Sons of Anarchy

I got that same feeling, but I don't think it had to be that way. The premise of the twist was fantastic, especially considering it is not far fetched at all and as I said, it brings back in the idea that we really are all living in anarchy, with no rule of law if the law keepers are law breakers too... BUT, the way it was carried out and went down was non-climatic.

I too thought they were going to start a shoot out. THey could have played that up more. Ah well...

In my mind, the climax of that episode was Jax's conversation with Tara. What will he say? That was amazingly well done, considering all that lead up to it, the only thing that would have made it better would have been if he had talked to Opie after, so that we found out when she found out.

Still great though. Love this show.

The anti-climactic, cop out resolution is kind of a thing for the series, though. Remember last season, when Clay and Jax were just like "Oh yeah, I was never going to be working for the Feds. That was totally the plan! Sorry Jemma, gotcha!"

It's fine, though. I felt like the resolution here was at least somewhat believable, and it gave Jax the reason he needed to stay with the club without letting Jemma win. I still wish Clay had just died, but I guess that can wait.

Well, it took Hamlet a long time to exact his revenge so I would have been surprised if Jax offed Clay already. And Jax killing a weakened and pathetic old man in his hospital bed is hardly entertaining. I'd prefer to see them go to battle when Clay is 100%.

I really liked the finale, the last shot of Tara and Jax fading into Gemma and John was also not surprising. But I found it oddly satisfying as a narrative and an interesting way to cap off the season. I think though, it was all about Gemma winning and getting what she wanted. We saw Jax and Tara through her eyes for a moment.

I do wonder if Tig and Clay are going to be subverting Jax's agenda next season. Tig looked none to happy about being asked to move down a chair.

You know what I would do: a flashback episode of young JT, young Gemma, Clay, Piney, back in the day... Hell, START it in Vietnam where they all meet - like JT saves Clay from near death and that's how they become friends... We get to finally see some of the rich history here...

Here's a good article my wife found about the finale.

Funny, I never thought of it as a mid series reboot, but that's what Sutter is seeing it as.

That would be an amazing idea.

Did anyone else notice the cigarette smoke blowing around in front of jax when he was talking to them alone in the barn ? None of those three actors were smoking . Check the scene again , you'll see it . Weird .

I thought the first half of this 2 part-er was a better season ender.

The question is still nagging at me....has a Son cried in each episode this season?

SONS OF ANARCHY Renewed through Season Six; Showrunner Kurt Sutter Inks Three-Year Deal

Great news!

Good for him. Good for us.

Creator Kurt Sutter Talks

Love this series....can't wait for the return

I don't know about a prequel series. I think I'd rather see those stories told in the context of SOA itself. But, I do like the idea behind the original founders of the club.

I just started getting into this show on Netflix and WOW I'm LOVING it. I actually am currently holding off on watching Season 3 until Season 4 shows up on DVD or Instant. But yeah, I really dig it. It's exceptionally well acted, and I'm impressed with the boundaries that they can push on non-pay TV, although that may also be because I'm watching some "unedited" version. Great news on the renewal, too.

Might be stuttering Tyler!! Lol think it might be the 9ers or the cartel.

Holy Frak!

My guess that it is the Peg Leg Nomad that just joined the charter.

So intense... Happy we got a 90 minute opener.

How many episodes we get this season?

I loved the episode and definitely didnt see what happened was coming at all. Cant wait to see how the season plays out. Im also wondering who the peg leg was,...I was trying to think about from past episodes but couldnt recall anyone.
