Loved the show on Tuesday, to bad they are only an hour. I could watch them forever. I wish they were more times during the week!

As for Gemma Clay is an ass. He doesnt get some at home for 3 weeks and tells her basically lets go to dinner (have sex) or Ill get it else where. For someone who loves her so much and cant live without her he sure seems to stray easily.

I cant wait for next week when all teh guys are out of town and Gemma either kills or gets violent with the Nazi bastards that raped her.

I guess once hale finds out that he just “protected” someone who raped gemma he will have the same guilt he did when they set up Opie and he didnt say anthing.

I so thought Tig heard what Unser was saying and feel he already kind of suspects as he looked at her funny when she backed away from Clay when he grabbed her and when she walked in the club after bobby got shot. He either has seen the behavior before or knows about it. Hes creepy but you tend to like him, not sure why.

Great show couldnt make it to Tuesday with out it!

Hale, is dumb as a box of rocks! He thinks he has the SOA where he is in control, he is playing “TRIPLE RAT”! The typical crooked pork, pork is as pork goes!

I too am a huge fan of SOA. Love the storylines. Can’t wait for Tuesdays to arrive. Lets keep the relationship with Jax and Tara going. Gemma is awesome…strong strong woman.

as a club guy my self i will have to say the parties on TV are better in real life only a couple of the guys get lucky not the whole chapter Ive awakened in the clubhouse before after a night of parting to go run the road to get to another one this is the only thing on TV worth watching for me Ive never been the kind of person that watches a regular TV show but i make sure i am home for this or look for it on the web witch sucks for me because Wednesdays are my day of and i hate that they moved it to Tuesdays but other than that its great i can relate to some of the guys and some of the characters remind me of my club brothers here in south Florida wogmc

I am frustrated with Gemma for keeping her secret.
I just wanna tell clay and get it out there because their bickering is driving me nuts.

Also where the hell did Jax ex wife go? she just disappeared. Her rehab would be done by now and she would be fighting for him again.

Tara is cool but i am ready for her to be all in or all out. Jax needs some one strong like his mom to help him turn the club around!

Brittany,
Wendy is in rehab on the show but I read that she’s started on Desparate Housewives this season. Dunno when to expect Drea DeMateo back… but I think it would work with the plot lines.
Enjoy

It’s an interesting part of the story that Hale is conflicted.

He wasn’t siding with the DEA guy who was stalking Tara. Not sure how you come up with that.

He didn’t “help” set up Opie. He made it clear he didn’t like it from the start. He was conflicted about telling anyone b/c he didn’t want to betray his badge. In the end he did end up telling Unser. It was just too late.

He did decide to ignore the cook shop b/c of Zobelle’s speech outside the cigar shop. He no doubt will feel guilty about that as well.

Also, once he finds out what they did to Gemma, he will no longer support them. Zobelle has him convinced that he can only regain control of the town from SOA by doing things his way.

As time goes by, I think Hale and Jax will continue to work together on certain things.

I am totally obsessed with this show…Tuesdays are the best I look forward to it all week…I hope that Gemma and Tara team up with Unser and take care of “The League” tonight when the boys are away…this is the best show on TV by far…I didn’t realize how many people are into it and I hope it stays on forever!!!

Can’t believe that Clay threaten Jax. Omg. Jax is a hottie on this show but did anyone ever see him on Queer as Folk? Couldn’t even believe it was the same guy. Gemma stay strong and shoot that guy if you want.

It was a great episode. I am sorry that you won’t be watching the show again since the brought up the healthcare thing. I think that is really crazy to stop watching a show because of the opinions that are thrown in. Great job cast and crew! Once again Kurt you have blown me away, can’t wait for next week’s episode.

Hey I agree w/Pacspoon. What kinda of bad-ass biker worry about a HMO or even have insurance. These guys are supposed to be gun running, murdering outlaw bikers. Do u think any of the big 4 would worry about that. If it was real they would have kick the crap out of everyone in the hospital, stolen some meds and completed the operation on their own. Leave the politics for the news shows. We need a escape for a hour.

Shows rolling along pretty good. The air between Clay & Jax is so thick you can mix it with a spoon, or paddle. Looking forward to the climax of that.Maybe it’ll be Op thats settles the score, who knows. Well guess KS and writers do. Good stuff either way

Gemma will come around and then there is going to be some new souls in hells half acher, she just needs some time to collect her self.Then,,,let da bodies hit da floor! Even better if Unser helps her out, kind of go out in a blaze of glory. Old tigers are the fiercest at the end!

Tig taunting the bounty hunters, classic,did spot the political HMO ref.Well isn’t the first time Hollyweird has wove in some views, not gonna stop watching because of that. In America, it’s allowed! Ya’ll know about that whole freedom of speech thing we have going here,right? But agree with MM, would like the escape, for a least an hour! Just a thought Kurt,,,,,,

Get a kick out of the repeats on the bikes and Jax clean duds, like being scummy and cruddy is a pre-condition to be a biker. Born into Bikerdom and have always kept my arce clean, even when on the road, there are plenty of places a tramp can catch a scrub, gas stations, rest stops,streams & rivers so on and so forth, and lets not forget some honeys pad! Also plenty of bikes with fairings out there, even the cute li’ll sissy type!

