The show seems to portray the reality of how current gangs live!!!!

Love the cast, they seem to click together…

I love this show!!!!! I can’t wait to see Tara EDUCATE!!!YOu guys are GREAT!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Only two episodes in and already this is a great season. Such subtle performances from the actors. Katey and Ryan stand out in last night’s episode. Katey tore up those scenes. Interested to see how this changes Gemma.

Can’t wait to see Tara stand up and go all in! I didn’t really care for her in season 1 but she’s growing on me.

Please, please tell me Zobelle gets his in the end. I really hate that guy!

Agreed…great show. Love Breaking Bad also…Wow to both and I’m glad I have a DVR.

One thing I haven’t figured…how would raping Gemma tier SAMCRO apart? She and nazi boys think it would. I would think it would unite them against a common enemy. What do you think?

Watching Gangland on History Channel helps with knowing how many gangs think and react. There is often more blood shed within the same race than outside. We will be seeing that in the future, I bet.

i am with soa 4 life!!!! when clay and the rest of samcro finds out it will unite them and i would not want to be on the skinhead team!!!! they need a beat down and soon!! can’t wait for them to get theirs!!! also give us a shower scene with Tara!!!

By the way…can’t wait to see Tara rip into that chick…but wait…did Jax kiss the other girl? I need to see the episode! I heart Jax!

Has anyone picked up on in Season 1 where Gemma and Tara chat about the life of being a Ol’Lady…Gemma says to Tara “What does your life look like playing doctor during the day and patching up the club at night?” In last night episode, that is what exactly happened. Tara patching up Bobby after getting shot. Simply Awesome!!

I love this show….

Gemma getting raped was unexpected but hit hard! She is such a force of nature that you grow to love her. She has to do something horrible to the guys that raped her, she is a strong woman and has to show them. Jax is hot, he is both loving and bad ass!! I didn’t like Tara at first but she is starting to have more to do with Jax and could come in very handy to SAMCRO. It isn’t cool that Jax’s kisses that chick, if he has always been in love with Tara he should want to hold on to her.

i am so in love with dis.being from the south, and loving all dis badboy theme.the love love scenes are ouuta dis world.

Yes it is a good show but somethings are alot different in the real biker world. Its caled respect ( in the real world of outlaw bikers don’t let their oldladys see or know what goes on at a party that when a Bro comes Home to the Club ( thats called a Manditory) Where Bro’s and very close friend of the Club are aloud.)( Only Males )That is what is called respect!! for if you are not respectful to your family you will not be respectfull(good eought) to the club or your Bro’s! I really don’t care how the west coast rolls but here on the East Coast that’s how its rolls. A Pres. always knows where his oldlady is, thats why they are not aloud at a coming out party for a Bro. Jax’s is the closeast thing to a real outlaw (TCB) taking care of business and Family, loose one and you are no good for the club or family.Never give your self up and never give up a Bro. Great show but they should have looked into the real world and yes it is a TV show and yes it is shows alot of Tv Bling but I wished they would have looked beyond the west coast ( to Find Respect )

I can’t wait for this episode. I hope Tara teaches that porn chick not to mess with her man again. Great job on episode 2.

Love this show!! Katey singing “Ruby Tuesday” in this weeks episode was sweet and seeing Tara *itch slap that porno chick is going to be awesome. Love how Tara will be more invovled with the club this season and the reason she didn’t tell Jax was because Gemma ASKED HER NOT TO, this is in regards to “some” who questioned her action of not telling Jax. Plus as a doctor she can’t give out rape victim info to anyone, including family members. Its Gemma’s place to tell about her rape, NOT TARA’s and not Unser’s. Its just nice that Gemma had two people she could turn to, outside the club, when she really needed to who she could trust. I love how Gemma and Tara are getting closer this season, and Tara will be of a support mechanism for Jax. Tara reminds me of how a young Gemma might have gotten her start in the club, while Jax as a young JT and Clay, and Hale as a young Unser. Awesome writting by Sutter and Crew.

