Sons of Anarchy
 

I really don't watch much TV, but I recalled the Sons of Anarchy thread that was here a while ago and tracked down the first season. I gotta say that's some of the best damn TV I've seen in a long time. You guys were right. I watched the entire first season today just about straight through, aside from a 2 hour break for some road hockey when the sun came out. Hell of a show though, if you got a rainy day to burn off and never seen it, check it out.

TV sucks!

You should watch Breaking Bad, that show is the SHIIITTTT

Yeah I'm not the biggest tv fan either but I'd recommend Breaking Bad and The Wire both.

Breaking Bad has actually been on my TV guilty pleasure list for a while. Weeds never did it for me, but BB is great. I occasionally tune in for House. Kind of disappointed that Heroes got canceled actually. Excited about the new season of Eastbound and Down, and patiently waiting for Walking Dead. That's about it for me on the tv end of things.

Never seen it but heard that its good, i refuse to take on more TV though lol
Already working 70 hour weeks

Love these though
Dexter, boardwalk Emp, Stargate SG-U,

Dexter was another one I didn't really get. Everyone seems to lov eit, but I dunno. Maybe I gotta watch from the beginning.

and it only gets better after the first season...

it gets worse after the 1st season, much much worse.

:2 cents::2 cents::thumbsup:thumbsup

SOA is so not my type of thing, but I gave it a shot and it rocked. Been watching it ever since.

Second season is a bit av-.

Why's that?

Is not the story of baddog and his biker tales entertaining?

several things-

1. every episode includes an soa member doing something incredibly stupid, like keystone cops/3 stooges stupid.

2. not enough biker action

3. too much like a daytime soap opera

4. inaccurate portrayal of how outlaw biker outfits run

SOA is great

things I think are missing, but It's a pretty close protrayal, they have 81's on the set to make sure

there weren't any 81s on set when i was on set 1st season

even so, they violate some major patch rules.

not trying to act like i'm a member or an expert, but they break a lot of patch rules

Such as?

I really wanted to like SoA, but the writing and acting just aren't there. I like it ok though and will watch it. Now, Breaking Bad, that's the shit right there.

Perhaps baddog could chime in with some points of clarification on that.

sorry, working, making the monies.

well, for one they wear their colors in cars, major rule violation for many clubs.

tons of clubs out there with rules of their own, just going by the h a rules i'm familiar with from back in the day when i rode with some of those cats

clearly destroys the plot of the entire story, i will quit watching now due to this incredible inaccuracy in the portrayal of the outlaw biker lifestyle...

SOA is awesome, the one thing I didn't expect to see them do is wear helmets (badass bikers etc).. I thought that in those parts of the states CA/AZ etc helmets weren't mandatory?

A lot depends on what they can do if they have 3 patches compared to two. They don't wear their colors all the time, but there was someone they have been using from the 81's for reference.
Being around them, you know you just can't put on colors without their permission

watching one episode somewhere in the middle would be a little off putting.. i only started watching it last season, but it was from the beginning so you get hooked from there really..

i need to watch the first few now though.

it was 1 of 4 things that i mentioned, you seemed to have missed that post.

either way, i couldn't give 2 shits what you spend your time watching.

feel free to watch keystone cops on bikes, buy the dvds, hell i'll put my limited print soa t-shirt up on ebay and you can bid on it. whoopie.

I liked the second season, I've watched the first 3 episodes of this season too. I don't give a flying fuck if it's inaccurate. It's entertaining.

peeps are free to watch whatthefuckever they want to watch. i simply posted my opinion as a biker/television watcher.

I think you just stated the point. Who is going to tll the Mongols, Pagans, Bandidos, etc.. that there are rules to the placement of their patches or etiquite of wearing their colors?

Rubicon and Mad Men are both pretty good too.

:thumbsup i see you are a h-d fan, what do you ride eh?

97 Electra Guide Classic

right on eh. :thumbsup i've been thinking of putting a bagger in the stable.

I did a little reading, president of the NYC chapter of the Hells Angel's is sueing FX over the show.

backstory?

i figured it was along those lines, there was another one too, hbo was developing a similar show, not sure if it's the same.

Perfect for the amount of miles i put on the road.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Check out the comments on the tmz story, rippin the guy.

i always get a kikc outta the online dudes sayin they're the real biker, pointing their finger at those they think are not.

:upsidedow


:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

They lost me when a supposed biker could not recognize a '65 from 10' away.

whoa whoa whoa, easy sparky. i downloaded that shit. let's just forget about that whole "buying" deal... :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Can't watch Sons of Anarchy, any shows on FX, or National Geographic if you have DISH network - they are possibly going to lose ALL fox stations within a month as well. Drop me a line on ICQ if you have DISH and want DIRECTV :)

You guys weren't kidding about second season being a soap opera. That shit got so retarded, but I still enjoyed it. Catching up on season 3 now, hah.

I shall give it a shot.

Mad Men and Breaking Bad are my current favorites. Dexter is always solid.

If you liked that, search for HBO's The Wire

I'll add it to the list. Once I'm caught up with SOA I'm going to give Dexter a chance from episode one.

Edit: Just looked it up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wire, sounds interesting. Thanks.

Yea I just watched all of season 2. Show rocks. I just hope they can keep the ball rolling in season 3.
