I hate to admit it, but I enjoy "Sons of Anarchy".

I don't think it really lionizes criminals as they come across to me as drug and sex addled losers who only know how to make a living through illegal means. I guess, if nothing else, watching the show makes me feel better about myself.

I could have dealt with him getting shot or blown up. But something about being beaten to death REALLY bothered me.

to go out, I will miss him. So far this show has killed off my favorite two Sons, Op and Piney....

and I really mean the LAST PERSON. I still do not know what made me rent those dvds, but damn if I'm not addicted now. It is a great show, well acted and this season has been pretty incredible--already. There's a thread in tvchat you can check out.

I noticed that the SOA love displaying patriotic symbols. Is this something that's just unique to the show, or are biker gangs really this nationalistic?

...many have compared the plot line to "Hamlet," but with bikers.

The show although not really realistic does a tremendous job of making ever second of air time count.

It's been renewed for two more seasons (so it will run through a seventh season)!
