Just spent the last 3 months watching SOA from season 1 and just finished season 5 right now. Pretty much watched 2 episodes a night. I intentionally stayed out of this thread for the risk of reading spoilers. If you dont want any spoilers stop reading this post.
What a brutal and disturbing tv show is. From season 1 blow torching that guys tattoos off to the absolute bloodbath that season 5 was. Tigs daughter getting burnt alive, Opie dying was by far the saddest lowest point of the whole series, the snow globe beating, otto bighting his tongue off, jax slamming the mexicans face into the bowl of nails. Absolutely brutal. Never seen anything like this ever.
To my amazement i predicted most things the way they panned out in season 5, always knew jax would take out pope and befriend his 2nd in charge. Knew they would use clays gun to frame him, clay will get killed in prison, someone will take up the $5m bounty. I knew they wouldnt kill Juice, knew jax wouldnt give Tig up. I amaze myself sometimes.
Tig is turning out to be my favourite character now that opie is dead. He is just so f**ked up and crazy, I pissed myself in season 4 when he freaked out over those porcelain dolls. He is also into trannies, loves to kill, f**k dead chicks etc etc and has a really soft spot for dogs. Also had to laugh when Tig and that other SGT at Arms were having their tiff about him getting patched in, only to later find out that their tiff wasnt over a woman but a dog.
Will be interesting who the next VP will be now that bobby cut his patch off. I reckon Chibbs will move to VP with Tig going back to Sgt At Arms.
This show is absolutely epic. They have contracts for atleast another 3 seasons.
