Sons of Anarchy Season 3 - DISCUSSION THREAD

[DennisP]

Great finish, made up for what I thought was a mediocre season (by SoA standards). Like rennD said, good wrap up, I was worried we didn't get that.

Very glad to see Stahl dead, character was great, but they took her too far and used her too often just for plot.

I assume that Opie and Chibs would still serve the time for the gun charges like everyone else, just get arrested later? It's not like they'll just forget their names were on the original arrests.

Remember... Opie never got arrested for the original gun charge. He had left before the Police arrived... he was following Zobel.

And it may be that Chibs was not there either... wasn't he still in the hospital?

I am kinda torn about Stahl. She is just the type of bat $hit crazy character that makes you love to hate her.

I kept thinking that the club had something up their sleeve, but didn't think the story would play out that way, without Jemma knowing about it.

You're right, totally forgot.

Can they vote on membership with only the few not in jail?

They can. Remember Kozik and Tig had a conversation about that on the "playground".

I remember the conversation about Tig not being able to vote because he can't ride (license suspended), but not on them going to jail.

Wondering if we'll see more Kozik.

No, Tig can vote, which is why Kozik isn't in now. He blocked him the two times they tried to vote him in. I wonder if we'll ever get the rest of the story about Tig's girl Missy.

I know he could, but he's also riding. They kind of dropped the whole his license is suspended thing after Kozik mentioned it.

She was his dog, don't you remember the picture he pulled out of his wallet on the porch swing, Crystal?

This season has been an excercise in going with the script for me. There were a few points where I would have written it differently, but Kurt Sutter I am not... and Thank, God!! I feel like having seen the finale, I can go back through the season with new eyes. Some of the things that left me scratching my head, might now make perfect sense. I can't wait to have an SOA marathon with my DVR.

Ok, one last time, for old time's sake... F*#@ Stahl!! I've hated her since day 1 and to see her finally dealt with makes me all warm and fuzzy. I'm glad Opie got to the be the one to pull the trigger. I feel like there was closure in that for him and it clears the way for an Opie-Layla story. Maybe, she'll make better friends.

Season 3 felt like a chess game to me. Opening moves pretty standard and unexciting. Middle game of jockeying for position and setting traps. And then.... Snap! Boom! Crash!!... wtf was that?!! Checkmate?! YES!!! I know a lot of people hated the whole baby-chasing storyline, but it introduced us to a lot of new faces, dug up some old history, and prepared the way for next season. There's a whole new array of characters to play with.

YMMV, but I think this season was absolutely brilliant. It takes a great writer to set up a picture that big and make all the pieces fit together right. Where last season's finale left me pissed off and anxious to know what happened next, this season's left me satisfied and looking forward to the next chapter. I can't wait to see what Sutter has in store up ahead. I heart Charlie Hunnam as an actor (not just because he's hot) and I wanna be Gemma when I grow up.

How many days until September?

I'm pretty certain Chibs wasn't there.
