Theo Rossi, stars as ‘Jean Carlos (Juice) Ortiz’ and has made appearances in such feature films as “Code Breakers,” “Last Resort” and “Cloverfield”
Well, the landscape of season three Sons of Anarchy news is fairly barren…barren like Death Valley. But, if you’re jonesing for any kind of SoA-related news, then I got what you need.
Kurt Sutter posts an SoA FAQ
Since Mr. Sutter is heavily involved in social networking these days and making himself so accessible to his fans, he hears the same questions over and over and over and over and over and over…well you get the idea. So, he decided to compile a list of FAQ’s to hopefully squelch some of those questions. You can read them over at SutterInk.
As it’s an ever-growing list I can think of one more question he should add to that list pronto: Ever thought of making Jax’s dad’s journal into an actual book?
Kurt, do yourself a favor and add that to the FAQ! (BTW-the answer to that is this: John Teller’s journal/biography is an ever-evolving document. It won’t be finished until the series ends. Then maybe it will get published.)
New SoA merchandise available
Too many sleazebags have been pirating Sons of Anarchy merchandise. Get the real stuff instead. FX added some new items to FX’s SoA store and it’s worth checking out.
top row: SoA Zippo $29.95, Samcro hoodie $42.95, SoA bandana $11.95, Men’s Teller/Morrow tee $24.95
bottom row: “Property of Redwood Original” women’s tee $24.95, Reaper Crew baseball cap $22.00, Charming Born & Bred tee $24.95
Did you know?
I doubt there are many of you that are Twilight fans, but did you know that the author of the books, Stephanie Meyer, really really wanted Charlie Hunnam (Jax Teller) to play Carlisle Cullen?
On her website she said: “Second only to Edward on my “passionately decided” list is Carlisle’s character. My favorite: Charlie Hunnam. The reason this actor was able to get such a hold on me was his work as the title character in Nicholas Nickleby. He pretty much was Carlisle in that movie.”
Hmm, well I think we’re all glad that didn’t happen!
fun in photoshop: what the cast of Twilight *could* have looked like...yeah, it looks weird to me, too.
Help Kurt Sutter reach his goal
Kurt Sutter put the call out recently: by the season 3 premier he would like 50,000 fans on his Facebook page and 12,000 on Twitter. Ok, people. You have a mission. Get going.
Well, news and details about season 3 of SOA still remain slim, but there are a few tidbits floating around out there. Last week Kurt updated his blog (in his jammies and slippers, no less) that he’s finally finding his groove getting back into the writing process:
“I’ve been back with the writers for a month now, and today was the first day I felt like I actually plugged back into the show. I finished a first draft of episode 301 this week, but it wasn’t until I mulled, sorted and boarded 302 that I felt reconnected to the process of running a show.”
Of course he didn’t leak any details about story lines, but he did end his post by saying:
“Season three of Sons of Anarchy will take us to some new and very different places — both narratively and emotionally. We will reveal some dark Teller family secrets and create a few more in the process. It was John the Apostle who said “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Clearly he never spent a weekend with Gemma Teller.”
Casting news
Taryn Manning, who played Cherry in Season 1, has been cast in the reboot of classic cop show Hawaii Five-O, which also stars Daniel Dae Kim (LOST) and Alex O’Loughlin. Kurt Sutter tweeted: “happy for taryn manning getting 5-0 gig. hopefully 3 will be the charm for les’ boy o’loughlin. bummed for soa, had an arc for cherry in S3.”
Sons of Anarchy merchandise
If you’re chomping at the bit for some SOA stuff to buy, have no fear. Kurt says “talked to the network yesterday. they r going to have LOTS MORE SOA MERCHANDISE for sale. on the website and IN STORES. i’ll keep you posted.” SA-WEET. Now be patient and stop buying those knock off t-shirts…
SOA knockoff t-shirt: if you're buying this crap...stop it. Stop it right now.
