"Sons of Anarchy"

[drew95gt]

DIdn't leave a huge cliff hanger like usual though. I heard rumblings on the internet that even though FX signed up for season 4, but Sutter was not happy with all the Corporate Direction he was getting.

They better have season 4...

NS?? Nice Shot maybe?? (Opie shooting Stahl) Thomas was Jax's brother that died when he was young.

Thanx. Found that up above after I already posted

After reflecting on last night's episode some more, I'm just thinking Unser's gonna have to do one hell of a "sales" job on where he got his "intel" from & why he pulled Stahl's car over. Since it's just a TV show... I'm sure that little detail will never get dealth with.

Also... When Clay hugged Unser... I was initially thinking that was because Jax told them he got the "pad" $$ from the PD, but now I'm wondering if it was foreshadowing of how the ending went down

Piney... If Clay &/or Gemma really did kill John, wouldn't Piney know about it, & why hasn't he ever told Jax? Especially last season, when he was railin' against Clay all Season 2

AHHHH..... Now we all get to wait and speculate! Damn soap oprah.

BTW... Any ideas what the "NS" title stood for??

"NS" was the ring that Jax placed on his father's grave.

It went with his dad's (or maybe bro's?) "SO" ring. SONS

Uncer said that he got an "anonymous" tip and that it was probably bullshit. He'll stick to that story, and it probably won't be too much of an issue because of the cross that was drawn on the window in Jimmy's blood. Remember, he's on the way out because of Hale's stunt he pulled.

I hope Jax kills Clay next season. The issue I'm having is will Tara tell Jax about the letters? Maybe she'll go to Gemma first...then Gemma and Clay will have to take care of Tara before she destroys their family and the club in the process.

No one is alive anymore that knows he pulled them over or knows about the 'intel'...he was driving along on patrol....saw it going down and got hit by the bad guys and got lucky they didn't kill him and no he didn't see who it was. Something like that will be his story.

Found this article:

At least it makes it sound like there will be a season 4 for sure.

Where did last night's gripping

Sons of Anarchy

season-ender leave our favorite motorcycle club, and what can we expect from one of our favorite shows going forward?

If you haven't read it, here's our take on the

Sons of Anarchy season three finale

. Read it and leave us comments with your thoughts. Now, let's look ahead to next year.

In a lengthy

Q&A with E! Online

, creator and show-runner Kurt Sutter talked about the changes the finale sets up for season four. Here are some notable excerpts ...

On how Jax is now going to operate differently than John did

: "Jax was finding out that John's whole life was essentially a lie and that he was going to bail on it."

"His dad was going to bail on Gemma and had this kid with this other

woman

, and ultimately that he wasn't as strong a man as Jax had envisioned him to be."

"Jax is not running away, and he is committed to Tara, and he's not looking for something outside of the life. Obviously, the decisions that he makes put him deeper into the machinations of the club. He's distanced himself from the notion of trying to change things."

"Really, in a lot of ways, he's becoming more like his mother.

On when season four will pick up

: "There will be a gap in time. I haven't decided if we'll start with them in jail and getting out or if we'll begin with them already out of jail, but we're not going to spend half a season or a season in jail. Sons is not going to become Oz."

On what Charming will look like in 14 months

: "It'll be a different Charming. There will be a new mayor and a new sheriff. The 21st century is going to land at SAMCRO's doorstep. It'll be interesting, because the 21st century will also bleed into their lives."

"The gun business will be exponentially bigger as a result of the Irish deal, so they themselves will be upgrading, but everything else around them will also be changing."

"Not that I'm thematically trying to make a big point in terms of all that, but Charming really has been Mayberry—it's been an anachronism, and in my mind, we'll start to see that shift, and how do they handle that shift. Do they try to throw the brakes on it?"

"Do they embrace it? What happens to the big fish when the pond gets bigger?"

On the club's struggling finances

: "They've had a tough run, ever since Abel was born, between legal fees and everything else, but I do think that, as Clay said to Gemma, this is an opportunity for them to finish big. We'll see that start to happen."

On whether Kozik will stick around

: "I love Kenny Johnson and I love the character, but I didn't vote him in was because I wanted to leave it up in the air a little bit. I thought it would have been too neat if they had all this conflict and then it just went away."

"Because we did spend so much time away from our core

guys

this season, next season I really want to find some great storylines for our guys. Kenny is such a great actor that I don't want to waste that on some little three-episode arc."

"If I can use him, then I really want to find a way to use him rather than have him reduced to one of the guys riding up on a

bike

.

On Happy's place in the cast

: "I say this not in a judgmental or flip way, but really in a character way, that a little Happy goes a long way. Do you know what I mean?"

