Perhaps there are many occasions when a Sons of Anarchy recap just can’t do justice to what it’s describing. I’ll go ahead and tell you all the things that happened in the Season 6 finale, but it can’t match the power of seeing it. But be warned, this is going to hurt, and probably make you mad and want to go into a Jax-like rage of spitting out your words then yelling uncontrollably for a sentence or two then kicking something. Tara (Maggie Siff) is the subject of everyone’s curiosity, with most of the club assuming she had cut a […]

Now is about the time in every Sons of Anarchy run when it feels more like the end of the series is near, and not just the season. That’s never more true than after the events of “You Are My Sunshine,” this week’s Sons of Anarchy recap. We start with Patterson (CCH Pounder) reaming Jax (Charlie Hunnam) over the bloodbath he orchestrated involving Galen (Timothy V. Murphy) and Clay (Ron Perlman). She knows he’s lying, he knows she knows, but in the end they both came out better off. Perhaps Patterson is willing to let things slide a little bit […]

(WARNING: This post contains massive spoilers for several seasons of Sons of Anarchy, so if you’re not caught up, get thee to a DVD player or streaming device and make it happen.) It’s a dicey proposition trying to rank the most shocking deaths in a show like Sons of Anarchy. You always have to consider it a work in progress. To wit, I started this blog a few weeks ago after Lee Toric’s wtf death scene, before other assignments sort of put it on the back burner until time got away from me. Well, then Kurt Sutter and Company go […]

All right, so now I know why FX didn’t send along a screener for this week’s episode ahead of time. I mean, yes, it always help when doing a Sons of Anarchy recap to have time to process what you’ve seen, but in this case, secrecy had to be a priority. To say this is a game-changer might be underselling it a bit. So if you haven’t seen the episode yet — the title of which translates to “Nothing Personal” — run away, run far away, because you can’t unhear these spoilers. Let’s just come out with it. Halfway through […]

I’m sitting here staring this Sons of Anarchy recap trying to think of any moments more tense than watching Tara (Maggie Siff) at the beginning of this episode walking around her house, unable to find baby Thomas, and fearing what has happened now that her husband, Jax (Charlie Hunnam) has come home. … Nope, can’t think of any right now. She eventually finds her husband and her sons in a scene that on a normal day would be quite serene, Jax holding his baby boy and watching his other son sleep peacefully. But now we don’t know what’s going to […]

Rarely are titles of episodes more indicative of what’s to come than for this Sons of Anarchy recap. If you don’t have a Bible handy, I’ll just paraphrase John 8:32 and tell you it’s the one that says “the truth shall set you free.” Well, Jax (Charlie Hunnam) gets a whole Old Testament load of truth this episode, and it’s going to make the rest of the season one to remember. The episode starts with an only so-so attempt to draw parallels between couples Jax and Tara (Maggie Siff) and Gemma (Katey Sagal) and Nero (Jimmy Smits). Essentially, the point […]
