Sons of Anarchy Season 1 Episode 4

This is the episode that brought this show down from a solid 8 to a 1 for me. When Jacks pulls the Mayans into an ambush at the Devils' club house, there are probably 15 SOA guys with pistols and shotguns shooting at the mayans from 15-20 meters tops, and what's the result? Not a single causalty. This has completely ruined the show's credibility. It's now a kid's show in my eyes, and I won't be watching another episode. It's a shame on what could've been a really good show. The person who wrote this episode needs to be fired.

At first I was resistant to the addition of Agent Kohn (played by The Shield's Jay Karnes), but I liked every scene that he was in. The writers are really taking their time to flesh out all the relationships and Agent Kohn's presence is no different. He's already following Samcro around and building a case, and they sure give him one in this episode by having an all out gun battle with the Mayans in Nevada.





The interaction with Gemma and Tara continues to be great, they're either going to be even greater enemies in the future or may friends. I like watching these two strong women go at it, neither really willing to back down. The show is also slowly building the divide between Jax and Clay. I'm still not completely behind Jax yet, but the fact that he instigated the gun battle for the sole purpose of making sure that the newly patched over Nevada division of SoA had temporary protection against the Mayans was a bold move, and clearly goes against Clay. Clay has every right to be worried!





The Good: Agent Kohn's absolute amazement at the gun battle was priceless!


- Tig getting bit in the butt (by a dog) was hilarious, and Juice fed the dog crank! Ahh what a moron!





The Bad: The nickname 'half sack'





The Ugly: I didn't really get into the whole side story of the how to become a member of the Samcro's 'old lady'





Bottom line: This show is really starting to come into it's own, and it's a pleasure to watch it each week!
