Sons of Anarchy wasn't on tonight, in case you guys didn't notice. Not even a repeat. It is (almost) Thanksgiving, after all. But don't worry, creator Kurt Sutter did a Twitter Q&A so that (kind of) makes up for the lack of Sons tonight.

For those who were broken apart, devastated and various other feelings of anger and/or excitement after witnessing Clay's (Ron Perlman) death scene, you might be interested to know how Sutter felt while writing said scene. To him, it was just another day at the ol' office.

In a Twitter Q&A with fans, someone asked Sutter if it killed him when he wrote Clay's execution. His answer? "Just another day." Not that we expect anything less from Sutter. Of course he shrugs like it ain't no thing after killing off one of his main characters. Play on, Sutter. Play on.

Most of the notable stuff from Kurt's Twitter-fest mostly consist of things we can't copy and paste here, but there were some Sons' items that we fished from the murky waters. Highlights? Kurt plans on doing another series for FX, he thinks Brian from Family Guy is alive and there is hope for Tara (Maggie Siff) and Jax (Charlie Hunnam). Check out the "transcript" below:
