The Separation of Crows

Sons of Anarchy always goes from riveting to ridiculous. This season is the strongest case in point. Is there a more idiotic and inept leader than Jax Teller? He has taken the club through a disastrous course of actions and one has to wonder why anyone would still be following him at this point. This just make all the guys look even stupider, though at long last Chibs question one of the dumbest thing Jax has ever done. It's still compelling, but as with a great part of the show it has no logic.

Season 7 of Sons of Anarchy is so pointlessly stoopid at this point that I'm starting to regret telling friends how much I enjoyed previous seasons. It's making me feel like a fool.

I long ago stopped following who was crossing whom. All I know is that Discount Brad Pitt is a foolish hothead whose main skill appears to be getting friends, family and colleagues put six feet under.

For a show that has repeatedly made wyte supr3macists the ultimate half-wit bad guys, while making Bee Ell Emm g2ng b3ngers look like Dee Eee Eye CEOs, it's funny how Jax can't get over on the sk1nheads unless he's mowing them down Al Capone style.

I am pretty much h3te-watching the show at this point, simply so that I can have some small-talk material next time I see my buddy, who loved the show.

In the eighth episode of Sons of Anarchy Season 7, titled "The Separation of Crows," the once gritty and captivating biker drama continues its descent into melodramatic territory, further cementing its transformation into a poor soap opera. As the final season unfolds, viewers are confronted with a narrative that prioritizes shock value over substance, sacrificing the nuanced storytelling and character development that once defined the series.

One of the most glaring issues with "The Separation of Crows" is its reliance on contrived plot twists and improbable scenarios. Instead of grounding the story in the gritty realities of the biker world, the writers opt for sensationalistic developments that strain credulity and undermine the authenticity of the narrative. From outlandish betrayals to conveniently timed revelations, the episode feels more like a collection of soap opera tropes than a coherent continuation of the series' overarching story.

Furthermore, the character dynamics in this episode feel forced and artificial. Instead of exploring the complex relationships between the members of SAMCRO and their allies, the writing reduces them to shallow caricatures driven by melodramatic impulses. Characters who once grappled with moral ambiguity and conflicting loyalties are now relegated to predictable archetypes, diminishing the emotional impact of their arcs.

One particularly disappointing aspect of "The Separation of Crows" is its treatment of female characters. Throughout the series, Sons of Anarchy has struggled with its portrayal of women, often reducing them to mere plot devices or romantic interests for the male protagonists. In this episode, this issue is exacerbated as female characters are sidelined in favor of male-driven storylines, further perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes and reinforcing outdated notions of masculinity.

Additionally, the pacing of the episode feels disjointed and uneven. Scenes drag on for extended periods, while crucial plot points are rushed through without adequate exploration. This imbalance disrupts the flow of the narrative and makes it difficult for viewers to fully engage with the story, resulting in a viewing experience that feels more like a chore than a pleasure.

Despite these shortcomings, there are still some redeeming qualities to be found in "The Separation of Crows." The performances of the cast remain strong, with Charlie Hunnam delivering a compelling portrayal of Jax Teller, even amidst the episode's lackluster material. Similarly, the cinematography continues to impress, capturing the gritty atmosphere of the biker world with stunning visuals and evocative imagery.

In conclusion, Sons of Anarchy Season 7 Episode 8 fails to live up to the standards set by earlier seasons, delivering a lackluster installment that feels more like a poor soap opera than the compelling drama it once was. With contrived plot twists, shallow character development, and uneven pacing, this episode struggles to maintain the viewer's interest and leaves much to be desired in terms of storytelling and authenticity. While there are still moments of intrigue and excitement to be found, they are overshadowed by the overwhelming sense of disappointment that permeates the narrative.

This is the breakout role for Jack, whose iconic presence still propels this ride beyond the scores of substandard imitations that followed. Why? Because it's bloody brilliant. A completely new vision is offered to the streaming service history, science, laughter, sex, death, dominance daring with many messages and beautiful surprises..!?
