Coming out with a bang. Great music – my Old Lady stood up and started dancing.
There is nothing like getting released. Rolling it up, walking down that aisle for what you hope will be the last time. It all seems surreal, until the SUNLIGHT hits you, and you feel the warmth outside, breath that fresh air, and you know it’s really happening. Been there a time or two myself. I always tried to come out a better man. And I always did.
Otto looks like hell, but death row will do that to a man. As you can see, there is no place a man can not be reached, even on the row. I don’t know if that razor blade came from an enemy or a friend, but either way knowing Otto has had enough.
Now that’s a home coming! Brothers waiting outside; bikes ready to go. Cool. From three hots and a cot, to patch and bikes, brothers, and right back in it. Way cool.
So Jacob Hale is taking over. Charming Heights? Looks like a clear cut situation to me, and that means development, population, and traffic. I don’t think the Son’s will let that happen.
So who’s this new Sheriff, Sheriff Roosevelt? Where’s Unser? I don’t think Sheriff Roosevelt will go on the payroll, just a hunch.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the government could differentiate between Motorcycle Clubs and street gangs? They just dump us all in one pile of undesirables; that way we are easier to prosecute under the Patriot Act or what ever else they can think of.
Piney is right, history needs to stay in the past. That is a tough trick to turn, as history has a way of repeating itself…..or rearing its ugly head at the worst possible moment.
Jacob Hale looks as if he is up to the same old shit, lining his pockets, trying to manipulate the system.
Combat pay, wow. I have never seen or heard of that. Most members I know are broke or working regular jobs. It’s a different time, and beyond that we are not on a TV show. Real guys are so individual it would be nearly impossible to get them to work together on anything.
New guns, new customers, new connections, new deals brings new problems. Could also mean a big new payoff, which must be the plan.
Gotta love Happy – kicking that cop car. Lucky they didn’t run him over. That was a cool trick, slowing them down so Clay could get away. Truth is, it would be the cops’ word against the Sons, and the cops always win those match ups, even when they lie.
New deals, mean new cops with new investigations. The US Attorney Linc Potter looks serious. That’s quite a war room. An ongoing investigation, with multiple agencies, that means trouble. These guys are paid to take their time and build a case, and win it. And they get paid by the hour. More cops, means more manpower, more man hours, and trouble for our guys.
The Russians are up to something, they ain’t no good, that’s plain to see. I just can’t put my finger on exactly what.
Release from prison sex – there’s nothing like it. And that’s all I’m gonna say on that. My Old Lady is spouting off and earful right now, but most of it is unprintable.
Clay might not have much longer as the President, but the reality is, the more years you have in the club the more respect you command.
Gemma is great, positive, supportive, logical, on the mark. She is right, Unser deserves more. What he did for the Sons with Stahl, that was above and beyond the call of duty.
So, Jax is thinking differently. Having kids will do that. Prison will do that; make you look at life from a different perspective. In reality if you love the club, it can rip your heart out and take you on a roller coaster ride you could never imagine, so these thoughts are normal.
Cool way to propose, having your boy do the dirty work. And in my humble Old Lady’s opinion, it is way overdue.
Tara asking how this all works? It works cause you make it work. We got a bunch of young men in our charter that work jobs, make babies, and raise families. Just got to have your priorities in order.
Jax leaving the club? No way. I don’t see that. He’s just thinking different cause he just got out. He has an exit strategy. Fear? Greed? That’s not the club I’m in, but then again we ain’t on TV.
Unser might have thought he was out of it, out there in the woods, in his trailer, but life ain’t over yet. He has work to do, and Clay will see to it, you can believe that. And from the looks of it, not a moment too soon. He looks like he was out there waiting to die.
Otto had a plan all the time. Looks like that prison guard is on the payroll. Otto slipped that scalpel in that Russians ear like a knife through butter. For Jax.
Good to see Clay and Alvarez still working together. The Sons have enough enemies, nice to have a friend here and there.
There is nothing like exacting your revenge. Jax hit Putlova in the same three spots that he got knifed. It’s only business.
