Sons of Anarchy season 2 returns to FX September 8th at 10 pm
If you need a refresher or want to do an SoA crash course to catch up before season 2 begins, season 1 was released on DVD today! Seriously, if you’ve never seen the show before and are interested in watching it you really should watch season 1 because season 2 expects everyone to know what is going on.

From this point forward is a spoiler zone.
Consider yourself warned! On to the juicy stuff:
More about the “horrifying” event that occurs in the premiere
Something worse and more distressing than the castration or the blowtorch tattoo removal in season one is going to happen at the end of the first episode. If you can bear to watch, it will certainly make you think and wonder what will happen next.
I do know that this event includes newest bad guy, Henry Rollins. In a recent interview he was asked how difficult filming that particular scene was and his reply was:
It was a little much. It was tough to shoot, for all of us — the whole crew and all the actors involved. It was not cool. It was part of the story and we had to do it, but it was a huge relief when they said, “Okay, we’ve got it. That’s all we need.”
Henry Rollins on his character
I’m an awful man, named AJ Weston. He’s a neo-Nazi, white separatist, white supremacist type. He has no redeeming social qualities, except that he likes his kids. Past that, he’s incorrigible and awful. My boss is even more awful because he’s a Machiavellian character, played by Adam Arkin, who is brilliant. I’m a bad guy that does bad things, and my enemy is the Sons of Anarchy. And, they hate me too, believe me.
Opie fans rejoice
Ryan Hurst will be back this season as Opie, despite the fact that his character’s wife was assassinated last season, which surprisingly makes Opie’s commitment to SAMCRO even stronger. “Opie is a guy who needs a task,” series creator Kurt Sutter says. Opie’s task will find him getting even closer to Clay, which will most definitely have an impact on Jax’s emotional arc this season.

Everyone is definitely anticipating the return of SoA. Even though the first season started out a little slow, I have a feeling that all of the media buzz and critical acclaim will pull in a ton more viewers for season 2, which is very much the same phenomenon that happened to season 2 of HBO’s True Blood.
Until next week!
