The prostitute pulls a gun so she and two of the pastors are killed outright. The last one, the one that owns the church Marks wants (maybe that's why they broke in, to confront the dude selling his church to Marks?), said he wanted to show them his ID and quickly went to grab his pants so the Sons killed him before he could draw his ID on them. They busted in looking for some guys that killed a few members of the Grim Bastards before the season started. Alright, this is good, I think that we've filled in all the gaps we could possibly fill in. And this still doesn't really make a lot of sense. God, the writers really phoned it in here, didn't they? Edit: Also, I think that those guys they killed in the Greensleeves episode were the ones they were really looking for. I think it turned out they were just some independent gang that hasn't been mentioned before for whatever reason. JaddaCaddra fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Nov 7, 2014 |

Greensleeves was a device used so that Bobby would be driving the lovely car that got run off the road when Bobby is taken hostage. By having Greensleeves run over Jax's bike, Bobby has to offer up his for Jax to ride.

Everybody complaining about the Jax glasses, he has been wearing them the entire show during/after motorcycle ride scenes. If you ever tried riding a motorcycle without eyewear you'd understand why it would be dumb not to, with wind and poo poo blowing into your eyes.

Just like those dudes who killed some of the Bastards, who the Sons and Mayans killed in that ridiculous shootout scene later in the episode, were nothing but a device to get the Sons to accidentally kill that preacher dude in the first episode, so that they could end up in this contrived and twisted up plot. Somehow the worst part about all of this is that some people seem to think that it's actually clever storytelling. But I'm pretty sure a story ceases to be "clever" when nobody can tell what the hell is going on half the time, or why.

HAHAHAHA this show is so terrible. I left the room briefly after the crow flew, and came back in to Happy being run off the road, and for the briefest of moments thought “Oh, I should rewind and find out what happened.” And then my logic board snapped on and laughed that idea right out of my silly head. At this point, I only care enough to follow GhostPilot’s recaps and because Charlie Hunnam is so very, very pretty. I love the scene where Althea slaps Gemma and Gemma just pushes her down like a rag doll, and it IMMEDIATELY cuts to Jimmy Smits, on the other side of the glass, all “Seriously, WTF bullshit show am I on????” 935 posted:Edit - and the award for the most awkwardly placed sex scene in the history of ever anything goes to SOA SERIOUSLY. Mr Interweb posted:Sorry, one question: um...glasses? What possible loving reason did he need to be wearing those? He wore them earlier in the season, when they all paused to put on their helmets and goggles before riding off to find the massacre as Diosa. Ghostpilot posted:Once upon a time, I had a cat named Juggernaut. I live in a suburb, and a couple of times a day I'd let him out to run around. One day, he didn't come back. I went out looking for him well into the evening, left food out, left my front door ajar as I slept on the couch that night. The next day I printed 'lost' fliers and posted them around with a reward to anyone that found him. Later on that day or early into the following day, I came to find him on some nearby railroad tracks -- he had decided to pick a fight with a train. A fitting end, considering his name. I am infinitely more interested in the story of Juggernaut than that of Jax. We should make this thread about pet stories, and I will tell you about the time my dog, Mister Finnegan, was hit by a car, saved by a random stranger, and restored my faith in humanity - until SoA started up again and I lost it all. haljordan posted:I was drat sure Wendy was gonna accidentally rub that heroin on her fingertips into Abel's bloodstream somehow. I was, too! And they stripped the moment of her looking at the dope on her finger of ANY poignancy the moment they had her wipe it on her chest and grab Abel's hand without so much as a squirt of Purell.

The best part about the chase you missed where happy was knocked down is that they all BOLT out of the house to chase after this guy taking off in a car! Hurry up guys! Cut to next scene and everybody is on bikes with helmets and glasses. Also everyone is forgetting that they busted into the hotel room and shot up the preacher orgy only after being lied to by the wheelchair gansta that they dragged through a terrible CGI production. Honestly how long have they been doing the awful CGI gunfire and blood spatter. It is really distracting, almost to the point that I have to look up from my phone during the show for a gun battle or buttrock chase to see the truly awful effects work.

