What I’m Watching: Sons of Anarchy


Sons of Anarchy: Season 7, Episode 7 “Greensleeves” (B+)

It’s as if this show is trying to be as creative as possible in thinking of the horrible ways that human beings can be tortured and killed, and I keep telling myself that it’s in the service of demonstrating just how much violence begets violence. TVLine made a gallery of deaths caused by Gemma this season that illustrates just why she had such a foreboding sense of dread when she was summoned to the cabin since she is so directly responsible for so much of the pain and misery inflicted upon Charming and its neighbors recently. This show has never been shy about killing off its series regulars in the middle of a season, and it’s worth being frightened now since the end is near and anyone is fair game more than ever. Bobby’s severed eye being delivered to SAMCRO by Marks’ head of security sends a brutal message, and there’s only going to be more violence in the near future. Delivering that fearsome news was a face I haven’t seen in a while, Matthew St. Patrick, last seen on “Six Feet Under” as a security guard and then fated to obscurity after a quick follow-up stint on “Reunion,” as Moses, who seems to have a temperament fitting for working with Marks. The club sending Juice into prison so that he could kill Lin is a smart idea, but I suspect that things are going to unravel way before then and plenty of innocent and guilty people are going to get caught in the crossfire.
