SONS!!!

Post by Shafpocalypse Now »

What utterly ludicrous situations will Kurt Sutter require us to suspend our disbelief and intelligence for this season? I, for one, think the more ridiculous violence and sex the better.

I hope the dude from Terriers fucks some shit up.

I skipped all of last season and probably half of the one before.

It jumped the shark and somehow makes the Central Valley look like less of a shit hole than it really is. Even with all the shootouts and Mexicans running around, they still don't manage to capture just how shitty most all of those cities really are.

People with an IQ skip this drivel and tune into Boardwalk Empire, Strike Back, and when that's all over with, they fap for a couple months until Game of Thrones comes back.

Please make this the last season or at least 2nd to last!

It was actually pretty entertaining and a lot of "what the fuck?" as you want with that show, but they need to wrap this shit up.

Lets see

Assraping
Torture porn
Drowning a dude in a bathtub of piss
Pissing on the dead man's head
(In the Internet aftershow, both Sutter And the dude who plays Nero snickered that the bathtub was full of theo rossi's piss and tears)
Jax fucking a MILF
Smack shooting and naked writhing

In the aftershow, Kim Coates ruined the Tig character because he's such a fucking actor faggot.

I'm finding it hard to like anyone in that show, other than Nero.

They destroyed their own lead character in traditional terms but I don't think Sutter or many in this era of the anti hero extreme give a fuck.

I'm about tired of these anti heros of this type.

These guys do bad and horrid shit so they can do bad and horrid shit.

It was one thing when the stroy was Jax wanting to find out about his dad and try to make his dream for the club, as a bunch of guys who commune, party, have gangbangs and ride bikes with secret handshakes and not a criminal org.

It's funny this episode got me thinking this way (someof that been brewing) as earlier in the day I had on a Justified shirt I got with the dvd set. (Good, thick XL tee) and I pull up to the drug store.

As I got out I noticed this redneck looking dude wearing an SOA shirt.

He gave me a hard look and I was about to say "Does your tv show t-shirt make you a badass?" but the irony of that hit me first so I said "C'mon Bro? You know the lead on my shirt would fuck up all those biker queers on your's."

The look on his face was priceless.

And the show is so fucking sci fi while being so fucking amoral, I'm about sick of it. I kind of like heros who are at least decent at their core and are not killing woman to save their own ass from the crimes they have done.

If you had a choice between your son being like Raylan Givens or Jax Teller, who would it be?

Agreed, it's just the bad kind of lurid now.

The central problem is they haven't earned the dark turn for Jax - Walter White getting continually more evil has been a well-plotted progression of darkness (and you're not supposed to 'root' for him anyway). Jax has just become more and more of an asshole without the dramatic weight to make it good tv.

I agree with your assessment.

It's just sideshow entertainment.

Guess how you all could have went living happily ever after, Sons? Let Clay do his fucking job. If you watch the first season or so, it looks like a motorcycle gangs clubhouse, now it's a pack of 4-5 idiot

Tig seeming to have a thing for Venus (Brilliantly played by Walter Goggins) is a little over the top for me. From a show that is already over the top.
I keep waiting for Venus to slip and say,"Now, Raylan....."

I'm hoping Venus and the black DA cross paths and kind of give each other a sly look.

I never even realized Venus was Boyd Crowder.

"Sons" is becoming the show I love to hate.

I read an interview w/ the last survivor of Badfinger about "Baby Blue" on "Breaking Bad." He was like "meh." But one point he made, was that he appreciated them using the original version. If you notice, "Sons" seldom uses an original... half the time it's a Katey Sagal remake, Sutter keeping it in the family.

I did love when they used Black 47's "Big Fella" a few seasons back. I fucking love that band.
