Sons of Anarchy Season Premier: My take on what's coming (SPOILER ALERT)

Jax Teller has to die. No, not because I dislike him (and I do), but because he's taken the MC into a bloody war with the Mayans and the Chinese to avenge the death of his wife, Tara. Sooner or later, someone's going to stand back and realize that a "hit" one someone (in this case, Tara) does not involve a carving fork to the back of the head. The president may have this moment of clarity first and dispatch his scheming mother, either Bobby, Chibs or both may look at the carnage that Jax's clouded judgment has wrought and decide that, for the good of the club, he has to go.

It's my favorite show. Strong character development and subplots. It's extrmely violent, though, and you're dealing with sexist and racist bikers. So, heads up if you decide to watch.

My husband was watching it, and I glanced over his shoulder, but I found it horrifying. I like Katey Sagal though. Violent, sexist. I couldn't see any redeeming qualities.

I've read that the bikers in SOA are actually more tolerant and less sexist than you would find in a real life outlaw MC. Also, these guys are living miserable lives on the show. I don't see any glorification.
