Sons of Anarchy: The Final Ride

The S.O.A. Logo
 "Sons of Anarchy", Kurt Sutter's rendition of the life and times of a motorcycle club (MC), has begun its seventh and final season.  The final ride began on Sept. 9, 2014 on FX, and, based on the premiere, this final ride will be full of suspense and slick with blood.

The premiere episode resumed almost exactly where season six ended. Tara, Jax Teller's (Charlie Hunnam) wife, is dead, Jax is in jail, Gemma (Katey Sagal), Jax's mother, is taking care of his children, and The Sons are continuing business as usual. First order of business, find Tara's killer. Spoiler Alert: we all know from season six that Gemma killed Tara, however, she finds a scapegoat in a Lin Triad member.

Jax is released from jail and resumes his place as president at the table of the Redwood Sons of Anarchy.   It is at this club meeting where the members, along with the viewers, feel back to normal. “I already lost the woman I love, I'm not going to lose my club,” Jax said as The Sons sat around the reaper table.  Jax schedules a peace negotiation with the Lin Triad at a “welcome home party” hosted by Redwoody inc., the MC's legitimate pornography production company.  This is where Gemma points out the Lin Triad member as Tara's alleged killer.

After trading favors with a friendly MC, the Lin Triad member is delivered to The Sons.  The kill is so drawn out and brutal that it's understandable how Gemma would think it would be enough closure for Jax.  I love this show because the characters change so much throughout the seasons, especially Jax.  This season viewers will most likely see Jax become much darker and ruthless, and, with 12 episodes left, true "Sons of Anarchy" fans know that there is much more drama, violence, and blood to come.
