Sons of Anarchy is back for its seventh and final season and Kurt Sutter delivers another stunning, if not ultra bloody, opener.
The episode begins with a recap of the previous season including that murder scene. Then we move onto a brutal prison beat down to really welcome us back.
The usual players are all back and dealing with the aftermath of Tara's death. Without giving too much away, cracks are already beginning to show but it'll be a while before anything comes to light... that would be too easy. Instead we get two serious monologues; one from a broken Jax to his club and the other from Gemma seemingly trying to convince Juice, and probably herself, that she is the only one holding her son together... yes, she does appear to be justifying that fork to the head.
Revenge is the theme for this episode. Not only is Jax seeking his wife's murderer but there is also a sub plot involving the Grim Bastards and some randy pastors (you just know that isn't going away any time soon).
We catch a glimpse of Marilyn Manson's white supremacist leader but his cameo is short and understated. We'll have to wait and see just how deep his role goes.
The episode ends as it begins, with blood drenched violence but I won't say any more... you have to see it to believe it.
This season promises so much; it's hard to see how anyone deserves to make it out alive. I know I will certainly be on the edge of my seat each week wondering just who will survive each episode.
Also it was nice to see Niko Nicotera (Rat Boy) and David Labrava (Happy) finally make it to the opening credit sequence.
