Belated Binge: ‘Sons of Anarchy’ ’Breaking Bad’ ‘Harry Potter’

Harry Potter TV Series: How it Could Work, Why it Won’t

I thought we could take a quick break from the chapter episodes and tackle a current events topic: The upcoming Harry Potter TV series.
 
I'll run through my reaction, my thoughts on how I think it could be a really cool tv show and spawn spinoff opportunities as well as why I ultimately think it's going to fail.

’Sons of Anarchy’ S1 E4 Patch Over

Patch Over might be my favorite episode of season 1! Jax and Bobby take a ride up to Nevada to meet with an affiliate club that's dealing with some heat from the Mayans to exchange favors. When their "under the radar" visit becomes very very above the radar, Clay decides it's time to make the Devil's Tribe official members of Sons of Anarchy aka PATCH OVER!
 
Along the way we get introduced to Cherry who will teach us about becoming an Old Lady, a great guest star role who will be a fun side plot for Jax and an excuse for him to bust a d-bag in the face with a motorcycle helmet. IT'S A REALLY FUN EPISODE!

’The Office’ S1 E5 Basketball (Superfan)

The Office turns competitive when Michael (on behalf of the sales team) challenges the workers in the warehouse to a game of Basketball to determine who will have to work on Saturday.
 
Michael and Dwight are as bad at hoops as you might expect. Stanley is much worse than Michael expects. Jim is actually pretty good. Somehow (plot) the sales team is winning when Michael takes an inadvertent elbow and calls the game off, but he's intimidated by the warehouse workers and decides nobody is working Saturday.
 
Quick hitters: Pam is weird this whole episode. Kevin is a really good shooter. As a basketball fan, it's really hard to watch tv show basketball that's supposed to be played badly.

’Harry Potter’ Prisoner of Azkaban Ch 5

The Dementor
Harry Potter is ready to go to Hogwarts! After a ministry car escorts him to the train station and an awkward conversation with Mr. Weasley, he's on the Hogwarts Express and it doesn't matter that there's a convicted murderer out to get him, right?
 
WRONG!
 
Before the train makes it to the school, it's stopped and we're introduced to DEMENTORS! Which are just the physical form of depression. So that's fun...
Harry passes out from his childhood trauma, but at least we won't hear the term "Azkaban guard" anymore. Also, we met Lupin!!!

’Sons of Anarchy’ S1 E3 Funtown

TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT
 
Funtown is not a particularly fun episode topic. It begins with a light-hearted trip to a small town carnival, which gets heavy quickly.
 
The rest of the episode consists of our boys in SAMCRO tracking down the sick individual who committed the crime. Once they find him, they remove his ability to do any such acts again.

’The Office’ S1 E4 Alliance

Dwight is the star of the Alliance episode. In the face of looming downsizing, Dwight asks Jim to form an alliance. Jim doesn't know what this means, but takes this as a sign from whatever higher power he believes in and runs with it.
 
One particular high note is when Dwight climbs into a box in the warehouse to spy on a rumored meeting of members of a competing alliance. Hilarity ensues throughout.

’Sons of Anarchy’ S1 E2 Seeds

The Seeds is a funny episode really! It's full of mini side missions.
Tig's past relations are brought into question, leading to a side mission to avoid an unfortunate discovery of his DNA that would put SAMCRO at jeopardy.
Jax convinces a crow eater to take one for the team and may have contributed to a man being stabbed in the head with an axe???
Clay runs his own side mission with Opie tagging along for a protection run that doesn't go as planned, unless you meant Clay's plan.
Abel is expected to make a full recovery and so is Wendy. 
Gemma's side mission to find John Teller's manuscript is thwarted by Jax.
The episode ends at Gemma and Clay's for dinner, but Opie and Donna aren't in attendance.

’The Office’ S1 E3 Healthcare

Dwight Schrute is the star of the Healthcare episode. When Michael Scott is told he must pick a new, cheaper Healthcare plan for the employees of Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch, he knows it won't be received well. So, he does what Michael does when he has to do something he knows people won't like... he delegates.
 
On Jim's suggestion, he puts Dwight on the task and he's more than happy to be given this responsibility. Shenanigans follow including fake diseases, serious HIPAA violations, and more of Jim and Pam's chemistry shines through.

’Harry Potter’ Prisoner of Azkaban Ch 1-2

Owl Post & Aunt Marge's Big Mistake
Welcome back to the Harry Potter binge! The first chapter of Prisoner of Azkaban: Owl Post follows the same formula that has been established. It's Harry's birthday, he's sad to be at the Dursleys, the Dursleys hate him, luckily he's a magic boy with magic friends from magic school. At some point something happens to make Vernon angry and hate him more and there's something big foreshadowed for a major plot point to come later. Then he goes to sleep.
 
Luckily, this time his friends send him gifts for his birthday!
 
Chapter 2: Aunt Marge's Big Mistake starts to pick up a little bit, but is still pretty quick. Vernon's sister is in town, she's been bullying Harry his entire life because she's a terrible person. She spends the chapter bullying him and eventually he accidentally inflates her like the Goodyear blimp.
 
He ends up running away and not getting his Hogsmeade permission slip signed because blowing up your aunt like a hot air balloon doesn't qualify in Vernon's mind as "behaving" I suppose.
