Fist of Doom

Synopsis:



4 more episodes left after tonight.

Fandango

The title of this episode means judge in Chinese for whatever that's worth.

Chuck Finlay

I am so pumped, I love SOA, and with the season coming close to its end, you have to wonder what will become of LOAN, and if Opie will become aware of how Donna's death actually came about

90 minutes next week

Next week's preview:

Tonight's episode was good. I felt really bad for Otto there at the beginning. The entire scene with Jax, Opie, Bobby, and Tig with the judge and his son was pretty intense. Really felt bad for Opie there and you could see how much he blames himself. I said it last week and I'll say it again this week, I am glad Tig is having a hard time doing bad things after he killed Donna. Obviously Darby died (can't get too upset about that), but I wonder if Chuckie died? Didn't seem entirely clear to me. I love how Clay has no problem getting guns from Hamas and the Chinese, but thinks earning legitimate money producing pornography is wrong.

I can see why Jax would think Clay torched the studio, but he should look into it just a little more before going Nomad. Will be interesting to see how that plays out. Next week looks great. And a 90 Minute Episode to boot...can't wait!

EDIT: It was definitely him, although I'm not sure what it was holding.

I rewound and couldnt tell.

I thought Luann made up the prison clause.

Fist of Doom

Awesome episode. I need to rewatch to process everything.

Jax seems itching to spill the beans about Donna; Bobby, for one, seems destined to figure it out.

The contrast between SAMCRO and the League is striking. Zobelle is acting with a cool, calculated head and Clay is acting bullheaded and dividing the club. I wonder if Piney will be able to bring them back together.

I think his problem with the porn business is the fact that Jax is running it.

Jimmy James

I get the problems with porn are:

1) Jax
2) It wasn't his idea (only slightly different than #1)
3) I get the idea he always looked down at Otto and his old lady, so he didn't like losing that relatively higher moral ground

Charlie Goose

Really intense scene with the judge, and how he immediately assumed the attackers were there because of his son.

I love the outlaw biker lingo. "Going Nomad", badass!

MrX

Good episode

I liked the face Opie's daughter made when he kidded the porn chick

uteotw

Loved it for the mostpart, though I am getting a little tired of all the Clay/Jax arguing and am ready for it to just be settled, one way or the other. Bobby is clearly starting to put it together...

I sure hope things work out for the judge and his son, what with the son knowing Dad would let him be murdered rather than throw out a case, but he'd throw out the case to save some letters from his dead wife.

This mention was followed by the mention of and exclusive look at Avatar as well. I'm guesing the 90 minutes is actually maybe 10 or so more minutes of SoA and 20 minutes more of advertising/commercials. [/cynical]

I LOVE the slow drawnout buildup of Jax/Clay coming to a head and everyone eventually finding out the stuff with Donna. Makes for some awesomely tense scenes and Jax gets to be all badass everytime it happens.

Ropes Pierre

I am not sure who the 4th person was at the judge's house. I think it was the prospect, because Tig was off testing the sample guns.

Tommy Ceez

No, he met them at the house as per his convo outside with Jax in front of Bobby

sven

Tig was there.

Man SAMCRO's truly pathetic. They don't have the brains and they don't have the muscle. How the hell have they survived for so long!?

Fist of Doom

Heh, heh. I don't know, dude!

superfro

They get by on snark. Which they have. In abundance.

Jimmy James

I don't know if it was poorly shot/edited/whatever or what, but they really did look like a bunch of morons when dealing with the judge.

Tom Creo

I hope Chucky made it!
Man, that church scene with Gemma was really powerful. For some reason, I really do like the scenes with her and Unser. Great Chemistry. It's an amazing performance we are seeing from Sagal this season. She kills me with every simple gesture and facial tick. She had me near tears when she responded to the church/choir.

dino88

Speaking of the church scene, who was the girl Gemma thought she recognized?

Snowmaker

I think we've seen her before, but can't recall where/why.

bralph

I thought maybe it was the chick she smacked upside the head with a skateboard last season, but I wasn't entirely sure. I couldn't remember what exactly happened with her after that.

Red Dog

I have to agree.

The judge's son must have been a real loser with the judge not caring.

I think Gemma gave her money when she saw her with a "need money for kids" sign and told her not to use it on drugs.
