I guess I shouldn't admit I hadn't seen SOA before so I've started it now to go through it end to end. Did the same thing with House of Cards, Breaking Bad and Walking Dead this past summer. Still haven't gotten into Game of Thrones yet. Tried but think I have to concentrate a bit more watching it.
I watched the finale and taped the after show with Hunnam and Sutter. In the after show, they had the producer of the Shield and he talked about how Sutter wasn't sure if he had enough edge in the beginning to write for him on the Shield. However, I find it funny that a lot of people bitched about the Shield's finale and now you get the same kind of let down with this show. Pretty shitty track record so far. The other thing that pissed me off was how I think Sutter thinks HA now because he employs two members as part of the show (Happy and Rusty Coones). Besides that, I was pretty let down that he wouldn't even give his view on the homeless chick and some of the other symbols throughout the seasons. He referenced it by saying "the homeless girl can be whatever you want it to be." F*** that, you wrote it for a specific reason to convey to an audience. You tell me what the F*** it's supposed to be.
thank FSM that's over. i think Sutter got the level of symbolism right for the audience. i hate myself for watching the last three seasons. only redeeming thing about the last three was Smits.
Some of y'all take your TV a little bit too seriously. I thought it was a great series and had a good ending. Great story.
Inho , the Billy Jack movies of the 60s made many people want to become " bikers " . I think this show will do the same . I wonder why people emulate bad characters . I like The Americans , but wonder why I am pulling for the spys , especially when they kill innocent americans in the show . My nephew named his son Jackson and bought a Hardley . I can not agree more that some people take tv much too seriously . Weird how much of our society relates to fantasy/fiction in a real way .
Theatre got people beheaded in Elizabethan times. People have always taken narratives seriously. Fiction or not. That's why every house has a tv in it.
How I missed this show is beyond me. Definitely liking it! Should have it finished in about two weeks.
I'm on the third episode season one. Believe it's the third. They just took care of the clown that attacked the girl at the fair.
Yeah, I've already taken note of that. LOL I must say, it's funny as hell when the police comes out and finds tires flat.
While I agree his performance over the season has been very very good... His character reminds me too much of the men I grew up around. I love/hate his character.
The people behind SOA must have snorted all the TV money. They are putting out a sequel: Mayans MC. After the chickenshit-ass-bullshit way they copped out on the ending of SOA, I won't be watching. I won't even torrent that shit.
The whole show was bullshit wannabe biker jerkoff fantasy. Every one of those idiots would have been doing life in prison by the middle of the first season.
As was Breaking Bad. It was still very entertaining, which was the point of making it in the first place.
And somehow, they are planning a prequel to SOA, with some of the same actors. There isn't enough vasoline and camera filters to get those actors to look 20 years younger, tens years after it hit TV.
