Why had no one mentioned that the show has someone who looks like that in it? I have yet to watch an episode .

has plenty of eye candy in it, gotta have something to make up for the largely repetitive storylines!

Tim

The Game (BBC America) was pretty average.

Season Two is a bit meh due to Network Exec interference (they wanted the show more teen and soapy), but after that, the res of the seasons are as strong as the first.

From what I've read this is not strictly true, the show runners actually had most of the ideas and the absolute worst one of S2 was originally a S1 story that they put off.
 
Great show, even though S2 is a dip some of the later eps in that season have some great scenes etc.

Tim

The first episode of Rick & Morty was rather average. The rest of the season is great. The repeated piss taking of Inception is a joy.

SOA
[spoiler]finally! 
Took a fair while to get here and a hell of a lot of carnage, but I guess that was Sutter's point, all the chaos and death that stems from evil Gemma. 
Good to see the crew all finding love of various kinds and the subsidiary stuff (aprt from Lin) all cleaned up. 
So the end game will revolve around Jax dealing with Gemma and Lin. Poor Nero caught in the middle of it and whether Jax stays with the club or rides into the sunset (unless gunned down by his own)[/spoiler]

JK

For some reason SOA in NZ is taking a week off.....
 
Might have to watch online to tonight if are gonna be further behind

Crucial

I read a couple of weeks back that the death toll from Gemma's 'little lie' was up to 60. That was by the end of episode 7!
 
[spoiler]I think Jax will go to Unser to try and confirm what Abel told him. He'll also now know that Juice knew so maybe he'll offer him up to Lin as 'payment'.[/spoiler]

Any of you other blokes in Aus with Foxtel cottoned on to the Box Sets channel? If not, don't, it's dangerous! Complete seasons of shows, shown one after the other. I find myself stuck watch the Sopranos, or Entourage, or even bloody Band of Brothers (which i have probably seen half a dozen times, possibly best TV show ever (fuck off Nepia, it's not The Wire)). And suddenly it's after midnight again. goddamit.

SOA 
[SPOILER] that opening scene was um, great... 
Not so sure if that was Sutter's plan, still seems just a lot of chaos. 
Was it just great forsight on Jax's part to anticipate Marks' guys picking up someone in hope of luring them to the AB? 
Poor old Juice, getting some prison juice from Marilyn Manson (BTW didn't know it was him until Crucial mentioned in the other thread) 
I guess it must be hard to involve the kids in some of the scenes for fear of traumatising them later in life (my suggestion Damian might kill Gemma or Thomas - must be hard to get a small kid through some of the scenes already. 
Unless I missed it, do we know why Jax decided to turn on Marks yet? 
I'm still not convinced Gemma will die, I think a greater loss for her would be losing her family and friends, the things in her mind she has done everything to protect. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]In the long run the story had to have Jax take down Marks as Marks was still a threat over the club from Tig and also his suspicions about Jax killing Pope.The way they played out that part was contrived though and supposedly because Pope wouldn't allow SAMCRO to go after Lin. 
The setup with the AB wasn't explained well as until Moses turned up at the ABs place we were meant to be in the dark about the plan as well. IMO it was quite well done. Jax knew that Moses' next move would be to pressure the Niners into providing intel and set it up with Tyler. He couldn't have Rat caving in as Bobby had already shown how strong the Sons hold out against ratting so put T.O in the mix as well to be the one that told Moses about the cabin.[/spoiler]

Don't think it's extra. For some reason i have everything at the moment, must be one of those specials where they try and get you hooked on everything, and then take it away, so you'll extend your package. I have a feeling there is going to be a change, seeing as they have moved Showcase out of Movies, i might have to get another option soon. Fuckers. Try Ch116 and see if you have it.

dK

Tried CH116 and need to "enable" it via Foxtel. Will check out the Google thingy to see whats what.
 
edit* Just checked, it is part of the Drama pack and costs another $20 per month or $10 per month as a stand alone. Will skip it.

Soho have been advertising the pacific a lot , that wasn't as good from memory as bob but I'd be keen to watch it again after reading Eugene Sledges book.

[spoiler]Yeah it all seems a bit drawn out the Jax-Marks thing, given Marks and the Sons seemed on good terms, Marks seemed happy to be top-dog with Pope out of the way...the line of Marks not letting them go after Lin is weak IMO, especially when you consider the carnage and collateral damage! 
Yeah I guess on thinking the whole AB set-up was always on the cards, just when watching it, it all seemed too convenient for Jax given how things have been going for him.