Opie going all crazy like on the Mayans was S-I-C-K. I loved it! This season has gone off like a shot. Can’t wait to see what SAMCRO does to LOAN revenge for Gemma. Atkins and Rollins are great as villians. Hope we learn more about the history of the club this season too.

im a bit dissappointed, tom arnold as a porn producer? jumped the shark..tom arnold anywhere close to porn or booze scares me. too many story lines crammed into an hour… im trying to multi task all of this… i did like Opies freakin out and walking through the gunfire ..that looked sincere.I wanted closure on jemma rape, i want necks ripped off and nuts on the ground… the angst of clay and jax is welcomed.. the mayans not so much, im waiting for the Necon Nazi MFERS to get thers. its going to be like a soprano blood fest… maybe it will be a 2 hour special. why do i think Tara and jemma do the finishing touches on Rollins and Arkin…. stay tuned…

I LOVE THE SHOW CANT WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE

Question-Obviously Abel is not Tara’s son, so who is Abel’s mother?
Thanks
GG in SF,NM

Oh man best show on tv by far and I dont blog or comment on shows but SoA is outstanding

I just want to say that after watching the whole season in one day I am hooked.. with all the characters.. love them all I cant wait to get my hands on the second season.. and spend the whole day with the SONS OF ANARCHY.. I will be a fan 4ever… OUTSTANDING, AWESOME one of the best TV shows i have ever watched… Erica South Africax

G shut up stupid (shorten version of Jakes post) everyone has the right to be anything they want to be its called freedom. What ever it is just like you have the right to post on this forum and say how you feel. GET IT!

Great show because it shows the inner turmoil that Jax feels about being a outlaw even though he obviously does not have a problem with the killing part. If the show was just about SAMCRO killing and stealing, it would be cancelled sooner than later because watching senseless violence with no justice is not what American audience’s want to see…..Just look to law and orders popularity.

G - understand the dilema but that doesn’t mean you can’t root for the good guys and think that everytime SAMCRO get’s jammed up - that they deserve it because they choose the path of crime. My only gripe on the show it that the good guys are moronic and dysfunctional - so I am hoping that Hale’s character keeps on the path of being a fair lawman.

Jake,
Ok, lets put this in layman’s terms. “Outlaw Motorcycle Gang” means just that. Better yet, a gang is a group of persons who share a common identity and who generally engage in criminal behaviour. In contrast to the criminal behaviour of other youths, the activities of gangs are characterized by some level of organization and continuity over time. There is no consensus on the exact definition of a gang, however, and scholars have debated whether the definition should expressly include involvement in crime. Some gangs, but not all, have strong leadership, formalized rules, and extensive use of common identifying symbols. Many gangs associate themselves with a particular geographic area or type of crime, and some use graffiti as a form of nonverbal communication. You are correct about movie stars and such also committing crimes and when they get caught they are put where they belong. But they didn’t join a group who’s sole purpose is to enguage is criminal acts purley for the advancement of the club. As for knowing any 1%ers, I have known several and can proudly say I have helped put many where they belong, in prison. Thankfully real cops aren’t idots like the one’s portrayed on the show. As for freedom, I fought in two wars for the freedom we enjoy, I also fought for the right to be free from tieriny and oppression

Trip,

My apologies; In re-reading the posts, I see you appropriately confronted “G” and brought up “freedom”. I thought G(estapo) simply injected it into his post which was addressed directly to me.

“Sells drugs, murder, rape, extortion, the list goes on and on.” pay taxes? then you support that on many levels. chill out. ‘bad s#!t’ is conducted in every strata of society.

