Spoiler-ishy stuff

EOnline teases that the Abel babynapping storyline will drive a majority of the season and IRA leader Jimmy O (Titus Welliver) will be this season’s “Big Bad.”

Maggie Siff, who plays Tara, tells EW that when the new season kicks off September 7, we’ll pick up the action almost immediately where “Na Trioblidi” left off. “The first episode is just a couple days after the last episode, so it’s really the aftermath of the [kidnapping],” she says. “So there’s still a lot of shock involved.”

Tidbits of info from Comic-Con:

Kurt said the new season picks up a few days after Half-Sack was killed, Abel was abducted and Gemma went on the lam, and he and Charlie talked about how poorly (but unsurprisingly) Jax is handling his son’s kidnapping. Charlie said that Jax and Clay will have to put their animosities aside, because the Abel thing is bigger than the feud they had about the direction of the club.

Four episodes will take place in Belfast, though none of the actors actually went there to film.

There will be 3 new prospects introduced midway through the season to replace Half-Sack

Gemma would become even more bad-ass this year, gets “very familiar with a gun” and goes to an even angrier place. (source: HitFix)

Kurt’s explaining role of homeless woman: “She is who she is, and says what she says.” Take from that what you will. [SAMRO_BLOGGER]

SUTTERINk update

From the SutterInk blog:
All 13 episodes are broken.
A writer’s draft of 313 is being written.
[KS] is currently working on a draft of 312.
Adam Arkin is prepping 311.
Gwyneth H-Payton is directing/shooting 310.
Stephen Kay is working on his director’s cut of 309.
I’m working on my producer’s cut of 308.  This will be a 90 minute episode.
Craig Yahata, my post producer, is working on the pre-mix for 307.
306 is mixed and in layback.
305 is getting final post touches and is ready for final mix and layback.
304 is done and out to critics.
303 is mixed and waiting for a re-shoot to drop in.  A temp version is out to critics.
302 is done and out to critics.
301 is done and out to critics.  The name of the premier episode is “SO”.
The SOA iPhone app should hit the week that episode 308 airs.  It’ll make sense why.

SutterInk’s Twitter updates:

A recent tweet sheds a little more light on that iPhone app: soa iphone app will be more content than flash. provides backstory that fans would not get anywhere else. no droid/ BB app yet, maybe later.

About the emmy snub: after hearing my boss and stars at TCA, i’m no longer worried that my opinion about the emmys will hurt the show. it’s a collective blow me.

Kurt Sutter is trying to reach 12,000 followers and he’s only got about 500 more followers to go to achieve that goal. If you’re not following him yet you may want to consider it.

random news:

In a recent interview, Kurt Sutter refused to give his birthdate to the interviewer. When asked why, he commented on why he feels his age has a negative connotation for what he does.

“I wish it didn’t matter, but unfortunately it does…at a certain point when you have a big enough body of work, [age] doesn’t really matter. I’m sure David Milch and David Mamet don’t give a f*ck if people know how old they are. But I’m not there yet.”

FunnyOrDie.com says this photo depicts the reaction on Ron Perlman’s face when a fan asked him if the second season of his rough-and-tumble motorcycle drama “Sons of Anarchy” was influenced by “The Empire Strikes Back.” Whether that’s true or not, it’s still pretty funny. Heh…
