Sons of Anarchy - Part 1

Anybody else notice the Korean writing on that truck near all the dead dogs?

 

[Visceral]

The entire scene with tig makes me so glad I watch this show, damn that was good tv. Never been so jacked up from a show.

And i swear I seen a lot crazy **** in my time but the tongue, was hilarious!

love it 10/10 on this one.

The creepiest part of the episode is when that beggar showed up near the dead dogs. She has shown up before.

 

[Sawyer]

I loved seeing Tig lose his cool over the dog fighting. Even a guy like him, who has done plenty of scummy **** in his time is turned off by that.

 

[James]

Loved the season finale. The mirror image was great, and I thought Able playing with/putting on Jax's SOA ring was foreboding. You can see where Jax gets his cunning from with Gemma. Gemma reminds me a lot of Attia from HBO's Rome, in particular Attia's words in the last episode about her having many enemies throughout her time, try finding them now.

I liked all of it, but one moment I especially enjoyed was when Tara went for Gemma and Gemma just gut punched her. For everything Tara's learned, for all the violence she's seen or done and all the scheming, she still doesn't hold a card to Gemma.

Looking forward to season 6, just a shame we probably won't be seeing much of Otto anymore. Kurt Sutter is always great on screen.

And Clay ends up being arrested for the one crime he didn't commit. That is some sweet, sweet revenge.

 

[Sawyer]

Though, it's a testament to Ron Perlman's acting that you still kinda feel bad for Clay.

 

[georgec]

I love Perlman's acting, and I felt sorry for Clay in the context of being betrayed by two people close to him, but in the grand scheme he's reaping what he has sewn.

 

[Visceral]

clay gonna kill so many people

 

[Marvolo]

What did Tara say to Jax when the cops walked her out the door?

 

[Maximus One]

I am at a loss for words. This felt like, Breaking Bad intense. The whole scene with Tig and Pope OH MY GOD! I kept screaming at my tv hoping Jax had something up his sleeve, just good lord. Then Otto!?!?!? WTF! Kurt is one sick ****er, can you imagine what a Kurt Sutter/Ryan Murphy collaboration would be like?? Anyways, the mirror image at the end was great and given what Tara was about to do to him I don't think Jax much cares right now. You know what I think could REALLY help this show? A big time jump, like 6-7 years. Have Abel almost a preteen and either have Tara and Clay both locked up still as a result of tonight or something else. I dunno but I think it could be good for the story right now for a time jump. Everything besides Nero felt wrapped up for the time being tonite honestly.

I see what you did there.

 

[Marvolo]

A time jump would open up some possibilities. Id prefer Tara be doing time when the season starts rather than spending a season of Jax figuring out whether he wants to help her and what to do and watching it happen. But who knows. This show always surprises me so whatever they do should be good.

 

[rashad]

Holy ****.

So Gemma was in on it, and Juice. And Chibs, given his comment to Jax before he left with Tig.

Sutter has ****ing blown my mind tonight.

Notice in the previous episode that we never actually see or hear the conversations Jax had with Gemma in the office or Juice over the phone. Very subtle and we see the pay off in the finale. Great stuff.

 

[Evelisse]

Well I'm pretty sure Clay will survive in jail with Irish protection, they still have his back. I think Chibs will be VP next season. As for Tara, I would assume it would take more than the word of Gemma to prove her guilt, Gemma doesn't exactly have a clean record herself. But I'm sure it will be enough damage to at least blow her chances at her new job, and I'm sure in Tara's absence, Gemma will be throwing all sorts of women her son's way.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

can you just imagine the thoughts and feelings that are going thru Clay's mind after he was cuffed and then in the police van at the end?...

at that point, I sure wouldn't want to be in Clay's shoes...

 

[El Bastardo]

Though, it's a testament to Ron Perlman's acting that you still kinda feel bad for Clay.

Yeah, this. A lot of these past few episodes really depended on Perlman to make the audience undergo a sympathetic - or at least an empathetic - turn for Clay. This really could have fallen flat on its face, but Perlman manipulated us like a master.

I ****ing love Ron Perlman and his ugly gargoyle mug.

If I were the Irish at this point, I'd write Clay off as a lost cause. The only reason they were letting him come sleep on their couch for two months was because he promised to start a new gun-running scheme. In prison Clay has nothing to offer them, if the Irish aren't going to benefit I think he's on his own. That said, he is certainly smart enough to survive on his lonesome, broken as he is now though, he may not want to.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Clay has lost the three most important things to him, Gemma, the MC and being President of the MC...

he's been betrayed by Gemma and Juice and set up masterfully by Jax, he's alone and on his own now with no foreseeable hope.... Romeo has no use for him and neither do the Irish really, as posted above...

he has just GOT to be scared as all hell now, not knowing WHAT'S in store...

I kinda feel sorry for Clay in a way, but he brought all this heat and **** down on himself as well as the club...

in the end, Clay has lost everything...

as for Juice, what really pissed me off was the grin he gave to Jax after Jax told him he was proud of him... if I had betrayed someone the way HE did, I wouldn't be grinning...

even though Clay deserved everything he got, I'd STILL feel ****ty about it...

 

[Christopher Nolan]

I'm not sure whether Jax feels sorry for Tara. She planned to leave him with the boys. Will Jax stay cold and let Tara rot in jail? I cant see Tara doing serious time in jail. It also would end the relationship for good. Will he get her out? Tara tried to leave but the possible prosecution and short jail time could have killed the Oregon job...so this would make her stay in Charming ?

I have to say, I had the feeling that Pope will get killed, Jax mentioned in the last episode to Pope's vice president, if he ever imagined running things or just being the guy behind Pope..that was a hint by sutter...the question was, whether pope's vp will kill him or will help Jax to kill him...funny thing that on this special occasion pope's most important friend wasnt there...

Good observation. Weird how Pop's right hand man was always with him, but wasn't this time. And he did sum up what Jax was up too.

When Pope arrived to kill Tig, I was looking for his right man/vice president, i didnt see him, so I knew that there was something up in the air. I'm also sure that he knows that Jax was behind it, but there is too much on the table to start a war. So, i think he will be go for Clay just to avoid a war...In the end it's just about business..

 

[Liam_H]

It seems that with Pope's resources he would've crushed the Sons easily, wouldn't have really been a war at all. Pope's right man definitely knows but he doesn't care since he's in charge now.

 

[squeekness]

The creepiest part of the episode is when that beggar showed up near the dead dogs. She has shown up before.

She is supposed to represent God which is fine and all but I didn't catch what she said this time. Something about keeping them safe...?

 

[squeekness]

as for Juice, what really pissed me off was the grin he gave to Jax after Jax told him he was proud of him... if I had betrayed someone the way HE did,

I found Juice's grin strange and disturbing. It was more like he was angry, not pleased, like he might stab Jax in the back down the road...
