Sons of Anarchy
Okay, so I started watching Sons of Anarchy last night because nokomis305 has been squeeing about it at me for a ways now and my tastes normally line up with hers. So last night we watched the first three eps together and I've got to admit that I'm fairly pleased with what I saw.
nokomis305 emailed me about what I thought of it this morning and I typed up the following right quick for her, and I thought, what the hey, why not share it with everyone?
My impressions so far are:
1. These boys believe they have impunity from everything, which makes them do really stupid things.
2. They need to realize that they aren't invincible and become smarter, craftier criminals. I like smart criminals.
3. They are a family in the same way that the mob is a family.
4. Something is rotten about Gemma and Clay's relationship.
5. Wendy (is that her name) is a junky and a bitch. I want her to go away
6. Tara is also a bitch, but I get the vibe that she really loved Jax and didn't want to leave him, but didn't want to be part of his family because they were criminals, and stupid criminals at that.
7. Gibs (the guy who is working with that Mexican gang) is a slippery snake. Things won't be easy to pin on him.
8. I want Abel to live. And I want Jax to be happy.
9. Jax has/had an STD. BUT I SO DON'T CARE BECAUSE HE IS HOT.
10. Bobby is awesome.
11. Juice (is that his name) is ridics adorable and stupid. Like a basset hound puppy.
12. Tig/Tick (not sure of the name again) is NASTY. He has, like, TEN STDs.
13. The one with the Irish accent should talk more.
14. Gemma is awesome and bad ass and I love her. It's clear she's all about her family, and the club totally counts as her family. Whatever is rotten with her relationship with Clay, I'm sure she acted in the way that she thought best protected her family. Even if it was bad/wrong, it was still what *she* thought was the best choice.
15. Jax is OMG SO PRETTY.
16. The deputy is annoying as shit, but clearly committed to law and order. Or at least committed to sticking it to the club.
17. The sheriff is a tool.
18. Opie is the underdog. I am really rooting for him. I hope he gets his shit together.
19. Donna is annoying. I get her drama, I do. But she can't pay her bills. And I have no patience for that. If she doesn't want to have her husband getting money the easy way, then she needs to bust her ass, work two jobs, and get her shit taken care of.
20. Prospect is the best comic relief ever.
More thoughts to come...
Love.
