the last episode? Jax made a deal with Nero, Jemma and Tara tagteamed Nero's "bottom bitch" in a catfight, and Opie is in a box.

That is a whole lot of nothing for 42 minutes of TV.

You forgot about chase scene #132.:laugh: Eventually SoA is going to be distilled down to 10 minutes of Jax-Clay beaf, 25 minutes of nonsensical chases, and five minutes of Tara-Gemma beaf. Hell, we're almost there now.

My great-grandfather started Larsen Pork Products with little more than three pigs and a killing hammer. Today, I'm proud to say, we kill more pigs than pig hepatitis.
Finally got around to watching the latest 'sode. This is the one that broke me. It was complete poo poo up until the final montage, which could have been great if it was preceded by character arcs and plot lines that would've made Opie's death relevant and actually loving matter. But it wasn't, so gently caress you, gently caress me, and especially gently caress Kurt Sutter. By far, the worst episode of SoA in the history of it's mediocre run.

They've been playing up Tara not falling for Gemma's horseshit all season, so of course that all gets thrown away in one episode.

Well, to play Devil's Advocate it was pretty clear that the Madam DID inform the Ese's about Nero's plan and therefore threw the SAMCRO dudes into a confrontation. However, I thought the whole dodge was pretty awful and horribly predictable.

I will still watch.

It's also pretty clear that Clay called the cops on Nero in the first place though. The resistance to any meaningful action against Clay makes this show dumb as gently caress, and I don't understand why Tara is still listening to Gemma on anything. I still watch it, but this last episode was the first one in a while that felt like absolutely nothing happened.

They should have showed Opie getting raped by those 4 black cocks before they killed him. Now that would be called drama.

This loving show. Hey, Gemma and Tara have another issue. Intriguing! Tara turning into Gemma and Clay turning into Piney is so forced and lovely.

I followed Sutter on Twitter, until this summer when he started promoting Maroon loving 5 albums calling everyone brocunts who said he was a poo poo writer.

I'm just a memory, I can't give you any new information.

At least Opie has gone to a place where the writers can't touch him now.

Who am I kidding there's going to be some kind of flashback or else he's going to appear as a transparent blue figure to offer Jax advice. "Help me Opie Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!"

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'...
I've really only been skimming the thread, since after last season and someone spoiling Opie for me, I'm probably going to wait until its over to watch this new season. I'm wondering though, what the hell does Tara do now? Last I remember her hands got hosed up from that kidnapping, then she freaked out and hosed them up more when Wendy came around again. So it seemed being a doctor was done with. Are her hands better now, or has she resigned herself to Old Ladydom?

Is season 3/4 really poo poo or something?

I just spent two days watching the first two series and it was OK...I wish something more would happen towards the drat Manifesto/change of direction for the MC. But the show seems OK.

Also Stahl is my favourite character even though I think she is meant to be the 'bad guy' or something. Probably dies like most of the likeable characters tend to do.

Or they start stealing feckin' babies and trading with the bad bad guys and so on.

Season 3 has pacing problems and really just a reason to do something in Ireland. The IRA and Abel story line is really hamfisted. Abel ends up in an orphanage, Jax nearly fucks his half-sister, nearly decides to just let Abel go and live with adoptive mom and dad who get killed by O'Fallon, the priest who secretly runs the IRA is the one who orchestrated Abel's adoption because of a promise to John Teller, he then sacrifices himself to The Man in Black for Abel. Though the last couple of episodes once they're back in Charming finish out pretty well.

Basically Sutter wrote himself in to a corner with the Sons and that raid on Zobelle's church in season 2 and had to deal with that, but needed a season full of plot and with their eventual arrest looming he didn't want to spend that time in prison and becoming Oz. Which I think was a good choice, but they take forever getting to Ireland then basically just go around getting busted by local Irish cops who may or may not have been on O'Fallon's or IRAs payroll. It's all muddy.

Season 4 starts out pretty well, but just loses control toward the end of the season. I haven't rewatched it yet, but I did rewatch season 3 just before this season started.
