...Not that it matters much, since nobody around here seems to watch that show.  (Don't know why.  It's quite good.  And has hot guys, besides.)


Anyway.  I am seriously starting to ship Jax and Hale — the deputy police chief — I think.  And it's not just that authority figure/outlaw is my [not-so-]secret kink.  They're also both pretty... and boy, they hate each other.  (Well, more accurately, Sam Crow (the local SoA charter) hates non-corrupt law enforcement, and said law enforcement hates them; but that's pretty close.)

It's a lovely combination.

It's actually a bit strange for me to start developing a slash OTP so early into a series — considering I usually stick to het when it comes to most television.  And when I do rarely start liking a slashy pairing, half the time it'll get Jossed by one character leaving or something; or ( slight Nip/Tuck spoilerCollapse )

Sorry, rant over.  My uh, point is... it's kinda weird.  And I don't know if it'll last.  But right now, I love the idea of them together.  I mean, I don't kid myself that anything will ever happen in canon to lend merit to this pairing — beyond a lot more glaring and banter (and maybe even a fistfight or two... mmm), which can always be interpreted as UST.  But if there's fic out there about them?  Prefarably having hot, angly hate!sex... especially if there's dub-con...  I would read it in a heartbeat.

*resists running off to look for it this very moment*


...And I get that we're all supposed to ship Jax with whatshername, the doctor.  Maybe I will, eventually.  I do kinda like her, and I guess she and Jax could be sweet together... but I don't really see a ton of appeal at this point.  Maybe it's that I missed the first two episodes — I mean, in the ones I've seen, they've barely said two words to each other.

Meanwhile?  ( Spoilers for SoA 1x03: Patch Over Collapse )

I know I like it, but I'm not sure how much: at least enough to definitely see the next couple episodes, but not enough yet to set it on my TiVo to manual deletion.

It does remind me somewhat of Oz — and not just for the obvious reasons — which is certainly a good sign.  It has potential (and a definite HBO vibe, despite being on FX).  Feels like some good character drama...  Plus, I've always enjoyed plots involving criminal/authority tensions, as well as gang and/or racial conflicts and such.  Oh, and Wikipedia says it's loosely based on Hamlet, which is pretty cool.

Also?  The guy that plays Jax is rather hot.  So there is that.


So, anybody else out there watch this show?  Wanna talk about it?  Tell me what I've missed so far?  ...Or hey, if you've got nothing else to say — tell me what you are watching.  I'm sorta curious.
