I wonder how often the princes of outlaw motorcycle clubs go clubbing.

So, I have recently begun watching Sons of Anarchy, and I love it. The characterization is excellent, I like the allusions to Shakespeare (though they do oversell them a bit), and I love that they don't seem to forget what they did a season or two earlier. A coherent, overarching plot concept is not something I take for granted anymore.

Perhaps I will have actually substantial things to say about the show at some point... but this is not that point. ;-) Now, I just have two random (and entirely unspoilery) remarks about the lead actor.

For one thing: OMG, the MC's prince, Jax Teller, is that incredibly annoying twink of a one-night-stand that just would. not. go. away. from Queer as Folk! I would never ever have spotted this on my own.


The twink:





The outlaw biker:







Someone grew up nice. And joined an outlaw motorcycle club. Bet that's a winner in the gay club scene. ;-)

And for another thing: Dear Charlie Hunnam, I say this with love, but you might want to consider that not every emotion is best conveyed by earnestly shaking your head. In some scenes I'm concerned you'll get dizzy, or come down with a neck cramp.

(I'm currently in the middle of S4, so please don't spoil me!)

I watched two season of SOA without making the connection to Queer As Folk and even when the IMDB confirmed it, I was still 'what? no way' :D
He did grow up nice, I agree!
Also, so many actors from Deadwood, it's like 'collect the whole set' at SOA.

I couldn't believe it either! Even directly comparing the pictures doesn't help. It's amazing how much difference a few years make. :-)

Heee, really? I haven't seen Deadwood, so that is lost on me...
