I just finished the ending of the final episode, so here's some of my thoughts on it:
I was mostly content with Jax finishing up his business responsibilities with the club and making preparations for Wendy and his kids.I do agree that Jax killing one of the Irish Kings didn't make a whole lot of sense. Although, I suppose Jax felt that the Mayans backing up Samcro would be enough to handle any Irish retaliation. I didn't appreciate the scene where the club initially appeared to be ready to kill Jax because of the vote, only to do fake out. With that said, I never expected Samcro would kill Jax despite all the shit he and his family caused for the club. I expected Jax would willingly surrender his cut and he did, but strangely his tattoos weren't taken care of.
Jax's death felt justified to symbolically go out like his father did on his dad's bike .Unfortunately , the camera spent too much time on Jax as he led the motorcycle into a head-on collision with the truck, which made it look like a phony and poorly executed death scene. Also, Jax's "Jesus stance" on the bike was perhaps corny and over dramatic, but Jax probably felt like it was his moment of relief, so I can understand why he took his hands off the bike and accepted his opportunity to cause his death. In the past seasons, suicide didn't seem like something he would ever consider, but the suffering he's been through with many of his friends and family getting killed, and the realization that he couldn't leave the lifestyle he led even after Tara was gone, finally led him to make the necessary changes he had to make, even though it was too late for him to remain a part of his boy's lives.
The abrupt death scene transitioning to the shot of the crows peaking at the piece of bread and the Shakespeare quite was too over the top, Sutter.
