9) Jax telling Tara "I will never let that happen"

Jax could never hate Tara, and yes I think he will forgive her of this. In fact I think he already has, he's moved on to blaming himself, as usual. As he should.

Yeah but i was also disappointed that Unser lost his nerve once he realized Tara would be on the receiving end of Gemma's wrath. He handed Lowen to an insanely mad & armed Jax. Unser can be a great voice of reason but was a complete coward last week.

They appeared to have a chlidren's pattern on them. All different colors. Maybe little motorcyles?

Yup, in typical SOA fashion. Hopefully it will all make sense in the end.

The common thread is the fact they are both emotionally manipulative. That's Gemma's staple manuever that Tara's copied.

I for one did notice Tig's enormous grandpa boxers.

I wouldn't mind the long episodes if they did less A-Team style shootouts, and random side missions, and more Tara & Jax!

Criminals like Juice (and all the rest) use burners / flip phones because they're untraceable. Jax has several and makes Tara use them when she talks to them.

It is Jax's fault. The best thing he can do for Tara is let her go, with the boys. Hopefully he will do that.

Yeah, not many or our local crews this season.

I'd kind of love it if Jax killed Gemma. As twisted as that sounds.

Agree with both points. SOA villians must be over the top so we can feel good rooting for murderous biker pimps.

I really don't understand how Tara can be hated.
She isn't Skylar White (wife on Breaking Bad)! Quite the oppostie, actually. For the entire show Tara has supported Jax, never judged him, accepted him for who he was, gave birth alone and raised his other son (after he cheated on her), she played nice with Gemma,…

No she does crazy shit to get what she wants. She faked a seizure and took an ice bath so she could escape from the hospital (and federal release) to run off to Ireland to help find Abel. She beats b*tches up. Regularly! Really, are we watching the same show?

Agree jay sherman, TOTAL BS. Gemma would do anything if it meant protecting her family. She doesn't have to be that desperate because she's never in a David & Goliath situation.Her kid is grown, she always has support - and a son that will never entirely write her off. Tara has nothing but her kids. Literally…

Totally agree. The relationships between Jax/Tara, Tara/Gemma are most interesting and it seems that's the arc that deserves the most screen time, at least right now. Editorially, it's clunky and unnecessary to over complicate the gun plot by adding in the Chinese in episode 10. I just assume the Chinese were…

I'm with you. Jax and Tara's relationship kept me invested in this show. It was the only thing that seemed constant, the only thing was was REAL in this insane biker universe. As much as i like the couple, I really love Tara (and Maggie Siff is amazing!) so I'm more into seeing Tara come out on top. Or at least…

He cares a lot. More than she does.
