Ghostpilot posted:I was more surprised that the Russian mob did nothing in retaliation. I was interested in that becoming a storyline but as with most things with the show, it just kinda petered out. There was the whole thing where they kidnapped Jax and Opie out on the reservation and Romeo went in and got them.

I couldn't even find a mention of that, but I'll defer to you because I really don't want to revisit that season. v  vUnless it's to watch Potter jump up onto a table again.

This is kicking a dead horse at this point, but SoA is just as bad as Dexter in never following through on any consequences for events that, at the time, they play up as huge gamechangers. The whole "put your characters in a noose and then watch them squirm their way out" was a The Shield plot method - and one that actually worked because the characters often got out of an immediate issue only to screw themselves in the long term.

So I was at the local comic book store on Friday night with my guy, and this exchange happened: <ME> Holy poo poo, there's a Sons of Anarchy comic book!!!! <Guy> Is that good? <ME> No. <Guy> I've never watched it, but people rave about it. <ME> Oh, the first two seasons were phenomenal, but now... now... I'm hate watching it. <Guy> If it's so bad, you can stop watching it. <ME> No! I can't! The derive so much joy from watching it and telling others how awful it is, I feel like I am doing a public service announcement. <Guy>... <Guy> You're a weirdo. I did *not* buy the comic book.

I was so sure you were wrong about there being a SoA comic book because that just felt too weird to even imagine existing but no, it totally exists. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2013/09/05/sons-of-anarchy-comic-book-series/2771479/  There's even a preview on Scribd at the bottom of the article.

Ron Perlman animated into a comic book character is just wrong. I mean, without make up it's wrong. Otherwise, it's probably alright. Hey everyone, remember when Tig had his license revoked for a year and a half (or some dumb "plot" line like that) and he told Unser he'd be dead by the time he got it back? That wacky Tig, always overestimating the power of debilitating diseases, and underestimating Wayne Unser, the same man who was carved up, mentioned it once and then didn't say anything about it ever again, cause he's that much of a bad rear end.

Much like the hate watchers who can't stop watching this horrible show, Unser can't succumb to cancer until he sees how it all ends.

^^^  That warrants being saved for posterity. Just in case someone at FX witnesses that tweet in abject horror and Gotta admire the efficiency of Sutter reminding everyone of how much of a piece of poo poo he is in under 140 characters.

Reminder that Kurt actually wanted Jax to gently caress his sister but the network wouldn't allow it.

Yeah, just as wrong as I thought. What the hell is up with that patch the bikers have? Unless my sight is going bad, it looks like a huge question mark. Is that really there, or did the illustrator just not feel like putting much effort into this thing? Ghostpilot posted:He did? Wait, it's Sutter - of course he did. Strange that they drew the line there considering everything else. The ending of this gif makes it look like Tig's about to rape that guy. Now I'm kinda surprised Sutter didn't have Tig rape the guy's corpse before dumping him in the water. I'd say more, but I won't, on the very off chance that Sutter ever reads this. Wouldn't want to be giving him more ideas in that realm, now would we? Anyone here watch that show Aqua Teen Hunger Force? I just realized Sutter's basically that dog Meatwad got in one episode. "All I know is ball, good... and rape."

Guessing somebody bought the rights to the characters/likenesses but not the logo; either to save money or by not reading what they were buying. Copyrights are loving weird. E: ^ or that

I've really enjoyed the first two seasons. Everything that was happening was related in some manner, even if just through its effect on the club, and there was this constant thrill pervading every episode. There was Jax' tension with the club, his attempts to bring it back to the way his father saw it, his struggle to live with his role in the club while justifying it to the woman he loves... Now I'm 5 episodes into season 3 and it's very much a borefest. Lots of useless drama, no action, Jax crying about his baby, random Irish people crying about the baby, barely any plot movement, most of the characters from the club are completely neglected... is it just me? Does it continue being this way? (Please quote this if you answer so that I can look up the post and avoid spoilers (: )
