'Sons of Anarchy' Review: The Outlaw Had Mercy

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:48:48 GMT

It's hard to believe that Sons of Anarchy can easily go from a place full of hate and retribution to a place where love and forgiveness reign. But we see the unexpected happen in the episode "Service."

The 11th episode of Sons of Anarchy's second season picks up right where we left off last week with Jax attaching his SAMCRO patch back in his vest--- a confirmation that he's officially back in business. While Jax tells Clay "we kill them," his whole approach to avenge his mother's rape changes at the club meeting. SAMCRO takes the smarter route this time by studying the League's weakness, which turns out to be Zobelle's secret dealings with the Mayans to control the heroin circuit behind his pal AJ Weston's back. The club is determined to use this scoop to create internal friction within the League, ultimately giving Zobelle a dose of his own medicine.

How do you follow up "Balm," which has been labeled the best episode of Sons of Anarchy? Leave it to the brilliance of series creator Kurt Sutter and company as the show moves on to its 11th installment called "Service." Gemma's revelation about her rape last week serves as the first step in what appears to be a very long healing process. However, her tragedy is so huge that it throws everything else, even Jax and Clay's hate for each other, in the backseat. And now that Jax is officially back in the club, we can expect that tonight's episode is about nothing but revenge.

If "Balm" isn't the best episode from Sons of Anarchy, then I don't know what is. And it's not even the finale yet. This week, we get 90 minutes of honest-to-goodness TV and I'm not just saying this because I'm a fan of this show. Much of the 10th episode of Sons of Anarchy delves into Jax's decision to go nomad and the impact it brings on the rest of SAMCRO though, in the end, we find comfort in knowing that all hope is not lost thanks to Gemma's big tear-jerking reveal about her rape.

If there's anything worth watching on TV on Tuesday nights, it's definitely Sons of Anarchy--a show about a notorious outlaw motorcycle club that leaves you at the edge your seat each week. Now imagine doubling that rush as FX airs 90 minutes of suspense, drama and action tonight at 10pm.

Our favorite leather-clad men from Sons of Anarchy are back for another season but not without some new guest stars and bad-ass rivals. As hinted before, the second season of the FX drama will find Jax and the club dealing with the fallout from Donna's death. To prepare you for the rest of the action packed season, check out our spoilers after the jump.

Sons of Anarchy: Jax Takes a Hike

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:38:54 GMT

The bloody prison fight, Bobby's speech for healing and Gemma's dinner have not improved the tension between Jax and Clay by one bit on Sons of Anarchy, and unfortunately, the death of Luanne has further added salt to the injury. In the episode "Fa Guan," we see more loathing than ever before as Clay blames Jax for Luanne's murder and uses her death as an excuse to shutdown the porn factory.

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:00:00 GMT

Charming continues to be a battle ground for SAMCRO and its many rivals, proving that the tension in Sons of Anarchy is far from running its course. In tonight's episode called "Fa Guan," we see the our favorite motorcycle club deal with the aftermath of the death of Luanne, who was killed after Jax, Bobbie and Opie taunted and threatened her rival porn producer Georgie Caruso for stealing some cameras in Luanne's porn studio.

'Sons of Anarchy' Review: SAMCRO Mourns Another

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:42:38 GMT

Jax and Clay's relationship seems beyond repair now more than ever and the events that transpire in this week's episode of Sons of Anarchy make all SAMCRO's holes even deeper. The rest of the club members are well aware that something has to be done to make things right, however, various legal and shady businesses have separated them further into different corners.

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 06:00:00 GMT

The ending of last week's episode of Sons of Anarchy gives us a pretty clear picture of how muddled SAMCRO's state of affairs will be in the eighth episode of the second season called "Potlatch." Now that Jax and Clay have gone separate ways after brutally coming to blows in prison, it seems that nothing can be done to unite our favorite motorcycle club.

Sons of Anarchy: How to Fix a Problem like SAMCRO?

