Man. Fuck that scene. Spoiler Gemma had entirely too much power and control in her own demise. Justice WAS NOT done with that. Fuck Kurt Sutter for wanting to give his wife one more entirely too long segment of screen time. Jax just spent the entire season blowing shit up and asking for details later...in revenge for Tara. But when it comes to Gemma - who by the way is one of the most manipulative, lying, scumbag characters written for a female actress in ages - SHE got to control where, when, and how she died. I don't understand the grief in killing the woman responsible for the death of his father, his wife, his brethren, and ultimately - she's responsible for his death. The grief is ridiculous. So. Disappointed.
Death count is at 99! How fitting would it be if Jax was the only one to die next week becoming number 100? Spoiler Episode 1: 1 dead in jail. The guy jax carved a swastica into. 4 dead in the hooker/ 3 preachers orgy 1 Chinese guy Gemma blamed for killing Tara Episode 2: 10 Chinese people transporting guns and heroin 2 guys they killed to frame them for killing 10 chinese people above Episode 3: 3 dead niners that had splintered off from the main niners 5 people that were deemed week niners *1 Hookers father (Not actually dead!) Episode 4 1 police officer 1 Son 16 hookers/ johns Episode 5 1 Pawn shop owner 1 Hotel worker 4 Asians in drive by shooting Episode 6 1 Convenience Store Owner 8 Guys associated with the person that drove the blue Impala Episode 7 Greensleeves the pimp Episode 8 Jury (Indian Hills SOA President) Episode 9 Bobby Elvis Episode 10 2 white supremacists that were making fun of Tig Leland when he went to kill the sheriff The security guy that satyed behind to watch Rat and the other guy 9 Security guys (This is a guess) 2 white supremacists (I think I saw two get shot in the shoot out) Head of security guy Episode 11 Henry Linn Episode 12 Juice Unser Gemma 5 Chinamen in a drive by 12 Chinamen in a card game in a locker room (had to pause the DVR to count) I've never watched a soap opera, but I have to assume this show would be worse than one. I can't wait for me to finally get a couple of hours of my life back every week. Once again a week with no surprises or shockers. This season has been nothing but a random violence generator leading to what we all know is coming. At least the plot moved, I guess. The only thing keeping me watching is that I know it is finally ending. Even though I'm guessing Jax will ride off the same cliff JT went off of, I kinda hope they end it like Dexter and keep him alive.
Spoiler You are missing the Irish gun connection that was taken out for his greedy side action. Not the only dues ex machina in the episode.
It was a requirement set forth by the other chapter for killing their president, and ensured Sons would allow non-whites into the club. It also got him out of the chapter and broke his kids free from the lifestyle, finally ending the circle of life.
Final Death Count- I think I have 108. Give or take a few. Spoiler Episode 1: 1 dead in jail. The guy jax carved a swastica into. 4 dead in the hooker/ 3 preachers orgy 1 Chinese guy Gemma blamed for killing Tara Episode 2: 10 Chinese people transporting guns and heroin 2 guys they killed to frame them for killing 10 chinese people above Episode 3: 3 dead niners that had splintered off from the main niners 5 people that were deemed week niners *1 Hookers father (Not actually dead!)

I liked the twist even though I knew the club would never kill Jax. I also liked him killing Barosky and Marks. The rest was kind of meh. The final scene's cinematography was terrible. It looked they were going five miles an hour. They may have actually been going five miles an hour. I figured they had ways to make that look better. Instead we should speculate on how we wanted it to end. I wanted Able to come in and kill the entire club before they could kill Jax. Then the last scene could have been Jax and his boys driving a tractor trailer in Argentina while he tries to teach the kids his code and how to deal with dark passenger.
