Sons of Anarchy 3.01 Spoilers

I'm not really sure how I feel about all of this.

001. I loved the "Gemma knows" fake-out and it turning out to be her pop. Sad and sweet and unexpected.

002. I really hate that Hale's [extremely likely] last words on the show were basically him supporting his douchebag brother. His character was one that I had a strong fondness for. He brought something different to the table and was genuinely good and likable despite butting heads with the club so frequently. I loved that Jax had an unlikely ally in him and his ascent to Sheriff was something I was very much looking forward to. I wanted to see how it would change the dynamics of the club and of Charming itself. Now, if the brain-matter shot is to be believed, we'll never see any of that. My one hope in all this is that he somehow miraculously survives and this is a chance for him and Tara to become closer, but I'm pretty sure that's a long-shot considering the total lack of magic in Charming. [Despite its magical name.]

003. Jack helping Opie out of the barbed wire was a bit of a dream come true for me seeing as I kind of totally ship them. Haha. Opie taking Jax to the shower was a little less romantic though, considering Jax's state at the time, lol.

004. Jax's journey and meltdown. I was not happy, but I'm holding out hope for our would-be good boy.

I said way back at the end of watching season two that Piney, Tara, Opie, and Hale were the ones I saw as being able to keep Jax on his path and to not allow him to forget the words [or the spirit, in Hale's case] of his father. Hale was supporting Jax on that path even if he didn't know the details of it. Now it seems we won't see him helping out on that front. Tara, well, I'm not sure she's helping anybody much to be quite honest. Opie's still a bit of a question mark, but his behavior towards both Tigger and Agent Stahl after finding out the truth about Donna may indicate that he'll encourage Jax to behave in kind. Even though that remains to be seen. But PINEY! Thank the lord for Piney. He's clearly not going to let me down.

"You're decent. You love the right things. That's who he was. And I miss him. I miss him." - Piney

Whatever, that romance-novel-cover carry to the shower stuff was hot! :P

Dude, Jax/Opie is hard not to ship. How adorable are they? I just kept saying, "OMG they love each other so much."

Piney is the shit. The second Clay started talking to Jax over the coffin, I was screaming at him not to listen and remember what Piney said.

And Gemma with her dad was heartbreaking. Good stuff all around. I really missed this show. :)

I know, I know! But where is the fic?

[I would probably be afraid that Kurt Sutter would be slitting throats if that happened -- he's too present on the internet and he kind of scares me!]

For some reason I wished someone would write Jax being Donna's exception when Opie was in lock-up and Opie coming home and not being so pissed off about it. And then maybe Opie/Jax/Donna. Is that wrong? I hope not!

God damn how I wanted him to remember Piney's words. DAMMIT.

I can't believe what freakin happened to Hale. The episode was slow, but the end...OMG!

Like you
I wanted to see how it would change the dynamics of the club and of Charming itself.
I was also looking forward to that. Maybe he can still be saved? Yea, yea, I know - his brain looked to be crushed.

I give +1000 for what Tara said to Stahl. Why couldn't it be that bitch whose brain got crushed?

Jax/Opie <3

I think the thing that kind of seals the deal with me for Hale is that nobody even bent over to help him as far as we saw. I mean maybe that's what they WANT us to think and they kept him out of the "this season" promo just to trick us, but I somehow doubt it. Dude looked like roadkill in the worst of ways. I am so bummed.

Right? OMG Stahl needs to go away. The character has caused so much heartache and yet still she manages to stay alive and with her hands clean. I can't handle her anymore. [Not to mention, the actress gives me the heebs with her new face.]

Jax/Opie! \o/

Hale so didn't deserve that kind of death. He was a good guy, overall. And from what I remember, only the cops and his brother went over to him. I wanted to see if Hale was going to ease up on SAMCRO or join the "dark side" completely.

LOL @ Stahl's new face. The actress does a good job of making me hate her. It's bullshit how she gets away with everything. And so many people have the right to off her that her death better be satisfying.

i need to rewatch tom with a box of tissues, some mood music, and my vibrator

TMI, lol.


Mood music?

I'm sad about Hale :( I loved him, and if he's dead..why? I don't get it! I loved his ~journey during the first two seasons from total Captain America "must always follow rules" to someone who's a lot more pragmatic and nnghhh DON'T LET HIM BE DEAD. I'm holding out secret hopes that it'll be like you said.

I don't get it either, believe me!

I am hoping as well but I'm not sure how likely it is. :(
