The Dreaded Death

As I mentioned before in one of my previous blogs, it was confirmed by Kurt Sutter (one of the main writers of the show) late last week, that one of the main characters near and dear to our hearts would end up dead in this past Tuesdays episode of Sons of Anarchy.

If you haven't watched any of season five yet, your in for quite a ride. Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, well spoiler alert, they do!

But seriously, SPOILER ALERT!! If you don't want me to ruin anything for you that you haven't seen yet don't read on! You've been warned! If you would like to know what I'm referring to than please watch the video below. Head's up though, if you have a sensitive stomach it's a tid bit graphic.

I've come to have a love hate relationship with Tuesdays now. I'm sure many of you reading this share that same feeling with me. I get to watch this amazing show, yet deep down I know this season brings much tragedy. If there has been this much in the first three episodes I can't bear in mind what the rest of season five has up it's sleeves.

Let me say, I'm shocked but not surprised by the death of Opie. It was sad that he died, but like many others, I feel that his death was of a heroic fashion

I would love to hear from all of you though. What are your thoughts on the episode? And how are you liking season five so far? And on that note I will end today's blog with this: R.I.P Opie

Tara Knowles

We know from my previous blogs that Tara is Jax's fiancee. But how exactly does she fit in to Samcro?

Tara and Jax dated in their high school years. Extremely close to Jax, Tara showed her support of Samcro by getting a Samcro related tattoo on her back. In the first few episodes of the show we learn that Tara
eventually left Jax to pursue her medical education in San Diego, later to do an internship in Chicago. This
hurt Jax as he loved Tara. Gemma did not like how Tara up and left Jax, so she ends up holding
a grudge towards Tara. Eventually Tara comes back to Charming as a surgeon. This is when she is
introduced in the show and we learn what really happened while she was gone.

During her time away from Charming, Tara ended up dating an ATF agent, eventually getting pregnant.
She is concerned by his obsessive and abusive behaviour, and has an abortion. She heads back to Charming to get away. Tara had filed a restraining order against the agent but he continued stalking her. One night he ends up in her house and attempts to rape her. Tara goes along with it in order to retrieve his gun, once she gets a hold of the gun she shoots him in the stomach and calls Jax for help. When Jax shows up he is so disgusted that he shoots the agent in the head and disposes of his body.

Throughout the rest of the show we see Tara trying to prove herself to all of Samcro, especially Gemma. Tara often becomes the emergency medical help when member of the club are injured during shoot outs. Gemma eventually see's that Jax and Tara are still in love, and are working towards a long term relationship.
Gemma sees this as a good thing and warms up to Tara by teaching her the ins and outs of being an 'Old-lady'.

Later we learn that Gemma and Tara have different ideas for Jax's future. Now that Tara has given birth to
Jax's second son and is engaged to Jax, Jax promises Tara he will leave the club soon, but Gemma has been
prepping Jax to take over the club as Clays health diminishes.

What does the future hold? Well, you'll have to watch season 5 to find out!

Irish Theme Song

Hello Everyone, 
An anonymous commenter remined me of the Irish theme song that was used in season three.
Here is a clip from YouTube with the song.
Enjoy!

Theme Song

Here's a link to a youtube clip of the song that plays in the begining of the show.
Fun fact: While watching the dvd's if you speed up the into the song speeds up perfectly and adds a more chipper folk sound to it. Just thought I'd let you all know. 

Season Five

With season five here ready to air episode three this Tuesday, I'm curious to know what other people's thoughts are about the new season so far?

It was confirmed through Kurt Sutter's Twitter account that a main character will be killed off this week. I have a few suspected characters of who it might be, but I'd love to hear what you all think.

Also, what is everyone's thoughts on the up-comming guest appearance of Ashley Tisdale? I've read other blogs online and a lot of people have voiced that they aren't too thrilled about this. I wasn't too keen on the choice at first but I must say I have faith that this will work out for the show. It has been this good so far so I don't question any of their choices.

To keep up do date about the show you guys should all follow Kurt Sutter on twitter here!
Another good follow related to the show is Kelli Jones . She's the costume designer for 'Sons of Anarchy'. Both are a bit cheeky at times, but in a good way and well worth the follow. You guys won't be disappointed.

Leave a comment and let me know what you guys think about season five so far!

Cheers!

Charlie Hunnam as Jackson 'Jax' Teller

Allow me to introduce you to the main character of ‘Sons of Anarchy’. Portrayed by Charlie Hunnam, Jackson 'Jax' Teller is the son of Gemma Teller Morrow and John Teller.  

After watching the first four seasons of SOA we learn that Jax recently divorced his wife Wendy, whom is pregnant with Jax's first child. In the opening of the season we see Wendy, an ex 'junkie', has relapsed and is found unconscious. Once she is found she is rushed to the hospital for an emergency C-section resulting in baby Abel being born two weeks premature. Jax soon finds out that the baby will need emergency heart surgery as he has conceived the genetic heart condition that runs through the family. The surgeon who will perform the surgery is coincidentally Jax's first love Tara. She requested to do the surgery. The baby was expected that the baby had minimal chance of surviving the surgery, but the baby pulled through.

Jax is first seen as preventing any emotional bond with the baby as he is unsure of its survival after the surgery. Tara’s relationship with members of the club is seen as a bit uneasy due to occurrences in the past but Tara is eventually accepted by the rest of the clubs members. In time Jax and Tara bond over baby Abel end up back together and raise Abel as a family.

As Jax continues reading the journals that his father left for him, he discovers that the true nature of the club was to create a brother hood among the men. As the show progresses we see how John Tellers plan for the club was demolished after his tragic, and soon discovered, suspicious death. Jax finds it in his heart to change the club back to what it was truly meant for, even if that means choosing between his new family and the club. 

This Video pretty much sums up Jax Teller.

Samcro Explained

You may be pondering the thought, 'What is Samcro?'. Well, ponder no more and allow me to explain what Samcro stands for, how it all began, and its current status today as seen in 'Sons of Anarchy'.

Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original, or 'Samcro' for short, is a fictional biker club established in 1967 by two Vietnam war veterans, John Teller and Piney Winston. According to the television show, 'Sons of Anarchy', nine members formed the club in the fictional town of Charming, California.

John Teller, the clubs president, eventually married his 'old lady' Gemma Teller. A few years later Gemma gave birth to two sons, one of which died at a young age due to a genetic heart condition conceived from Gemma. Sadly, John Teller died in a freak accident and Gemma later re-married to Johns close friend, Clay Morrow, whom now is the current president of Sons of Anarchy. Gemma's oldest son, Jackson 'Jax' Teller, is the main character seen throughout the show. Now in his adult-hood  Jax, the VP, is constantly conflicting with his step-father Clay.
