I was that little kid on the bike with the playing cards being held in the spokes by clothes pins so it sounded like a motorcycle. Watching the clubs go by wishing I had a bike, knowing I would get one when I grew up. Figures I turned out this way.
Yes Donna changed a lot, losing your wife is one thing, but then finding out it was one of your brothers that did it is another.
Happy doesn’t look too Happy. No one does at that table. It is just real hard to wrap your head around the fact that you are not going to see your brother again. No retaliation? That is a difficult order. Sentiment runs deep. Just like when Tig ran over the girl that got them in this mess in the first place. Can’t work on emotion, got to use logic. Money goes just as quick as it comes, especially when it comes quick. Least they had it to spend on something good like saving their asses.
What the hell is Wendy thinking. Tara is right, you want to call a lawyer, bring it. And he isn’t three now, so go away for fifteen years and see if the boy finds you, but why confuse the situation now? Just one man’s opinion.
Gemma beat up that girl, caused a wreck, but it wasn’t her fault, it’s never her fault.
Nero’s girl aint no good, that’s obvious. She’s working both sides of the street. Nero is still cool though, thinking out loud, hoping someone is listening. Cool.
Gemma needs distance from Clay? Then get out of the clubhouse. Gemma didn’t know about Opie. That was like losing her own sons. Being the best friend of Jax, you know she watched him grow up as one of the club kids. Gemma breaking down, running down the hall, that was real tough.
Cool motorcycle chase, finally. You know for us there is never enough riding on the show, but we’re motorcycle enthusiasts.
Jax is the protector, getting the hooker out of town, telling the little kids to go in the house so they don’t get shot, always being polite, just like us, we’re always polite. Until someone isn’t polite to us, then things can change real quickly.
How did those bangers know where they were? Carla. I told you she was no good. Gemma should have known better than to try Jax on a day like this, she is way down on the priority list. Opie is dead, the send off is a real big deal. In fact I was real surprised that Piney didn’t get a big send off. I have been to some funerals in my time that had a pack of motorcycles seven miles long, hundreds of bikes. That’s respect.
I said it before and I will say it again, Wendy should stay clear. It’s pretty insane to see Gemma befriend her since she tried to kill her once upon a time. But Gemma’s deceit knows no bounds – there really is nothing sacred when it comes to Gemma.
Lyla is taking this pretty well in my eyes. She lost her man, still got his kids, but she ain’t alone – she has the club. Those are club kids and they will grow up with a whole lot of uncles, cousins, and brothers.
Gemma kissing Nero on the lot in front of every one was a no class move. Some men might have felt disrespected and walked out there and knocked them both out, Gemma first. Some men got no control.
Jax and Nero will be a good partnership. They both have an end game in mind, they both have the other piece necessary needed to expand, and most of all, they trust each other, which is the hardest and most important ingredient to come by. And Jax is right, family and business don’t mix.
Gemma has no shame. She is a survivalist and she is great at her game. She is as evil as Clay ever was plus she’s just smarter than him. Clay let his greed get in the way of his vision. Gemma’s vision is perfect.
Tara has come full circle, she is even smarter than Gemma is and just as ruthless. Gemma can twist the truth on anyone with so much ease it’s scary. I don’t even think she can tell the difference between the truth and the lies. I was surprised to see Gemma not help Tara give Carla that beat down. Although Tara didn’t need any help, so yep, it’s gone full circle. Tara graduated into a perfect old lady. Beautiful, sexy, smart, a weed smoking, take no shit killer with a PHD.
Nothing harder than burying a brother. I have buried a few in my time. I remember years ago I back drove one of my friends to the funeral to bury what I considered to be my little brother. We grew up together riding, fighting, messing things up, straightening them out, and I cried like a little kid the whole way. I don’t give a damn what anyone thought: I lost my Brother.
I can’t say enough about Opie Winston. He died like a warrior. He was exactly what being in a club is about. The Brothers. The Brothers first. Always.

Interesting. This thing is spiraling out of control.
And Tara would have an MD (Doctorate of Medicine) not a PHD (Doctorate of Philosophy) unless she is continuing her education and looking at goi9ng into hospital administration or something of that nature.
By Tfoot on October 4th, 2012 at 11:41 amSix years ago, I buried a man who I took to be my little brother. Op’s passing hit that nerve again. Didn’t expect that.
By Northcott on October 4th, 2012 at 7:41 pmI felt as though there should have been more done for Opie. They did more for Half sack which was only a prospect.
By Shyla on October 5th, 2012 at 9:05 amJust wanted to say thanks for your insights and comments. It has really given me (and many others, no doubt) a view of the life that I never knew existed, like the bonds of brotherhood, the strong family ties, and the relationships. Although I’ve never been an ol’ lady or involved with a club, I’ve was in the mc business years ago and have been riding for many years except for a way too long time off that’s stopping now. I’m almost 63 and getting ready to buy a new bike and start my life over. I didn’t watch SOA until after Season 1 but I rented the DVD and caught up quickly and haven’t missed it since! Thanks to SOA and thank you FB. All the best to you and your family. Respectfully, Morriganh
By Morriganh on October 5th, 2012 at 9:18 amIt pisses me off that Opie had to be killed off,unless he wanted off the show!
By HD45 on October 7th, 2012 at 5:31 pmSeems like the only one with their **** togeather is Jax ex the junky whore. She’s clean and has a straight job.
By Webster World on October 8th, 2012 at 12:40 pmThis show has gone off a cliff. No Mayans or bike riding. All about trans and blacks and soap opera. Gema runs the club and they allow the Irish to shoot up their bikes. Chuck Zito should be ashamed to be part of this circus. Too bad, last 4 seasons were great. This is so unbelievable and stupid I will no longer watch it.
By CT on October 10th, 2012 at 12:55 pmIt seems that many have grown tired of Gemma’s games. I don’t think that I was surprised that she didn’t step in to help Tara beat up Carla. Gemma had won, she manipulated Tara yet again, so she didn’t need to step in. Gemma has gone off the rails, it seems. Why befriend Wendy when she wanted her dead in season one? She barely has any deceny left within her.
By Tempest on October 15th, 2012 at 6:54 amBloodline does not define nor bind family ties. When a person becomes apart of your life in such a way that its as if you know their thoughts, feelings, reactions, opinions, pain and joy without even speaking to them, thats when you know they are your family. You can be of different race, sex, religion and creed but the love and loyalty you share is real and never doubted, you’ll do anything for that person.
Family, born into or not, can make or break you if you let it. Love, laughter, happiness, trust, loyalty, lies, deceit, backstabbing, pain, misery and hate somehow, someway, are all elements that can be deep seeded into that little word: FAMILY. Its in our power to determine what kind of family we want.
I love all of my natural family, but dont particularly like them all. My mother has 3 other daughters and by rights they are my sisters, but my TRUE SISTER is a white Oakie Girl I met in high school. We’ve raised our kids together, buried family members together, and helped each other thru relationships with abusive and undeserving men. We have fought and usually never agree with each other but I cant even imagine buring her, it would change me forever.
Watching Jax carry his bestfriend’s coffin was heartbreaking. Watching him carry his mother’s coffin, ehhh, probably not so hard…..just saying.