I'm watching The Shield for the first time and only now do I realize that SoA is just Bad Shield. Montages to music, Sutter as a reoccurring character, gray issues, a darkly comedic tone underlying the drama - the shows have the same "feel" but SoA post-season 2 is poor at conveying it. The show always does shock-a-minute things in the most banal ways: how many sudden outbursts of murder are there? By comparison, Vic Mackey has killed very few people (and every one except two are in-the-line-of-duty kills) by season three whereas Jax has probably killed hundreds if not thousands by the time of this final season. How many important characters die in the final season so far? Bobby and a bunch of randoms. That's not pushing the envelope, that's playing it safe.

Yeah, there's very few murders in The Shield, comparatively, and pretty much every one has a weight that carries through to the finale. Murders used to mean something in SoA at the start too, but now Jax is throwing people out of windows (or trying to) just for the sake of it, and the murder of a Sheriff means nothing.

At the beginning of the show, they were also very concerned about getting g away with the murders and not getting caught. At this point, they're completely above the law. Did Jax to to high school with everyone in the police department? Also, what happened to Chibbs wife and daughter. I missed a lot of the Ireland stuff.

Seriously. There's been dozens of deaths this season. loving massacres, even. Yet the only death law enforcement seem to care about is some doctor. Even though a loving sheriff was killed at the same time.

Maybe Jarry is some kind of high level plant from the ATF or something who's trying to suss out the criminal element in Charming because why else would someone take that job? It hasn't ended well for the last couple people in it. Plus she isn't at all worried about loving Chibbs in broad daylight like that and doesn't seem panicked people know about them. Her reaction to Gemma knowing wasn't to freak out and cut ties but to seek Chibbs out. Who am I kidding? There's no end game here.

I was flipping through random episodes on Netflix and I came across the first one with Chuckie. My fiancee was sitting on the couch next to me and she goes "What is he doing?!" when Chuckie started rubbing one out all of a sudden. I said "He's whackin it" to which she replied "Why?!" I was going to explain but all I could think to say was "Exactly." Sons of Anarchy: Why?! The show definitely does have it's moments though. Like when Jax is about to whomp the poo poo out of Kohn in the barbershop and he actually smiles at him first. Also, getting a pair of scissors jammed into his leg during that little fracas only seems to enrage him further. haljordan fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Nov 8, 2014 |

I've never seen Annabeth Gish on anything else, but holy mother gently caress, does she do a horrible job acting on this show. Everyone's ridiculous, but I can still get behind their acting. Not her, though. She overspeaks, or over-enunciates, or something that makes every single word that comes out of her mouth sound completely forced and unbelievable.

Yeah, I'm much more inclined to blame the writing / direction on this show than the actors. I've said it before, but Sutter should thank his lucky stars that he's managed to pull the calibre of actors that he has (for the most part, anyway). Though the flipside of that is that it does make the show harder to watch in some ways because you know that they're capable of so much better.

Imagine an actress trying to think about and then give depth and meaning to the words her character is saying in this show? "Um Kurt, a little confused. So my character is a seasoned authority figure, and has a deep sense of justice. So, why am I cool with banging with a member of the motorcycle gang whose house the murdered body of my predecessor was found at? Like we've barely spoken, and when we have, for them to buy me off for roughly the cost of an expensive dentist bill. Also, why do I care about keeping this town, which I obviously am not from and don't know much about, 'whole?' Like, what does that mean, Kurt? Also, Why am I hiring a guy who's been dying of cancer for like 2 years? Just wondering, for, you know, the scene."

I knew when I watched last season's finale they'd drag the whole Gemma killed Tara thing out til the bitter end, so I guess I'll watch the episode where that happens, but probably just stick with Ghostpilot's recaps.
