Liking these teasers.

Lupe and Fiasco? Haha...

Filthy Phil looks so out of place. More Chess club than Motorcycle club. S4 was missing on Netflix so I only saw him briefly at the end of S3. Was he a main character in S4?

I know... I think that was a lot of Chris Collins, hah.

He was around more in S4, though I wouldn't call him a main character.

I mean, no, but he and Happy are in almost every episode anyway.

Yup, that sounds about right.

 

[strafer]

I know who can play Opies brother when the time comes. ;P

Zakk Wylde man.

 

[Curtisaur]

Why is this not on Comcast's On Demand?

 

[ivysaur12]

The premiere party is on the 8th (or 9th? 8th, I believe). I'll try to post some pics on here.

[Escape Goat]

Opie has become the damn sasquatch. He used to be my fav character but he went off the rails. Now all I have are Gemma and Tara.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Holy shit, this season has an amazing guest cast. Jimmy Smits. Joel McHale. Harold Pern as the villain?

Pretty much. There are a few surprises in there, too. But yeah, the cast this season is amazing.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Don't know how I feel about this casting. I can't see him playing the bad guy. But then again, I never envisioned Anthony Anderson as a bad ass in The Shield till I saw his work. Maybe Harold will surprise me.

You ever see Oz?

His best role.

 

[strafer]

As long as Harold doesnt run around yelling JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX! JAAAAAAAAAX! Im happy.

I think he's just as sick of that as you are.

Only two weeks until the S5 premiere. The S4 dvd/blu-rays are out today, as well.

Watched the season 3 finale to hype myself up.

This is what she felt...*ratatatata*

Brilliance.

Plus the Jameson juice box! Great episode.

They're re-airing the tail end of S4 the next couple weeks, so I'll watch a couple of those to remember where things stand.

- Before the Anarchy: Juice

Spend time on the set with Theo Rossi ("Juice") as he gets into character and takes you behind the scenes with cast and crew for a look at SOA Season 5.

Pretty funny video.

 

[strafer]

Juice is awesome.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Juice is awesome.

His suicide scene was comedic genius.

Good stuff. Cracked up at the 2:30 mark when they make fun of Charlie Hunnam doing pushups: "usually there's a man under him"

Why spoiler tag that? It's the most generic and obvious episode description ever.

Yeah, that was the best bit.

Why spoiler tag that? It's the most generic and obvious episode description ever.

A lot of them give a fair bit away, and it's better to have a consistent policy of always spoiler tagging them regardless of content. That way everyone knows what to expect and can decide if they want to read the loglines.

 

[inm8num2]

No other show has such a compelling ensemble of characters. I cannot wait for season 5.

*cough*Breaking Bad*cough*

This is a close 2nd though.

 

[Dominican Power]

Does Tara know that Gemma was also responsible for John Teller's death?

?

 

[Cornballer]

I'm rewatching a few episodes before the premiere next week. Figure I'll burn through the last four of S4 as a refresher.

Does Tara know that Gemma was also responsible for John Teller's death?

I honestly can't remember how much she knows. Needless to say there will be a 4-5 minute "previously on SoA" segment before the premiere that lays it all out.

 

[sleeprockss]

*cough*Breaking Bad*cough*

This is a close 2nd though.

The only characters in Breaking bad that really stand out are Walt, Jesse, Hank, Gus and Mike.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

that's almost everybody!

 

[sleeprockss]

that's almost everybody!

Yeah but compared to Sons of Anarchy it's not that much

 

[inm8num2]

The only characters in Breaking bad that really stand out are Walt, Jesse, Hank, Gus and Mike.

Exactly (plus Saul). SoA at one point had:

Jax
Tara
Clay
Gemma
Tig
Opie
Piney
Bobby
Juice
Chibs
Happy
Chucky
Unser
Potter
Kozik
etc.

and that list is still incomplete. SoA easily has the best ensemble, and it balances screentime and character development pretty well among the majors.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Game of Thrones is another show that balances a massive, interesting cast.

SOA is great at it as well obviously.

 

[inm8num2]

GoT is another great ensemble, but to be honest I can't help but feel that much of the character development is rushed due to the necessity of covering so much information from the books.

SoA, while not perfect, feels more natural and moderately paced in its character development.

I love all these shows - BB, SoA, GoT, etc. SoA may not be the best but for me its the most entertaining.

Have you thought on a cool subtitle?

I don't usually use subtitles. There's never enough room in the title block and no matter what you write someone's always going to complain about it.

Kurt Sutter's biker drama Sons of Anarchy will kick off its fifth season with a 90-minute episode on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 10 p.m.

We're getting an extra-long premiere next week.

Awesome CB - reading your TV OTs helps me out during real boring days at work, lol. Still have to re-watch Seasons 3 and 4 that I bought on Blu, though.

 

[inm8num2]

We're getting an extra-long premiere next week.

58 min of show, 32 min of commercials.

*high five* Good to see you, man.

58 min of show, 32 min of commercials.

Good point - they've pulled that one in the past. I watched a rerun of "Call of Duty" from S4 last night (90 min episode) and there were a ton of commercials. It doesn't bother me too much when watching off of the DVR, but it gets a little silly when viewing it live.

 

[Entropia]

I'm going to have to re-watch Season 4 this week.

 

[tedtropy]

Been meaning to get into this show and finally started the first season via Netflix yesterday. Kicked back on the couch and before I knew it, was five episodes in. Seems like it will work well to pass the time until Boardwalk Empire is back on.
