'Sons of Anarchy' Series Finale Spoiled, Kurt Sutter Goes On Expletive-Filled Rant
by Andy Neuenschwander"Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter certainly has a way with words.
The showrunner put together a book that was supposed to serve as a companion to his hit FX biker drama. The book apparently includes behind-the-scenes photos, quotes from the cast...and spoilers for the "Sons of Anarchy" series finale.
The problem is, the book shipped out early, so fans who pre-ordered read the book—and saw the spoilers—before the final episode of the show aired.
Naturally, Sutter was pissed.
"It has been brought to my attention that our SOA Collector's Edition Book has been sent out a week early by some distributors and book outlets," Sutter wrote on Twitter. "This book contains details about the final episode of the series. This, my friends is a storyteller's worst nightmare. I wanted this book to be a compliment to the show. It contains personal messages and photos from the cast, in-depth behind the scenes information and detailed breakdown of episodes. It's a smart, well-conceived book that I was very excited for the fans to have. AFTER the motherf--king finale. There are a thousand f--king people I can blame. And I assure you, by the time I am done, my f--king basket will be filled with heads of incompetent c--ts."
Colorful, right? He continued:
"But as far as the fans go, the burden is on me. I f--ked up. It was my idea for the book, so ultimately, I am to blame. So if you received a book, I apologize. I ask that you not share your wrath or pain or opinion in social media so as to not spoil the experience of others. There is no excuse for utter ineptitude. It pains me that this will be the parting memory of some fans. I hope you all tune in for the finale. It plays much better than it reads."
Considering the show's passionate fan base, it's no surprise that Sutter is getting some serious backlash over this. After all, it's not just a regular ol' spoiler; it's a spoiler for the ending of the entire show.
We haven't read the book (for obvious reasons), and we hope all you SOA fans out there haven't either!
