Sons of Anarchy : Worst Things About This Show

Worst Things About This Show

I just finished watching the episode where Opie dies and I don't know if I want to keep watching. Opie was one of my favorites and that is not the only reason.

Here are worst things they have done on this show in my opinion.


1) Killing Piney. I loved him too and he was one of the original nine. He offered a lot of experience and wisdom to the group and I love the father/son relationship between him and Opie. He punched Opie and Opie never took it personal and forgave him right away. He even felt like he deserved but you could tell Piney felt terrible about hurting his son.

2) Killing Opie. He was one of the best characters on this show. He was loyal, smart, funny, and a bad ass. He was also one of those guys who a hard time talking about his feelings and was quiet but if he had something to say, you listened. He sacrificed himself so Jax didn't have to make a decision about which Son died. Maybe Jax should have chosen himself if he couldn't chose any of the other guys. I cried watching him die. If he had to die, it would have been more powerful if Piney was still alive. Piney and Clay could have gone to war over it and created a lot of drama.

3) Too much Tara! She is on way too much and takes screen time away from the other characters. Her hypocrisy, possessiveness, and attitude are so annoying. He's my son, my son, my son. Jax is mine. Jax is mine. Those were favorite things to say to anyone including to Jax and Abel's mothers. Jax may be her husband but he will always be Gemma's son and she is not Abel's mom. They should have killed her off instead of Donna.

4) Clay and Gemma - I loved them from the start, their relationship, and as their own characters. Having Clay beat Gemma and the way they ruined the characters sucked. He was a better leader than Jax and they were very intriguing characters until the show ruined them because so the show could be all about Jax and Tara and to try to make them look better.

Overall, I enjoyed this show and like the humor in it but so far but am having a hard time continuing to watch it for the above reasons.

The thing that made my teeth itch was the Russian gangster with a woman's surname. Really... with all the millions of $$$ thrown into production of this show, there wasn't anybody to spend 5 minutes on Google? WTAF? They thought Americans wouldn't notice?

As for your points, i have to agree. I loved Clay and Gemma. S4 ruined them. Especially Clay. He used to be the coolest character, much more likeable than Jax. An Tara i didn't know what to make of her. She had a few cool moments, especially in s2-3, but otherwise she was quite a cow.

a woman's surname?

but surnames are nothing to do with gender?

Is it like the Arabs/muslims where the first name is actually the surname ?

But you had Yuri Gagarin. Obviously Yuri is a first name male, I'm sure you could also have Svetlana or Malvina or Natasha or Nina Gagarin, right?

Re: Worst Things About This Show

in Russian language, surnames do indicate gender. Nina or Svetlana would be Gagarina, not Gagarin.
Viktor should have been Putlov. Putlova would be his mother or his wife.

its something like Mr. or Mrs. for English names.

ok..who said you will not learn anything on a board about an OMC..

A) That constant fued between the two was going to end only one way: Death. Obviously Clay wasn't going anywhere for awhile so him killing Piney made sense because eventually it led to him being ousted from the club and meeting Mr. Mayhem

B) Jax DID choose himself. Opie held him back and punched the guard. Re-watch that scene.


3) Tara was the love of Jax's life and the moral compass of the series of course she's going to have a lot of screen time. Jax was her true love since they were both sixteen and she loved him and their family. I don't see the big deal about that. Killing Tara off would have been a stupid idea and luckily we had writers that don't post on here.

4) Gemma was only on the series in the first place because her real life husband is the creator and she was nothing more than an old lady who got too much freedom within the club than she deserved and was responsible for much of the violence and wrongdoing on the show. The show was about Jax and Tara in the first place anyways and they were primed to be the younger version of Clay/Gemma, obviously. They looked better because they WERE better.