Extracurricular activities
Anybody catch Katey Sagal reprise her role as Helen on Lost? She and Terry O’quinn are two of the best actors on TV right now…
Katey Sagal on LOST (screencap from lost-media.com)
And lastly, we all know that Charlie Hunnam wrote a script for a movie based on Vlad the Impaler, which traces Dracula’s days back to when he was a wee impaler…
Vlad the Impaler
The script was picked up by Summit Entertainment, who we can thank for bringing us the Twilight franchise (take that with as much or as little sarcasm as you like) and now writer Scott Kosar (The Machinist and soon to be released The Crazies) has been asked to take a stab at it. The film is being produced by Mr. I-own-fifty-bazillion-expensive-motorcycles Brad Pitt.
If you got the scoop on some info, spoilers or news about Season 3 of Sons of Anarchy, feel free to leave a comment!
I’m not a huge Cypress Hill fan. Nor am I a stoner. But the biker-style video for “It Ain’t Nothin’” off of Cypress Hill’s upcoming album Rise Up (to be released April 6th) looks awfully familiar! I think someone’s been watching a lotta Sons of Anarchy…
OK, it’s been a few months since the end of season 2. We had the holidays to distract us from our separation anxiety. And a lot of us have season 1 on dvd, which gets us through the empty voids of bikes, sex & violence. But the majority of us like to look to the future and so we wait like hungry dogs for any scrap of meaty info about the upcoming season of Sons of Anarchy.
So what do we already know? We know that season three will be back in September and that Kurt Sutter is already back in the writing room. And that he has offered “Coco” a guest spot on the show, which would be surreal but awesome!
I’ve casually scraped my news reader and perused the usual spoilerish sites that would have some juicy morsels to share. I’m not claiming that I am the end all, be all source of SoA news, but here’s a lil sumpthin’ sumpthin’:
From EpisodeInfo:
In an interview conducted with NJ.com, [Kurt] Sutter said that in the 3rd season he wants “to take them into a world that is outside their own, where they don’t have any control, where they are subject to other people’s laws and beliefs and parameters, where they aren’t quite the big fish in the small pond.”
Sons of Anarchy Season 3 Character Spoilers (Buddy TV):
Chief Unser: According to TV Guide, Unser will step down from his post next season, consequently leaving Hale as Deputy Chief. Series creator Kurt Sutter hints that Hale will be put on a tight spot on Sons of Anarchy season 3 and is forced to make tough decisions just as Unser did in the past.
“Unser came to understand… that you have to create relationships with these gangs and turn the other way sometimes and set parameters,” Sutter explained. “You can’t go by the letter of the law or you’re f—-d. Hale [will] have to learn those lessons and how much he’s willing to bend.”
Jax: Losing baby Abel will definitely affect Jax and his relationship with Tara on Sons of Anarchy Season 3. Series creator Kurt Sutter says he wants to “explore what happens to a couple when they’re faced with a tragedy like that….To be honest with you, I don’t know where it’s going to go. Does Tara blame herself? Does Tara blame Jax? Does Jax blame Tara? But that will be a very real dynamic in their relationship.”
Sons of Anarchy episode 2.3 "Fix"
From E! Online:
Kurt Sutter just headed back into the writers’ room and would only tell us this of season three: “I have a baby to find, and that’s all I know.” As for Gemma’s future as an outlaw, Katey Sagal doesn’t seem too worried. “I don’t think it will alter the family bond, but there are so many things that have to be addressed,” she explains. “Gemma obviously doesn’t know what’s happened to her grandson, and she’ll probably go insane when she finds out. I wouldn’t put anything past her. I’m sure she’ll take care of business.”

Here’s to wishing everyone a happy New Year and thanks to you guys for hanging with Rippin-Kitten.com this year. It’s been a stellar year for the site and am looking forward to making next year an even better one!
I tend to get sentimental at the end of the year and I like to reflect back to see how things played out. Looking at the top posts for 2009, it’s pretty obvious that a little television show called Sons of Anarchy exploded not only on the biker subculture, but on the mainstream culture as well.
Twitter was another thing that blew up this year. I made a ton of great new friends that I converse with frequently and built up a substantial list of followers. So thank you guys for that. A highlight was getting the notification: Kurt Sutter is now following you on Twitter. Hell yeah!
