Hopefully they hired a short actress to play Britta so they could still do the handshake.

I agree whole heartedly with the first point, it's easy to forget just how much JT's journal and Jax's writing framed the first few seasons, to wrap up that entire plot by having Jax throw them all into a fire was a tremendous cop out.

After sleeping on it, I think the final montage would have been immeasurably better if the soundtrack had been either "A Day In The Life," or a rootsy half-speed cover of "Yakkety Sax," with Katy Sagal singing the saxophone part.

I would have also accepted Dexter driving a logging truck.

I was thinking they could have gone the "Rescue Me" route and had Jax, Tara and Opie drive off like Danny and Sandy at the end of "Grease".

I just want to say how impressed I was that Sutter still managed to give his wife more screen time in this episode than Barofsky, Alvarez an August Marks combined.

I dunno traffic looked awfully light to me.

One other thing I almost forgot. When the club sat down with Connor, he says to Jax, "Do you respect me, son?" And proceeds to rattle off every dumb gang related thing the Sons have done since giving Marks the gun trade. Then in the scene with the Kings, they tell Jax that Connor has been pocketing the profits from…

When you back out the commercials, you're getting about the same amount of show as a similar 1-hour drama on HBO or Showtime. I never heard anyone complain that "The Sopranos" or "Game of Thrones" episodes were too long.

Good point about the time change, as that would also mean that when Jax placed his follow-up call to the Kings "just before 6", it was 2:00AM in Belfast, yet somehow the recipient was hanging out in his living room sipping a drink.

I'm still trying to figure out how the house wasn't sealed/taped off as part of the investigation, given that a kid who massacred his classmates with a machine gun lived there. Nah, let's just sit out in front while the kid's junkie Mom hangs out inside blasting Mexican pop with a couple of cholos. Have another…

I guess August Marks and Jax both learned that lesson from Pope - get someone outside to handle your dirty work.

This seems preposterous, but… any chance Clay is the rat and that he gave up Tara in a last-ditch attempt to save his own ass in prison?

Many a nostril flared in the writers' room that day.

The fight choreography was okay, but their foley artist really needs to invest in a few more punch SFX. I was half expecting Galaan to let out a Wilhelm scream at some point.
