It was ...Stahl was where the series really lost me. It was just way too much. Belfast was already pretty unbelievable (I mean it's the UK not the Wild West), but that stuff...just stupid. And even more insulting, that absolutely chicken "Oh, didn't I tell you, we just had a vote on it" to avoid bowing to their own rules. The club gets totally unbelievable as a gang. <br />I also like the scenes you mention (though Gemma is a bit white-washed by now), but they don't really excuse those stupid scenes they tend to call "plot" anymore.

Doesnt mean they cant be entertaining. <br />As much as Sutter uses violence like the dry erase board eraser at the end of the year, at least he attempts to set up a feasible reason behind the plot moving forward. <br />The DEA/FBI/ATF seem to constantly cut corners or "be dirty" particularly Stahl. That and the constant "we'll offer you a deal to sell out..." seem to be the loophole Sutter always uses. <br />At times I miss the Hamlet-like plot, but those Jax introspective journal sessions with his dad were a bit much. <br />The things this show excells at are when the club is just hanging out partying, or having "church/votes" <br />Most Gemma scenes she is pretty great in this role. <br />And one of the things I wish they did more of, the peeks into an MC, Patch Overs, the rules, their rides for charity, and the other MC specific stuff Im forgetting . <br />Also the endless chases are a guilty pleasure, even if they have a highly successful survival rate for Motor Cycle crashes. <br />Dont forget, they're just a group of Harley enthusiasts with a garage/clubhouse.

I'd be interested in reading a comparison between SoA (which I haven't seen) and that show, in particular regarding Vic Mackey's use of violence and occasionally murder to get out of jams. (My opinion is that The Shield handled it well, that there were serious consequences for Vic, though they were very delayed.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