Bobbys Fat Boy,damn thats funny and so true to life. I damn sure know a few of thoes. Sack is getting off light from some of the chit have seen prospects go through in the real world.

So the Irish are coming? Should be interesting, in all last 3 ep’s hit the mark, looking forward to the rest with all the white sneeks, clean cut, baggy pants wearing,six pack sporting, cool special effects, way to many bad shots, sissy fairing riding, revenge seeking, white separatist stomping, smoking hot mama’s,,, bikerdom to come from SOA! Charrrrrge!

And as always folks, all BS aside, Ride safe, watch out for one another and don’t take any crap from anyone!

I can’t believe how much I enjoy this show. I would like to know a couple of things:
1. When doing the background for SOA, did the writers collect from a wide conglomeration of outlaw MC’s out there? It seems like they get their name from the Sons of Silence, their colors from the Mongols, and their general bearing from the highwaymen.
2. I commend the writers on doing their homework on the next generation of outlaw MC member. Jax is the new blood of biker and the club is exactly what the future holds. people have to realize the logistics and intricacy that has to go into a gun running business in the present day era. A bunch of old guys with sixth grade educations aren’t going to get it done.
3. The wings above Clay’s left breast pocket. Are those modified jump wings or some other kind of MC related bling? I know that clay was supposed to have served in Vietnam and he has a service Tat, but as a Vet myself I was kinda wondering what branch and where does piney fit in to the old days?

Okay, I’ve got a question. I’ve been watching since the beginning, re-watching, etc. What is the “Men of Mayhem” patch on Jax, Opie, and Chibbs’ cuts? This has been driving me batty (yeah, yeah, how can one tell…) since the beginning.

Opie is really scaring me. He’s never stood against Jax, that I’m aware of. He almost seems angry with Jax for some reason. He’s too smart not to realize that Clay hit his woman - accident or not. It’s as if he’s driving the issue between Jax and Clay into the forefront…pouring gas on a lit flame, so to speak. He’s never been close to Clay (it took him months after getting out of Chino to even have a one-on-one chat with Clay), but he and Jax have stood by it all together.

Hale has put himself in a world of hurt. He’s going to be beating himself up for the rest of his life for what he allowed to happen - both Donna and the cookhouse. It would be very interesting to dig into Hale’s background and find out how he became what he is - especially considering his greedy Dad and brother. He’s almost clueless, but then not. Interesting character in a show filled with them.

Did anyone catch the tension when Cam Hayes and his kid let slip that some of the big guns (no pun intended) of the IRA were coming to US soil? Curiouser and curiouser. Chibbs is my FAVORITE! I am interested in seeing what happens between him and Irish when they show up - as he seemed to be the most angry.

Totally agree with Base about Unser - he will go out in a blaze of glory saving Gemma…or avenging her. He’s got a good heart - greedy, hypocrite tendencies aside.

Worried for Big Otto…caught the probability of an issue when Jax went to visit him. The previews for next week look horrible - anything that could make Otto cry like that’s gotta be horrific.

Love the show! SOA Rocks!

What is the “Men of Mayhem”. If i were to take a shot, it’s maybe a patch ya get if you perform a certain level or frequency of whatever it is they do…. They also have ‘reaper crew’ here and there.
One thing I don’t get is the constant chiding they give each other re; the level of supposed ‘reckless’ activity to getting things done - As if we gotta have strife in the script at every chance and turn. - Who has got the remote? - Opie ain’t usin one. Booom. Meth Lab is toast. Opie is thrown to the ground. Derisive scolding looks and tisk tisk-ing bounce back and forth among the boys.
Patrón Piney is in the saddle, makes like the old days and takes the reins, gets ‘er done. Tig was rescued in short order. No one got hurt. Mission accomplished. But that ain’t good enuff for Mopie Opie. he’s gotta chide. And scold. “Oh YOU have the death wish, Jax! I know you are but what am I!?” That rescue was risky and someone coulda stubbed a toe or got a hangnail. Sheesh. Did they all spontaneously turn Amish? Is Charming in Utah?! Heyall. I would be celebrating with the boys after bombing a house or flattening a motel while pullin a chatterbox “bro” away from his captors while he’s writing out a Hallmark “I’ll Miss You All” card for their benefit.
There were a few other of those “now you fellow bikers, don’t you DARE go doing anything Gemma would wag her finger at, oh look now ya gone an’ done it!” kinda scenes. But I forgot. Blame it on the dementia.
Sure, it ain’t a drama if there ain’t no “drama”. That’s why we watch escapist TeeVee. Cuz everyday life mostly has no entertaining strife conflict and drama. But still yet, thinkin about the characters in the show, it’s almost as if it is comprised of a buncha stevedores wrangled from the various docks and all they wanna do is involve themselves in pissing contests. Like it ain’t one cohesive charter, and at least not the original charter. From the glimmer I get. all members of one MC are like minded. and as pointed out, they sure as s#!t don’t lie to each other alla time. and scold or be scolded for goin renegade, wild, “reckless” resulting in mission accomplished? hmmmm… Oh. I get it. No one has anything above standard Health Insurance coverage!

clarification: “kinda label Angels and Quakers call the rest of humanity.” I meant angels on clouds with harps… and Quakers, doncha know.

