The Many Sides of Jax

With writing for Season 7 well underway, this will be the final season for Sons of Anarchy. Before a new season begins I usually go back and re-watch the last one, but I'm not sure I can this final time around. Season 6 was a super charged emotional ride from start to finish, but it was the end that was hard to shake off. It wasn't just Tara's brutal death, but what the aftermath will be for Jax...losing his true North. I think next season will bring an entirely different side of Jax, one that's not pictured above!!

A Little Jax for Your Hump Day

I don't even wanna think about Season 7 being the last season of Sons of Anarchy. So instead I'm just gonna think about this:

Happy Hump Day xoxo

SHOCK AND AWE...A Mother's Work

I came home last night, got comfy and settled, ready to watch the final episode of season 6 Sons of Anarchy. I did my best to not read any social media earlier in the day, but I knew something BIG was going to do down. And I thought I would be ready for whatever the ending was going to be...I was dead wrong. I turned the TV off, with tears in my eyes, and loathing for what I just witnessed. 

I'm still in shock writing this. I feel so much hatred for the events that happened. I was so taken back and I feel like an emotional wreck. Driving to work today my friend called me to see if I had watched the final episode, and so we both ranted, as if we know these people personally, as if their not characters but real people. Hats off to you Mr. Sutter for being the KICK-ASS writer that you are!!

For those living under a rock the last few days, I'm sorry to inform you our beloved Tara is dead. The bitterness I feel is not just because she got killed, rather HOW she was murdered. All season we worried about Tara's safety, her motives, her feelings for Jax. There's a scene after Jax tells Tara he will never hurt her, and they're alone together, and without speaking their honest and raw love for one another comes out. Tara has been and will always be Jax's true love. I have never been more proud of Jax's decision to do the right thing, and turn himself in, and protect the love of his life and his children. To be a father and husband first over the club. 

Of course there's always a twist. That leads us to dear ol' Gemma. Let me begin by saying that throughout the seasons, I've always been a Gemma fan...Not any more. I have pure hatred searing through my veins for her. Killing Tara in the most brutal and gruesome way, I hope she pays dearly for it next season. I hope they hang the bitch!!!! 

This is the beginning of the end...with one more season to go, I hope Jax finds out the truth of what Gemma did to his wife, and to his own father. Most importantly, I hope he finds peace. 

Say Goodbye To....Morrow

The end really is coming...Last night's episode of Sons of Anarchy proved that point undeniably. When I look back to their panel at Comic Con this past summer, I remember Ron Pearlman referencing that this season was all about redemption for his character. I do think that throughout the season we did see Clay Morrow try to redeem himself. Since the beginning Clay has always found a way to come out unscathed. However, last night, this was not the case. 

A bullet to the neck, by the hand of his "son." A chest riddled with bullets for the man who was responsible for the death of Jax's father. An ex wife, who claims hatred for this man, stands 30 feet away, and watches her son kill him so brutally. And she never saw it coming. 

There has been quite a few deaths of our beloved characters through the seasons; Piney, Otto, Opie (one of the hardest to watch), but seeing the end for Clay Morrow was EPIC. What does the future hold for SAMCRO? Its Teller-Morrow no more...

What's Their Fate?

Just one more day until the next episode of Sons of Anarchy. One could say that the fate of everyone is on the line. That being said, one of the hardest story lines to watch this season is about Tara. Has she really gone off the deep end? What are your thoughts? In the beginning I completely understood her desire to get her children away from Charming, away from the club. However, after seeing her last week, I saw something beyond hopelessness. Her master plan to escape completely unraveled before her, leaving her with no alternative. Watching Tara walk out of Patterson's office, I genuinely felt scared for her well being. She looked like she was seriously riding the crazy train. Of course she did just witness Jax in bed with that blond piece of old trash. AGAIN!!!! 

Let me not dwell on that...Switching gears, the fate of the club relies on Jax's plan against the Irish. Will they ever be out of the gun business? Can they pull this off, and walk away unscathed...what do you think?

