Sons of Anarchy Season 3 - New updates

With the premiere of Season 3 of Sons of Anarchy a mere 119 (or 126 depending on how you estimate it) days away, great yet not completely satisfying because the wait is killing me little bits of news keep emerging.

First, we have some episode titles!  There has been no word on a title for 3.01.  My guess is that The Prince of Charming Loses His Shit After The Kid was Kidnapped might be a bit too on the nose for Sons of Anarchy.  However, we know that 3.02 is titled Oiled and 3.03 is titled Caregiver.  

Second, casting news!  The Master of Darkness, Stephen King will be making an appearance on Episode 3.03   as a "quiet loner" who helps Gemma in her time of need.  Apparently King is a fan of the show.  What exactly is Gemma's need? (Get your minds out of the gutters, ya dirty pervs!  You know Gemma has the Mojave vajayjay going on.)  I'm guessing it might have something to do with her gun-happy father, general shenanigans from being on the lam with Unser, or perhaps the emergence of the mythical bounty hunter plot point.    

In addition, James Cosmo, you know... Renton's dad from Trainspotting, has been cast to play Kellan Ashby. He is an Irish priest connected to the RIRA whose character arc will last for 8 episodes.  Just a little aside here, but fucking A with the background research on Irish politics and resistance groups because Sinn Fein, the Provisional IRA, and the Real IRA are so clearly distinct, unique groups (sarcasm added).  I mean, the LSH's parents are from Dublin so it's not like I'm completely ignorant when it comes to Irish independence concerns.  Anyways, I wonder if Kellan Ashby and Maureen O'Nolastnamereleasedyet know each other.  Me thinks yes.    

In other news, sons-of-anarchy.net has the first fan photo from the Season 3 set up.  Mosie on over there and check it out if you want to see whether Charlie Hunnam still has that freaking Jesus Cobain beard.

Don't forget to fire up your credit cards and pre-order your copy of Sons of Anarchy Season 2 on DVD and BluRay.  No release date yet, naturally.  In the meantime, check of the Girl of Mayhem podcast.  She does great character analyses and some pretty serious recaps.
