Thread: All Things:Sons of Anarchy

I knew it...I called it...so why am I so ****ing heartsick right now?

man...that was not a throwaway death. Sutter has taken **** for having the boys escape consequence...well that ****'s out the window now. In 3 episodes we have had 2 of the most scarring deaths. There is no happyfuntime to be had here anymore. Don't know how many of you are James Caan ROLLERBALL fans but I would reckon that Sutter has seen it once or twice cause that was Moonpie all over again for me. I am so horribly sad right now...that's some damned good television. **** YOU EMMYS.

Sons of Anarchy recap: Laying Pipe forces Jax to make an impossible choice

Kurt Sutter, you clever bastard.

Right when the networks are in the midst of launching and returning their big guns, "Sons of Anarchy" unleashes an episode designed to dominate TV chatter. Whether you loved, hated or were simply heartbroken by "Laying Pipe," it's not an episode you're going to forget. Or stop talking about for weeks to come.

If the amount of times someone says "Did you see 'Sons of Anarchy' last night?! Holy crap!" is one valid way to judge a showrunner's success, Sutter should be feeling pretty damn accomplished tomorrow.

Sutter has taken his knocks for not letting us properly feel the life and death stakes of SAMCRO's criminal activity. We've had a few casualties here and there (last season's murder of Piney the most significant), but for the most part the club has always managed to keep on ticking even when their rivals on both sides of the law aren't so lucky. Last season felt like a 14-episode arc inevitably building to the death of Clay Morrow until that deus ex CIA in the finale saved his skin.

Tonight, SAMCRO wasn't so lucky.

If you went into the episode blissfully unaware of the Twitter declarations that something seriously majorly crazy big was gonna go down, I don't know how you ever would've seen it coming. Even when Damon Pope told Jax that one of the Sons needed to die as payback for the dead cop and One-Niner, anyone familiar with how "Sons" works would probably expect Jax to find some clever way out of the situation. Sure, Pope had the solitary guard on his side (and what a marvelously sleazy portrayal of soulless corruption character actor Jack Conley brought to that role), but there had to be another twist coming. Right

Yeah. All it took to win back the jumpersOff was to break all of our hearts. Damn.

'Sons of Anarchy': Find out who died | PopWatch | EW.com

The fact that fans are talking about sobbing and feeling as though they were going to vomit means the loss mattered. That’s what you want from a good show. That’s a drama in its fifth season having the power — and the balls — to destroy you in an epic way. When a turn was earned, you mourn the death of the character and celebrate the life in the show. As Pope said, the pain will take Jax to a new level. It had to cut that deep.

Dude.

Oh man you would hit the nail on the head with the Moonpie scene! I will tell how how bad this was. I couldn't sleep - this hit me that bad! The way it went down and all and the way that Op did what he did. Made me completely sick and heartsick.

But I loved Jax's line to the guard and the look on the guards face that he knew Jax will do it.

Wow. Frackin' Sutter has the stones man.

Wow, didn't know I'd be right in this. Was thinking back to last weeks episode when Opie mentioned he didn't know if he could fall in love. Thought he had a death wish. The problem with this death wish is we don't se Charles Bronson coming to the Sons rescue.