Truths

What a powerful episode of this week's Sons of Anarchy. I wanted to write about it sooner, but I had to digest it all. I think most viewers know that more than likely next season will be the last season in the series. For me this episode made a sharp turn in the series. It was all about the truth. There are so many twists and turns in each episode, lies and deceit to both hurt and protect the club. Watching Jax find out what Tara was doing, was painful to watch. I'll go into that further, but first I think what was most shocking was Gemma finally telling the truth about what happened to John Teller. The series began with Jax finding his fathers journal of his thoughts about what the club was supposed to be, what it became and his fears of his own life. As the series progressed we the fans found out the entire truth, but to finally hear Gemma admit it to Nero, to say it aloud was such a powerful moment. But will Gemma ever tell Jax, the one person who needs to know the full truth of what happened to his father. Now is the time for Gemma to make amends with her past, before Tara says it first. 

And poor Tara, rocking her baby, with a gun on her lap...not knowing whats in store for her now that Jax knows the truth. Tara by far has gone way over the edge this season. While I understand her fierce desire to get her boys out of Charming, away from that lifestyle, lying about a pregnancy and staging a fake miscarriage is crossing the line by extremes. Jax hasn't always made the right choices, but no one can deny the love he has for Tara. Where does he go from that truth, that anger, that hurt? 

Michonne & Daryl

For all you Walking Dead fans...how much do love Michonne and Daryl??!!! They are by far 2 of my most favorite characters. Now Daryl as you know has been in the series since the first season, and we got introduced to Michonne in season 3. 

Both are similar in a way; fierce killers, they don't show emotion too much but you know they love deeply, and most importantly their honorable and loyal.

Now some may disagree, but there is something about Daryl that makes him HOT.

Maybe its the dirt, the attitude, or just his badass demeanor, whatever it is, it works on him. Watching him take down those nasty zombies with his bow and arrows is pretty hot too. 

Now when Michonne came into the group I was so taken with her character. She embodies such strength and heart.  And no one is fiercer with a sword...She's someone I would want on my side, if i was faced with hundreds of kinda sorta dead people coming at me. 

Now in its fourth season, we haven't seen a love interest for Daryl. It's would definitely take a certain type of woman to handle Daryl, and I think she would have to really be his equal. I think you see where I'm going with this. I think a more personal relationship between these two are in order this season. I also believe the chemistry between them would be insane. One trying to dominate the other, or would they show their vulnerability with one another?  I think we're ready to see our beloved Daryl get some post apocalyptic lovin!!!! 

Tara vs. Gemma

If you caught this week's SOA episode than your jaw may have dropped a little from Tara's performance with Gemma. Now I've read some posts, and people are pissed at Tara. People think she's gone too far. She's showing a side of her that we've never seen, and now people want to criticize her for it. We tend to get so attached to these characters, so when actions and behaviors start to shift it causes an uproar. And isn't that the point  - doesn't that make for a good show. 

Tara has had a great mentor through the seasons, whether she wants to accept it or not. That stunt she pulled with Gemma, has Gemma written all over it. If she hadn't learned from the Queen herself how to play dirty to protect her family, she wouldn't have had the balls to do what she did. 

Tara's been screwed over time and time again because of the decisions and actions of the club, and she's taken it. Now with the possibility of jail ahead of her, Tara did what any mother would do, she did what Gemma would do. Was I shocked, absolutely, was I pissed at her...no.

I guess I'll open it up and see what others thought about her fake pregnancy, and alleged altercation with her mother in law...

Jessica Lange says she'll leave 'American Horror Story' after next season

Veteran actress, two-time Oscar winner, and highlight of every "American Horror Story" season since it debuted Jessica Lange says she'll depart the series after next season, and is planning to retire from acting entirely.

"I am coming to the end of acting," the 64-year-old told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday. "I have a list: Another stage production, maybe one or two more movies, one more season of 'American Horror Story' ... and then that is it for me. Because I think that's enough. I want to go out with a bang ... or should I say a scare?"

Lange has appeared as different characters in each season of "AHS," roles that have given her four decades-long career a new boost (plus an Emmy win). "Coven," the latest season, premiered to over 7 million viewers on Oct. 9 and the first two episodes are among the top-watched shows ever on FX. 

"It re-energized me; it re-energized my career," Lange said of the series. "There's no shame in recognizing that. It's exposed me to a whole new generation, which is a little strange. I'm not used to young people thinking I'm cool."
