'Sons of Anarchy' Season 6 Spoilers: Kurt Sutter Dishes On Meaning Behind Episode Titles [VIDEO, NEWS]
FX's hit biker series, Sons of Anarchy, continues to garner attention for its upcoming sixth season at quite an astounding rate.
With the popular program just a little over three weeks away from its fall return, creator Kurt Sutter made one of his regular WTFSutter videos to touch on how he chooses his episode titles, which includes memorable ones such as Laying Pipe and Crucifixed.
"I take my titles very seriously ... I like to perhaps engage folks with a title, obviously without spoiling anything. I don't look at any of my titles being clever or funny, I try to avoid that. For me, it's an opportunity to wink towards loftier ideals that perhaps the show never quite reaches. There's a lot of literary references, there's a lot of religious references. A lot of times if I can't come up with a title, I'll just pick an obvious title and change the language ... That's a cheat, but I do it," he said.
Sutter, who surely has a full room of talented writers, also stated that he's typically the gatekeeper of the writer's room when it comes to who has the final say in the installments' titles.
"I usually try to acknowledge the story in some way, and finding a common theme that runs in each episode, so that there is some sense of it all coming back around to an episode. I'm very proprietary with my titles ... I always sort of have final say on titles," Sutter added.
