I can’t wait until next season to find out what happened to Jax’s son.
Yeah, this little kidnapping has ruined the show. How ridiculous.
lol, something that happened in the last few minutes of the last episode of last season ‘ruined the show’? Now thats ridiculous.
the kidnapping was an excellent climax to the season!
Able being kidnapped just roped in all of the viewers from last season…. i know myself and all of my friends who watch will be gathered round the television come september!!!
I agree with Bah on that point point. I had decided that they’d gotten silly with the plot contrivances, but now they’ve gone and cast quality acting legend Holbrook so–damnit–it looks like I’m back in the fold after all.
I don’t think the kidnapping has ruined the show….yet. If they drag it on it will. They need to resolve it within the first three episodes
I think the kidnapping showed they are running out of ways to keep the show interesting. We will find out in the first few episodes of the season.
Oh, this is gonna be good.
Fantastic news!
SoA is the BEST! Can’t wait ’til next season!
Counting the days…LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!
i am on edge waiting for S3!
poor jax, gemma on the run, abel..omg..biting my nails on edge!
This should help get the show the attention it deserves!
I’m a huge fan of Kurt Sutter and can’t
wait to see how this storyline plays out!!!
I can hardly wait to see a biker version of Hal Holbrook, wearing tats all over his wrinkly arms. I guess they couldn’t land Abe Vigoda?
Wasn’t Gemma raised in a traditional/religious home? I could be wrong, but it seems like I remember that being mentioned before.
yes she was and she ran away to be with jax’s father and the club, i dont think hal holbrook will be a tattooed biker
Seems like once you are in then it is hard to wait for the next season, SOA is a must see keep the characters real to what a bikers life is like, and the family aspect, great job.
Hal so deserved that Oscar for Into the Wild.
Yes, Javier Bardem (sp?) was really a lead in No Country for Old men. I hateit when the leads list themselves as “Supporting” to get the prize. Hal Holbrook had a true supporting role, and was amazing.
Amen to that!
You have to remember that Gemma rebeled against her family so her dad won’t have any tat’s. Definately looking forward to the new season.
LOVE THAT SHOW! I cant wait for it to start up again.
The only bad thing about SoA is having to wait until Sept. Keep it real Kurt! Season 3 should be awesome.
Gonna be a Show…down!
THANKS FOR ALL THE UPDATES!!
Love Hal and Katie! Should be great TV seeing them as Father/daughter.
Seeing Gemma leaving town with Unser makes me wonder if she is going to visit her dad(Hal Holbrook).He raised her in a Christian home and she HAS been frequenting church services lately. Hmmm….
