The Point Of Sons Of Anarchy, Especially This Season

Is the amazing flexibility FX has used for episode length, allowing the stories to play out better each week instead of forcing ill-advised cuts to fit the 10-11 time slot.  That is, as Joe Biden would say, a big fucking deal--in the tee vee world.  Talk about race all you want and miss the point there as well, but if you see how tee vee--which sucks balls most of the time--can be not so sucky, then you will see what is important about Sons of Anarchy.  When the story is no longer the absolute last priority for the tee vee assholes, we can have a tiny bit of progress & a tiny bit of hope.
