Sons of Anarchy, Season 7, Episode 8, “The Separation of Crows”
Directed by Charles Murray
Written by Kurt Sutter
Airs Tuesdays at 10pm on FX
Putting aside all of the violence (which packs no punch), torture (which has gone too far yet again), and killing (which has no motivation behind it) for just a minute, this week’s episode of Sons of Anarchy tries to do some interesting things with its characters for maybe the first time all season. It doesn’t always pan out, but that is a result of not committing fully rather than refusing to take the time to try something different. After weeks of dropping breadcrumbs in regards to Abel’s mental state and the club’s effect on him, there is finally a definitive incident that proves Abel’s surroundings are turning him into an indiscriminately violent and angry person, just like his father.

Sons of Anarchy house band the Forest Rangers aren't afraid to put their unique spin on a beloved classic. For Tuesday night's episode, "The Separation of Crows," the eclectic crew recorded a wicked version of the Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix anthem "All Along the Watchtower," letting vocalist Billy Valentine wail vividly over a tumbling drum part and psychedelic wah-wah.
"There must be some way out of here,' said the joker to the thief," SoA music supervisor Bob Thiele tells Rolling Stone, referencing the opening line from the classic-rock staple.

Sons of Anarchy Season 7 Episode 1: Black Widower
(Episode Spoilers)
Traumatic. That’s the only way I can describe “Black Widower.” It was a painful glimpse into Jax’s inevitable demise. In TV we often hope that our antiheroes find some modicum of redemption. We want to know that the person that we empathize with, the person who encapsulates our shadowed desires, will eventually come out on top – despite all the chaos he or she has wrought. Our subconscious leads us to hope that – given the right circumstances – we too could lead a life on the fringe of society, like Dexter Morgan, Walter White and, of course, Jax Teller and still have a happy ending.
But such is never the case. This just wouldn’t lead to good TV – the kind of series that tugs at your heartstrings at just the right moment, before letting your emotions flatline in silence.
