Hulu is really dragging its goddamn feet on this season. Looks like I get episode 4 next week, with one episode a week after that.

I didn't realise this was the season finale until the last minutes of the show. Well played.
I think I'll try more to not know how many episodes there will be, it adds to my fun.

Whatever weaknesses the series had this season were more than compensated for in the finale. Simply brilliant.

That was good, but there was something I missed that I'm confused about

Watched the first episode of season four last night with the wife.
Whoever their boom-cam operator is, he needs to move slower.
Thought it was a decent start. Wish they had spent a little time with them in the jail, but walking in on the season closer and walking out on the start worked better than it did in battlestar galactica.

And here they start into the new season at full speed.
I like the new DA, I kind of root for him.

I'm already tired of Tara again. (Shit, did I post in the True Blood thread by accident?  ) One scene she's all lovey dovey with Gemma thanking her for how much the club has done, then the next she's back to "WAH I CANT DO THIS!" Bleh. Otherwise the season started good; with the new ADA and all the FBI guys I'm reminded of The Sopranos. |

The first ten minutes had Ray McKinnon quoting Nietzsche and Danny Trejo making an appearance. That's good enough for me.

I am loving this season so far. Much better than the last season. I am starting to think that the entire point of the last season was just setting up background for this one.
BTW Does anyone know anything about the ending song for this last episode (think it was episode 3)? It sounded reminescent of Smashing Pumpkins and fit the scene perfectly.

I thought the point of last season was to go to Ireland. I thought it was sort of a confused mess and didn't make a great deal of sense. I hope this season gets back on track. Seems headed that way. |

Between the usual suspects, the new DA and the cartel they should be able to cook up a nice mess for everybody to get caught up in.

The Hamlet allegories are becoming much more prominent this season. It makes me feel like this will be the last season, or they are at least building towards a finale.
One question though:

One question though:
I had the exact same reaction. It's just not ringing true for me. Possible explanation: |

Regarding race in motorcycle clubs, Kurt Sutter wrote on his blog:

Ok, I'll go with that. The only real misstep I think Sutter's gone into with the show has been their picture of Ireland and the IRA being about 2 decades behind the times. It just seemed out of place.

I guess it could make sense but they didn't provide any background for it in the show, so this is completely out of the blue unless you know the history about motorcycle clubs. They have set the club as being pretty racially tolerant for the past few seasons (even in this season) and randomly they have one Latino who is afraid of getting called out as black. The more I think about it the more ridiculous it seems. If they wanted to explore that aspect of motorcycle club history they needed to build it in gradually and not just suddenly shoehorn it in.

Well, I'm giving them until the end of the season for Clay to die a slow horrible death. If he survives this I call bullshit.

No, not the last season. They plan to take it to seven seasons.

Other than the stupid Juice racial thing, this season is way improved over last for me.
How many more Shield alums can they fit in?

I like this season a lot, I just don't see how it can end without at least a few (more) major cast members dying/leaving the club.

I've been recently hooked onto the show, so I've been watching current episodes while playing catchup on the earlier stuff. But as much as I love it, the way things are going with the new season, I really have to wonder what they'll be doing for another season or two. The way the momentum is building up, I don't see how many people will be left walking around by the season's end.