No problom Jake I thought G was a cop He does have the right to his opion though .The show does glorfy the life and members do some nasty things to people. The cops on the show are made to look like idots and that is what his problom is. Not that they use real bikers. G be honest thats what has you upset not the fact that they use real members of a club ( not gang). I have to agree that the writing part on the cops is weak. What they should show is Clay giveing the cop a envople full of money to look the other way, that would be more realistic now wouldnt it? Cops break the law when ever they feel like it. Thats why in part there is clubs in the first place. So to not watch a TV show cause they use real bikers in my opion is stupid . Thats why I called you stupid if you posted,I hate they way the cops are portryed its unreal I would have agreed. My brother was a fireman and he hung with cops and got to know them and they arent stupid. The part were the female ATF agent gave Bobby a ride to the biker party was about the stupidest thing I have seen on TV yet. The show is getting better as it goes along. I feel the younger cop is going to cause Sam Crow a lot of grief in the future. Post how you honestly feel instead of danceing around how you really feel about the show useing real bikers Its only a TV show you know you will watch every show stop wineing have a donut you know it will make you feel better. ; ) Opinions are like assholes everyone has one and the right to voice it.

G(estapo):

So you had to look up “gang” in the encyclopedia to find out what to say? You just took it all in and swallowed the whole load. That’s really pathetic. You’re really pathetic.

But you keep reading your encyclopedia; we may need some more quotes here for our amusement. Tonight, I’ll be enjoying some beers, squeezin’ some titties and watching SOA!! And the more 1%’ers involved with the show as paid advisors, extras, etc…, the better! Make it as gritty as you can Kurt Sutter!

What the hell is going on? I love this show! Yes I do know 1%ers, yes they are good to me. This is a TV show, there is fluff. The cop that is on here who doesn’t watch the show (who is really a closet SOA fan) needs to calm down a bit. Here is the reason, in order to make a show some what realistic, you need to talk to people who know what goes on. Is it too bad the ATF agents get a bad rap? Sure. But the SOA help the town cops, they keep the town safe. Now lets just sit back, have some some beers as Jake said, (no titties for me I have my own) and enjoy the show. If you don’t want to watch, don’t. But come on now man, free speech or not quit f*****g spouting BS. And thank you for being 1 of the MANY (including lots of bikers) that have fought for our freedom to make shows about outlaw motorcycle clubs.

Warren -
someone did mention it on one of the other threads. I never watched sopranos; what happened to the Adriana character?

Jake,
If your not a gangmember then why call yourselves “Outlaws” or 1%ers. As for being honest, I really don’t like the fact they use real gangmembers, if they didn’t I would watch it no matter how cops were portraied.

G its club members not gangmembers you said you put some behind bars you should know that anyways do give up on Hale he is going to be the end of Sam Cro in the long run. Just like all of you are its what the goverment pays you to do lock up the free. If you dont like the show dont watch it ( but we all know you will)

so glad to see henry in the second season. been missing his crazy ass, as well as his show. political opinion is improtant at the present, i would appreciate his.

Trip? Jake? G?
aaah c’mon. It’s a frikkin teevee show! get a grip, kids.
If I had a production company I would develop and produce whatever the hell I wanted, to get kik azz ratings but not cross the brothers. Who gives a rattz azz about corporate crooks or cops. Or citizens. I wanna make an entertaining show! period. (and that is what SOA is, in spades; shows us the duality of life is not simply black and white. It’s many shades of grey)
There are haters all across he interweb landscape. Ignore those that diss the show too much. Me? I luvvit. watch each tuesday eve all three showings. (sponsors love that. Yea. I drink more sam adams at da bars. Buy more taco hell fakefood. Buy a girlie or a fag at da bar a Michelob Ultra. Fine. whatevaz. Just keep these eps comin as you have, boyz! Mahalo from Hawai’i!
“who does the song “give me your love” when Jax & Tara are in the bathroom?”
Gem, wasn’t that kick azz!? fantastic editing! great scene and buildup!

I love the porn mill angle. Some are repulsed by the fact the production uses real 1%ers. who cares. (personally I luvvit. “gives back” as it were)
I love the fact they are using real porn stars as extras. Get that blond girl a SAG card! the chick mending her black high heel. She is known as “Darryl Hannah” in MILF clips. Bebe! she is suuuwheeet! If she can hit her marks, use her!

Jake: Adrianna was an FBI informant. She was taken out in the woods and killed by one of the members of the Tony Soprano’s crew.

