lol yeah that's the biggest thing for me. I used to enjoy the show as a guilty pleasure and it at least had some decent things going on to justify watching live. at this point the extended run time has worn out its welcome and there's no way I'm watching the next episode live, will wait till the next day and fast forward the slow parts.
I really wish I went to sleep instead of watching last night's ep., show definitely should have ended with season 6.

Well Clay should have died in s5 by the hands of Opie or Jax after Clay killed his dad and that should have been the end of the show. It was still going strong in 5.
Also, why the fuck did they spend the entire season with Juice hiding from Jax, and building, and building until the club finally gets their hands on him again. Wow, finally!
.... 5 minutes later they put him on a bike and send him to jail for part of their magical plan.
Nothing has any consequence, even in the last season.

It seems like this whole exchange was cut out of a fuckibg extended episode so they could include a bunch of pointless shit like a Jewish pimp. Such a jarring time lapse from them taking Juice at the very end and at the beginning of this episode the plan already concocted.

It was just strange. So many pointless scenes that are completely meaningless and they don't even show us what happened between Juice and the rest of the MC?
Sutter is a goddamn hack.

Clay should have died back in season 3 with seasons 4 and 5 serving as the wrap up to the story of the Sons.
Instead we got the garbage baby kidnapping, Charming take over, the Irish, drugs and I can't even remember what other garbage was in there to pad out the show.

So Gemma cried her little heart out so Thomas would hear it. Contrived bs. I'm honestly watching this all the way through just to see the look on Jax's face when he realizes the truth and the severity of the consequences he has to deal with for going all out on a lie. It better be fucking good.

I'm starting to believe he will never find out. Instead Abel will kill Gemma and then Jax will kill Wendy or some garbage. Or maybe Jax will have to put Abel down. I'm almost hoping for something that absurd at this point.

LOL the best part of the episode (sadly) was Tig fucking with Unser randomly for like 3 seconds when he was walking back to his car.

I'm sticking with my theory that he'll find out but Gemma will convince Nero he's gone mad or has been fed lies or some such BS, confrontation ensues, Gemma legs it with the kids while they duke it out.
Flashforward five years, scene opens on Gemma laying in a motel bed, Thomas now a sprightly little shit is watching cartoons and suddenly Abel comes into shot holding a hammer.
He stares at Gemma and begins to walk towards the the bed. Credits roll.

Was that what it was? I was having a real hard time paying attention during portions of this episode. I guess he makes the more logical target.

The worst part is that Sutter insults anyone who dares to criticize his show. I know people say its important to separate the art from the artist, but Sutter is such a prick towards anyone who criticizes his show its hard to do that. It doesn't help that the show hasn't been that great either.
Anyway major laughs were had at the female cop keeping her mouth shut because she went to high school with Jax. Are you fucking kidding me with that?! Seriously Jax and the Sons are the reason Charming has been so messed up. They're the ones who have brought murder and mayhem, at this point it would be better if the Sons went down. For someone like her to say this just blows my mind.

I just can't grasp how they thought 90 mins was necessary for the episode. Nothing happened in it other than bobby's eye and juice going to jail.
how many more episodes are there?

I'm standing by the belief that the network wanted longer episodes and paid Sutter to give it to them. Every episode since last season has been an extended one as far as I remember.

I'm just hoping Abel goes Thor on everyone with his Samcro Power Hammer and rides off with Thomas on his dad's bike to live a better life. Into the sunset, naturally. With a Katey Sagal song in the background. In montage form.

Imagine Abel and Harrison meeting? Hammer vs treadmill would be a fight of the century.

It was hilarious him trying not to smile and look sad when he walked past the dinner table and looked at everyone.

So are they really going to make Abel tell daddy what happened. Why is Juice protecting Gemma lol.
Takamura-San

I don't think that at this point Juice is protecting Gemma. More like he's looking for ways too get back into the club. Also he may also realize that it is unlikely they will believe his story.
BoboBrazil
Member
Yet, last episode he was willing to rat them out to get across the border.
Takamura-San
Member
That was after he talked to chibs and saw no other way out. I'm not saying that his logic is sound. Just that he knows that it is unlikely they will believe him. At the same time this is post Gemma was framed by Tara. Meaning that somehow Gemma seems more believable to Jax than Juice ever will by now.
Juice's stupidest (of all of them) decision was get rid of the fork. That was his insurance, yet he threw it away.

People aren't liking this season? Damn...its my favorite one so far. I'm loving it.

Gemma was going to kill him. He's going to jail for life for being a cop killer now. If he would have told Jax he would have a chance of being free. It's bullshit that he would go to prison and risk being killed instead of giving up Gemma.

Jesus, poor Bobby. Another victim of friggen Gemma. You know, I agree that prerty much nothing makes sense but I still find myself enjoying it enough. I have never hated a character more than gemma though

I believe Gemma will be the final character shown when the screen fades to black. She will get Jax, Nero, Abel, and the baby killed and the show will end with her realizing that she caused it all and have to live with it.
Dragonborn

Don't even joke about that man..... who am I kiddin, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if that happens. And honestly, Jax is so stupid I feel he'll never actually find out.
Can't believe how massively they underestimated Marks. I mean, what the hell
SirMossyBloke

Nah man. Its enjoyable. Although the music at the end of every episode signifying a big incident is getting a little old.
BoboBrazil
Member
I'm almost 100% sure this is what will happen. Sutter won't kill his wife.
-Pyromaniac-
Member
I bet jax finds out but rather than killing her he just cuts her off and says to never come near the club or his kids or anybody. Probably worse than death for gemma.
But not as satisfying for us

Ireland stuff was horrible because it was hard to understand those guys with their accents, but the stuff in that season that was back in Charming was still good. Plus the show was just better with Clay.
dead souls

Yeah, a lot of people ragged on Sutter for keeping Perlman around way past the point of believability given all the shit that Clay pulled, but the show is really hurt by his absence.

Well the show should have ended with him. The looming confrontation between Jax and Clay/Gemma was always the most important thing building up over the first few seasons. And when Sutter kept getting cash to keep the show going he lost sight of his vision and completely dropped that thread with killing Tara.
Show would have been remembered much more fondly IMO if he had just built on that and ended the show with its climax instead of all this extraneous bullshit.
-Pyromaniac-

Concerning the promo. I thought this certain thread was dead in the water but I guess not.
The old dude that jax pissed off from the other charter apparently knows what happened to John Teller. I didn't think there was anyone who knows other than Tara and Gemma, unless I'm wrong. But anyway it would be great if Jax found out about that AND Tara. Dat wrath.

This episode.. so bad...Maybe the worst episode of the show.
Maybe it's not worse than Dexter final season, but for me it's harder to watch. It just feels the show is crushing my souls little by little, one bloated dialogue after another, one shitty GTA subquest 40 minutes long every episode. They don't even address the fake cliffhangers anymore. I just can't understand how a creator can envision a final season like this, I can't fathom how Sutter believed this is a worthy send off for a series he worked on for seven years.
I don't even care about the characters anymore. I just want to see the conclusion. Bobby's a dead man. I don't see how they're getting him out of this and since this is the final season, some Sons are bound to die. At least we're half way home. Although Sutter seems to be trying to squeeze an extra season in by running each episode 90 friggin' minutes.
Ireland season was worse because it came after the show's best season.
It has been on a pretty steady decline since then, so the relative drop in quality for this season is less pronounced.
