Watch season 3, Bobo, and your head will explode from the inanity.

That is if the Celticized version of the show's already shitty theme song doesn't...

I've started watching this show.  It's generally pretty amazing, in that glorious FX coked-out way (Damages excluded).

I'm through season 1. I'm so glad to see that age has done little to dull the continental shelf that is Ron Perlman's brow.

Also?  Maggie Siff?  Not bad.  Not bad at all.

But that relationship is so silly and unbelievable. Just wait until you get further into the show...

And just wait until you find out her boss' deep dark secret from the past. When it was revealed I thought it was the most unintentionally funny piece of drama I had possible ever seen -- then I saw "Sucker Punch"...

Seriously, if this show were any sillier you'd think you were watching a "Passions" spin off...

Oh, yeah, Jax-Maggie Siff (I don't even know her character's name) is totally ridiculous and stupid.  A girl into biker culture leaves town to go to school.  Sure, okay.  But that same girl is also a top-of-her-class med student?  Uh, maybe.  I guess.  Then, that same girl takes her talents to the big city, but hooks up with Homicide Detective Holland "Dutch" Wagenbach who stalks her. Uh... now it's getting crazy.  So that same girl -- who's now a super intelligent doctor in the big city, mind you -- hightails it back to fumbuck, white trash NorCal? Bwaaaa?

Anyway, my comment about The Siffster was mainly that I think she's very pretty in this show. I don't really care about her storyline or acting ability.

The worse part of not getting an emmy nod. katey [segal] promised me a threesome if she won. now i have to settle for me, her and the shaved bunny. Best part of not getting an emmy nod. now i don't have to pretend i give a shit about the profiteering douchebag academy ...  because you know if we were nominated i'd be all humble and blowing smoke up their asses. now i can stay true to myself and just be a dick. my next blog post: HOW NETWORKS BUY EMMYS. stay tuned, it's gonna be delicious... and probably get me fired.

What a little bitch. He said the same thing last year, pretty much.

This is also funny:

Unfortunately, the blog post Sutter later linked too as proof that he was “man of his word” stopped short, with Sutter choosing instead to “drop out of all award conversation.”

Of course. Internet faux tough guy backs down like a wuss.

Further proof of Kurt Sutter's graciousness: http://www.avclub.com/articles/sons-of-anarchys-kurt-sutter-comments-on-emmy-snub,58987/

has this jackoff forgotten how comically lame the "SAMCRO in Eire" plot line really was?

Who else though he was making a sexual remark? Don't body waxing shops offer the "shaved bunny"?

Is it just me or has this show actually gotten kind of good in the 4th season? I'm mean it's still racist and homophobic as hell and the violence is still goofy, but I'm actually starting to care (a little) about what happens to the characters.

What gives?

I think it was decent enough, albeit silly, in the first two seasons. Season 3 was hilariously bad. Now it's back to being decent enough, albeit silly.

I actually thought last week's episode ("Brick") was the strongest episode the show has ever had. Now that's not saying much (if anything), but at least this season seems to building to something, whereas the previous seasons just chugged along with its silly "'Hamlet' on Harleys" pretensions... For once I'm actually curious to watch "Sons of Anarchy" just to see where it'll go... That typed, I do think the dialog the U.S. Assistant Attorney is incredibly bad. And I'm not sure what I think of the actor in that role. I liked him better in... was he the pastor in "Deadwood" (originally titled "'Cocksucker!': the TV show")?

Now watch it get really fuckin' dumb again...

To me, Ray McKinnon as the pastor in Deadwood was one of the most endearing characters on TV ever.

I don't know who else saw the last episode, so I'll avoid any major spoilers, but I'd say using a reworked version of "Strange Fruit" was a bit of a telegraphed punch via musical cue, no?

I thought so, too. I also find it fatally distracting that I'm hearing one of the main stars of the show sing a non-diegetic song.

This whole business with of Juice (especially the bit with the missing coke) and Tara all of a sudden deciding she's not down with an "old lady" has veered this season safely back into hot mess territory. Which is where it's always been the most comfortable. The ham-fisted appropriation of a song about lynching was the perfect follow up to the acoustic version of "Fortunate Son" as background to the killing of Reyes' son from season 1 (?).

Can't wait for the next episode!
