<p>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.</p>

SOA <br><br>
[SPOILER] that opening scene was um, great...<br><br>
Not so sure if that was Sutter's plan, still seems just a lot of chaos.<br><br>
Was it just great forsight on Jax's part to anticipate Marks' guys picking up someone in hope of luring them to the AB? <br><br>
Poor old Juice, getting some prison juice from Marilyn Manson (BTW didn't know it was him until Crucial mentioned in the other thread) <br><br>
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.<br><br>
Unless I missed it, do we know why Jax decided to turn on Marks yet? <br><br>
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] -

<p>What is the extra cost, as I have essentials + sport +HD = about $50pm</p> -

<p>[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.<br>
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]</p> -

<p>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. </p> -

<p>[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!<br><br>
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.<br><br>

<p>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.</p>

<p>I'm keen to watch it again because I thought it was pretty crap at the time, and I wonder if at a different time I'll see it as better than what it was.</p> -

<p>[spoiler]My feeling is that the whole point of this convoluted carry on is to remove all distractions of other dealings etc so that the end can concentrate on the 'family'<br>
Niners- peace<br>
Mayans -peace<br>
Pope/ Marks - wiped out<br>
Irish - gone<br>
Triad - wiped out (except Lin)<br>
Police/DA/ATF - not overly interested[/spoiler]</p> -

<p>Steven Ambroses son wrote a book to accompany the series, some of the men in it never made the series but it was a decent took. I want to watch the John Basilone episode again along with the Pelilieu one after reading the books.</p>
<p>They've been screening the sopranos right from the start and I thought it was a bit overrated when it was on the first time but I like it a lot more the second time around. Gandolfini and Edie Falco are outstanding actors and Meadow was hot as hell in the last few series.</p> -
Is it wrong to find the cartoon chicks in Batman- The Brave and the Bold hot?
-
<p>Did anyone else think that the latest episode of Walking Dead (the one that concentrated on the relationship between Abraham and Eugene) was just a bit of filler until we find out about Beth?</p>

<p>Along with Eugene Sledge's book, they also used Robert Leckie's book "Helmet for my Pillow" as source material. Worth reading it as well before watching the Pacific, if you haven't already read it.</p> -

<p>Cheers, I'll check that one out. </p> -
<p>sons</p>
<p>[spoiler]And so the seed is sown. If he talks to Unser, shit is going to fall in to place real fucking quick. If Gemma gets wind, people are going to get shot too.<br><br>
There is still the whole "shooting the pres of another charter" thing to clear up as well, which may be the surprise ending? Also he never admitted to being the rat, so maybe there is one other thing to sort out internally?[/spoiler]</p> -
<p>sons too</p>
<p>[spoiler] TBH, this episode just seemed like Sutter was going out of his way to shock. Seriously, WTF was up with that opening? The Jax v Marks stuff has actually been quite good, but I agree they really didn't do enough to make Marks the big bad and even explain why they were at war anyway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for the kid, I find the actor so unnatural (I know he's a kid but there are some kids out there that can act better than that) that I sort of gloss over which should be the key scenes in the episode.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also don't get the whole AB stuff. So these bikies rock up, shoot a couple of them, kill a couple of them, and they all do nothing (despite the fact they have a hispanic with them) because one guy who's not yet their leader says so. The too much stupid killing is starting to get to me I guess![/spoiler]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm currently watching the Bridge, I've just watched S1 and started S2, I think it's quite good, with some good performances, but I've just heard it's been cancelled which is disappointing. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the look for some good sitcoms out of the new season ones if anyone knows any?</p>