So let’s take a look back at the most trafficked posts of this year!
I’ve been avoiding writing this post because I don’t want to admit that the season is over and this is my last recap post for this year. But holy schmoly, what a great episode to end a phenomenal season!
Episode 2.13 “Na Trioblóidí”
Na Trioblóidí means “the Troubles” in Gaelic.
As SAMCRO attempts to rid Charming of Ethan Zobelle and The League permanently, familiar faces present new challenges.
“Adjust and adapt, just like we always do.” – Ethan Zobelle
Sons of Anarchy season finale: Na Trioblóidí
The good:
the blatant foreshadowing of the rats feeding on the dead crow in the opening shot. Genius.
Zobelle’s not only a scum bag, he’s an FBI rat. Did you love his MC motorcade as he’s released from jail?
Unser feeding info to Weston and the motivation behind it. Conversely, Hale’s confession to Weston is equally as gratifying, even though he still tries to land on the right side of the law.
the (literal) Mexican stand-off on Main St.
Otto’s revenge
The surprisingly sad send-off of AJ Weston.
Warm fuzzies between Jax & Clay over the bloodshed
The Bitch is Back: Agent Stahl unleashes a major shit storm. In her defense I’d shoot anyone who punched me in the ovaries, too.
Even though Stahl is setting her up to take the fall, I like the interchange between her and Gemma
the highway scene where they go after cowardly Zobelle
RIP Half-Sack. (Saw that coming last week with all the talk of patching him in). Poor kid.
“I need you.”
Zobelle…got away? Inconceivable!
Gemma’s on the lamb with Wayne Unser. Classic.
Abel’s abduction.
The not-so good:
After all the time that has gone by it seems weird that that Gemma would pick this moment to go after Polly. But I do love her gun-toting stance as she walks through the door, aims the gun and juts her hip out to one side. So badass.
Tara’s paralyzed inaction when Cameron shows up at the house. WTF?? She’s not a damsel in distress (as was clearly defined last week). When Cameron stuck Sack with the knife, you’d think she would have done something to stop him (especially since the gun was not in his hand). You know if it was Gemma in that situation, Cameron would’ve been castrated before he even knew what hit him. And letting Cameron take Abel? Oh HELL NO!
Holy mother of all cliffhangers! I should have known better than to expect the season to be wrapped up in a neat little package, but a silly part of me wanted that gratifying television cliche to come to fruition. But this is Kurt Sutter’s show and he isn’t about to give us a neat and tidy season finale. In fact, it was pretty fricking messy all around.
I wanted the League folks to get what they deserved. Let’s face it, Weston: not a nice guy. Polly: not a nice girl. But the bathroom scene with Weston was ugly enough without the addition of his kid being present. Weston was a total shitbag, but a shitbag that, in his own twisted way, loved his brainwashed, anti-semetic kids. And as for Polly, I wasn’t sad to see her go, but I wish it wasn’t at Gemma’s expense. I know…it sets up a lot for season 3.
The final few minutes of the show takes us from long-festering, hell-bent revenge to a heart-crushing kidnapping. Normally, a kidnapping event is a fairly innocuous plot device done a million times over. But the fact that the abductee in this situation is a teacup human mere months old that is as helpless as helpless can get, is what makes it so much more impactful.
Seeing little Abel, legitimately crying as he’s placed on the boat by a vengeful stranger, got me where it counts. Tears! Tears in my eyes, people! This essentially thrusts SAMCRO head-long into a crisis they’re completely inadequate to deal with. Guns, drugs, porn…no problem. But this? No way.
At the end they totally have a what the fuck just happened to us? look on their faces. They look like they just got donkey-punched in the balls. Without Gemma there to help them cope and devise a plan, you gotta wonder what they’re going to do. And we have to wait a whole year to find out!
Ratings:
The finale was cable’s #1 program for the night, with 4.33 million total viewers and 2.99 million adults 18 to 49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode was the most-watched ever for “Sons,” surpassing its Season Two premiere, which drew 4.29 million total viewers.
