Sons of Anarchy | Legend of Korra
Sep. 14th, 2013 09:31 amSons of Anarchy came back and it kind of surprised me because I actually had no idea of its return date; also, where did the year go?
This piece came out about the Mastermind problem among recent dramas and brought up SOA and I have to say I slightly disagree. SOA's doesn't seem to me to have so much as a mastermind problem as it does have an issue where the stakes seem very high to the characters but the audience know certain things will be okay (for now). Season 2 worked so well because the main characters went through actual hardship, and the relationships between them shifted a bit. I still remember Gemma going to Tara and that scene at the table when she tells Jax and Clay. The other seasons while entertaining (a blight on that Ireland trip) lacked that; or dragged things out. It has felt like Juice has been a rat forever. I do think these last two seasons will be satisfying, but the conflict between Jax/Clay/Gemma----Tara has been stuck in a holding pattern for so long. That seems to be changing. Honestly, I've watched way too much SOA to quite the show.
I am still behind on the Bridge. On Demand is not being consistent :(
Legend of Korra premiered last night. I need to watch it again but overall I liked it.
