Sons Of Anarchy - S01E02: Seeds

Okay, 'Seeds' is the real name for the second episode of Sons Of Anarchy, the first episode was named 'Pilot' - sorry for the confusion, there were conflicting ideas about the episode titles all over the internet.

Seeds continues as a very similar episode to the pilot; with little development, and the establishment of many of the same plots again - but I thought it was just as fun as the pilot - if not more - and had a good amount of emotion - specifically the ending.

Outside law enforcement find the bodies under the wreckage of the storage house. Clay decides they should have somebody killed out of town so the forensics team are delayed, giving them time to dispose of the bodies. Jax is unhappy with this and figures they can dump some bodies from a morgue (where he has a contact) out of town and make it look like they were killed. This seems like a lot more trouble than just ordering a hit - but the gang go for it - well done, Jax. This storyline is a lot of fun and features: grave digging, pissing off a policeman, and creating a fake crime scene, and an axe in the back of a guy's head.

Gemma has another similar run in with Tara - but they are slightly more aggressive this time. Gemma also runs into Opie's wife who doesn't have enough money to pay for her groceries. Gemma buys them for her but she refuses them (refuses the club) - she wants nothing to do with Sam Crow; as she said, she married Opie, not the club - she is a strong woman, and stands up to Gemma even when Gemma seems somewhat nicer and less pushy.

There is a local law enforcement guy, David Hale, who is bound to be the thorn in Clay's and the clubs side. Clay successfully attempts to keep his current aging police contact (Dayton Callie from Deadwood and John From Cincinnati) in the force for a little longer, but as Hale said, he is just delaying the inevitable.

This episode was just as good as the pilot, if not better. The ending had a very Sopranos-esque feel - the scene was happy, as the gang joined together for a group dinner with smiles all around - it also had that reflective quality that the Sopranos episode endings seem to possess.