LOVE THIS SHOW! I can’t wait for next week. Love Tara and Jax. Glad to see Tara put that chick in her place. The bathroom scene with Tara and Jax - WOW! Gemma is aweseome - cant wait for her revenge. Glad to see Gemma and Tara starting a friendship and hope it continues

I just have one piece of advice for G and all thr portestors of porn and anything else one mught find offensive…TURN OFF YOUR F**KING TV and STAY OUT OF THE PORN SHOPS….douchebags

And by the way…I know someone else said this but, to reiterate since some can’t read or simply don’t pay attention…the are CLUB members not GANG members…come on up to Detroit and hang in the hood for a few minutes and spew your bulls**t there…then you will find out what a gang member is.

LOVE this show!! That scene with Jax in the bathroom. SMOKIN’HOT!!! DAMN!!!Loving the chemistry between Jax and Tara! Can’t wait to see if Gemma will get her own with the Ariyan’s or what happens if/when Clay and the club find out what happened to her!!

I absolutely love this show. I know this isn’t the real thing but it is still a great story line and once you watch it, it sucks you in. I am so glad that it is back on. I am glad that Tara claimed her man Hottie Jax, because the porn ho was no good. I hope gemma gets better and her and Clay start going back to the way they were. Can’t wait til enxt week.

I freakin loved last night’s episode. It was suspensful, sad, and out right sexy. I love Jax and Tara’s relationship and how they’re ready to get down and dirty any time and any where. It was cool to see Tara take claim to that fine piece of ass that she has.

Clay is a dirtbag…getting head from someone else just cause he ain’t getting any at home.

I really hope that Gemma tells Clay and Jax what happened to her. I can’t wait to see what they’ll do to those assholes for hurting they’re “Queen”. Nothing is sexier than a man sticking up and protecting his woman by any means necessary.

Oh how I love this show!!!

when unser was trying to get gemma to go to a help-group, he said sexual assault, one second later tig approached her from behind the wall of the garage. did he hear? someone’s gonna break the silence, cause she is going to burn the place down and they’re all gonna want to know why.

To all the people that are disturbed that the show uses real members, I would like to note as someone with ties to the industry, that many many many shows, included those on basic network stations, use real members of such groups to add authenticity to their shows. Whether they are on-air, or used as technical advisors, their knowledge of the life an culture, outside the law, is what gives these shows credibility.

Show is great! The Jax & Clay thing is kind of taking away from the story line { I know its an Tv show} but would not go on in real Mc! Tara is goning to be a real force! As for Opie keep him opie? Also are there going to be another Mc that SOA is going to have to deal with? Last how about seeing some other chapters of SOA coming to hang at the Mother Chapter? Thanks never miss the show.

I think Tara is beautiful and Intelligent the way she claimed her man with the porn chick was great.The pron story line fits.Clubs are right into that vice in many ways.The Jax and Clay thing is a inportant part of the story line.I am looking forward to see were that is going to go.The odds of that happening in real life are slim but it makes for great TV.It cant be easy to write a show like this and I feel the writers and actors are doing a great job.Haveing real bikers advising brings authenticity and what makes the show a record holder for the most viewers in FX history. Enough said

Totally rocking episode!! Loved the Tara/Jax scenes, they are awesome together. That porno ho needed to be put in her place but I liked how Tara handled the situation. Gemma grooming Tara to be the “matriarch” of the club, two thumps up. Totally loving how closer Gemma and Tara are getting. Bumming about Clay and Gemma, hope the club finds out soon about what happened to her so they’ll know why she is acting the way she is and the guys go after LOAN. Luann doing that? What a surprise. No wonder she was freaken out when Bobby took over the books. Tigs, Chibs and Juice had some of the best lines in this episode. So funny Mad Men’s Don Draper, who was Maggie Siff’s love interest in season 1 of Mad Men, getting spanked by Lyla in the beginning with Chibs and Juice given a standing ovation. BWAHAHAHAHA!!

