Shakespeare on a Hog: The Sons of Anarchy thread

hmm really? I watched ep 1 of this season and decided I was done. Its good again?

totally good again

first few episodes were meh but then heeeey crazytown

that was pretty satisfying

;_;

Or whatever the sad emoticon is.

kind of was just good that they finally went for it, after that stupid non-fatal shootout 2 seasons ago

I was kind of taken aback by the formality of it, in that they pretty much followed club procedures. I figured it'd be another shooting on the sly.

Watching older seasons again - so many lols at Happy's response to Jax killing Henry Rollins - "I am so proud of you."

CUNT PUNCH

I'm nostalgic for pre Prison-Hair Tara

I actually appreciated Prison-Hair Tara because I was almost going to grow my bangs out to emulate pre-Prison-Hair Tara

Zobelle's daughter is a WS of Shame

finally watched the season finale and thought it was alright.. im still kind of confused about tara, gemma, jax, etc and what their motivations are as they fluctuate between being sympathetic and intolerable monster from episode to episode

that wasn't the finale...there's one more episode this coming week.

one of my favorite things about the show is that for all the DUDE-ness of the show, Tara and Gemma can be as volatile and unpredictable as any other character on the show. feels very different from the "male anti-hero acts, the women around him react" formula of a lot of dark cable dramas.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu

ck

I think that was the most brutal thing they've showed.

good episode...was getting worried they'd do the "jax has a secret plan that works perfectly" thing for the third episode in a row.

wait, so the December 3rd episode wasn't the season finale .... shit! I am really looking forward to this then.

fffuuuuucccckkkking hell

can't wait for spinoff prequel show, "Juice Makes the Worst Decisions"

at least he disposed of the evidence in different dumpsters

i was half expecting him to kill himself and/or jemma after that whole thing went down

I guess the question is whether he will return to the club or run.

he'll walk the earth like caine in kung fu *pan pipes*

it will be called Juice-tified

well done, sarahell

omg lol

that punny dad joke made me feel like a man

innately?

lol

:)

just finished this and uhhhhhhhh...

idk kinda didn't like the finale even tho the season got better as it went on. Good to see Jax making some human decisions again but wow.

Are there ANY likable characters left, maybe Bobby a little? Unser is a worthless mopey dope now. Nero was cool then he wasn't.

Bobby's kind of likable but yeah, that's it.

Kinda weird watching the early seasons where all the fucked up shit is punctuated with wild parties and now being in a biker gang looks like a pretty shitty job, tbh. I feel like other criminal work would be easier, or signing on with a bigger, more stable club. (Sons aren't even top 10, per the weird ADA from S4)

They aren't even making money anymore! Just retire and get a job at the grocery store or w/e. Hell just start the bike shop back up and live off that idk. It's all so drab now and the weird guy with the wrapped hands is not near enough comic relief.

I can't tell if the show is in on the joke that the club 'going straight' means they'll just be pimping porn stars.

7+ dudes surviving on their cut of a brothel seems like it might be tough to pull off.

ice cream was a popular treat and it still is

theoretically they have a garage to rebuild, what with the mechanic business and all

iirc they're also supposed to be getting work at the housing development site, but that keeps getting delayed

i know this show requires a lot of suspension of disbelief but officer roosevelt not securing the scene when he had just walked in on a murder really bugged me. like...he just stood there? really? didn't even pull his gun? what gives man

I guess, but it seemed like they hadn't left Tara alone for very long and it was pretty clear Gemma acted alone and wasn't about to fight back so there was some time to just be appalled. it seemed realistic enough given the circumstances. although sure the show is stretching credulity more and more all the time.

i guess i felt like they'd really built up roosevelt's professionalism. a lot. so the perp/victim being people he knows IRL causing his brain to totally shut down just seemed like a lame (even for SOA) plot contrivance. even if he thought gemma acted alone he still let juice get the drop on him and i was like well that's just not the roosevelt i know.

I gotta wonder who the fuck would take their car to be serviced at Teller-Morrow. Imagining the Yelp reviews...

"Mechanic who was originally assigned my car was killed, repair delayed. Came back the next day and witnessed a Mexican standoff and was told to *come back later*. Came back to find bullet holes in my car, told repair would take another day. Refused to comp repair, man who went by 'Tig' told me to get my happy ass off the lot before something bad happened. Never visiting this place again."

lmoa otm

loool

"...and THEN the whole place blew up! WTF..."

Wish they'd kill everyone but Tig and Happy.

i get no joy out of watching vengeful Jax, it know it's the arc but there's no light to balance the shade

Okay, they can save Jimmy Smits too.
