Spoiler...
Sutter wrote SOA planning for 5 seasons... Opie was supposed to die in the truck, not Donna... When he learned they'd gotten picked up for 7 seasons, he spared him... Which was awesome, considering what he did to the carpet munching fed...
Add in the fact that he had contract problems signing on every season, he sent him off as a fan favorite, just in a curious way... Stepping up for Jax, while accurate to their history, could have been done a bit more tactfully...
Make no mistake though, Sutter is a brilliant writer... We'll all feel better when Jax unleashes hell...
