Still kind of haunted by Shane's final scene where he buys the flowers for his wife and the toy truck for his kid then has them drink the Kool Aid. Disturbing. The choices he made that led him to that point.

Won't forget Ronnie's final scene where he was taken into custody and realized Vic had betrayed him. He was a dead man walking on his way to prison.

Hard to forget Vic's final scene where he is put in his own special kind of prison, stuck behind a desk. Anybody else think he was about to go all vigilante in that final scene?

Hitting the Money Train from the Armenian mob was such a great caper...and the downfall of everybody on the Strike Team. In the end, I felt bad for Vic & crew. Yeah, he was a criminal, but he only ripped off the criminals and went out of his way to put scumbags and predators behind bars or in the ground.

Such a good show.

You just KNOW that Vic weaseled out of his deal somehow and eventually found his family.

Every time I rewatch the series, when I get to the part where they first find the money train I always yell at my tv "NO JUST CALL IT IN! ITS NOT WORTH IT"

I felt horrible for Ronnie. He knew something bad was going to happen if they didn't go on the run. Him yelling "we were going to run together" while being taken into custody was the next biggest haunting thing of that episode next to the suicide part.

Billings sure screwed that up for him


The production team allowed Dutch's character to get his revenge, though - Billings' lawyer, that he had no luck with (so he called her a bitch d*ke) and made the moves on Dutch at the end - she was played by Dutch's (Jay Carnes) IRL wife, Julia Campbell.

I loved the evolution of Ronnie's character though

Ronnie was always a great character, but the development of his character was huge in the last 2 seasons.

I enjoyed Sons of Anarchy through the second to the last episode of season two. Hated the last episode that year & the four or five episodes I watched in season three. Quit watching after that.

yeah, i agree the season 2 finale shite the bed, and the belfast visit in season 3 drags on too long...just watch the "previously on..." bits until the last 2 eps. the season 3 finale kicks arse & almost makes up for everything, IMO....

Gonna have to agree with this. Majority of the board will say season 3 was the best.
