Yep. I was shocked at Jaxs breakdown.

I also really liked the jazz soundtrack to the car chase!

jax's murder of the other samcro president and its fallout have been really nicely done. very foreboding, a lot of creeping dread as the options narrow.

that was the same guy whose club they saved in Season 1, was it not? They patched them over? It is coming full circle. There have been so many mediocre seasons of this show, the first two seasons are so hazy in my memory.

jax is planning on dying very soon, isn't he?
― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Thursday, 4 December 2014 07:13 (nine years ago) link
I'm getting that impression. Kinda half thought he was gonna off himself in this ep from the way he was acting
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 5 December 2014 02:10 (nine years ago) link
only question is how. maybe forcing the gang to shoot him the way they did Clay?
― calstars, Friday, 5 December 2014 02:17 (nine years ago) link
well he did ask about the JT manuscript so that will probably play into his death scene.
― calstars, Friday, 5 December 2014 02:18 (nine years ago) link
blood on the manuscript, etc
force fed parts of his motorcycle piece by piece while a bluesy cover of 'Paradise City' plays over top

and what's the old policy thing he asked the other presidents to change? feel like that's something to do with his demise.

The bylaw is that there are no black SOA members. Which is a weird thing given John Teller's anarchist leanings - they just stole that device from the real Hells Angels but it doesn't fit this club.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Friday, 5 December 2014 05:39 (nine years ago) link
yeah but they've already covered that in old episodes
i reckon it's something else
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 5 December 2014 05:42 (nine years ago) link
he doesn't say it's anything to do with the race thing, although now that i think about it, it could be so that they can patch in the niners??
― just1n3, Friday, 5 December 2014 06:22 (nine years ago) link
the niners are worried about getting wiped out and jax has promised to take care of them, given all the help they given and risk taken.
― just1n3, Friday, 5 December 2014 06:23 (nine years ago) link
that would make sense -- also a lot of things from past seasons are getting brought up again, and not just the "take down the greedy gun dealer and the IRA Kings will give the club what they want" plot
― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Friday, 5 December 2014 06:28 (nine years ago) link
hmmm
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 5 December 2014 06:33 (nine years ago) link
he said it was an unofficial custom and not a bylaw, though
― valleys of your mind (mh), Friday, 5 December 2014 14:38 (nine years ago) link
Speculation I saw was patching the Grim Reapers to give the club enough bodies.

Because of the last few weeks irl, my first response was, "That's really not very many cops"
― Mistah FAAB (sarahell), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 20:45 (nine years ago) link
Cops pretty leisurely in pursuit. But who cares. Thank god this is done.

You probably should have gone with "it is finished" to further hammer home the clumsy Christ imagery.

that would have really "nailed" the ending

― valleys of your mind (mh), Thursday, 11 December 2014 02:09 (nine years ago) link
i really had hope that the great pulpy storytelling side of the show would surface as it finished..but man…this episode was so bad. so boring.
the mayhem vote was actually a good scene and to then ruin it by having it be another wacky jax plan..and the last scene is just such a huge pileup of terrible writing and directing and editing and acting decisions.
it's always been clear that kurt sutter thinks that jax is a really cool guy and not a pathetic asshole but i wasn't expecting the full blown tongue bathing that goes on here…lol at jax draped in his jedi knight robes on the courthouse steps

introducing michael chiklis as a truck driver character who just happens to give gemma a ride, then happens to be driving along when jax needs a truck to ride into

kind of hoping he gets a spinoff series

― things lose meaning over time (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 11 December 2014 16:49 (nine years ago) link
they should have let Gemma get away with chiklis, then went ahead with the rest of the plot. But then at the moment when Jax crashes, he sees Gemma in the passenger seat. Capture both of their facial expressions and end the series.
― calstars, Thursday, 11 December 2014 18:30 (nine years ago) link
The CGI at the end was hilariously bad, the rest of the episode was just bad.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Thursday, 11 December 2014 18:45 (nine years ago) link
i got tired of how bad they were at being criminals. i felt bad for them. i don't think they could have stolen a pack of gum without it ending in multiple deaths. i think i actually liked ireland the best. maybe i'll watch the last couple of seasons someday...

this show sounds terrible but why should i be surprised? tbh even when i liked SOA at the beginning it was still a dumb and faintly despicable show too.

Just finished season 6, Tara was my hero. Feel bad about people, my decisions, but at this point I have to see it out.

oh yeaaaa
― Spottie, Wednesday, 5 October 2016 03:05 (seven years ago) link
ugh
Tig just won my heart heart and might be the hero in this shitshow. How or why they decided to throw in this love story I have no idea, but in the midst of the murder, torture, sexism, and stubbornness I'm grateful there's an against all odds lay my soul bare love story. I still have 3 more episodes until the end, so they could just ruin it, but I hope not.
