Sons of Anarchy - Part 3

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

nasty reminder there of how it went down...

 

[georgec]

Interview with Theo Rossi at EW.

 

[georgec]

Bump for a new episode tonight.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

oh, man...I don't like what's runnin' thru Gemma's mind about Unser now that she found his investigator ID and Tara's file...

 

[rashad]

Wooooo!!! Another amazing episode. It's about to go down.

 

[rashad]

LMAO the banter between Rat and Tig.

 

[CrypticOne]

Wow. Jax really screwed up with this one. He's going to have people in his own club coming after him after that.

Kinda a weak episode, all in all. I'm getting tired of Juice's story. They really need to speed it up and it better be worth the squeeze when they finally hit that point.

And I know Unser won't live very long now. Right when he discovers something, or hell, even now, since Gemma has found the case file, will be whispering into Jax' ear, and that'll be that for Unser.

 

[squeekness]

Another meh episode. I agree about Juice's story needing to end. Everything else is just a rehash of old ground. I knew that someone was going to know the club killed those two guys at the end, I expected someone behind one of the cheesy curtains, but the giveaway gun serves the same purpose -- a revenge killing for a revenge killing of that other revenge killing. Old news.

 

[Six]

Jax talking about killing everyone Lin cares fir and having him live just long enough to see it happen makes me think he just predicted his own fate. There really isn't a character to root for on this show any more. All the other club members are blindly following Jax, I hope they question him soon or they can die as well for all I care

 

[Tyrell Wellick]

the poor writing over the last couple of episodes (including last season) killed this once great show. they should have tried to clean up the juicy and gemma storyline in these first two episodes or at least jax's should know who killed his wife. this is getting ridicules.

 

[Marvolo]

If they drag this Juice storyline out until the finale its gonna be awful.

Man, itd be something if the club decided that Jax needed to meet Mr. Mathem and thats how it all ends. Jax thrust upon his own sword. If he keeps making bonehead decisions and believing Gemma's BS and getting members killed the Club might just whack em both for good measure. I dont think Chibs would do it unless Jax really hurt everyone, but Jax needs to get his **** together and open his ****ing eyes. Gemma had motive and the impulse to kill Tara. Gemma has all but admitted before that she'd kill Tara if she ratted. Why the **** cant Jax see the obvious!?

At this point the only people Im rooting for is the Club. Chibs, Happy, Tigs, Ratboy, etc. Jax and Gemma and Juice and Unser can die for all I care.

 

[Sawyer]

We're two episodes in and you're already suspecting that they'll drag Juice out until the end? Get back to me if he's still breathing by the midseason mark, in which case, I'll join you. To me, I really feel like he's next on the chopping block. Gemma will almost certainly make it to the finale, or at least close, but I really don't think he's long for this world.

Nah I dont think that will happen Im just saying if it did it would be awful. This show has a tendency to lead you around with one hand and then ***** slap you with the other. The obvious thought is he's not long for the world, but that little ****head might stick around through dumb luck and annoy us for 10 or 11 more episodes. Just never know with this show.

 

[georgec]

This is getting unpleasant to watch. Jax is screwing up left and right, and it's all because he doesn't question what his mom says.

 

[P Supreme]

I'm so fed up with Gemma that everytime she is on screen I feel like punching my screen and the way she calls everybody "baby" or "sweetheart" is annoying and what Jax did to those Kids that were down for his cause was real messed up I hope what happened to clay happens to Jax

I think some of you guys complaining about the Juice and Gemma plots dragging out too long are confusing how long we've waited from the season finale to the actual show time frame. Yeah Juice's story started in S4 when he stole that brick of heroin and Gemma and Tara were always at odds but things really came to a head in last year's finale. We've only had 2 episodes since then and it all only equates to about a month of in story time.

To be honest, IMO, the only thing about SoA that I find redundant is the unrealism of the action sequences. They've become very vanilla in my eyes. I mean, last night the guys stormed into a Triad drug deal and stood wide open out of cover and massacred a bunch of guys that had an equal amount of firepower that were in cover. I mean......c'mon.

 

[CrypticOne]

Agreed on the action. You could tell the truck was supposed to flip over too, from the way at the last second, the driver turns it slightly and how Jax hits it. Sloppy stunt work.

Gemma is just an annoyance though. Sure, her plot line really picked up two episodes ago, but we've been dealing with her betrayals since before the show started. Tired of it already.

If Juice was a strong character I wouldn't mind his plot that much, but he just cries in a corner every time we see him. He better start turning into a cornered animal and start attacking. If the club is gonna kill you, kill them first.

for real and the triad guys were beind cover in some cases while Jax was all gun hoe with no regard that scene was absurd

Seriously, Juice has the element of surprise and the Club is preoccupied with Tara's murder and the Chinese. But nope. He needs a good cleansing cry.

If he spent less time crying he might realise that the Club routinely meets in the same location. A location that is unguarded in the middle of the night. He could break in and plant a bomb in the club house and then get out of town and he's in the clear. Everyone would think it was the chinese retaliating. Or hell wait for Jax to leave his house and run his ass down.

 

[runawayboulder]

At some point he's going to go see the Mayans...we know that much.

 

[CrypticOne]

At some point he's going to go see the Mayans...we know that much.

And have them do his work for him like Gemma has the club do hers. Girl move.

 

[georgec]

By this point none of the gangs or clubs on the show should have any reason to trust Jax or the Sons, after all the power plays and trails of violence that the Sons leave wherever they go.

Maybe it's the norm in that world of the show, though, as we don't see all the things the other clubs do.

 

[Hush]

I loved this episode, damn good.

 

[James]

I loved this episode, damn good.

Me too, I'm kind of surprised at how many didn't like it (or at least, thought it was average). I still enjoy SOA as much as I ever did. Rat and Tig, Happy's Breaking Bad impression, the action, the scheming. It's all great fun in my book.

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah, I didn't think anything was wrong with the episode.

Thinking about Jax's recklessness in the past two episodes and that he didn't even go see his sons until the very end of episode 2, I'm wondering if he's got something planned to get them away from all this, and all the **** he's pulling is just him taking all that crime element in Charming and burning it to the ground while he's still inside. Give the boys a good life, away from all of that (and Gemma especially), but knowing he's too deep in this to ever have a life that doesn't involve the MC.
