Nikki & Steven

what was?

This was a nightmare to follow.

Pat_Bez

Something weird is going on with our versions- the scenes aren't lining up. It's like we have two different "cuts" of the episode

Marcus McGill

@Nikki & Steven Remember Stahl's deal for SAMCRO was 3 years, but out in 12-18 months for good behavior.

Marcus McGill

Same with The Shield.

Marcus McGill

I'll take the Sgt. at Arms patch. lol

James Finelli

I’m drunk as shit and thought it was me lol. Had to read everyone’s comments. I was so confused from me trying to align the times to people talking about they have access to it on Disney+ lol. I watch it on Hulu as well and mine is 59 minutes 44 seconds. I saw that they had a glitch on theirs but for those that have it on Amazon is that the full episode?

Terry Davis

i would love for yall to watch Deadwood on HBO, you would recognize several people in Deadwood from SOA

SylMyl

I hope you rewatch the whole episode :( There wer so many things cut out and some was fun or important.

Josip Buretić

Unfortunately 45min

Beef_testosterone307

Mandalorian is on Disney+

Chaz D

So I’m about to watch the season 4 premiere reaction. Is the reaction to the 45 min version or the 59 min version?

Frank

Man I just gave up and watched it without their reaction to jog my memory and listened to their recap after. Hopefully, the rest of the season is not like this. I will chip in for them to just buy the complete season on Prime for 19.95. What mess Hulu caused.

jjayson

The rest of season 4 matches up fine with the minutes of the episodes I have in my iTunes complete series bundle and google. Just episode 1. But…there are serious edits in seasons 6 and 7. One episode in 5 has an edit.

Ashley

Interesting

jjayson

I figured out the Hulu glitch. Did it 4 times. If you play near the end of the previous episode 3-13, let it end, and trigger into the start of next episode 4-1, it will give you the full 59 minute episode. If you just come and start watching the new episode 4-1 fresh, it gives you the edited version. Don’t know if this works for the upcoming edited versions but it definitely works here for 4-1.

Shanice British

The “She’s just an old lady” line is so powerful because you can tell that because of the club that’s what Gemma became to Jax overtime. Of course he loves her and we know that’s his mom, but her closeness to the club makes it impossible for her to be his mom so to him she’s just Clay’s old lady. Looking back I definitely forgot about that line because it’s very important to the whole series.

Josip Buretić

Agreed!! I don't get it why Hulu even cuts those episodes and this one is missing so many... 😔

jjayson

I bought the entire series on Digital HD from iTunes for like $35 back before Disney purchased Fox/FX and put the FX stuff on Hulu. It’s on iTunes or you can grab the entire series on Prime Video on digital hd. No physical media needed. Hulu really chops up big parts of upcoming seasons badly. Amazon Prime doesn’t do a complete series set though for a discount like iTunes. iTunes you can watch on Apple TV+ app if not on Apple TV 4K box.

John Jackson

My version is about an hour long, syncing was hell but i enjoyed the episode! Ive seen it so many times i just stopped trying to sync and just watched you goys

jjayson

Just realized the Russian undercover ATF agent was in the Season 3 Finale. He was counting the counterfeit money on the hood of the SUV at the Jimmy O exchange.

jjayson

But us here in the states aren’t doing all of that. We have Hulu. That’s it.

Ashley

I’m glad I’m not the only one that was really disappointed—— I have been looking forward to seeing Nik’s reaction to that since early days! Plus it’s such defining moment. It’s not too dramatic to say it’s the foundational scene for the rest of the show.

Jamie

The proposal scene was disappointing because it was chopped up so bad. It’s the most beautiful scene with amazing dialogue. One of my favourites. They left out heaps especially Jax comparing himself to JT. How he really feels about Gemma & Clay’s reaction. Why he wants out. But most importantly… baring his feelings to Tara. His love for his family. It was a mess. 😩

Meggerz

Right?! That one was epic.

jjayson

Disney+ in the USA does not have FX content.

Ashley

Im gonna look at run times. But you’re right though I mean if this is I was gonna be every time we couldn’t watch it.

Ashley

Finished. It’s true. Sucks. Impossible. Frustrating😞not enjoyable.—- Fyi Steven, as an editor, you shave. Cut seconds where you can. Most scenes missing 10-50+ seconds; reorganized. You can’t sync. Youtube likely question: 1) Cut plot of cops following the guys and tying them upon side of road. 2) Piney knows about letters. Why you don’t talk about those or react. 3) proposal scene was 🙃(been looking forward to Nikki seeing that since s1😢) 4) convo with the Fed gone — only couple scenes lined up. I’ll look up run times and send to you.

