Keep Your Eyes On the Road, Your Hands Upon the Wheel

I’m a latecomer to Sons of Anarchy, having just started watching last season - but the show sucked me right in and I cannot wait to see what happens next. At the end of Season 2, Gemma (Katey Sagal) had unwittingly set into motion a ripple of effects, including her grandson’s apparent kidnapping.

Series creator Kurt Sutter has said that Season 3 will explore SAMCRO’s roots; we’ll also be following Gemma, on the run with the Chief after committing one murder and being set-up for another. But likely the most compelling and interesting bit will be the coming together of Jax (Charlie Hunnam) and Clay (Ron Perlman); no matter what, the club puts family first.

I just crapped my cubicle I'm so excited.

I want so badly to hate this show. I hate anything that glorifies trashy motorcycle gangs and their old ladies (and I know this shows the bad parts but it still makes then look cool), and yet, I love this show and just can't make myself stop watching.

Last weekend I realized Jackson was in Green Street Hooligans.

Really? His name is Jax? I thought It was "Jacks"

okay, that is all.

Who the fuck would name their kid Jacks besides a Southerner that watches Nascar and is illiterate?

His name is Jackson. Jax for short.

It's going to be intriguing where they go from the Season 2 end. Gemma was, in some ways, the glue that held Jax and Clay together while also being much of the reason they were always butting heads. With her gone and on the run, I guess we're going to see them bonding over trying to recover Jax's son.

What will that mean to Jax's overall goal of reforming SAMCRO?

Why would they wait until a week before season 3 to release the season 2 DVD? Now I'll have to save season 3 on my Tivo until I can get those disks watched. Way to lose real-time viewers, Fox.

FUCK...

...YES

Three-Nineteen- almost every tv show does that, not just FX. And you should be able to watch season 2 in a week. It's 12 or 13 episodes. That's 2 episodes a day which breaks down to 90 minutes a day. Not including the average American's two days off.

Wow.. .that was hot. I forgot how ridiculously hot Jax is. But I have to say, this whole taking December-September off is simply ridiculous. I wished they followed a schedule similar to Burn Notice

I'm really trying to find somewhere to see this show so I can get caught up. It looks great, I can't remember why I haven't been watching....

Delurking to say that this is my favorite non-AMC television show right now. Never has a show made me actually sit up and plead with it like last season's finale did. I was depressed for a week after watching it.

Got my Blu-Ray copy of S2 preordered on Amazon. The GF and I will speed through it in four days tops.

Bring on Season 3!

I just need Jax to have better facial hair and then I can lust after him properly. He reminds me of a blonde mountain goat at the moment.
And I hope (i.e. desperately want) there to be lots of Gemma kicking ass and taking names in this season - I have such a girl crush on Katey Segal.

Grace, you might consider http://www.casttv.com/shows/sons-of-anarchy

How did Katey Sagal miss out on an Emmy nomination? True, she could never reach the dramatic zenith of multi-Emmy-nominated Jon Cryer or Fran Drescher, but throw the gal a bone.

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD so excited. Pissboy and I will be doing everything humanly possibly to make sure we don't miss one second of this show. The last several months has been killing us. I agree with whoever said this taking off Dec-Sept is for the birds...especially now that I will no longer have Jack Bauer to distract me for some of that time.

Oh my sweet baby jebus. I just started watching this show. I am ashamed to admit that I watched seasons 1 & 2 in two days. Twenty-six episodes in about 48 hours or less. Needless to say, I am totally hooked. I've always had a thing for guys on motorcycles, so this is like waving a frappuccino in front of Ms. Spears. In other words, I am drooling. I'm glad it is starting up again relatively soon, I don't think I could bear the wait otherwise.

Oh God, I so love this show. It was a little slow going the first half of Season 1 with Charlie Hunnam finding his footing as the character Jax but after that is was ALL good.

So happy Season 3 is a month away. But where is Sagal's Emmy nomination? Hell where is her Emmy period?

At a loss to explain to people why this damn show is so addictive for me, what paddydog said firmed it up. Because what paddydog said is kind of dumb.

Sorry, what kind of culture are we living in when we only find palatable stories about white people of a minimum economic status? Because of course black shows show everything from Good Times to Fresh Prince of Bel Air. See, we EXPECT Good Times and get the warm mediocre fuzzies from My Wife and Kids, but a show about working class people who aren't should be Cops, or People of WalMart, The Movie.

Huh. What I like so much about this show is that it does reveal how similar a legitimate small business and a a criminal operation are.

I like that it fearlessly shows the misguided race loyalties for the clubs, and how if you wanted to be one of those edumicated folks you could you know, makes some analogies to ethnic troubles through history and the world. And it's not, by that measure a white trash show. The central characters are driving 40g DynaGlides, and doing business with wads of money.

I like that the older actors on the show look their age, look aged. They look like time lapse capsules of my aunts and uncles from my childhood to now. Katey Sagal looks tough and lovely.

Last, I could say the same about shows I don't have the sightest interest in like Mad Men or Sex and the City. I don't have any interest in watching vapid ninnies and dolts suck cocktails and dip their wicks in each other.

Opie Winston is SEXY.

Oh, forgot. They cast Jeff "China Beach" Kober as deputy Hale's Brother for fuck's sake! They look like they were cultured in the same in vitro dish! How can you not like this show?

Posted by: Stacy D at July 31, 2010 4:41 PM

Well, you guys got me. I stayed up until 5 am watching Season 2 last night. The last ten minutes of the season finale BLEW ME AWAY. I was simply speechless when it ended. I cannot wait for Season 3 (and already have the first two dvd sets in my Amazon cart for when I have money again) and all the craziness. Charlie Hunnam just killed it in that season finale and any doubts anyone else had about him or the strength of the show (it felt a little formulaic in the first half of season one to me at least, even though that season finale was awesome, awesome as well) has completely been erased.

Man, Friday Night Lights starts up again in October, this fall is gonna be out of control. Am now off to convince everyone I know to start watching SOA.
