Re: The fantastic ending of The Shield gives me hope for Sons of Anarchy. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 13/09/2014 05:01:12 PM

. Danny is going to hook up with Dutch (most likely considering the kiss) and he will raise Vic's kid which will irk Vic to the bitter end

The only issue I have is with this. I haven't seen it for a while but I recalled some coolness on Dutch's part, a kind of "Sorry, Dany, but that ship has sailed" albeit friendliness. The intention of his flirtation with Billings' lawyer (according to Sean Ryan in the DVD commentaries) was to suggest that he'd be hooking up with her down the road, which is why they cast Jay Karnes' real life wife in the role.
I keep telling my friends who watch Sons of Anarchy, whom haven't seen The Shield, that nothing in The Shield ends very well for anybody. I expect that the end of SoA will be much the same, nobody will escape untouched in some messed up way.

IDK, maybe, but the Shield was Sean Ryan's baby, and while Kurt Sutter definitely left his mark on that (according to Sean Ryan, all the most messed-up, horrific & warped stuff came from Sutter), they aren't the same creators and they have different visions. Ryan's other work has been different, and you could actually see The Shield as a hybrid or halfway work between Ryan shows and SoA. Speaking of Ryan's shows, I would strongly recommend you find Terriers on iTunes, or the internet or something. It was excellent, the Firefly of detective shows, starring Donal Logue (Lee Toric from SoA, with the guy who played Eli Roosevelt in a supporting role, and his real-life sister again playing his TV sister, but with a slightly bigger role than the prison nurse on SoA).

Not that I'm saying you're wrong, but that's definitely the way this season has started off, showing Jax making horrible decisions, and making no bones about Gemma's toxicity.

Wow really? I thought Angel had an amazing finale. *NM* Urza - 10/09/2014 04:10:40 PM 379 Views
It felt rushed. In fact, the last half of the season had that feel. I could have been better. *NM* Jeordam - 10/09/2014 05:51:55 PM 392 Views
I agree. Legolas - 10/09/2014 08:39:03 PM 724 Views
Yeah, thats fair. I liked the end end. The arch probably should have been over two seasons *NM* Urza - 10/09/2014 09:59:21 PM 365 Views
I liked Rome's. Or at least, the ending scene was great, don't remember all of the episode. Legolas - 10/09/2014 08:55:53 PM 694 Views