The finale was also the top-rated show on television in the 10 p.m. time period among men 18 to 49, or 1.92 million, and men 18 to 34, or 1.09 million, beating all three broadcast networks.
FX, Fox 21 and 20th placed this ad in all the trades
And as everyone probably knows by now, the network has ordered 13 episodes for the show’s third season, which is scheduled to begin in September 2010 (yippee!!). Also Kurt Sutter reached a deal on a two-year extension to continue his services as showrunner/writer on the show. The cast of regulars are also set to return next season.
I could go on and on about this show but I’ll refrain. I would like to sincerely thank Kurt Sutter for writing a tremendous season and creating a show, about bikers no less, that makes me feel a little smarter while watching typically brain-numbing tv. It makes me want to crack open his skull and lick his brain. Which probably sounds icky, but the sentiment is sincere.
Instead, I’ll keep following him on Twitter until he gets bored with me and count down the days until September 2010.
The entire SAMCRO family goes on lockdown inside the clubhouse as Jax and Clay prepare to battle The League. A.J. Weston learns the truth about Ethan Zobelle’s business dealings in Charming. Applying what she has learned from Gemma, Tara ensures her position at St. Thomas Hospital.
“I get it now. God wants me to be a fierce mother. That’s my path.” – Gemma
The good:
Pulling up the gates & manning battle stations at the SAMCRO fortress. You can see the strength in Clay as he speaks to everyone and understand why he’s the club leader.
the club giving Half-Sack some props and potential patch-in. Ah, foreshadowing…
how easy it was for AJ Weston to be turned against Zobelle. “We’re here to educate, not provoke.” Weston’s one crazy mofo!
Chucky’s back with the truth of what happened to Cara Cara
the high ICK factor of Zobelle confronting Polly of her “afternoon delight” with Edmund. And WHAT was up with that kiss he planted on her?? *shudder*
more pressure on an already ticking bomb when Weston’s kids get repo’d
I love the scene of Tara & Gemma discussing God and their paths in life.
Jimmy O’s ruthlessness
dead rats. Coulda been you, Chibs!
Gemma’s influence rubbing off on Tara. She finally standing up for herself! Love the exclamation point at the end of the encounter when she pulls the gun out of her bag. Awesomeness.
GEMMA! Seriously. I love her. Especially when she calls Chuck “Stumpy.” (oh and it looks like “Porn Girl” Lilah has been accepted into the family)
Love the old skool rumble and how the alliance with the Asians and the OneNiners plays out. Henry Rollins brings a lot to the table with vitriolic Weston this episode. He’s not generally known for his acting abilities, but you gotta give him props here.
That last intense scene inside the cigar shop. Clay’s understandable brutality towards Polly & Zobelle, Hale’s panicked uncertainty, Unser’s straddling of the fine line here and SAMCRO gets jipped as Zobelle takes the easy way out, getting himself and his daughter arrested. You want to hit him with a cast iron skillet when you see the smug look on his face as he’s led past Clay.
The overall amazing use of music in this episode. Talk about evoking emotions. Wow.
The not-so good:
This is the last we see of Titus Welliver’s Jimmy O this season
only ONE episode left!
Sons of anarchy news
Ratings: Surprisingly the numbers were down slightly this week, according to TV by the Numbers. It was still the number one cable show with adults 18-49 for the night.
Next week:
Episode 2.13 “Na Triobliodi” It’s here! The 90 minute Season 2 finale! The second season ends with SAMCRO trying to get rid of Ethan Zobelle and his cohorts once and for all.
Chibs makes a secret deal with Agent Stahl in order to protect his wife and daughter. Opie learns the true circumstances that led to Donna’s death and seeks both revenge and reconciliation.
“The outlaw had mercy.” -Opie
Sons of Anarchy season 2 episode 11 "Service"
The subtitle to this episode should have been True Confessions of the Sons of Anarchy. Wow. Everyone has laid their cards out on the table this week and things have now gotten verrrry interesting.
