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? 

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...

Hot Badass Bikers...Yes Please!!!!

Nothing says hot badass biker, your mama warned you about, better then Sons of Anarchy. I knew of the hit show, when it first aired, but it wasn’t until 4 seasons later that I got hooked. Much thanks to a coworker of mine, she told me I needed to watch this “riveting” show. I wouldn’t have thought to put bikers and riveting in the same sentence, but who am I to judge. One show in and it was a done deal. Hot men, doing bad things, and strong women who don’t take any shit. Where do I sign up?

I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to go to Comic Con this year. Yup, I’m a first timer!!! I only had Thursday and Sunday tickets, and I had no idea what the schedule was going to be. Much to my surprise, and fan-girl screaming…the last panel of the day on Sunday in the infamous Hall H was gonna be the Sons!!!
When I finally made it to the front of the line to get in to Hall H, I was way in the back. Mind you, this auditorium seats 6500 people. This just wasn’t working for me.  This was my only opportunity to be up close and personal with the bad boys and bitches from one of my favorite shows…yea, I became a ninja…made it to the 6^th row center…I got skills!!
It was beyond worth it, because they are such an awesome group of actors. The energy in the room was pure love. Ecstatic fans applauded and screamed for what seemed like forever, and I got to be a part of that experience. It was priceless. They showed the clip for Season 6, and all I can say is get ready, because it’s gonna be a wild ride!!!!
I know it's been awhile since Comic Con, but I it speaks volumes to the series, its creator and actors to have such a huge following present year after year, at a venue such as Comic Con. Walking out of Hall H, I just wanted it to start already. You become so attached to these characters, and we got a first hand look at how the tables were starting to turn for the upcoming season.
Fast forward to the present...what a wild ride its been since the new season started. Its had more WTF moments than any other season, and we're only midway through. Looking back on the last 6 episodes, it's been complete mayhem for club, for Nero,  and Tara.
Some difficult decisions had to be made, were they the right ones...It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.
