that no matter how insane and dangerous their world got, and no matter how much self-destruction they caused, they were still as self-absorbed and delusional on the last episode as they were on the first

im also pretty sure they were making fun of the general trend in heavily serialized television that each season has to get crazier and crazier to keep its momentum. the "Sons of Anarchy Effect" if you will

i thought it was hilarious all the way thru, and i loved that each season was entirely different
