Season 4 started tonight and I didn't watch it... In fact I'm a season behind, since Netflix hasn't started streaming season 3, I got directed to a website that has all of season 3 posted so I'm spending this week catching up in hopes that I can watch next week's episode.
I love this show! Man, I can't believe that no one else is watching.

Since I just bumped the what shows are you watching thread since I just got done watching the premiere of season 4 for SOA, I'll just repost my post in this thread. I honestly didn't think many members of this forum watch SOA judging from the limited interest in the shows thread, but I've been watching since the first season. Either way, here's my post from the other thread, and I've whited out the spoilers since apparently you're not caught up.
I've always loved the show but I feel like the first episode of season 4 wasn't as great as the ending to season 3. I guess it's just because I really enjoyed seeing Agent Stahl and Jimmy meet their makers in a brilliant plan and then saw what the future held with the letters from Jax's dad to Maureen Ashby. And I hoped to see a little more of the life in prison aspect for the 14 months the SOA members were inside.
Either way the end to the episode was semi-suprising, I didn't expect to see them kill all the Russians like that, even though you could tell that's where it was headed from the discussions at the clubhouse. It does feel like the same problems are recurring again, what with the AUSDA guy trying to bring down the club on RICO charges, a hostile sheriff in town, and forces beyond their control that are just as smart as the club is. It'll be interesting to see what direction the show is headed. Personally I don't think Jax's plan to get him and his family out of the club will work without bloodshed of some kind occuring. I also felt like I could see some foreshadowing of the club's demise occuring, but with the twists in the plots of today's television we'll probably never know until it happens.

Haha, thanks mooby.
I just find it surprising that not more people like it. I don't even like motorcycles or motorcycle gangs or anything but its terribly easy for me to understand and feel for the characters and really understanding the gang itself and the tear between how Jax wants the club to be based around brotherhood and Clay making the club turn towards racketeering. Ahhhh. It's so good.

SOA is pretty popular. A fair amount around these parts too.

Who else noticed that the new sheriff and the cop tailing the soa in the midst of the show looked very similar? N the tailing cop reminded me of xerces from 300 like nobody's business.

It is a good show but not really my cup of tea

I dig the fact that casting comes from shows like Deadwood and The Shield. On point, for sure.
Going to be interesting this season, as Jax has made up his mind.

I thought the first show was awesome. Hints of some pretty good stuff to come in season 4!

Got it DVR'd. I never finished season 3. Was also waiting for Netflix to stream that season. I'll watch it when I get home.