"Too much Happy storyline is overwhelming. The moment he had in the torture scene where everyone is appalled and he's smiling like a four-year-old, that's all you need."

"Happy is a little bit of the sociopath, and you don't like it to get too stereotyped or clichéd. But D.L. will definitely be around. I think he'll be in 9-10 episodes next season."

On the new prospects sticking around as well

: "They're so unlikely in terms of this club! It's my experience that the more time I spend with the guys in this world, that actually it's the guys that never fit in that are the guys that are pledging clubs."

"That's why I love those two actors. They're funny without having to do much with them, and I imagine they'll be back ... we'll wait to have that play out."

On adding new gangs

: "I don't know if we'll do any more MCs next year, but on The Shield every couple of seasons we would get bored with our clubs and gangs, and we'd introduce new ones, but I think some that we've introduced will come back."

On Lenny the Pimp

: "Lenny was part of the First

Nine

; I think we talk about it in the iPad app - we have a whole thing coming out on the First Nine. The only ones still living are Clay (Ron Perlman), Piney (William Lucking) and Lenny."

On whether Tara is having a boy or not

: "Uh ... I haven't decided on that, but I'll say this: It is the

Sons of Anarchy

."

On Trinity's role

: "I don't know if it will be next season, but I think that at some point, perhaps, as the mythology continues to unfold, I think there might be an opportunity to bring her back. She was so much fun, and I thought Zoe did a great job."

On more Jax-Tara backstory

: "We're not going to do flashbacks, but if there's a way to get out that information, like we did in season one with Stahl, in a way that makes sense and moves the story along whether it's narrative or just character, then yeah, I'm always hoping to reveal some of the mythology, I just don't know off-hand what that might mean in terms of season four."

I guess I missed that Lenny was an Orig Nine.

Interesting comments about Jax. Makes it sound like he'll stay. Maybe change from within.

Unser will be fine. As CattaniAFJ said, it was a BS Anonymous tip. And then Kozik gave him a shiner to show he was "overtaken". besides. he's a stage 3 cancer so he doesn't have much left. Plus Sanwa Sheriffs are taking over thanks to Hale so he is out of a job anyways, hence the boxes in his office.

No one is alive anymore that knows he pulled them over or knows about the 'intel'...he was driving along on patrol....saw it going down and got hit by the bad guys and got lucky they didn't kill him and no he didn't see who it was. Something like that will be his story.

Eh, the agents in the other car knew about it.

Well, except for them my plan is flawless.

"NS" was the ring that Jax placed on his father's grave.

It went with his dad's (or maybe bro's?) "SO" ring. SONS

Excellent observation... Kudos!

Which ties in with something else I was wondering... Why did Jax put his NS ring before the SO one? Why not put them in order so they read correctly??

Yes they are. The other agents she was riding with, & that were in the other car, that took off after the paddy wagon to check out if Unser was correct, after he told them he'd stay with her, when they commented they didn't want to leave her by herself

[Fonzie]

Well... I guess at least Sutter knows they're goofballs too

[Fonzie]

FYI... Just noticed my DVR was taping something, so checked the list to see what the heck it was.

Apparently the original episode of "Sons" from Season 1 is airing right now

[Fonzie]

False alarm

Just checked the actual channel/show, & it's just a rerun of last night's finale'. Not sure why the DVR info screen made it sound like it was the pilot??

[Zach]

That's not this director's style, that would be too perfect.

I am glad they do not plan on doing much of next season in prison, as the finale ended I made the comment to a friend of mine that next season they will change the name to sons of oz.

[Ron505]

This was my first season, and I really liked it. We are now going to purchase season 1 and 2, and keep our Tuesday nights for the "Sons".

Why buy it, when you can rent it. I just saw it at Family Video last week

Here's the vest if anyone feels like droppin' 3 bills

http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/407/8650/Motorcycle-Article/O-N-E--Outlaw-Motorcycle-Vest-Review.aspx

Says it has an inner pocket perfect for carrying "personal protection"

[Fonzie]

Looks like Ron Perlman's gonna be in the new Nick Cage movie, "Season of the Witch"

[BeastieSSSC]

worth watching?

[Fonzie]

worth watching?

Didn't really pay much attention to it other than seeing his face

[mhallam85]

Ill most likely be watching it..Not because of him, but because i think it will be a decent movie

Motorcycle Mama Katey Sagal wins Golden Globe for Sons of Anarchy

‘Let's face it, kids, we are the dirty-faced outlaws who no one wants in their clean white town. We are too loud, too violent, too brash,’ Sutter wrote after the show was passed over for an Emmy nomination last July, ‘We don't sing, have pretty sets, or wear retro suits. They admire us from afar, wish they could do what we do, then they pull the shades and settle for the familiar and safe.’
