What I’m Watching: Sons of Anarchy


Sons of Anarchy: Season 4, Episode 3 “Dorylus” (B+)

The club is starting to truly full apart as all of its members are pulled in different directions by what they think is right and other less noble motivators. Piney and Bobby are the two most opposed to working with the cartel and trafficking drugs, while both Jax and Opie are willing to have their minds opened for the right reasons, though Jax is going to run into some trouble down the road when he breaks the news to Opie that he’s not planning on sticking around. Clearly Tara is already planning her exit strategy, and it’s inevitable that Jax’s departure isn’t going to be anywhere near as clean or as easy as he might anticipate. Piney has barely been featured for a while now, and having Clay threaten to slit his throat for going to Gemma behind his back certainly brings him back in a major way. Roosevelt seems to have scared Juice good, and it’s very worrisome to think that Juice is now terrified of his fellow members finding out about his heritage and that he might even be dependent upon Roosevelt to keep him safe. Kozik seriously messed up by letting the neighboring teens steal the truck from right out under him, but SAMCRO responded speedily and furiously. I was particularly entertained by the guest appearance of Vivica, who, upon discovering that her sons actually had stolen the truck without telling her, was rather angry and called an immediate family meeting, finishing her business with SAMCRO by giving them some money for their troubles.
