2023-10-11 06:15:40 +0000 UTCThe way the show portrays Chibs this season is really interesting imo. It's very unusual that a character who is liked and intended to be liked by the audience is shown to be openly racist or at least indifferent about the existence of racism in their surroundings. Normally in media, racism is a sure fire bad guy denominator and the way it's portrayed is very clumsy and on the nose. According to most shows, the only people partaking in and succumbing to racist belief systems are hardcore ethnic supremacists, but the reality is a lot more nuanced and subtle than that, as shown with Chibs this season. In this scene here, or in a prior one where Juice asks Chibs about the bylaw banning black people from becoming members, Chibs never voices agreement with the openly racist rules, but he never questions their validity either. As you pointed out, he only tries to reassure Juice with the fact that his paperwork states Hispanic as his ethnicity, rather than saying that it doesn't matter that his father was black. It's a really insidious form of racism because of how hard it can be to detect, Chibs doesn't think he's racist here, and quite fittingly, Nikki and Steven didn't realize either...

2023-08-05 04:44:11 +0000 UTCThe only reason I watched SOA later was because The Shield was so GREAT.

2023-08-03 17:29:51 +0000 UTCThe fact that SOA was based on Hell's Angels was the reason I didn't watch it when it was airing and only looked at it later to see if they ignored the racist part of their ideology which they didn't. The amount of racial slurs used is a non-issue for me (They're a racist biker gang, how are they supposed to talk.) It's a great drama with some of my all-time favorite performances. I don't take shows/movies and music lyrics literally.

2023-08-03 17:24:19 +0000 UTCNot here. Not with the way she needles her way back. Automatic lawyer threat. Showing up in hospital with no care of reading the room. Not right! Lol

2023-08-02 18:52:19 +0000 UTCI’ve always wondered about that. Or maybe Asperger Syndrome. I knew someone with that, and they have a lot of the same characteristics.

2023-08-02 15:21:34 +0000 UTCI didn't see that bathroom scene between Chibs and Juice as anything to admire tbh, rather than Chibs telling Juice that he or the club don't care about the black thing... he moves the goal post for him and is like "nah, you're hispánic, and your paperwork says it." They don't handle mental health well, or their prejudices. And for anyone who doesn't believe SOA is racist, they're modeled after the Hell's Angels MC which was a neo nazi group in its earliest days. Not to mention the amount of racial slurs used by every single member when dealing with blacks, asians and hispanics. No slurs towards the Russians or Irish by comparison though.

2023-08-02 10:56:14 +0000 UTCDon't get me wrong I love Tara but I also love Wendy for some reason 🤷🏻♀️

2023-08-02 10:55:04 +0000 UTCAgreed, Kozik did deserve so much more than go out like that

2023-08-02 10:53:16 +0000 UTCLenny is so great

2023-08-02 10:51:56 +0000 UTCYes please

2023-08-02 10:51:21 +0000 UTCI'm loving how deeply invested you've gotten with our boys. I've watched it time and again since original air date and it's impossible not to become attached and personally involved. For me, Chibs was and is my favourite and his scene with Juice almost broke me first time around, that is until he threw in 'two guys hugging in a bathroom' and I screamed with laughter. Great reaction, can't wait for the next one.

2023-08-02 08:15:36 +0000 UTCThe Shield, not The Wire. Wrong cop show.

2023-08-02 07:57:22 +0000 UTCKozik's death was and what he said was a call back to Kurt Sutter's previous show, The Wire. The actor who plays Kozik was also on that show.

2023-08-02 07:56:41 +0000 UTCTara broke my soul when she hit her hand. Been there at a dark point and it’s not easy to watch her. Feel it so strongly. Wendy coming felt like Tara was losing something else. She had already lost her hand, but now losing a son. Too much. She should have taken it out on Wendy. Nobody would question it. 🥲🥲🥲
Ashley
2023-08-02 06:25:52 +0000 UTCKozik’s death stood out to me more. Like why was there no talk about him, from Tig. The were close. Lots of history. Weird.
Ashley
2023-08-02 06:22:40 +0000 UTCThat's fair, I still watch a few other shows on Hulu and don't mind resyncing in the beginning to watch the episodes.

2023-08-02 05:50:45 +0000 UTCI always appreciated the Sons storytelling because while it is fictional the twists & turns feel natural. For example Wendy showing back up, in real life an ex reappearing doesn't wait for the perfect moment it happens when it happens. It would have been easy to not to interject this new storyline with all that is going on but that isn't this show. This show understands how to navigate chaos and create tension in a way that never feels forced. The other thing that I always appreciated is while the show definitely uses slow burning storytelling some of which spans multiple seasons (The truth about John's death) and the full season (Zobel, Irish Kidnapping), it also brilliantly adds "smaller" problems which resolve quickly so the audience gets some satisfaction or sense of resolution with those issues. Lastly none of the additions that add to the chaos feel forced , unnecessary or appear to hamper the overarching storytelling. A lot of shows struggle to get from point A to Z while telling longer stories that are meant span the full season. Sons storytelling doesn't have bottle episodes or throw away episodes that takes you out of the tension. Meaning for example we dont have flashback episodes that delve into some event that informs a characters current actions or motives because the overarching story needs filler to breakaway from the present day events.

2023-08-02 03:53:25 +0000 UTCNow that yall are pretty much done with clay fan fact is he played Hellboy
Kwame James
2023-08-02 03:49:25 +0000 UTCYou know you're losing your way when Tig... TIG of all people is the voice of reason. Clay does not seem to realize he's making the people who have had his back since forever are turning on him since he seems intent on shutting them out. When I saw Jax see how badly Clay messed up Gemma, I knew the chains of vengeance were unshackling. JT is bound to be avenged at this point. Clay just keeps on digging his own hole. I HATED Kozik's death. Him dying at some point, fine, but like that? So anti-climatic.

2023-08-02 02:58:11 +0000 UTCI love Chibs, definitely my favorite character.

2023-08-02 02:38:19 +0000 UTCBut wait…..there’s more!!😁😁
Theresa M Kelly
2023-08-02 02:32:15 +0000 UTCPotter didn’t say he understood why Otto wanted to get Lenny more privileges. Potter asked why he was doing it. Otto said “you wouldn’t understand”. Then Potter said “I wish that WEREN’T true”, aka, he wishes he did understand. Potter is just a weird dude.
Meggerz
2023-08-02 01:51:03 +0000 UTCI'm really happy yall understood how impacting Tig turnin his Sgt At Arms patch was. Also Lenny was JTs Sgt At Arms

2023-08-02 01:19:43 +0000 UTCI remember you guys didn’t like Tig in the beginning! Lol can’t wait for the next couple episodes!!

2023-08-02 00:49:07 +0000 UTCmore more more more!!
Ben Mogz
2023-08-02 00:39:18 +0000 UTCYeah I did that in order to own them. So I can just anytime watch an episode because I don’t sub Hulu except one show, one month of the year.
Ashley
2023-08-02 00:38:29 +0000 UTChonestly i live for this SoA reaction, so fucking good keep it up
BiaN
2023-08-02 00:30:03 +0000 UTCwe had an issue last episode getting Hulu to even play the episode so we will likely just buy the amazon copies because it's far more reliable of a streaming service.

2023-08-01 22:59:41 +0000 UTCHow come Amazon and not hulu anymore lol