Squeak418

You just figured out the show with Gemma's gonna Gemma.

Nikki & Steven

we appreciate that Jacobb but that isn't necessary this community does enough. If we have to go that way, we will take care of it

Jacobb Castillo

I'd more more than happy to contribute to gifting them the online seasons on Amazon Prime which are all full unedited episodes. Season 4 is $19.59. The other season cost about the same. If other Patreon members want to help out as well the total cost between a lot of us should be small.

Nikki & Steven

not even sure we have anything to play physical media anymore.

Jamie

I can’t believe how much dialogue is skipped over. Important information just left out. I’m still trying to get through this episode, desperately trying to go back and forth to match up. So frustrating. 🤯

Jamie

Man I want to buy you guys the box sets because this was just crazy. So many scenes cut. Hulu left out heaps, definitely some key moments too that are important. I was outta the loop pretty much the whole episode watching along with you guys… it was really hard to be in sync. I felt bad you guys are missing out. I watch on Disney+ in Australia. The episode says it’s 51 mins.

NZ Hayley

I’m not going anywhere, love these guys 🥰

KidSwamp

Glad I wasn't the only one with the issue, suck as know they missed out on key stuff.

Nikki & Steven

we don't have a VPN. It's one episode, I am sure this won't be the case with the rest of the episodes. I tried reaching out to Hulu but they weren't much help. I am going to try again with them

Ashley

@Haylzies before you cancel your sub to here, let’s see if we can find out exactly which episodes, and they can watch on Amazon. 📺 They watch Amazon movies all tbe time!

NZ Hayley

I tried watching along but the version you are watching is missing entire scenes throughout, I lost sync multiple times and then could just not figure out where you were up to, I gave up. If you use a VPN you can watch the full versions on Disney+ (The New Zealand Disney+ has SOA and probably other countries too). I’m worried the whole season is going to be like this and I’ll have to just wait for the YouTube reactions 😓

Rita Hunter

I watch it on Hulu, but nothing was cut from mine. Maybe it's a regional thing? Nikki and Steven's version of this ep had a couple scenes cut that were in mine. Strange.

Ashley

For S&N, Amazon may be key. I own them all through buying individual episodes. If we can pin-point which episodes cut vital scenes, they can buy that episode on Amazon. They are 1.99

40

hulu chopped this episode up like a chop cheese

Ashley

Steven If you guys want my Amazon info you can — I bought episodes on my Amazon. $1.99 — I trust you lol Damn worried about scenes cut issue for y’all🥲🙃 I’ll send you my password.

Sam Tolan

Damn this was straight up unwatchable felt like hulu cut more of the episode than they kept

Bryce Lamkin

Yall missed about 15 minutes of some rather important interactions from what I'm watching so far. This episode is about an 1 hour and 5 mins on Amazon. A lot of important stuff was taken out

ProphecyGirl_

Nice to know it wasn’t just me. Hulu took out some really good important stuff too. Such a shame.

Bryce Lamkin

So on Amazon, this episode is an hour and 5 mins. You definitely missed the introduction of the DA and Piney knowing about the letters.

Beth96

I watch it on Disney plus so it’s definitely on there but I live in Scotland so I don’t know if it’s different in different countries

Josip Buretić

Agreed on that 💯

Josip Buretić

💯💯💯

Josip Buretić

Yes usually it is just like you said only few seconds but this was all over the place and so many important things were cut off 🙄🙄

Meggerz

Agreed. I watch it on Hulu as well, and just double checked. Right after the opening credits finish, they show everyone waiting outside the clubhouse. Piney and Tara talk about “history being dead, and it’s gotta stay that way”. Then there is an interaction between Tara and Gemma, and Gemma tells Tara she is proud of her for holding down the fort while Jax was inside. It all happened just before the club rides in to the parking lot.

Josip Buretić

This episode was till now the worst Hulu did cut so many things and in my opinion so many important things to 😭😭 I watch it on Disney+ and it was so difficult to sync this episode with Hulu

Ashgar77

Hulu butchered the hell out of the episode. My god I couldn't sync up for large chunks of the episode.