I for one like Tara. Her character is evolving and it will be interesting to see how far this “straight” gets into the life. After all, she has her day job to protect. She handled the porn ho good, but there will be more challenges and she will have to eventually give her a public smack down in order to maintain respect.

I think the Jax/Clay storyline is central to the whole premise of the series. It’s sort of a Hamlet thing going on.

As far as people being “offended” because they use real 1%ers, then I guess you don’t watch any mob movies either. Goodfellas and Casino were both written based on real mobsters. And they are both excellent movies because of the level of accuaracy and authenticity.

Free - I looked at Hale’s move another way. He obviously doesn’t like SOA or the Nazi’s so why not let them take out each other. Jax told him if he did not deal with it - SOA would , so all he had to do was step out of the way. So who knows - he may have not really chosen a side.

Rem - Bobby is a dirtbag murderer - so you think he is going to get all holier than thou when he can get continous hummers to keep quiet? Just like in real life - almost all criminals are self serving scum and will stab their partners or brothers in the back or rat them out to save their asses…

I also love Tara and Jax as well. The love story brings great dynamic to the show. Great episode. Can’t wait for more.

I love it; “I desPISE drugs.” Says the guy with a half dozen cigar shops (and some don’t like the MC cuz of their “activities”… huh.

would love to see some behind the scenes stuff here on the blogs. what area is impeccable smokes shop located? looks a little like Topanga cyn/ventura blvd. area.
Check out The Pub, 2329 Fair Oaks Ave Pasadena (Altadena), CA on Google Earth. You will recognize ep 13. Niner’s hangout when Piney and everyone went there…

Hey razzaa…
Don’t like it?
Simple… don’t watch it dumbass!!!
Stay on the Disney Chanel.

Ya know, for quite a while, I didn’t realize that Hale was a ranking officer in the PD…in real life, a deputy chief would wear at least two, maybe three stars on the collar, just like the Chief wears four stars…it’s obviously a small department, but it would be good if Hale got into his proper uniform!!!! Hey, he looks like any ol’ slick sleeve without ‘em…

I hate to ask this but what is a 1%er? Sorry for sounding stupid but I am just a housewife/mom from the suberbs wishing I was Tara.

Hi SOA Nut,

Back in the day, the American Motorcycle Association, to distance itself from “outlaw biker clubs” made a statement that 99% of bikers were decent, law abiding citizens…leaving 1% as the “outlaws”. The “outlaw clubs” took this as a badge of honor and identify themselves with the 1%er patch…Hope this helps!

SOA nut, never be afraid ask. there are no dumb questions. only unasked ones. we all gotta start somewhere and no one is instantly born imbued with all the answers. so, no shame, ask away!

it’s a good thing the American Motorcycle Association back then didn’t proclaim a law abiding motorcycle citizenship percentage of a more realistic ninety two point seven…
Otherwise we’d have MCs proudly sewing on patches reading “7.3%er”
Nope. not the same effect…

Thank you

(Tara? tantra? Freudian?)

remember when Abel was in the toaster? all these people walking into the hospital gazin down at him… If he had one o daddy’s guns… But ya know, he coulda sold that beanie he was wearing 20 times over!

Great episose, amazing series, just watched all of Season 1 in a matter of 16 hours..I friend suggested the show to me, I started watching, I got hooked. Just now watched the first couple episodes of Season 2 to catch up…gonna be an interesting season.

Now, I’m the first to allow for some type of artistic license, but something I can’t swallow is the idea that there’s a Bar Mitzvah in Charming….country town, way outside Oakland, with a population of roughly 13,000, that’s controlled by a biker gang…there’s no way in hell any Jews are living there!!!

This show brings back memories when I lived at the Outlaw’s Clubhouse in Tennessee when I was a lot younger. It was a great time and I will never forget it. I smile just thinking about those times. I will never forget them. I always could kick some butt on the pool table at the clubhouse.

1%er also means a person that doesn’t obey the laws of society set by the goverment. That lives by his own laws 1%er means 1%er of the population that is a totally free man.
