Sons Of Anarchy 7.5 Review - 5 Talking Points From Some Strange Eruption
The most explosive moments from the fifth episode of the final season.
This war is coming to Charming now, and its going to get a whole lot bloodier. Episode five is in the books, and things have spiraled even further out of control in the idyllic hamlet of Charming, California. With Diosa in ruins and a large segment of SAMCROs workforce lying in the morgue, things have escalated to a level weve never seen in the previous six seasons. Some Strange Eruption followed up on the events at Diosa with an intense confrontation between The Lin Triad and Jax and Chibs, (orchestrated with a little help from Charlie Barosky), the continuing saga of Gemma and Juice, an evolving romance between Chibs and Sheriff Jerry, and a high-pressure moral dilemma for Nero. Weve gotten the set-up out of the way and now were digging in to the meat of the plot, tearing away at the story that Kurt Sutter has lain before us, likely until were left with nothing more than bone when all is said and done. What were watching feels like the dissolution of the Sons of Anarchy, a season where everything that possibly could go wrong, does, instead of the usual slick maneuvering and the advantage of being the smartest dogs in the yard. Were a little over 1/3rd of the way in now and theres still no clear picture of how things will play out, which is one of the reasons we love this show. Sons of Anarchy is rarely predictable and excels at delivering those gut-punch moments that completely change the face of the series, but with this being the final ride, the expectations for closure are even higher. But this isnt Once Upon A Time, and there arent going to be any neat and tidy fairy tale endings here Lets take a look at 5 talking points from Some Strange Eruption
