I absolutely hated her character. Especially when Jax’s lady friend comes into the picture.

Yeah, if you think you hate her now it’s nothing on the shite she does the rest of the show.

Once you focus on Jax's shoes, you will never not see them. Those are the cleanest shoes in television history.

Everything gets worse. Except for the parts when Jax has a big decision to make. Those are really intense. Who am I kidding, it's a sh*t show.

I've thought about starting SoA a few times....is she worse than Skylar White from BB?


I'd probably give the edge to this character since she's not only annoying but manipulative and evil. She also has a weird complex with her son where she doesn't want him to be with another woman.

Let's not forget the music montages.

I watched the last episode when it aired just to ruin it for myself if I ever started watching the show.

Never did.

Yes. People stand really close to each other and talk in their really low registers all badass and stuff.

Occasionally there's a mass gunfight where absolutely no one gets hurt.

I eventually finished it but by the end I was hate watching it.

it's funny you mention that because that was my first thought during the few gunfights I've seen. Like guys are 10 feet from each other and no one gets hit

I gave up on that show when the writing all of a sudden became horrible

Just remember when watching it. Anytime they make a trip up the highway to Oakland, at least one person is about to die there.

But that's a part of why her character is interesting, right? It infuriates you, pisses you off, disappoints you, isn't that the point an actress is trying to accomplish? Half the characters in Nomad are the same, Huntress, etc. The tropes were created thousands of years ago by the Greeks, Shakespeare, and plenty of people before. Yet Peggy Bundy is where you draw the line on characters? You haven't watched any Game of Thrones, have you?

Tried to do a rewatch a while back, and the show doesn’t really stand up. Didn’t make it very far.

Near the end of the series his accent was coming through in his lines.

I was watching the Liverpool match this morning. There was an advert on the pitch (field) for what were essentially Adidas with steel toes for construction work. I was aghast that this was a thing, but it makes a little more sense now.

Boots or bust.

When it first came out I was damn hard into it. Maybe because the kids were little and I needed a good watch escape, but it had some great high points. Like, stay up another hour until 3 am to watch.
But definitely hate watching the last season and glad to be done.
Tried a rewatch but didn’t make it a whole episode.

No. And neither does anyone else.
