"The crow flies straight, A perfect line..." sticks in my craw and embeds itself in there until I go to bed.

This line, and how the visual of the switchblade opening that complements it, drives me nuts for some reason too.

I have just started season three, and I thought the famous divisive author acquitted himself nicely in his cameo.

Yeah, I remember enjoying him in that cameo as well. I'm not fan of the bit of his writing I've read, but I've always liked him as a guy...

I just watched the pilot last night. They have the cleanest, newest looking leather I have ever seen. I'm sticking with it just to see Henry Rollins, but this is the dumbest show I have ever seen.

The whole first season kind of sucks. The love interest is super boring and the show grasps for a gravitas that it can't reach.

The second season is more fun, it gets trashier and Rollins/Arkin are engaging

3rd season just came on netflix and I'm excited to watch it!

Rollins is in season two, but you really should stick with it. There are some golden moments of stupid in the third season...

I'm stangely envious of you and your beginning to enter the world of the strangest and most implausible motorcycle club ever...

That just makes me lovethe show even more...

I just loved how a few of them decide to go to Belfast and, well what the fuck, let's all go. I couldn't stop thinking of when Laverne and Shirley moved from Milwaukee and the whole cast up and went as well...

The Third season had my favorite moment of the whole series thus far: The scene in wich we find out the deep dark secret of Tara's boss...

9 episodes in a row in the bag.

Those white sneakers are killing me. I also love how the only law they uphold is the helmet law - in a town that they basically run.

I love this show now - it's the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.

Don't forget the show's awesome "Hamlet" pretensions...

It really does grow on you; even as it frustrates you. I was so pissed off afterthe finale to this last season, yet I really cannot wait for season five.

I just cannot get the scene of SAMCRO with RPG's out of my mind...

I enjoy how Sons of Anarchy is set in a universe where people are either in motorcycle gangs or they're not. And motorcycle gangs -- sorry, MCs -- are even better at franchising than McDonald's! Oh, if only Clay and JT had put their minds to handburgers rather than gun-running.

And yeah, the Chief Lady Doctor being a former old lady is amazing. Almost as "amazing" as Katy Sagal's singing. I love how Sutter shoe-horns those songs in as yet another source of residual income for his little fiefdom.

If I tried, I could probably make at least six figures for shaking my moneymaker.

Yeah, her rendition of "Son of a Preacher Man" was great. My favorite was still their use of the cover of "Strange Fruit". It's like Sutter doesn't give a shit as to what these songs are actually about...

I also wonder if the cover for the astonishingly misused song "House of the Rising Sun" was performed by Ron Perlman. At points it sure sounds like it could be him...

A question for all: Do you think Sutter gets the camp value of the show or do you think he's crafting something meaningful?

SPOILER ALERT!
     As I've typed before, when I got to the lady doctor scene I really did yell "WHAT!?! OH, C"MON!"
     And Danny Trejo being a g-man... I'm still pissed about that. Just when the show seemed like something was actually going to happen... Goddammit...

Re: Sutter

I don't think he gets it at all. He thinks this is high-art. On his Twitter feed rantings, he often cries about the lack of award nominations and once compared Sons's quality to...gasp...Breaking Bad. His cut is on way too tight and is cutting off the air to his brain.
