Clearing the Decks

A quick round up and catch up on the Sons of Anarchy news from the last few weeks.....

The Sons of Anarchy panel at Comic-Con was a success and in spite of it being short on information, we did learn that there will be three (3!) new prospects.  Video clips of the panel is available in three parts: a One,  a Two, and a Three.  Sons-of-Anarchy.net has assembled some pretty great photos from Comic-Con so go check those out.  Speaking of photos, how's this candid from Show Patrol's coverage of Comic-Con for charming (pun intended)?
Also, there were great interviews with Charlie HunnamKatey Sagal, Ron Perlman, and Kurt Sutter that are worth a look-see if you haven't watched them yet.

The FX panel at the Television Critics Association convention/meeting/whatever invoked the term unshaven hero to describe the characters and narrative arcs in Sons of Anarchy.  Wondering what is going to drive Season 3?  Sweet Baby Able, it's about Able!  For a great round up on cast quotes from the TCA even, including Maggie Siff's fantastic musings on Tara's loneliness, click here.    

A few newsy loose ends...

  • Photos from the appearances by Katey Sagal and Charlie Hunnam at Outlaw Jam.  
  • @Culvercat's Twitpic photostream of on-set pictures is awesome. 
  • Uh, a Cloris Leachman appearance on SOA? I vote for T.I. instead.
  • A first look of Stephen King on the SOA set.
  • The Big Bad this season is Jimmy O.  Duh.  (Sidenote:  That has got to be one of the most oddly written interviews/profiles of Kurt Sutter ever. I think that reporter needs to have her BFA in creative writing revoked.  If anyone from the FX PR shop is reading this, my dream interview for Kurt Sutter would be with Terry Gross on Fresh Air so MAKE IT HAPPEN ALREADY).  
  • Uh, the net result of Season 3 is to press the reset button for Season 4.  I'm not real sure what to make of that but it kinda makes my stomach hurt.

  1. Awesome thanks for all the links. Oh and Terry Gross doing a Kurt interview would be the BEST!

  2. Wouldn't it? I think she's mentioned how much she enjoys Sons of Anarchy on the show when she discusses tv with her resident critic. We need to start a petition or something.
