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!!

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?

What Comes Around Goes Around

We all saw how explosive the season opened, with the school shooting. Fresh on the minds and in the hearts of many, this hit a nerve with viewers. Some were appalled that the shows creator Kurt Sutter would go there. In the wake of the tragedy at Newtown, and with all the senseless and disgusting events that have been happening more and more, the end of episode 1 left many with a sick feeling in the pit of their stomachs. Where is this going, and why would they approach this subject at all?

I will point out in interviews with Mr. Sutter, it was mentioned that this topic was something he's wanted to do for a very long time.  And I commend him for doing it. He had the balls to embrace the reality of the world we live in today and show it in a very organic way.

Why I labeled this article "What Comes Around Goes Around," has bearing from this week's episode. You see a father who just lost his son in a horrific tragedy seek vengeance. Someone has to pay for whats happened to his little boy. Was he right to want to kill those whose hands are tainted? As a parent what would you do? You even see Nero take the blame for something he wasn't responsible for, in order for his child to have a better life. Tara hanging over the edge, doing things we never thought her capable of, so that her kids may get a chance at a better life.

Everyday we're faced with the harsh reality of life, and need to make those tough decisions...what would yours be?