Can someone fill my in? Who’s coming from Ireland? IRA dude on the lamd? Is there a SAMCRO chapter in Ireland?

I think the show is amazing! Yeah there are little flaws but easily overlooked. I have been a religious watcher since the first episode. I would like to see some more of the background of the club.

However I have one question who are the other eleven members pictured on SAMCRO’s wall.

I missed last season and caught some of the replays during the summer so i am a little lost of some things. Can someone tell me why SAM tried to Kill OPIE and ended up killing his wife?

Thanks

OK Love the show . .
Questions:
Was the blonde in the card that Gemma pointed the gun at the girl from the van and the doll?
Clay is a original member, BUT not one of the founders? Kinda confused. Pine and John are the founders?
I am worried for Unser…famous last words…”i won’t let anything happen to you” I agree blaze of glory for him. I vote let half-sack in. Tig gets the most mileage for the least lines.

I thought this weeks episode was damn good,and I agree with zeppi’s question I did not understand who was coming from ireland?? Clay dropping his bike was hillarious,he needs to drop his attitude he and opie seem to be pushing Jax toward a confrontation.My question is why has Opie seemingly turned against Jax,who has helped Opie from the start,even covered for Opie when he fuc*** up the hit from season one??But Clay threating Jax at the end tells me by the last episode of this season there will be a fight.I kinda like Bobbys plan put them in a room and let them settle it one on one. Cant wait till next week!!!

Scotty:
Last season Opie was set up by ATF to look like a rat and Clay fell for it. He had Tig try to kill Opie and he killed his wife by mistake. Hale knew that Op was set up and told Unser, but it was too late. Jax figured out what really happened and hasn’t told Opie (to maintain order in the club) and Opie is still trying to prove loyalty to the club so he’ll continue to side with Clay until the truth comes out. Hope it’s soon!!!!

Still around, still watching. Great filler ep last night. Hale is playing the coward card, hoping SAMCRO and the League will just take each other out? Bad idea. Hope he realizes that before it’s too late.

Was wondering if Otto was going to be safe in jail…thanks for answering that question.

Does anyone know what they were talking about with the Irish, someone coming for a visit? It was when they were packing the guns in the military store. I am so confused??????

where do they film the show at?

oh ya …and none of that HMO crap was for real.come on now,how many bikers have an hmo(retorical) and what town do you have to go to where you can blow through a motel room with your truck and no one calls the cops? dont get me wrong I LOVE THIS SHOW but some of this is too silly!

I thought Tuesday episode was bit on the commical side. The HMO slam….oh snap! I think there will be some career issues with Tara and the hospital. Last night episode, where the Nurse paged Tara and there was some Admin lady saying…”you seem to have alot of visitors lately, on both sides of the law.” Something could come out of SAMCRO and Tara career as a Doctor. This could possibly be an intro for things to come in future episodes.

I’ve been reading all the posts about Hale, there seems to be a lot of dif. takes on him. For me Hale represents “Joe average American” who has bought into the Black and white view of the world only to end up struggling with the fact that there is a whole lot of grey out there. Zobelle and the ATF could easily represent the Different factions of the establishment both using Hale’s inner conflict to push their own agenda. (sound familiar?) Then we have the Sons, Representing the ultimate Grey area. Although they live outside of the accepted norms they do provide protection and security for the town of charming.( ultimate statement about all politics being at there best when local)
As far as the Health care statement the other night…..Well it is Cali. so I guess they can’t help it.

Bret, hit the nail on the head. SOA poses many questions in the thinking viewer’s head; Is their microcosm, their own moral/societal codes and mores… no more nor less valid than the larger corrupt government they live within?

Come on, someone tell Clay or Jax what happened to Gemma, I wanna see wnna see some good ass whipping !!!

scotty… if i remember correctly,the dea or fbi made it look like opie ratted out the club so clay told tig to kill him. although clay learns opie didnt rat, its too late to stop tig cuz he isnt answering his cell phone…tig rolls up on what he thinks is opie in his truck and opens fire from behind,only to learn as he passes the truck that it isn’t opie inside, its opies wife and she is dead now! of course jax knows the truth now but is still hiding the truth from opie.hope that helps you!

i think the tara character is definately not working!!! shes just completely lifeless and dull! i think someone as hawt as Jax needs someone with at least some facial expressions!!! that actress that plays tara needs to go back to mad men!! please get a new love interest for jax, someone with a little fire to them!
