Sons of Anarchy

[TwingleMum]

I must confess that I enjoy this but I only started watching recently. Peg Bundy as a biker chic... I have a question I hope someone can answer. What is the story with Donna. I know she was Op's wife but why was she killed?? Did Clay kill her?? What was the female Fed's role?? Were they trying to kill Op? Why did the old man the one on oxygen (Piney??) try to kill Clay?? Is the baby Jackson and Tara's?? Thanks to catching me up

The Fed lady set Opi up in the first movie to look like a rat and then let him go hoping he would get scared and rat anyway. He talked with the club and thought he was okay, but Clay and Tig did not believe him because the Feds put wires in his phone and truck. Clay and Tig decided alone to kill Opi. Unfortunately, Donna took Opi's truck and was shot by accident just when the police Chief told Clay that the Feds has set Opi up to look like a rat. Tig shot Donna. Jax and Piney found out (Piney is Opi's dad) and they were hoping to change the club so that it would no longer be involved in violent illegal stuff. Piney tried to kill Clay because he 1) hopes Jax will take over 2) was afraid Opi would do it and get killed. The baby is with another woman from season one, she was a drug addict who Jemma scared away.

Rent season one, its worth it! I love this show.

Clay and Tig were convinced Opie was the rat to the female fed so they put an order out to have him killed and have it look like the 9ers did it. Donna took Opie's car however and Tig killed her by accident.

The current plot is a rift between the gang. Clay, Tig, Opie (doesn't know Clay put the hit out on him), and Happy on one side; and Jax leads everyone else on the other side. The baby is not Jax and Tara's, but the mom was a coke'd out and is no longer on the show i presume.

Glad to see there are 3 other people who enjoy this show. It's my absolute favorite. Last year was good but this year has been amazing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that enough people are watching so that it will be back next year.

Or better yet, buy it and watch it over and over to your little ol' hearts desire. Yes, it is on my Chirstmas list. DH is buying me this and I am getting him Castle.

Thanks so much this explains alot.

DF and I watch this together every week. I think that this season has been the best with Jemma's story line. It is so terrible, but really brings her character to life

 

[TheBigBadWolf]

The mother of the baby is played by Drea de Matteo (Adriana on the Sopranos). She is currently doing a stint on Desperate Housewives. I'm sure she'll be back on Sons of Anarchy to cause trouble next season after her Desperate Housewives role is over.

I really like this show, too. Last season my DH watched it, but I had no interest. Towards the end of the season, I realized I should have watched it because it looked really good. Thankfully our DVR tivoed it on reruns right before the 2nd season started, so I caught up. I hope they keep it on the air, too.

To expand on this.

You will see Jax reading, and Tara has read a journal that was written by Jax's dead father. His father is who founded the SOA, along with Clay. In reading it, it hints that the road the club was going down was not what he wanted and it outlines what he did want for the club. At some point and time, Jax's dad wound up dead...with hints in the first season that it wasn't by the hand that Jax and the rest of the club were lead to believe. Clay and Jemma have both made references this year about Jax "listening" or being swayed by his fathers idea's. Jemma found out that Jax had his dad's journal and was reading it in secret. Jax's copy was destroyed, but unbeknown to Jemma, Piney was intrusted with a 2nd copy. Piney gave it to Jax at Donna's funeral.

I kinda picked up on this and it seemed that they were hinting that Jemma and Clay had something to do with Jax father's death.

I have a confession that might be a little bloodthirsty ~ I want Sobel to die painfully by Jemma's hand. And his *@#*# daughter too.

 

[Crystal0608]

I LOVE this show! I agree, you need to rent season one to try to figure out all of what's going on.

 

[jen0610]

I love both Chibs and Opie.

Chibs - Tommy Flanagan - I have loved since Braveheart. Didn't take me long to spot him in Gladiator, Alien vs Predator, or Smoking Aces.

Opie - Ryan Hurst - Loved him in Remember the Titans and We were Soldiers.

I love this show! It reminds me of the Sopranos but so much better. Since CBS took my favorite, The Unit off, there is really nothing I watch so I was glad to find this. I just started watching this season though. A repeat was on from last season and I watched the last half and liked it right away, then saw the commerical for season two starting up a couple weeks later. I really need to rent the first season to catch up. I can't wait to see what happens with Sobel and his daughter!

 

[SalandJeff]

I just found this show this season also. Love it! Thanks for catching me up. So we don't know how Jax father died?

 

[phillmolly]

Jemma told Jax last week that his father killed himself. He couldn't handle the death of Jax's brother.

IMO its currently the BEST show on TV. im sure some will not agree, but its getting better and better each episode. I am so excited to see what they will do with this series, i have seen every episode since the beginning and cant wait for more ! I Think it will last a while because i hear its their best rated show on FX !! as a side note, has anyone ever heard JAX speak in real life??? i had NO IDEA he was British !! he does a VERY good job at sounding like an American Biker. it shocked me almost. i could NEVER play a BRIT and do it as good as him, not even for a minute. he i a great actor i think, i think he will do well.

 

[SalandJeff]

I totally missed Season 1 of this show (but am loving Season 2!). I would like to watch Season 1, but really don't want to buy it. I tried to rent it at Blockbuster, but they told me they don't carry it.

Any thoughts on where else it can be rented or watched?

 

[ilovejack02]

OH MY .. we love this show!!

Hubby watched it last year, and I was not interested one bit.
I saw the first episode this year, Jax got out shower and I was HOOKED .

We rented the first season so I could catch up.

All of my husband's friends watch it.. we laugh that he and his best friend are going to start an MC club.