So, the truth is in those letters. That truth looked like it shook Gemma up a bit. The truth always shakes people up, and rears its head when it wants to, at the worst possible moment.
The Sons are back. Back with a vengeance. And it’s about time.
I hope you are well, laughing with your loved ones.

Great opener ……………. I’m assuming the Russian Otto wasted was the one that stabbed Jax. So now the Russians are gone ( including the undercover cop )
By drkstr47 on September 7th, 2011 at 7:18 pmHooo-Rah from Canada….
Good to have you and samcro back again bob. Keep the dirty side down and look forward to your highlights and thoughts.
By Matthew on September 7th, 2011 at 8:49 pmWhy cant full episodes of SOA be viewed on the FX network online? Sometimes I want to watch the past episodes but can’t because they aren’t available anywhere.
By Lolita on September 7th, 2011 at 8:51 pmAs usual, you called it right, Bob. “The Boys Are Back In Town”, as the old song goes…and already there’s going to be some changes made. This looks to be a VERY interesting season. And welcome back to you, Fat Bob.
By Mike on September 8th, 2011 at 7:39 amI have been addicted to the show from day one. I must also say I am a fan of yours as well. It is always interesting reading, plus you give excellent insight into club life. One thing you did not mention, that I found amusing, was the wedding vows. “I promise to ride you as often as I ride my harley”….God knows every time we come back from a ride, that is a must on our list.
By Mournetta on September 8th, 2011 at 7:52 amGreat firs show of the season….but the one question I have is How did Squiggy get patched in an Filthy Phil is still prospecting, hope some of that back story comes out. (I love the small details man) ans whats with the Redwood patch on Kozik and Sqiggy….Happy got a Redwood Original Charter patch, but not the new guys. Hell Kozik was a Redwood Original in the first place. just my thoughts….hope the DETAILS come out
By Bones on September 8th, 2011 at 9:29 amAmazing episode. It’s always something extra with the Son’s this time they kill an FBI agent.
By eazy_ on September 8th, 2011 at 4:42 pmWhat season/episode did Jackson get stabbed? My CRS is kicking in.
By John Canfield on September 9th, 2011 at 11:12 amA few of my friends and I have been talking and I am just wondering your opinion, is it just us or does the US Attorney Linc look like John Teller. If you look at the pic hanging on the wall in the clubhouse and then look at Linc he looks like and older version of John and he does ride a motorcycle!!!! Did John really die? Did they ever find his body?
By WANDA on September 10th, 2011 at 7:13 amGreat Blog Fat Bob! Keep it up. You always seem to hit upon something I missed. – Kel
By Keldog on September 14th, 2011 at 1:41 pm“Coming out with a bang” was an understatement. Lord have mercy, and I better buckle up because it looks like it’s going to be a bumpy ride this season. Luv ya!
By Meg Gruner on September 14th, 2011 at 9:37 pmI dunno, Bob… I think Roosevelt might be like Hale’s brother when he sees what a stinkhole Jacob Hale is… may not get on the payroll, but may see things in favor of the MC… at least once in awhile…
By CJ on September 15th, 2011 at 11:14 pmWhat episode did Jax get shanked in?? It’s driving me nuts, I’ve seen them all except for episode 2 of season 4. I saw a commercial showing him getting stabbed in prison while on the phone, but it wasn’t in any episode was it? Fat Bob said Jax stabbed the Russian in the same spots, how did you know? Season 3 ends with them going to prison, then 4 starts with them getting out, we never saw anything that happened in prison. Did I miss something?
See, told you it’s driving me nuts lol.
By Sydney on September 20th, 2011 at 4:13 pmNice to have the show and you back on! I’m thinking some serious **** gonna come out this season and hopefully that new cop will see through Jacob Hale. Enjoy reading your thoughts of the show.-Tina
By Tina on September 22nd, 2011 at 4:10 pm@ Sydney: There are three previews kind of, that shows what happened when they are in prison. So there is no real episode. You can watch them on youtube, they are called Second son, Tara and Piney and Pay phone.