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:00:00 GMT

Time doesn't heal all wounds and this doesn't just apply to Tara's injured nose which seems to be getting worse each week on Sons of Anarchy. Bobby has it all right when he said that "the club needs a healing" in this week's episode but it's the kind of healing that doesn't come with time. Something has to be done to make things right within SAMCRO and it has to be done fast.

Sons of Anarchy: It All Comes Down to a Bloody Prison Fight

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:50:08 GMT

After all the tension between Clay and Jax, it all comes down to a bloody prison fist fight in "Gilead," the seventh episode of Sons of Anarchy's second season. Ironically, this episode is supposed to be about healing of sorts though it seems like the wounds are deeper than ever. And if you're expecting these two men to set aside their differences in attempt to survive jail, then clearly you haven't been watching Sons of Anarchy that long.

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 05:00:00 GMT

The League couldn't have picked a better place for Jax and Clay to come to blows in tonight's episode of Sons of Anarchy. With majority of SAMCRO members behind bars, the club is forced to make new alliances in prison to survive while Agent Stahl takes advantage of the situation to further put a wedge on Jax and Clay's relationship.

Sons of Anarchy: It's a Trap!

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:53:20 GMT

Everything's a mess in Sons of Anarchy and I mean that in the most positive way. This week's episode, "Falx Cerebri," presents the mounting tension within the club in a silver platter and this time the beef is not just between Jax and Clay, it's also between Jax and Opie. But before anything else, let's recap: a white separatist gang attacks Otto in jail, leading Jax and Clay to yet another heated argument on whether or not to retaliate against the League. Chief Unser confides in Hale about Gemma's rape in hopes of steering him away from Zobelle while Chibs was caught in an explosion at the club's garage.

If there's one thing on Clay's mind on tonight's episode of Sons of Anarchy, it's revenge and revenge alone. You can't blame him though. After all, the League tried to take down two of his men: first it was Otto, and then it was Chibs. And it looks like the settling of scores is far from over.

Who's Going to Die on 'Sons of Anarchy'?

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 06:00:00 GMT

Last season, fans of Sons of Anarchy witnessed the death of Opie's wife, Donna, at the hands of Tig (and Clay) ---which pretty much set the tone and direction for the second season's plot. Unfortunately, it looks like Donna's funeral isn't the last one for the show because SAMCRO will be mourning for yet another loss this season.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead!!!

Sons of Anarchy: To Retaliate or Not?

Sometimes revenge is not the best solution. Or is it? That seems to be main argument in "Smite," the title of the fifth episode of Sons of Anarchy's second season. After last week's tension-filled feud between Jax and Clay, the rivalry between these two characters has apparently become more subtle yet the wound is deeper than ever.

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:00:00 GMT

Besides Gemma's gang rape incident and SAMCRO being caught in between the One-Niners and the Mayans (as tipped off by the Aryan brotherhood), there hasn't really been an exchange of blows between our favorite motorcycle gang and the wicked white separatist group. But it looks like it's all about to go down tonight on Sons of Anarchy in the episode entitled "Smite."

Sons of Anarchy: Clay Makes No Empty Threats

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 06:00:00 GMT

Series creator Kurt Sutter and his crew must have had a eureka moment when they made this week's Sons of Anarchy episode, proving that the rest of season 2 can live up to its glorious start while surpassing expectations week after week. Charming is rapidly turning into a combat zone, not just with the arrival of the Aryans, but the fact that the Jax-Clay feud is now starting to take form, with members of SAMCRO taking sides.

Sons of Anarchy: Preview of Episode 2.4 "Eureka"

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 05:00:03 GMT

More trouble's afoot on tonight's episode of Sons of Anarchy, and it's not just because of the traumatizing attacks on previous installments. We last saw the characters in a "Fix" but it seems as though a stroke of genius will be hitting them tonight on "Eureka." That is, if the gang survives another assault.

On "Eureka," there's even more tension boiling between Jax (Charlie Hunnam) and Clay (Ron Perlman) as they try to rescue Tig (Kim Coates). He's been captured by bounty hunters, and crossing the state lines is going to be tough.

