Sons of Anarchy

[the1kidd03]

Anybody watch it? Did you see the "child mass shooter?"

I don't know how I feel about this yet. Hope I don't have to swear this show off. I've liked it so far.

I like it a lot more than Breaking Bad or the Walking Dead but I've only seen about 10 episodes of Sons of Anarchy. Not really a very big fan of the show but it is alright.

I had trouble figuring out why that was necessary. It seem like as they tracked him through the show, they could have made him some kind of drug mule, but a mass shooter? Why?

 

[jrogers]

The show is a joke anyway. The storylines have been increasingly ridiculous since the start, the writers don't care enough to write believeable dialogue, and the decent actors who do come on the show are made to look ridiculous by the previous two issues. Additionally, showrunner Kurt Sutter is a giant baby who spends his time throwing tantrums when people point out what a piece of garbage his team turns out.

It has been successful in convincing fools to buy fake rockers and make their own pseudo-1% colors to wear when riding their Harley Davidson© motorcycles on warm, sunny Saturday afternoons, so I guess there's a certain level of entertainment to be had there.

Exactly. I can understand "why" in terms of the show. It makes sense to setup a precursor for the group to get out of gun running, but they couldn't come up with another way to do that? They had to play on some of the worst recent tragedies to accomplish it?

 

[the1kidd03]

I think I just realized what I don't like about it. While it is controversial (which isn't necessarily a bad thing for a tv show), this particular event, if it goes in the direction it seems to be, can (will) be used by the anti gun community to perpetuate their tactics of emotional assimilation.

they lost me a couple of seasons ago.

If you guys are right, would they really want that message in the hands of criminals? I mean, do they really believe that television criminals pretending to get a conscious will cause the real criminal element to have a change of heart?

I JUST finished episode 1 season 1 on netflix.


I liked it, but after reading some comments here, I'm unsure to continue watching...

You just described me and a few other guys who have bikes, to a 'T', except for the 1% rocker part. Just wish I had the time to ride more often.

It's been a really good series up until that ONE point.....and killing off my favorite last season...lol

Killing off Opie was a bad idea...start of the end.

Agreed. I omitted his name for those who haven't seen it yet though

Of course, it's my understanding from a friend of mine who is a HUGE Hollywood buff that they are only planning to get 2 more seasons out of the show. Time will tell, but if it's true that tells me that more things are going to decline the show coming up.

Wife was close to boycotting the series after this event....but I hate to admit we are addicted and we do love the series. Coming from a couple gun wielding, SPORT BIKE riders...still a good show to me

Isn't it weird how shows like Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, and Dexter can get you pulling for the bad guys to win?

People naturally have a desire for justice to be served. They need not rely on the government to apply that since often it is corrupted to a point where justice is not ADEQUATELY served in most people's eyes. There is a bit of a "vigilante" mindset in EVERYONE. It's simply a matter of their individual moral interpretation as to what the "greater good" is in balance with society's laws. Hence, shows like this really speak to people's primal instinct.

I like the show. It's just a soap oprea like Dallas, The Sopranos, etc. But I like it...maybe it's because it's sort of like a mob movie/series and those are among my favorites.

I haven't seen last night's episode yet but I hope it's not some sort of PC hommage. I remember the change in 24 after it went all PC. When Jack would leave a trail of dead bodies in his wake was when that show was at its best.

 

[45calibre]

The point of that event was to bring heat to the club that wont go away. They are going to trace that KG-9 back to them.

 

[nsolimini]

Did you guys also notice that the kid was Nero's buddies kid/stepson

 

[Bennettjh]

I watched it last night and seen that too. I don't understand why they had to put that in the show. I'm sure they'll tie it together later since it was Nero's entourage but still, I think they could have done without that. Probably could have left out Otto getting raped too, little weird IMHO.
