Am I? I thought the Nomads were like a loose ad hoc Sons of Anarchy chapter, comprised of all the guys who didn't want to be members of the real clubs.
With what you're saying, that'd mean there's some club based in a location called Nomad...

Yep, that completely went over my head as well. I remember the guy putting his foot on the prospect's shoulder but don't remember them calling him Peg. Plus the prospect's a full member now, no? I have to watch it again but I don't mind because I thought it was a great season opener.
When I first heard that Perrineau was cast as the main baddie this year I had my doubts. But after watching him on last night's show he sold the part terrifically. I like how they played him more as a business man than a lower level drug dealer.
I haven't read any reviews of the show yet but for me personally, I dug last night's show. It sure was brutal, especially the burning of Tig's daughter. I thought it was an awesome opening episode for the season.

Season opener was awesome. I can't wait to see what Joel McHale's performance of his character brings to this season.
The three Nomads are Gogo (Chris Browning), Greg the Peg (Kurt Yaeger), and Frankie Diamonds (Chuck Zito). Filthy Phil was patched in and is a full member (though him and Happy aren't technically regulars, even though Happy is in the promo pics and has a parking space).

Was he the one sitting close to Bobby? I thought I'd seen him somewhere, lol.
He was in Oz, I believe. He originally sued the show for saying he pitched it to FX, or something like that.

He also likes, uh, weird clothing. He basically wore the teepee the other day.

Now I remember where I've seen him, on Howard Stern's show when it was on E. They were talking about how Zito supposedly beat up Jean Claude Van Damme, lol

McHale has a part in S5? Well, that sucks. I hope it isn't a major one.

He was actually a Hell's Angel and was president of a chapter in New York.

Huge numbers. Congrats to Sutter & Co.!
As for some of the comments about Tig's reaction to his daughter burning, I doubt anybody knows how they'd react. Tig's reaction was a mix of disbelief, trying to soothe his daughter, and pure rage. I thought it was brilliant. He was completely losing it and not sure how to process what was going on.

First half was very slow, but the second half I was like holy shit!
Can't wait to see Tig go to town on Pope, should be good stuff. The only problem I had with his reaction is that he didn't seem to fight too much, like I think I would have broken both my wrists trying to get loose, but who knows. He seemed to just kind of accept it was happening and made peace with it and started planning his escape and revenge.
Also thought I would hate Smits, but he seems alright so far. Also wonder what Clay is gonna do this season, no way he mopes around all year broken and beaten down.
One last thing, it was wonderful seeing Maggie Siff again, oh how I have missed dat ass.

Awesome numbers, hope they hold up well throughout the season.
@Mackenzie 92, hell yeah Maggie was looking pretty good last night.

One of the things the episode did very well was emphasize how little power Jax actually has.
The Nomads obviously still follow Clay. He tried pulling rank on the CIA, but that pretty much backfired.

I swore I will not be hook about this show after last season, but Teague's story is now fucking interesting. Also, Pope looking to be a formidable bad guy.

I quit halfway through Season 3, worth picking back up?
I thought Smits owned the Miguel Prada character. The problem was the Dexter writers had no idea what to do with him.

This was always my problem with Sons. It's like he learnt nothing from working on The Shield.

I don't think so, Smits was pretty terrible as Prada. Look at how well Lithgow pulled off his character even with the bad writing.

So why would the nomads fuck up Unser? It's been a while since I watched season 4.

This season will definitely be the one where actual cast members die. Can't see them not do it...again.

I loved the season premiere. Pope burning Tig's daughter while he watched chained was very unsettling and very fucked up. Only issue I had was the actor portraying Tig. Gemma's a slut lol and I didn't even notice the nomad with the prosthetic leg until I saw it at the end of the episode. Also poor Wayne .

Tig's daughter being burned alive is entirely Clay's fault, right? Would someone please shoot Clay in the head? I don't want him on the show anymore.

Between Jax, Opie, and now Tig hating him...I don't see him making it out of this season alive especially since they copped out on it last season

I agree about the Tig "oh baby's". I am glad to have the sons back in my life.

It was about what I was expecting. Though why are they hiding out in a brothel of all places, you'd think they'd at least have a safe house or something.
Also pope seems like an interesting character.

I bet Clay ends up getting used as a tool of some sort in a deal that goes down or something similar. And he knows he will die if he does it but does it anyway, and dies.
Would be much more badass if Jax put him on his hands and knees and shot him in the head though.

I was annoyed that they didn't kill him in the last season, but he was so great in the premiere that all my complaints evaporated.

I thought Clay was going die last season though now he lasted the opener of this season, I'd prefer he'd go at least until the end of the season or even the end of the series (perhaps with a lesser role).
Oh baby.

Should this show be on my to-watch list? At first I heard it described as "A show about bikerdudes" which made me go "yeah, whatever", but then the IMDB description...
...makes it sound quite a bit more interesting than I thought. So could someone give me their couple paragraph long pitch and tell me what makes this show great?
IMDB said:

Yeah, that was what popped into my head as well, :lol
That IMDB description, my God...
(Ivysaur would be the best to give you a pitch).
Fuck, sorry, double post.
Fucking Clay man. Tigg is going to go nuts next episode. I've watched every SoA episode but a lot of the times I was drunk. So starting around 3 days ago I started watching from season 1 from scratch. Almost done w/ season 2 it's a real good refresher course for me. Love to see the tension building up all over again.
Fuck you Clay.
Yeah same. Just watching the episode in season two where

Opie almost kills Stahl. I can't wait for the real scene where he finally does it. God I hated her so much!
