Going back to Sons of Anarchy, here's some good (and shocking) news:

FX's "Sons of Anarchy" came roaring back to record ratings Tuesday night.

The second season premiere hit a series high by a mile, growing 94% (!!!) in the adult demo compared to its first season premiere.

"Sons" was seen by 4.3 million viewers and earned a 2.8 demo rating.

That represents the largest season two premiere gain for any series in FX's history ("The Shield" returned to a 3% increase and "Nip/Tuck" had a 33% gain).

This is great news for FX, a network that's doggedly stuck to its quality shows brand even as its veteran dramas have inevitably sagged and newer efforts have underwhelmed. For those looking to get into "Sons," or who checked out its lackluster pilot and dismissed the rest, here's a recommendation: start with episode seven.

last night's ep was amazing. I can't wait to see what happens. Gemma is going to fuck someone's shit UP.

p.s. - how hysterical was the Prospect asking "you weren't serious, were you?"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I knew you'd understand.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But I wish Joan a happier life than she has, and certainly than she will have if circumstances force that situation.

There's almost no way that can happen for Joan until she gets a toehold in the coming feminist revolution. Obviously there's no happiness in this impending marriage. There will be fallout from that she'll have to deal with. It'll be a while for Joan.

I don't she'll room with Peggy. They'd drive each other nuts. They respect each other but they really think and operate differently.

Oh, please tell me it's not just a blond thing with Hardison.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Did the names Hilts and Bagley refer to anything in particular?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, please tell me it's not just a blond thing with Hardison.

He's allowed to find more than one woman sexy, isn't he?

Did the names Hilts and Bagley refer to anything in particular?

I'm sure they did, but I have no idea what.

That would have been better if I hadn't guessed she was his daughter as soon as she got called Gigi, and if TNT hadn't spoiled that Jeri was a grifter (I already knew, but why did they have to say so in their promo before the final segment?)

I would have been pissed if I hadn't known.

I was afraid they were going to be playing the "Isn't Jeri Ryan sexy?" thing all night, which they didn't, thankfully.

I knew that there was something up with Jeri's character, it was so out of character. I like that they didn't bring back Sophie, but they ackowledged that they needed a grifter.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I knew something was up when she first appeared. Her interaction between Nate and the daughter reminded me of Sophie in the Nigerian Job.
