Why 'Sons of Anarchy' is the most badass show on TV
This Week's Cover: Why 'Sons of Anarchy' is the most badass show on TV
Just because he’s the mastermind behind FX’s most-successful series ever, doesn’t mean that Kurt Sutter is the picture of serenity these days — especially in the editing room. If there’s one thing that makes the executive producer’s job more difficult than ever, it’s finding a way to wedge in all the great performances into one 44-minute episode of SOA.
Most times, he can’t — which is why the network has been “really generous on time” by giving Sutter four 90 minute-episodes to wrap the drama’s fifth season, ending Dec. 4. But he still had to make tough choices. “I just can’t get it all in,” laments Sutter to EW. “It’s interesting because my scripts keep getting tighter in terms of page count and yet I keep getting directors cuts that are longer and longer. A scene that would normally play out in two minutes now takes like 3½ minutes because they’re much more emotionalized. It’s really about letting those scenes breathe so they can have the life they’re supposed to have, because there is so much more at stake.”
In this week’s issue, Entertainment Weekly goes behind the scenes of the series that’s in the home stretch of its fifth suspense-filled season to find out the real inspiration behind the drama (hint: it involves the classics!), who helps Sutter with all those little motorcycle club details, and why cast members like Charlie Hunnam (Jax), Kim Coates (Tig), Tommy Flanagan (Chibs), Mark Boone Jr. (Bobby) and Theo Rossi (Juice) bond so well on and off screen.
And for more on SOA, keep checking back to Inside TV where we’ll feature exclusive interviews with Ryan Hurst (Opie), who talked about his character’s tragic death this season, and Hunnam, who explains why he stopped talking to Ron Perlman (Clay) this season!

Ron is FANTASTIC, even as a shitty cartoon villain version of Clay. But at the same time, Clay has to go already. He can't seriously believe just bc he is "reconciling" with Gemma, Jax will let them off the hook so easily. Like LOL, give me a break....
All I know is that if Clay doesn't die this season, Im boycotting season 6.
SPOILER TALK AHEAD~~~~~
And I can't seem to find the link now, but Ron said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that the season finale is a cliffhanger and he doesn't know if his character makes it to season 6... mmmmmm.
