Trivia
Jax (Charlie Hunnam) is always seen wearing white Nike Air Force 1 sneakers throughout the entire series, which is a very notable part of his look. However, in the pilot, he is seen wearing black Adidas, low-top sneakers.

Goofs
When Abel is having surgery, the heart monitor shows a rhythm called asystole. This means there is no electrical activity in the heart (assuming the ECG leads are connected to the patient). This rhythm is not considered to be a shockable rhythm, therefore the use of the paddles is inappropriate.

Quotes
Gemma Teller Morrow: Looks like the boy might actually see his first birthday.
Wendy Teller: He made it? Oh Abel, thank God!
Gemma Teller Morrow: Yes! Thank you, God. Maybe... we should say a little prayer.
Wendy Teller: Okay... That'd be good.
Gemma Teller Morrow: Dear God... Thank you for saving this boy... From his murderous, junkie mom. Who cared more about a $40 dollar fix than she did her own flesh and blood.

You Are In For A Ride

I wasn't sure about this because I tend to find overly graphic violence to be uninteresting and depressing. I was surprised at how much actually enjoyed this and couldn't wait to watch the next episode. The characters are unpredictable, funny human and dangerous all at the same time. Katie Sagal was the biggest surprise. Her portrayal of Gemma Teller-Morrow is phenomenal. Television shows that keep you wanting more are few and far between anymore.
