    Creator Kurt Sutter has found fewer openings to lighten the show as the story has darkened, and that continues to be the case. Still, we want to know what’s going to happen, even if the odds of anything good are about the same as the odds of the show ever winning the Emmys it deserves.

    The season premiere alone places SAMCRO in three progressively darker, increasingly self-destructive set pieces sparked from confusion and ending with the gang indulging in some misguided retaliation.

    After a relatively explosive season premiere, the next two episodes of Sons of Anarchy may frustrate viewers hoping for insanity in every episode. Sutter gets down into the dirty of a gang war again, and it’s a bit of a narrative letdown after the explosiveness of last season.

    Sons of Anarchy could be the antihero drama to end all antihero dramas, but it'll have to shift into some new gears to go out in the blaze of ingloriousness it deserves.

    Fans will love Tuesday night's supersized launch. I'm just limp and weary from it all.

    While it will be interesting to see the way Sons tackles loose ends, in terms of how the series explores shades of gray, it looks like it’s all over but the shooting.

    What an absolute waste of a time slot this show has become. Sons of Anarchy? How about retitling it to 'My Wife and I's Retirement' sinceWhat an absolute waste of a time slot this show has become. Sons of Anarchy? How about retitling it to 'My Wife and I's Retirement' since that's what Season 7 truly is...banking the last bit of cash out of a dried up corpse of a tv show that should have disappeared 3 seasons ago. What a sad, sad waste. Full Review »

The fans do not love Jax. Love not Gemma. Love not the MC. If Sutter loves the figures that's his business. If he pulls this love in the length then that is fatal. Either he makes a TV show for his own home theater, or for viewers !? The Spectators want the slow death! The majority would like to see suffer these serial killers and mass murderers. Therefore, it is not elegant in 12 of 13 Episodes represent the Sons as smart alecks and everything dissolve quickly in the 13 episode. That would be mass-produced. For too long actually were all stupid: Cops, Chinese, Niners, Pope, the Irish, even the cartel and all authorities, etc. In contrast, "Our" suddenly stupid (-> File Gemma-Tera). Juice for Comic Character mutated. We are currently at Season 7 Episode 6
    If this continues Sutter will reap a whole bush full of golden raspberries.

    And shortly to the Special Guests: Collect Sutter special guests, personally? Who needs Marilin Manson (... is the leader of the Aryan a gay Buebchen?). Hole, who needs Hole? Even from Henry Rolins one was a little disappointed. But this only in passing. The dramatic failure of the seventh season are much more devastating.
