Jax dies? I can't wait to see how this ends. Will he kill Gemma? I'm just glad Tara is gone. She ruined last season. Way too much focus on her shit.

Yeah, I feel like between Tara and Clay the show finally shed all the baggage that really held it back for the past couple seasons.

Speaking of Clay I feel like they really messed up by killing him when they did. It would have been perfect for Opie to kill him once he killed his dad or for Jax to do it for him. It just felt like the way it went down was so anticlimatic and didn't have the force it would have had earlier. I hope they don't spend alot of time on Jax trying to fight for control of his kids now.

Yeah, I thought Clay was a great character, but I knew he had to die. And since I knew he had to die, I wanted it to have some sort of meaning - they stretched it out for so long that you basically lost all suspension of disbelief as to how he was still alive. He was basically just around to give Ron Perlman work, and despite my opinion that Ron Perlman should have decent work whenever the hell he wants it, that's not how you make good drama.
Yup, Sutter not having the balls to kill one of his darlings at that point was when the show really went down hill for me. He had created this violent universe, but when it came down to it, he couldn't keep to his own rules. This lead to Opie becoming an impossible character to write and ending up the sacrificial "look guys, I can kill main characters (but only after they've become impotent)" lamb and those godawful "We can't kill Clay because of the CIA/Irish" (still cant believe they did the same story twice).
Same with Gemma too - another character that shouldn't be alive but is forced into the show because she's the boss's wife. After years of teasing JT's letters, the story goes absolutely nowhere because Sutter didn't want to write the only realistic outcome. This meant Tara's character couldn't evolve naturally because she was needed to give Gemma something to do - the amount of times it made perfect sense for Tara to tell Jax about the letters but she didn't was staggering - almost as high as the amount of times Gemma being in the right place at right time to intercept a letter/package for Tara as a plot point.
Ugh, rant over. This show could have been so good if Sutter wasn't such a pussy.

The worst part is that he seems unable to confront his own shortcomings, so he keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over again...
Self criticism is an alien notion to him.

Any news on Kim Dickens and her spectacular ass appearing again this season?

Soooooo...Courtney Love.
I just hope Jax doesn't fuck her, because seeing her in a sex scene might just make my wiener fall off.
"The Hole frontwoman has signed on for a multi-episode arc in which shell play Ms. Harrison, a teacher who Variety says takes a special interest in Abel, eldest son of Jax."

Oh God.
Edit: for the record, I'm a big fan of Hole. But nope.

Oh god, the only thing I have seen her in was Sid and Nancy and the few seconds of screen time she had was absolutely terrible. Can't stand Love, hope she doesnt have a huge role because I would like the final season to be good and not tainted by her presence.

At least we'll get some decent humour out of that arc.
There's just so much I could do with this post. I don't know where to begin.
Last season had some really brilliant moments that felt like earlier seasons. The last five minutes of the finale really pissed me off though. Once this final season is over I am done with all things Sutter. The dude is a fucking hack. I finished watching all of The Shield seasons a few days ago and I could just tell (later confirmed by internets) which episodes were written by him by its sheer ridiculous, trite content made purely for shock value (e.g. Aceveda
.
getting sexually assaulted)

She's a good actress, atleast from the stuff she did before. Also this article let me know that Marilyn Manson is playing a white supremacist lol

I can't wait to see that. Henry Rollins was surprisingly good.

Funnily enough i am actually looking forward to seeing Manosn in this, i liked him in Party Monster (even though it was a small part) and the idea of his character is very interesting for him to play so it could be fun.
Love though, i just cant stand the woman so im less interested in seeing her on screen.

This is one of the few shows I watch where I really don't like the main character. Jax is so unlikable to me
I hate him as much as Gemma (how is she still alive?!?)
Luckily, Tig is the greatest character ever. But if they kill him I will be sad

Since season 5 he is meant to be hated. He's become Clay.
I just wish these two would appear.
This. But the one who REALLY NEEDS to be in is Michael Chiklis. He's the only big Shield name which hasn't appeared yet.
Marilyn Manson's role should've been his.

I hope the series ends with Jax standing upon the ashes of everyone around him. He places his palm face down on it all. Then rubs the ashes all over his face. Then just walks away. All this while Nuclear by Mike Oldfield is playing.
What a powerful ending that could be.

If Gemma makes it out alive, I will be absolutely shocked.

Jax is death. It means he's going to kill everyone. Hopefully starting with Tig, bastard should have died back in season 2, but nope.
Tig, Gemma, the rest of the Sons, the Irish, the other gangs. Final scene in the final episode sees him in a cabin raising his sons and telling them about Tara and how much she sacrificed for them.
Camera zooms out, we see zombie Gemma watching them from afar, she cracks a smile and slowly shuffles off into the mist.
Fin.
Jax will die, and Gemma will be "forced to live with herself". Sutter physically cannot write her death.
If Sutter ever wants to have sex again he better not kill her.

I hate that thought, but you're probably right.

I'm still waiting for the inevitable episode that is just one hour long Katey Sagal music montage.
Gemma can't die because she's the head writer's waifu!
He's just going to make her being raped for the third time that's all!
Gemma's the villain. Obviously she's still alive. I don't know if she's going to survive the last season or not, but she's pivotal to the show, now more than ever.

Just make sure you leave some time for the 13-minute previously on Sons of Anarchy segment, too.

Gemma has Tig under her little finger, wouldn't surprise me if she uses him to take down Jax when it becomes apparent she no longer has any control over him and what he plans to do with her grand kids.
Yep, that's one of the things that crossed my mind. That awkward thing they had at the end of season 2 was never brought up again, but if there's something Sutter is good at is character consistency. So, maybe...

1 hr 45? Goddamn. I hope every episode isn't 90+ minutes this season again. Sutter needs an editor almost as much as George R R Martin does.

At least 25 minutes of that will be montages.

When they announced the after show for the final season of Breaking Bad, I predicted that every show would have it's own after show. The flood is coming.