Sons of Anarchy: Porn Business, Minor Catfights and Temporary Solutions

Gemma is still trying to keep the best revenge against LOAN by keeping her mouth shut about being gang raped though it does take a toll on her relationship with Clay in Tuesday's episode Sons of Anarchy. I feel sorry for Gemma for what she went through but I also feel sorry for Clay for having no idea what happened. One thing's for sure, though, Gemma's "accident" is affecting not only their sex life, but their marriage as well.

"Fix" seems to be an appropriate title for the third episode of Sons of Anarchy's second season simply because it wastes no time in presenting solutions for some of the problems of SAMCRO and the rest of Charming, albeit temporarily.

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Jax may have gotten Tara back but that doesn't mean that these two will have their happily ever after ending, at least not anytime soon. And judging from the way things look in tonight's episode of Sons of Anarchy entitled "Fix," more roadblocks are in the cards for these two love birds.

Now we all know that Tara's been trying her best to accept Jax --- and everything about him including his perilous lifestyle and his gang. She's also being exposed gradually to some of SAMCRO's shady deeds. And so far, she's been doing a superb job taking everything in, in spite of some pretty big reservations. But what happens when a girl gets in the way of Tara and her man?

Sons of Anarchy: Charlie Hunnam Loses Tooth Over Action-Packed Scene

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Losing a tooth is a pretty big deal for Charlie Hunnam, who plays Jax on Sons of Anarchy, especially since he takes pride in the fact that he's never had a filling and has never done anything to his teeth. But it looks like it's all worth the pain and humiliation as the English actor describes the scene that caused this major sacrifice.

If you've been diligently watching Sons of Anarchy, then you're already aware of the kind of aggression the series doles out. SAMCRO itself is a fearless depiction of violence as members use their fists to express their feelings, whether it's about payback, protection or settling of scores. However, you wouldn't expect, Jax, among all its members, to physically come to blows with one of his club bros, right?

Sons of Anarchy: Gemma Won't Let Them Win

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 06:00:00 GMT

If there's one thing I've learned on Sons of Anarchy, it's never to underestimate Gemma. She may have suffered in last week's second season opener but she remains solid as ever. Not that being brutally raped doesn't take a toll on her. It does and we see it all in "Small Tears," which opens with a cold and helpless Gemma on the floor of an abandoned warehouse while Katey Sagal gives her own rendition "Ruby Tuesday" on the background. It's disheartening and outright haunting.

Sons of Anarchy is one of the shows I'm really looking forward to this fall and after watching last week's disturbingly good season 2 opener, my excitement has definitely hit the roof. With the arrival of the League of American Nationalists (LOAN), led by Ethan Zobelle and his pal AJ Weston, things are not looking good for SAMCRO. But the way things are going, our favorite motorcycle club might as well tear down itself before their new opponents do more damage.

Sons of Anarchy: What Should Gemma Do Now?

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

After watching Kate Sagal's gripping scene in the season premiere of Sons of Anarchy's second season, it's only natural for fans to wonder what will now happen to her character Gemma. Will she plot her sweet revenge right away? Or will she carry on as if nothing happened?

'Sons of Anarchy' Returns with Disturbingly Good Season Opener

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 05:00:00 GMT

"It's time for a change," Piney told Jax last season on Sons of Anarchy and I felt every bit of it as the show returned last night for its sophomore season. That "change," however, didn't come in the form of a resolution for SAMCRO as you can still feel the tension among its members in the wake of Donna's death. It's understandable, though, because fixing things doesn't happen quick and easy. Instead, we find a newly assertive Jax, a vengeful Opie, who still doesn't have a clue who really killed his wife Donna, and a new villain in the form of The League of American Nationalists (LOAN), who seems to stand for particularly twisted brand of malevolence.

If you missed "Albification," then I suggest you stop reading and watch it now. Take note, however, that it's not for the faint of heart. But for the rest of you who did, fire your comments away as I discuss what went down.
