Still waiting like a cunt for season 3 on DVD. they take the piss with the DVD release dates for this series. They're basically asking you to stream the bastard.

 

Exactly. They need to be a day or two apart, like they're starting to do on sky atlantic. I acquire TV shows the day they come out in the States (and then play then on tele via t'xbox), without adverts. I'd watch them, with adverts, if they were on tv a day or so later.

US premiere on September 11th.

 

It doesn't seem all that seem all that long ago Season 3 had finished. Bloody good it was, too.

What did you think were the plot holes?

 

Well maybe plot holes is a bit strong, more like poorly explained parts or poor writing.

 

Warning! The following content is NOT WORK SAFE. Click the Show button to reveal.

It just seemed like they side stepped what should have been a load of shit storms.

 

The whole gang going to Ireland... they were on bail and disappear (while breaking Gemma out too). Now for a group of mostly convicted and suspected criminals, with the ATF up their asses watching them, it just suprised me that the ATF or other agencies didnt appear to be fussed. I know Stahl knew but she was keeping that hush. No questioning of the remaining members or following up leads.

 

They also had their Bikes in Ireland, did they bring them with them? And they were happy to ride around with their yank accents with their cuts on and nobody batted an eyelid. Surely they would have been a bit more covert.

 

In the real world you would hope local police would be trying to figure out what was going on and who they were. The trail of bodies also didnt seem rouse any suspicion or make the characters more on edge. Also the blond lady who had a kid with John Teller in Ireland was supposed to be the old lady of the old guy with handle bars (maybe im wrong) but when he was killed after being found out she wasnt that fussed.

 

Jax also went from appearing to forget about his kid being missing and carry on porking the porn star or doing his normal stuff to randomly erupting and shouting about his kid. Maybe its poor acting but some level of consitency would have been nice.

 

Constant shoot outs where nobody important got hit or sometimes anybody in fact. It was A team-esque at times.

 

Other things that just annoyed me were the Doc's constantly miserable face. She only seems to have one mode and that is high strung. Also the scott after killing the Irishman spat on him... DNA? Hopefully S4 sees a follow up and not leave everything done and dusted here especially with Stahl being killed.

 

Maybe im being overly critical but after a very good season 1 &2 I was just underwhelmed by it all it was slower, they introduced a lot of sub plots and put everything in a neat little box.

I would agree to a few of them. I think part of it was the American belief that Ireland is some magical, backwater mystical island whereas we know if a bike gang was riding round causing shit the garda would be all over it.

 

Enjoyed the series myself but it wasn't great compared to 1 and 2 but I have high hopes for 4. Being a biker what I want to see is bikes, bike gangs, guns, a little bit of story and more bikes. The whole stuff about Jax's kid and his relationship with the doc bores me to be honest, its the proper characters in SAMCRO that fascinate me. The Jax/Doc/Baby shit is essential but I'm all about the chrome, baby.

The main thing that annoyed me about Season 3 was this:

Tara should have either died or no one should have. Having a dead woman under the sheet that seems to look just like Tara is a much used cliché that is very annoying. Honestly, what chances are there that a woman that looks just like Tara drives down an almost deserted road just as Salazar is losing it?

 

I want to fuck agent Stahl.

 

For some reason she looks like she smells right skanky.

Regarding season 3 I certainly think it was the weakest so far:

the whole idea of a biker gang protecting the IRA was a bit daft and I just generally felt like it really didn't go anywhere. It was almost like they came up with some of the plot lines like Abel and Tara getting kidnapped and then had a "right now how do we resolve this" thing going on rather than a planned plot. Still better than most of what is on tv but didn't grab me the way the first two seasons did.

The first to agree with me on this.

 

I don't know what it is, but I think she would be complete filth.
