“Sons of Anarchy”: Foreign-language episode titles nothing new

December 4, 2012 StayTuned Staff

Tonight’s Season 5 finale of Sons of Anarchy goes by the strange title of “J’ai Obtenu Cette,” which translates from French to “I Have Obtained This.” (Or perhaps more appropriately, “I got this.”) It’s just the latest in a healthy line of episode titles that the writers and producers have seen fit to put in a foreign tongue. Whether it’s just for effect, or if there is some special relevance to the plot, it’s undoubtedly one more thing that makes the unrelenting biker drama so compelling. Here’s a list of all the titles, along with their translation and — hopefully […]

“Sons of Anarchy” recap: “Darthy”

November 27, 2012 StayTuned Staff

I’m just waiting for someone to assemble a clip of Jax raising his voice this season of Sons of Anarchy. The guy’s been like a virtual grunge song these past few episodes, growling quietly as he tries to tell people he is methodical and ruthless, and means business, then all of a sudden YELLING VERY LOUDLY to tell them he’s pissed. Yeah, it’s pretty much been since Opie got killed, so maybe that makes sense. He’s got plenty of reason to shout this episode as well, as things come to a head with Clay much sooner than he expected, and […]

“Sons of Anarchy” recap: “To Thine Own Self”

November 21, 2012 StayTuned Staff

After sitting out last week’s episode, Nero is back in something fierce this week. On what is supposed to a happy occasion — the opening of his high-class escort/porn operation with the Sons — he finds his old crew paying him a visit. And it’s not to congratulate him on a new venture. They don’t like the idea of their old compadre moving on to bigger and better things, and they want a little taste, in the form of some guns to help defend themselves in their neverending turf wars. Nero is dead-set against it, but Jax talks him into […]

Lizzie Brochere, Franka Potente dish on “American Horror Story: Asylum”

November 14, 2012 StayTuned Staff

It’s been a fun ride so far on American Horror Story: Asylum, which succeeded immediately in making us all forget the first season’s storyline and concentrate on the madness going on at the Briarcliff institute in 1964. Yes, some actors from the original run have returned — notably Jessica Lange as Sister Jude, Zachary Quinto as Dr. Thredson, and Evan Peters as Kit Walker — but the new blood among the cast has helped set it apart. Two of those additions, Lizzie Brochere and Franka Potente, spoke with reporters recently about their roles, where the story is going, and what […]

“Sons of Anarchy” recap: “Crucifixed”

November 13, 2012 StayTuned Staff

It’s getting that time of the season when the “previously on Sons of Anarchy” segment is taking up a noticeably large amount of time. With all the shenanigans going down, there’s a lot of ‘splaining to do, especially when you have a super-sized 90-minute episode that picks up so many threads from stories that stretch back for seasons. That said, “Crucifixed” is one of the more brutal stretches the show has ever put us through. Oftentimes I won’t remember a given episode by title, but with “Crucifixed,” I’ll never forget it. You’ll know why by the end. We pick up […]

FX shares preview from upcoming drama, “The Americans”

November 7, 2012 StayTuned Staff

Coming in January, FX is going to inject a little Cold War drama into our lives with The Americans, which stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys star as a pair of KGB agents living undercover in the U.S. as husband and wife. They even have two children who are completely unaware that their parents are Russkie spies. This 30-second clip immediately sets the mood with some Ronald Reagan footage, then lets us know we’re in for some delicious intrigue that could attract fans of Homeland. Embed:

“Sons of Anarchy” recap: Andare Pescare

November 6, 2012 StayTuned Staff

I wasn’t cool enough to know the exact translation of tonight’s Sons of Anarchy episode (being a monolingual ‘Merican and all), but I did know enough to figure out that it had something to do with fish. “Sleep with the fishes” would’ve been appropriate, especially given the heavy mob connection that follows, but it turns out it’s closer to “gone fishing.” That said, there are no literal fish to speak of, just a lot of metaphorical fishing as Jax moves in on getting the proof he needs that Clay is the mastermind behind the renegade Nomads. The hunt for Frankie […]

“Sons of Anarchy” recap: “Ablation”

October 30, 2012 StayTuned Staff

I love it when TV teaches me something new. You know, like the title of tonight’s Sons of Anarchy. I wasn’t exactly sure what “ablation” meant, but it doesn’t sound real positive, does it? Turns out it essentially means the removal of something harmful to the body via surgery. Hmm, yeah, this could get ugly. So, just to get it out of the way, the kids are OK. Poor Abel has to undergo a bit of surgery but hey, after what that kid’s been through already, he shouldn’t be too worse for wear. But the real suspense is with Gemma. […]

“7 Questions” With … Winter Ave Zoli of “Sons of Anarchy”

October 30, 2012 StayTuned Staff

Winter Ave Zoli has managed to parlay what was originally a quickie guest spot into a full-fledged recurring role on the smash FX biker drama Sons of Anarchy. Her character Lyla’s tragic romance with Opie ended this season, but Lyla remains a part of the SAMCRO family, turning up for some quality screen time in tonight’s episode. Zoli, who can also currently be seen costarring with Kenneth Branagh in the short film “Prodigal,” part of the Stars in Shorts feature film, took some time to answer our “7 Questions.” You’re at a magazine rack and can only pick three titles.
