Yeah, So…Sons of Anarchy Season 4 Hit A Speedbump – Some Spoilers

I wasn’t too hot over the last episode of season 4 of Sons of Anarchy, if I’m honest. I felt like they spent the entire episode setting things up for later, which they could have done with quick scenes in the other episodes and not wasted a whole hour stirring drama that wasn’t going to come to the surface until later episodes.

X Factor ( USA ) – The Good, The Bad, The WTF?!

X Factor is an American Idol inspired show that’s been around for a while, in the UK.

Also, funny.
