I started watching it last summer and finished season 6 a couple months ago.
First, any idea when season 7 rolls out? I looked online and the most I could find is the scripts were in the works. Is it possible there won't be the final season until 2015?
One of the tings I like about it is it's one of those series that loves to throw you a curve, and that's why I was disappointed to have figured out Gemma was going to kill Tara a few episodes before it happened. Now, I sure didn't see the police chief getting killed in the process, so maybe it's a wash.
Great series though. Up there with Breaking Bad and Mad Men, IMO.
I love some of the cast they've added over the seaosns, like Kim Dickens (too bad there's no full frontal), Peter Weller and the guy who plays Boyd Crowder on Justified who played the traney. Dude can act.
Other than when he read his father's treatise you didn't known what was going on in there until you saw them together. If Sutter didn't come up with her character, though, I'm sure he would have found some other way to do that.
It's kind of like The Sopranos with how few original characters remain. So, am I wrong about season 7 being the last? I thought I read that somewhere, but I'd be happy to be wrong.
A prequel would be awesome.
The scene where Tig watched his daughter burned alive is something I will never forget.
That said, this was never a show I overanalyzed for story arcs or character development. It was like 24 that way. The main issue I had is the club kept shrinking. I thought more members in the club the more interesting the stories could be.
They had to get out of the rut of the early days with the locals and samcro vs. the mayans and the 1-9-ers, how many story lines can you have.
I didn't mind Ireland, I thought Abel being kidnapped was kind of lame, but I understood why they did it.
I thought the cartel stuff was hokey. I could hardly figure out who was good and who was bad and it seemed there were double and triple "agents".
I don't mind the show ending at all and certainly think it's time, but no one confuses SOA with Breaking Bad.
way too much gemma.
I enjoy the show, but it has run its course and needs to be closed out. However, I would love to see a prequel focusing on the original 9.
