So is it worth carrying on, seemed to be getting dull and repetative.

Now they've got through the Ireland bit it's back on track IMO.

Correct me if i'm wrong but are the Irish now selling AK47s to the Russians? :confused:

And I'm all out of bubblegum.
Is this good again? For some reason I completely lost interest at the very start of this season, and haven't watched it since. Though to be fair, I think I was starting to lose interest at the end of the last season.

Let's just say that the end of the season is a lot better.It ties up many loose ends while opening up some very interesting possibilities story wise.

what the, never saw this thread. Watched all 3 seasons, just finished watching the finale.. WOW, awesome.

I wonder in what direction the 4th season is gonna go.

I saw mark boom jr. the guy who plays Munson, at LAX airport walking with his cane smoking a cigarette. looked gangster as hell in person.

Like others have mentioned, this show is more for entertainment. There are some cheesy parts like the shootouts in earlier seasons with the chinese, mexicans, and blacks which make it unrealistic. The Wire is still the best show ever.

A great ending to a season with a few dodgy parts.

Brilliant finale! And another 4 seasons to go!!

I can't wait for the next....wonder if it will skip the 14 months they are banged up or will there be a prison based series? Those letters are going to stir some serious shit up for Clay and Gemma.

Surprised how much I enjoy this, parts of it are cheesy as feck and the acting leaves a lot to be desired. No where near the Wire or Sopranos but definitely good entertainment.

The whole of season 2 was just like a build up for season 3 I felt, great ending.

Although disappointed that Stall got it, I was secretly hoping for a lesbian twist involving her & the Doc

Chibs and Opie took their revenge like stone cold motherfeckers. I was literally bouncing with joy for them. I love that the season ended on such a high point but with just enough of a cliffhanger to set up next season.

I'm almost caught up on the series, got the last DVD of season 3 coming and the season 4 opener DVR'd.

I don't think the 3rd season is as good as the previous two. It's one of those shows that you kind of need to ignore the far-fetchedness of it all sometimes. But I thought season 3 and the whole Belfast thing was a little too far of a stretch to be honest.

despite a few scenes shot in Ireland and Belfast it's obvious none of the scenes there actually had any of the show's cast in it. Some of the 'Irish' accents where cringworthy too

The subtle 'Hamlet' references are interesting though. I didn't pick up on it until someone mentioned it.

It's getting good again

Shame about Juice, he was one of my favourite characters. What a way to go. So the club has a no blacks policy apparently. I'm sure early on in the first season there was a black member from one of the other chapters. I might be wrong.

It is gettin' good but.....

I'm just finding this juice stuff weak as shit to be honest, if anything him being of Hispanic descent should be a stickler (although the current deal with the Mayans seems to be tight). They are aligned with Leroy and his black biker gang for God's sake, just made little or no sense (even though they tried to cover their arses by saying it was an old rule) to me. I also think he might not be dead, I might be mistaken but it sounded to me like the branch snapped? Could be just me though.

Seems like alot of core characters could be up for the chop this season, will be interesting to see how it goes.

You're right about the branch snapping. Definitely heard it snap, now who's to say whether or not he survived. But I was proper :eek: :( at first. He's one of my favourite characters. I can see Clay voted outta the presidency and Jax staying on outta loyalty for the club. You can tell he doesn't really want to abandon the club, and put on a good show for Tara.

Same here, one of my favourites. Would be a real shame for it to end like that. I think Clay is on borrowed time myself, too much shit piling up against him.

In a season when Dexter has disappointed, Breaking Bad is finished and WIRE STILL HASN'R RISEN FROM THE DEAD AAAARGH, SOA has been a saviour. Great season so far and it's just going to get better. YES!

Yeah I'll admit to this being a guilty pleasure..... Has to be the last series by the looks of it.

I don't know whether I'm up to date on this, I'm always bloody falling behind.

It's cheesy as hell (Although it has improved considerably since season 1) but I like it.

Because some of the acting is laughable and there are more holes in the storyline than.... well something with a lot of holes in it.

Great TV for a spliff and a pack of crisps mind.

And Maggie Siff.... oh my :angel:

Great with beer too, to be fair.

It is what it is. One of the best shows out there, in my mind, although a significant step down from Wire and Breaking Bad.

I quite liked this season. I actually stopped watching altogether a bit into season 3, because it just started boring me. But then I saw that season 4 had started, so I read up on wikipedia and watched the last few episodes of season 3 so I could be a little caught up.

It's a lot more interesting this season, that's for sure.

Really. So many 'what the fecks'

So in last weeks episode, when Otto was giving his list of demands to the Fed with the leather jacket. The fed was open to everything apart from giving privileges back so some other inmate. I think that's because fed bloke knows he's basically putting this other inmate up for getting hit.

I reckon that Otto will get this inmate before he signs his big print statement, (giving up the club) and he'll make peace with Bobby and not sell out the club.

Clay's fecked though.

Bringing back Adriana adds a bit of shit to the mix too. Great show, waaaay better than last season

Its going to be very interesting to see where they go with season 5

Clays fecked, Opie is going to off him this week I'd imagine and Jax seriously wants out. There'll have to be some big twist coming.

I reckon Otto will find out that they've finally killed that porn king and make his peace rather than sell them out.

Also think the new sheriff guy is going to start working with the club.

Great thrast TV

All building up nicely for the season finale. This show has bounced back really well from last season.

Just caught back up.


I'm presuming the hit is still out on Tara? Also it is going to be interesting to see what the hell is going on with this Otto situation.