The good:
Gemma’s gamble pays off and the Jax/Clay rift is closed and sealed tightly. I got the warm fuzzies seeing Clay holding Abel while they discussed killing their enemies…
Tara’s diarrhea-of-the mouth string of openess to Jax. I actually had to giggle at her moment of craziness.
the sticky groping make-out scene with Tig & Gemma that says so much without saying anything at all. Tig needs to feel something other than guilt, Gemma needs to know that someone still desires her after she convinced herself that Clay will reject her since she was violated.
Tig’s inevitable guilt-consumed moment of spilling the beans. I wanted Opie to beat on him a little more, not take off after the blame was placed on Agent Stahl. But if he didn’t go after her he’d never have found out about Chibs’ deal
I love how all the various plot points are beginning to come together, like when Jax realizes that Zobelle is in bed with the Mayans and the implications of that partnership.
Opie’s confrontation with Stahl had me on the edge of my seat, especially when he handed her the empty magazine. Whoa. Ally Walker’s performance was great in this scene.
Gemma’s flirtation with religion boils down to the poignant conversation she has with the priest, which I would say directly impacts the scene she shares with Chibs later on. In fact, this episode it’s reiterated that she is *the* female epicenter of the club.
the “Guy-Love” scene with Opie and Jax. So glad to see them getting along again.
Ryan Hurst. Good lord he is great.
Clay, in a sense, is starting to “get it.” Finally.
The not-so good:
I kind of expected Jimmy O. to be more full of piss & vinegar during the chat with Clay. Perhaps this is a quiet facet of the character.
As much as I love how Opie handled everything with thought and quiet rage, didn’t you just want to see him go bat shit ballistic on everyone? But of course, that would be too obvious of a reaction for this show, right?

Ratings: Update: TV by the Numbers says:Tuesday night’s Sons of Anarchy tied The Jay Leno Show with a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating and beat ABC’s the forgotten (1.8). Tuesdays are Jay Leno’s best ratings of the week, too (so yeah, SOA’s 18-49 numbers beat the Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday airings of The Jay Leno Show).

This is a carry over from last week, but deserves to be repeated. If you’re on Twitter, a fan of the show and not following Kurt Sutter, then you’re doing yourself a disservice. He’s not only a direct line to the show itself, but he’s also candid, frank, brutally honest and still somewhat approachable (if you’re respectful and not a babbling idiot). He’s looking to build his Twitter followers, since there’s no official Twitter account for SoA.
There’s even some incentive: “loving the power of twitter. no SOA twitter account, so help me grow Sutterink. want 5213 followers by the finale. signed scripts for number(s) 3666, 4069, 5213.“
As of today’s post he is up to 4059 followers, so start following @sutterink and you could win a signed script!
Sons of Anarchy: Most Shocking Moments TV Without Pity has posted a photo gallery of them.
Next week:
Episode 2.12 “The Culling” The entire SAMCRO family goes on lockdown inside the clubhouse as Jax and Clay prepare to battle The League. A.J. Weston learns the truth about Ethan Zobelle’s business dealings in Charming. Applying what she has learned from Gemma, Tara ensures her position at St. Thomas Hospital.
An extra-long episode billed as a 90 minute show is really about 54 minutes of content. If you don’t like extra commercial breaks then you might want to consider watching the next 90 minute episode (season finale) from your TiVo or DVR.
Agent Stahl takes notice at the handsome profits SAMCRO is reaping from the repo business. Meanwhile, the Jax-Clay standoff forces Gemma to make a difficult decision.
“This is just a detour on a very long road.” -Jax
Opie in episode 2.10 "Balm"
The good:
Piney makes a poignant return
Chibs giving the ATF a heart-attack when he confronts Edmund about the guns and HELLO TITUS, I mean, Jimmy O!
I am liking Agent Stahl this season for her cheeky yet no bullshit approach
learning the amount of damage that Jimmy O has caused in Chibs’ life (not to mention how diabolical he truly is when talking about Chibs’ daughter. Ewww.) “We both know he’s the devil.”
the scene where Jax & Gemma discuss him going Nomad is so amazing. As my Twitter friend, @robdale tweeted to me: “one of the most subtle SOA scenes is when Gemma asks Jax if he was going to tell her about going Nomad. She tells him to sit down. He goes into her office and sits down and removes his hat. Suddenly, he is just a boy talking to his mom.”
brass and fungi
Chibs’ limits pushed beyond his control
when Jax apologizes to Clay for assuming he was responsible for the fire at Caracara, Clay is less than responsive. It’s a juxtaposition of the prior scene with Gemma: she’s Jax’s loving mother who will do what it takes to keep him around. Clay is the evil step-dad that wants to remove a giant obstacle, which at this point is Jax.
