Would have been great if they ended the show with a season just following Donal Logue taking out all of the Sons - a fitting end by having a single collateral damage death cause their eventual downfall.

Sutter would never do something like that though.

- Deadline: Jimmy Smits Back For Season 6 Of ‘Sons Of Anarchy’
Jimmy Smits is set to return to FX’s flagship drama Sons Of Anarchy, reprising his role as Neron “Nero” Padilla, a former gangbanger whose exit-strategy is trumped by his partnership with Jax (Charlie Hunnam). Smits appeared in 12 of the 13 episodes from Sons Of Anarchy‘s fifth season. He has now signed on to do all episodes from Season 6, which is shaping to be even more intense and volatile. Production begins late spring for a September premiere. Emmy winner Smits, repped by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment and Tom Hoberman, is coming off a successful run in Motherf**ker With The Hat at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre. On SOA, produced by Fox 21 and FX Prods., he is joined by Donal Logue, who also is coming back after making his debut on the show last season. Sons of Anarchy is the highest-rated series ever on FX, and its recent fifth season ranks as the series’ highest rated yet with first-run episodes averaging 6.37 Million Total Viewers and 4.35 million Adults 18-49, a +16% increase in both categories vs. Season 4.

I really found the fifth season of Sons to be the strongest since the amazing 2nd. I'm hoping they can keep riding that wave, and both Logue and Smits were great additions to the show.

Okay, so I finally caught up.

This season was pretty crazy. I have a few questions:

1. How did Jax and crew get out jail?
2. At the end of season 3, when all the Sons start laughing in the paddy wagon, does that mean they knew the whole time Jax was working with the feds?
3. Is it just me or did anyone else think that absolutely no one gave a shit about Halfsack and the Deputy's deaths? I mean, I suppose Halfsack did get a pretty big funeral, but they didn't talk much about him after he died. And Hale, well no one said shit about him at all. Just thought that was kinda odd.

The show's pretty good, but one of the few complaints I have is all the alliances and subsequent breaking of alliances, and then subsequent kissing and making up of all the different motorcycle gangs seems to get REALLY tiring imo.

Other than that, it's a pretty good show. Jax is amazingly badass.

damn, the big complaint I have is how every season finale manages to be a ridiculous copout since the writer can't seem to find a way out his predicaments.

the worst offender was season 4 finale. holy shit mother of all copouts.

enjoyable tv though.

series finale will be jax and the sons hatching an elaborate plan to kill the entire FBI and end all rico investigations on them.

edit: scottish dude chibbs definitely became my favorite character as of late, glad they gave him more screentime.

Oh, and although I thought Damon Pope was a pretty damn good antagonist this season (though I felt he could have been cast much, much better), I don't see a lot of potential with the ex-U.S. Marshall dude.

For your 2nd question, I think its safe to assume that they knew all along, though it is also possible that Jax started the idea and let the club in on it later.

For the 3rd question, the Sons had no love for Hale, his brother and Unser mourned but you wouldn't expect much from the MC. Halfsack is probably related to events outside the show given they wrote him out for being kinda crazy (a decision that was probably wise given he later murdered his landlord and killed himself)

Really? I thought Pope was a meh villain, but Harold was great. And Toric is going to be great. I think he's what this show needs.

Well I meant Pope was good in the sense that he wielded a ton of power. I didn't particularly care for the actor that played him, though.

And you said that you work on this show, right? What do you do?

Halfsack asked to be written out as I recall it, he wasn't kicked out. He isn't mentioned for probably the same reason he quit - Sutter never cared about the character.

I really hope the next season isn't as endlessly grim and depressing as the last one. I mean, it's a dark show and I wouldn't like it any other way, but the other seasons always had at least sporadic moments of lightness to break up the dark shit. I also hope Jax becomes at least a tiny bit likeable again.

I have a couple more of that scene but thought they might be too graphic. To be honest I'm not sure where the line is with GAF gifs.

But there's the close-up of Otto biting off the tongue completely, then throwing it at the window.

Way to commit, inm8num2.

I've put a few behind the link as a courtesy before (frankly, a lot of people don't want to see certain things), but I've never seen anyone get banned for posting something that aired on tv for being too violent before.

I think they already started. In a recent WTF Kurt was talking about dealing with increased exposure and photos from their shoots. Darn those paparazzi with telescopic lenses! He made them sound like snipers on rooftops.

But yea, I believe filming has commenced, and they're scripting episodes 4-6.

- Kurt Sutter Updates ‘Sons Of Anarchy’ Prequel Status
Deadline said:
Rarely at a loss for words, Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter has spoken before about doing a prequel to the FX series. Today at the Produced By conference, he told me a little bit more about where things stand with the possible look at the formation of SAMCRO. “Right now, it is just conversations,” Sutter said after appearing on the Hit The Ground Showrunning panel. Confirming that the series, if it happened, would be with SOA’s current home of FX, Sutter said that the show wouldn’t be coming for a few years. “I want to let the property rest for a year or so after Sons is over before jumping in,” he noted. SOA is heading into its sixth season with the expectation that the biker club series will go for a least one more cycle after that. Beyond that timeline, a lot about the prequel is still up in the air. “I don’t know if it will be a series or a limited series of say 10 to 13 episodes,” Sutter said. “I don’t want to do it as a movie – tonally, I don’t see it as a movie.”