Ker'Mhod

Yeah, sadly can't even try out hulu in europe so I'm forced to look different cuts and jump to sync every 5/10 min. it's soooo boring. Nothing to do with Nikki and Steven tho, you're killing it with these reacts! :)

Redrum Ritual

Hulu butchered the shit out if this episode. There was so much than what Hulu showed. Fuck Hulu

Joshua Johnson

I absolutely love when shows end an episode with such a happy feeling song and shootouts lol

Joshua Johnson

Season 4 is one of my favorite seasons! You are in for a ride as usual lol

Jacobb Castillo

FYI - I checked with fellow patreon member who's also watching SOA and he purchased his seasons from Amazon Prime and his season 4 episode 1 is also 1 hour.

Shanice British

I love a good promotion so thank you Steven 😂

Jacobb Castillo

Wow, Hulu cut out almost 15 min worth of scenes. I'm watching my purchased seasons from Vudu and my episode is about 1 hour. I have never noticed much of a difference from when you've watched seasons 1 through 3, but this episode was cut up so much I was constantly pausing your reaction video to try to catch up... but it got so bad that I could not sync back up to continue watching along.

SAMCRO_89

Yeah getting synced up with this episode was a nightmare lol. So many scenes was cut out from the version you guys watched apparently. The entire highway altercation between SAMCRO and the new Charming PD wasn't even in there. Literally seemed like at the end or between every scene something was cut out.

Maritza Navarro

I thought it was just on my end that scenes were missing from this episode, but clearly, everyone is having this issue. Since Disney owns the rights to Sons Of Anarchy now, let's see what scenes get cut and what stays.

emppu

Oh right, I didn't even think that. Then I have to switch to Hulu if the next episode is butchered like this one.

Wezza Rogers

True that brother

DevilJynx

Yeah that was what really threw my syncing off. Hulu definitely screwed up. I don't even understand why they cut content like this. It's so dumb.

Wezza Rogers

you missed the whole chase scene Hulu has butchered this episode

MaggieStormborn

Yes, I watch on Hulu and it had several different cuts than your version. I'm not sure how or why that would be the case. 🤔

Nikki & Steven

you watch on Hulu and yours was different? that is so bizarre.

George Leftwich

Its not on Disney+ everywhere I don't think

Nikki & Steven

Disney+ is not an option for us where we live. Hulu is the option.

Joey Patterson

I had no issues

George Leftwich

My episode is 58 minutes long. That is alot that Hulu is cutting out!! It seems like everybody has a different version of the episode which is insane

Joey Patterson

Don't see it on disney+

MaggieStormborn

I thought I was going crazy trying to sync that up, I wonder why Hulu is giving different versions of the same show to different viewers? 🧐

Meggerz

Ok…but there was one “red wedding” that was good. Lagertha’s wedding to Kalf 😝

scorpius drall

that episode was cut up so bad hulu did a bad job

emppu

This is gonna be bummer trying to sync up since Hulu is cutting snippets off... If you guys could switch to Disney+ that would be better. I have just watched 22mins about this one and I'm about to loose my nerve cuz the constant cuts...

TrackHoodie

I like "VP's" but we got more seasons to go! haha. Some other names to consider for future seasons "CHILDREN OF MAYHEM" (MEN OF MAYHEM IN THE SHOW ). SGT AT ARMS (TIG'S POSITION).

George Leftwich

Yeah that's crazy. Sucks cause Hulu is depriving the audience of the whole episode and also from Nikki and Steven.

DevilJynx

The version I have was desynced horribly with theirs. Normally its just been a few seconds difference, but here its all over the place. So it's not just Austin. I've seen others mention the scene cuts as well. It's not their fault ofc, it's Hulu's.

George Leftwich

Also noticed what Austin said about some scenes being cut by Hulu. I was also watching on Hulu and didn't have my scenes cut. My version on Hulu was 58 minutes long, not including the credits, and ya'lls stopped at around 44 minutes. Love the reactions but Hulu is being crazy

Austin Graham

Just did some research and it seems as though hulu cuts alot of scenes out from sons of anarchy, especially some pretty important ones in seasons 6 and 7. I would highly recommend switching to disney+ for streaming this as they have the entire uncut episodes. However thats just my opinion and you're free to do as you please.

Austin Graham

Maybe the hulu version has some cut content. Very strange as this is the only episode ive noticed it in. For example before the boys pull up to the clubhouse for the first time piney says to tara "historys dead sweetheart, it has to stay that way" kind of an important scene to cut out in my opinion.

Nikki & Steven

we are reacting to the episode we have access to on Hulu and we don't edit anything out of these reactions

Austin Graham

Idk if it's an editing error but there seem to be alot of scenes missing from this upload. Piney and tara + gemma and tara talking before the guys pull up from jail, and when the new sherrif is talking to linc potter. Your episode timer ends around 45 mins but the episode is almost 49 mins long.
