Shakespeare on a Hog: The Sons of Anarchy thread

he said it was an unofficial custom and not a bylaw, though

Speculation I saw was patching the Grim Reapers to give the club enough bodies.

Exit, pursued by a bear pig or twenty.

Because of the last few weeks irl, my first response was, "That's really not very many cops"

Cops pretty leisurely in pursuit. But who cares. Thank god this is done.

You probably should have gone with "it is finished" to further hammer home the clumsy Christ imagery.

that would have really "nailed" the ending

lol the very ending

i really had hope that the great pulpy storytelling side of the show would surface as it finished..but man…this episode was so bad. so boring.

the mayhem vote was actually a good scene and to then ruin it by having it be another wacky jax plan..and the last scene is just such a huge pileup of terrible writing and directing and editing and acting decisions.

it's always been clear that kurt sutter thinks that jax is a really cool guy and not a pathetic asshole but i wasn't expecting the full blown tongue bathing that goes on here…lol at jax draped in his jedi knight robes on the courthouse steps

introducing michael chiklis as a truck driver character who just happens to give gemma a ride, then happens to be driving along when jax needs a truck to ride into

kind of hoping he gets a spinoff series

zero-fat grownup macho Hunnam looks boring

they should have let Gemma get away with chiklis, then went ahead with the rest of the plot. But then at the moment when Jax crashes, he sees Gemma in the passenger seat. Capture both of their facial expressions and end the series.

The CGI at the end was hilariously bad, the rest of the episode was just bad.

i got tired of how bad they were at being criminals. i felt bad for them. i don't think they could have stolen a pack of gum without it ending in multiple deaths. i think i actually liked ireland the best. maybe i'll watch the last couple of seasons someday...

this show sounds terrible but why should i be surprised? tbh even when i liked SOA at the beginning it was still a dumb and faintly despicable show too.

yep

I'm only at season 5 episode 4 so I haven't read any of this thread but geez Gemma is evil!

WOW! Tig lusting after Walter Goggins, I haven't laughed as much in awhile!

And still she steals my heart.

Fuck this show

haha where are you?

Just finished season 6, Tara was my hero. Feel bad about people, my decisions, but at this point I have to see it out.

oh yeaaaa

ugh

Tig just won my heart heart and might be the hero in this shitshow. How or why they decided to throw in this love story I have no idea, but in the midst of the murder, torture, sexism, and stubbornness I'm grateful there's an against all odds lay my soul bare love story. I still have 3 more episodes until the end, so they could just ruin it, but I hope not.

Haha that side story def semi redeems the last couple seasons

can't wait for spinoff prequel show, "Juice Makes the Worst Decisions"

it will be called Juice-tified

I actually think of this on the reg, like people I know that just constantly make the worst decisions, one of whom is named Anthony. useage e.g. Anthony is so Juice-tified.

episode 2 and this is gonna scratch all the itches alright

Just stop when they leave for Ireland.

Wait, when they get back from Ireland, there's a couple of funny bits there.

milo otm

ive been potting about catching these in dribs and drabs, but ive heard enough to know that a shark is about to be oerleapt- the lads are just about to head off to belfast (which you'd think would be a hard word to mispronounce but).

now without me reading thread or hearing spoilers, should i call it quits now or power through

wait wasnt this answered literally in the last two posts

it's years since I've watched this, but I think the Irish script consultant was actually Jon Bon Jovi!

xp -- oh, you should power through but definitely have a beverage nearby

i think i landed on actually liking this show on the whole despite its massive flaws. not sure i could stomach a rewatch tho.

i confirmed stopping upthread but sarahell is otm - watch with booze! it’s bad but youve come this far,

you can play the drinking game where you drink at every stereotypical portrayal of the Irish

i always do

bell, fast

Mayans MC had all the stupidity and brutality with none of the laughs of the first 2.5-3 seasons of SOA that made it watchable. Almost curious to watch a Sutter-less season to see if anything changed.

I couldn’t even get through the pilot of that show

all the stupidity and brutality with none of the laughs of the first 2.5-3 seasons of SOA

glad i left it alone

Was the move to Ireland noticeably more ridiculous? I can't remember anymore. I recall SoA being fairly ridiculous from the get go.

the only thing missing was leprechauns and a Sean O’Connery carriage ride

sister bangin'

just realized that kelly loeffler reminds me of agent stahl

Hard to say if the show's nadir was the Dave Navarro-related school shooting or the murder of several dozen sex workers that is completely forgotten within two episodes.

so many nadirs