“It’s cowarm!“
the minute Gemma says to Unser “you need to protect the club” we know exactly what she plans to do. And it made me squirm in my seat.
Opie’s coming out of the death spiral he was in, even if it’s a result of getting involved with a coke-head porn star. Think it’ll last?
Tig & Halfsack’s very different experiences on the “serious fungi”
I have no words that could do justice to the final scene of Gemma’s confession to Jax & Clay. The acting is so unbelievable in the most subtle way possible: through their eyes. Tara’s silent encouragement. Clay’s realization of the suffering his wife has been going through. Jax’s hurt and anger that someone could defile his mother so completely.
The stillness of the scene is what makes it so powerful. You can feel the tension in the room and the stunned silence of everyone when Gemma drops this bomb on them. That they didn’t react in what could have been formulaic television drama makes it so much more powerful (sure Jax has that one outburst slamming his hand on the table, but let’s cut him some slack. He’s had an incredibly shitty day that just got an assload worse).
I guarantee there wasn’t a dry eye in anyone’s house after Jax gets up and takes his mother’s hands in his own.
And the irony is that this one act that Zoebelle thought would tear SAMCRO apart will actually have the opposite effect. If Gemma had told them straight out right after it happened, the outcome might have been what Zobelle was counting on. We’ll never know. She kept it secret for so long to maintain the club’s stability. By picking the moment before it almost fell apart irrevocably would hopefully bring Jax & Clay back together. It was a big gamble on her part and when Jax grabs his patches on his way out of the door, it looks like it’s going to pay off.
The not-so good:
We still don’t know whether Chucky or Darby died in the fire at Caracara. I’m assuming this info will be revealed in the near future.
Poor Tara, despite doing right by her man and the club, she still gets cornholed at the hospital by being put on suspension
Abel. It’s a nitpicky thing but we all know that kids take up a lot more time than this kid does. He must sleep a lot. And spend a lot of time with the nanny.
Only 3 episodes left of the season!
The interesting:
For a second time, Jax is referred to as the “Prince”-this time by Agent Stahl.
Does Gemma really think that John Teller committed suicide or does she know that he was murdered by Clay?
Opie twice makes reference to Clay as Jax’s “father”. At first I thought that he was so wrapped up in his own familiar turmoil that he was trying to imprint it on everyone else, but in watching it again it occurred to me that he’s trying to use the father/son bond (as loose as it is) to remind Clay & Jax of the basic nature of their relationship. This reminder, on top of the anvil that Gemma dropped on them at the end of the episode, helps build the bridge that closes the rift between them.
Good GOD if Katey Sagal doesn’t get some sort of Emmy nod it will be a crime! The show itself has already been overlooked for a People’s Choice Award…
I think Charlie Hunnam needs a nod for his performance as well. Katey Sagal is so good as Gemma that she can overshadow others easily. In “Balm” Charlie has takes Jax and boils him down to what he really is: a scared kid. He looks to his elders for advice all episode long. He finds some solid advice from Gemma and Bobby. But twice he’d gone to the only father figure he has looking for acceptance, and twice he was shot down. Clearly the decision to go Nomad was not something he truly wanted to do, evident by the dejected look on Jax’s face after the vote is unanimous for him to go. He had hoped that the club would fight for him to stay. And then of course there’s that final scene…whew! Nice job.
Sons of anarchy news
I’m keeping the news aspect light this week since my observations of the episode were so lengthy.
Ratings TV by the Numbers reports that the 90 minute episode averaged 3.38 million viewers, making it basic cable’s most watched show in primetime with adults 18-49. Compared to its season one average, Sons has shown an increase of 64% in total viewers.
