Yep! SOA likes guest stars from lots of other good shows.<br />
<br />
I was enjoying this season immensely until about mid season when Sutter decided that he was going to forget the characterisations from the previous 5 or so episodes and 4 series.<br />
<br />
Still looking forward to seeing how it plays out tonight though. -

Isn't that the storyline though? Jax is now in a position to possibly get away from the life but finds that in order to do so he has to become something he doesn't want to be. [spoiler]<br />
<br />
Opie's death has changed his views and the club itself is barely holding together as they get into more and more of a tangle.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The only character that I either can't work out or has just been messed up<br />
<br />
too much is Juice. His storyline last season was a low point plot driver but<br />
<br />
this season he is even worse. I have a feeling he may play a part in tonights<br />
<br />
outcomes though as he seems to be being set up by Clay (possibly as a plan to<br />
<br />
save Tig)<br />

I haven't believed it though, I don't think they did it well enough IMHO (and after all it's [i]jus[/i]t my opinion). Jax seems more like a whiny little girl than a biker. -
I have edited Crucials post and added the possible spoiler into the spolier part....<br />
<br />
Yeah the Juice bit is odd alright, am also a wee confused about Bobby<br />
<br />
[spoiler]Very much on Jax's side, and then all of a sudden, gives Clay a repreive.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I guess thats always been the thing about Jax, his, um, depth of character (due to his father's morals?) has always meant he just didnt quite fit, although every now and then he shows how badd ass he is.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Tara is the one, her life has gone down hill big time, and you can see her heading toward Gemma territory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I was disappointed when they killed off OP, was one of my fave characters, not least because he was more believable in the role too.[/spoiler] -
Wow. Sutter pushing the boundaries of TV in that finale. He must love thinking up those cameos as Otto.<br />
<br />
Much better then last season's finale anyway.<br />
<br />
The series has one more season confirmed but reports are that Sutter's plans are to go to 7. I guess he'll need to tie that up before planning Season 6 as the story arc is placed well enough at presnt to finish next time around. I get the feeling two more will need padding out with unnecessary storyline. -

Finale saved the season for me. Just awesome TV, when the twist happened I was cheering (in the shed) -
Was a pretty good finale!<br />
<br />
Am a bit over Clay though...<br />
<br />
[spoiler]Knew Jax was up to something with Pope, never quite believed he'd hand over Tig to the man who got OP killed.<br />
<br />
Clay has gone from being a bit cliched to someone you almost feel sorry for.<br />
<br />
As for Tara, well, as I said, her world has gone from rosie to Gemmas world...not quite sure why she didnt just wear the cross in and then give it to Otto, that way, when he did what he did she could say he tore it off her.<br />
<br />
As for Otto, what a crazy mofo! [/spoiler] -

My thoughts on the finale!<br />
<br />
[spoiler]<br />
Was a nice twist by Jax to save Tig, but all a bit to convenient and obvious as Popes 2IC noted. Yet was happy enough to just let it ride.<br />
<br />
I don't understand the Tara thing, if Gemma set her up then she would have had to admit she was involved as well and they would both be going down. Jax who was ready to disown Gemma for getting wasted and nearly killing his kids now has forgiven her. Why?? Is he that needy?? It just did not work to me the plot holes were to big it and felt forced.<br />
<br />
Also Juice is now the worst character he is just a snivelling whelp. He used to be pretty cool. I am getting to the point where I just want to know how it ends and can't be bothered to watch it to find out.<br />
<br />
As an aside it feels like they kill 10 people an episode these days and its not a big deal, in the earlier episodes it felt like a rarity and was kind of shocking. I think they need to get away from just violence for the sake of it as it makes things a bit harder to believe. I mean all these killings by all these known felons and the police don't find a single piece of DNA to link them. Its just going to far.<br />

I wonder if/hope book 3 is going to be split into 2 series...<br />
<br />
Why oh why do these networks have mid-season breaks...I have ended up watching Walking Dead on TV, and am enjoying it, hopefully TVNZ 'catch up' while the US has the break given they are currently 4 weeks behind and just start screening it when the US resumes, unlikely I know...<br />
<br />
on SOA<br />
<br />
[spoiler]On Gemma, I was hoping she'd buggar off to Ireland, she, like Clay is a bit too cliched.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
ANd yeah, Jax has just accepted her back, surely Tara woulda said something to Jax about her threats.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I guess any series you need to ignore some of the plot hoiles, even if these ones seem to be getting bigger....[/spoiler] -
[size=3]Homeland Finale - knowing another series was on the cards was wondering how they would set it up. Pretty good finale, and can see where they are going in S3, but how they can make that a whole series? [/size]<br />
<br />
[size=3][spoiler]Surely they can see Brody is being set up?<br />
<br />
Although initially they were pointing you toward it being Brody with him signalling at the perfect time for Carrie to leave the room for a quick shag...but the release of the video shows someone is setting him up, unless Brody is being very tricky? I expect there would be plenty of CCTV available around that building to show someone moving Brody's car.<br />
<br />
I do wonder how Carrie thinks she'll be able to waltz back in and not have them know she didnt help Brody escape and while her intentions are to clear his name, surely the CIA wont let her see daylight again until she talks, and even then...? [/spoiler][/size] -

I think they did it pretty well considering.<br />
<br />
[spoiler] I think the perfect ending would have been when Saul was on the phone to Carrie and listening to her voicemail message. Fading to black then would have been great.<br />
<br />
On the car, it must have been moved by someone who passed security as well, so who was that person? Is there still a mole?<br />
<br />
I liked the scenes with Quinn, I thought he was a great character as he progressed throughout the show. Hopefully they bring him back next year.<br />
<br />
Next year will be interesting to see how they use Brodie, I wonder if it will be a parallel story of him on the run.<br />
[/spoiler] -
Yeah I like Quinn, you always wondered what he was upto and which side he was on...<br />
<br />
On the Brody thing...<br />
<br />
[spoiler]The fact he went to his old mate and asked him to look after his family again, is another pointer towards him doing it, but I think things are pointing that way for a reason, and I still think it is a set up.<br />
<br />
I think there is still someone leaking info, I also thought it was odd Estes was speaking to Saul when he let him go with that other agent standing at the door given the content of the conversation.<br />
<br />
[/spoiler]<br />
<br />
Certainly enjoyed the direction they took this series, given I think I, like most had my doubts over a 2nd series, if they can do that for another will be great, but am not holding my breath they have enough for a complete series with what we were left with.
