"We're sich turrible shets Jacky dinna git shit! Happy git shit! Jacky rin out da door an we canna find im…fook lookata news!

SOA did a shit job with their female characters.

He got that much right. For all his talk, every time Tara offered him a way to keep his sons out of the life, he went right to "I can make this right".

The ending montage was More of The Same….they could have done better.

What better option? Jax was ALWAYS looking for a woman to take care of them. That was never going to change.

How would things be better with fearless leader Jax around?

His father and his "legacy" played into it. JT just looked noble because he was dead.

I have laughed through most of this season.

If the show is all about men (which SOA was), yes.

Yes….that scene had me wondering how much do they pay Goggins to put on the C cups for a short scene with no lines?

Just this season?

I have to post these lyrics to the opening montage. They fit SOA.
Yes SOA overdid the montages, but I think they hit with this one. The lyrics are hard to hear and they are from way back in 1978. FWIW.

Agreed….SOA was never good at making its main characters consistently look like human beings.(Opie was a big exception.) IMO, one of the biggest flaws.

The manly hugs betwixt declared homophobes probably accounted for ALL the extended run times this season.

Jax was a CEO….they don't do things, they have people to do them. Too bad Jax didn't have a PR/Director of Bereavement to get this done.
This is not his fault, nothing ever is!

Yes…SOA had ratings so FX gave the go ahead for more minutes of goo-goo-ga-ga fiiler. That would have been great with good writers and/or showrunners. On SOA, it was just a lot of BS.

I actually liked the opening montage, once it got going. As a Springsteen fan, I choked when the song started playiing….but it worked,

Did Jax have an actual upbringing? Besides Gemma giving him Dad's ring and handing him off to a random Crow Eating sitter?

Like that their armory gets looted every other week?

I can see why - she probably doesn't understand half of what he says to her.
