The best is the ridiculous amount of devotion to naming each other the characters. My ol' man showed up in sneakers on his bike the other day rockin' his Jax look. I didn't even think the boots left his feet. LOL, doesn't get any better than intelligent writing, great casting and the extra kick of violence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-21912778531055304042009-11-10T12:37:08.129-05:002009-11-10T12:37:08.129-05:00YAY SONS OF ANARCHY

I recently watched all 21 episodes of the 'final season' on DVD over a span of 6 days and I'm convinced it's the greatest season in the history of televised drama. It's just so brilliantly constructed and really only works if you accept the premise that Tony dies in the final scene. I was just curious about your thoughts on this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-17914751253439753562009-11-09T13:43:04.484-05:002009-11-09T13:43:04.484-05:00Yeah, I often forget about the money aspect, since...Yeah, I often forget about the money aspect, since I watched the first season as it happened and then ran to Hollywood Video to rewatch it before this season started.

Ever since the fleeting glance of Welliver in the previews from last week's episode I've been going crazy thinking about about how good this could really be. And Deadwood fans know from his initial appearance on that show what a badass he can be.<br /><br />One can only hope that, with Sutter already giving us Dayton Callie and Titus Welliver, the next logical step is to find a way to make Ian McShane the big bad next season.<br /><br />Such a great show. You mention FX being conservative, but I seem to remember SOA being renewed about five episodes in last season, so could the delay mean that they're either haggling with Sutter and co. or planning a multi-season renewal?Hatfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184680741873873714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-34588027228352093722009-11-09T11:25:08.777-05:002009-11-09T11:25:08.777-05:00I am looking forward to a longer SOA episode tomor...I am looking forward to a longer SOA episode tomorrow night, especially with Titus Welliver appearing. This season has had a copious amount of quality and impact with the viewer. Kurt Sutter has done a fantastic job this season. The actor's have been phenomenal. The only other show that competes for my attention this much is Mad Men. Alan, I look forward to your more thorough review after tomorrow night's episode.JanieJonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-64755813944912044272009-11-09T11:11:23.402-05:002009-11-09T11:11:23.402-05:00Thanks for continuing to spread the good word on S...Thanks for continuing to spread the good word on SOA, Alan I try to, in my small way, and I think I was able to bring a new prospect into the fold on Friday night.
