SOA is fucking horrible

in every way.  Bottom of the barrel writing, both character and story.  Stupid situations; not ridiculous, but stupid.  Stock audience manipulation. Poor acting.  The weird thing about it was how strapped the technical teams seemed to be.  There was one scene where it was a bloodbath in a whorehouse, and the blood looked like pancake syrup, which it probably is, but it doesn't usually look like pancake syrup after the effects team screws with it.  And the blood splatter on the walls looked like 15-second hold sprays from spraypaint and the subsequent drips.  The worst excuse for an aftermath I've ever seen.  A high school talent show zombie skit would look better than SoA effects.  "This episode's special effects budget is $12.  Have at it."

I don't mind the soap opera elements of any show.  Nearly all great art and story revolves around human interaction and relationships.  Whether it is done well or interestingly is the key.  A lot of TV writing depends on trite audience manipulation and bait/switch information.  They're the lazy approach to drama.  Kurt Sutter is a complete hack of a writer.

i don't really give a shit about special effects but yeah the show is bad.

[holy ghost]

I gave up on Walking Dead after a season, but I did all of SOA and AHS. The last season in the hotel was sensationally entertaining, even if there were tangential storylines that made literally zero sense in context to the series....

The asylum one ruled too. But the coven one was painful to watch, not in a good way.

Agreed. Totally didn't buy that that guy was drowning in a bathtub full of real piss.

I'd much rather prefer to practically drown in female piss myself in my own bath tub, now that's what I call livin!

the North East seem to be the main focus of biker feuds in Italy.
in the past few years there have been massive brawls, devastating attacks in full view (with many cops hurt), ambushes, murders...

when I spent long time in the area around 10 years agio, some of the 81ers were often hanging around in the same pub I was going ever now and then and they definitely looked threatening.

but also other clubs have people you don't want to mess with.

reminds me of the UK exploitation/horror film 'psychomania' this time around, soon to be reissued by the British film institute.
