Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original. Founded by 9 vietnam veterans, they are an outlaw group of bikers that sell guns and keep the streets of Charming, California free from meth. They're beseiged on by all sides, from rival motorcycle club, the Mayans, white supremacists (the Nords), corrupt cops, honest cops, the ATF, the One-Niners and the Real IRA. Sometimes, they cut the balls of child-raping clowns.
Currently, the best show on television. Its a black comedy meets a modern take on Shakespeare (Hamlet, in particular). Lets hit down the major players
Jackson "Jax" Teller, played by Charlie Hunnam. The vice president of SAMCRO and son of John Teller, one of the original 9 members of Sons of Anarchy. After finding one of his father's diaries, he has became wary of Clay and the direction the club is taking.
Clay Morrow, played by Ron Perlman, is one of the original 9 members, and the current president of SAMCRO. A savvy businessman, to say the least. He's currently married to Jax's mom, and has a right hand man in Tig.
Gemma Teller-Morrow, played by Katey Segal (Married with Children, Futurama), is Jax's mom, and the wife of Clay Morrow. She's more entwined in club business than she lets on.
[eh, can't find a good picture]
Dr. Tara Knowles, played by Maggie Siff, was once Jax's high school sweetheart, but she grew tired of SAMCRO's control over Charming and the violence it entailed. She left for Chicago, but came back after an abusive relationship. Unfortunately, her boyfriend followed her back. Even more unfortunate, he's an ATF agent, and put SAMCRO's feet to the Fire.
And then you have the lovable idiots that make up the rest of SAMCRO. Tig, played by Kim Coates, is by far the dirtiest and most dangerous. There's Opie and his dad, Pinie. Halfsack, a prospect member, who lost a testicle in Iraq, and is a champion bare knuckle boxer. Juice, a Hispanic biker who once gave a junkyard dog meth when he was told to drug the dog. Chibs, a Scottish biker who acts as the club's medic. And finally, my favorite, Bobby Elvis, played by Mark Boone Jr.
(view pic here) who is Jewish, and an Elvis impersonator on the weekends. He is the club's munitions expert, and because of his heritage, the club treasurer. Recently, on a hit gone bad, he was identified and the ATF has a warrant for his arrest.
Sons of Anarchy is on FX Wednesdays at 10 PM, and the first two episodes can be seen at
Hulu, for those of you in America.

If The Shield wasn't paying off 6 years of story lines at the moment then it'd be in a run for it's money for that title....it still wins but barely.
It's always sunny in Phidadelphia would like to have a word with you.
I never saw this show, just because I felt the promo ads didn't really make it seem interesting. Hell, it barely made it seem like there was any story.
Really great show, with some funny moments. (Compulsive Masturbation disorder?)
Still....
Perlman > Chiklis
Nice guy, good actor, but I never got to see him on the show the two times that I've watched it
I don't watch too much television anymore

This is my favorite show on TV right now, period.

What the flaming fuck is wrong with Jax? He starts tappin' junkie ass when he's got an infinitely hotter, way better lady doctor? On a serious level, this plot "twist" felt pretty forced to me. I don't think this show really needs this relationship drama crap, and I think that Wendy is a weak character.
It will be interesting to see if Unser and Hale come down on Clay for letting that shit happen in Charming, the place they're supposed to be all about protecting. Which kind of brings up another problem: If they don't want shit to get into Charming, why fake the Niners putting a hit out on one of their own within town? Seems pretty off.
Maybe I'm just over thinking a lot, but the writing in these last few episodes seems to have been coming apart a bit.

Agreed on the Opie/Donna thing. Op is fucking huge and Donna isn't. That was really just the way it was presented though.
Eh, the junkie is his wife who presumably he was with for a few years. He was really hurt and feeling how horrible everything was and wanted comfort and familiarity. I think he's going to be really fucking pissed at himself though.
It wasn't a great plan but they were under a serious time constraint. They didn't trust Jax to watch his mouth around Op and Jax wouldn't have watched it around Op so....
Though Tig is still a fucking pussy for not talking with Clay about how the deal went down and how Op saved his ass a couple times in the fight.
I can't imagine anyone besides Tig standing with Clay in any disputes that would arise from this whole thing. Maybe not even Tig.

I think Tig will go with whoever lets him go and kill people honestly, he's a little fucked in the head.
I have watched every episode and I must have missed it but what exactly does SAMCRO stand for?
It took me forever to figure that out, spent the whole first episode thinking it was Jax's dad or something.
Has Half-sack been a no show in the last few episodes?
I haven't seen him since they sent Cherry off.
It is a very good show, I must say.
Do... Re... Mi... So... Fa.... Do... Re.... Do...
Forget it...
Well Jax is kinda wimp at points but at others he's pretty hard.
Oh, wait, I thought you were quoting the other King Kong spoiler. Ha.

Oh, my.
I thought I remembered the torched ex-club member being dumped in front of the ER and his ex wife being notified, the night of the fair, exwife arrives, much sobbing ensues, etc. I don't, however, remember hearing about him at any point afterwards, and sometimes I wonder... Incredible episode, however, on par with the death of Tara's stalker.
That was not one of the points I was thinking of....
Also because the show is awesome, I'm upset it's over this week.
That second part doesn't happen to me.

Alright well I'm totally down to start a gang I bought a bike this summer. We can put left 4 dead in our headquarters.
Just leave the tattoo removal to me.
