Thought this was a really, really mediocre premiere, but I may have been blinded by my own disinterest in anything Frank is doing, and my utter hatred of the miserable Sheila/Sammi story. And Carl is creeping close to DJ Conner territory for inability to carry even 10 seconds of screen time. Save us all, Fiona and Lip…

I like reading the comments section for this show because everyone is so aaaaangry about the pretend people. Episode was solid. Highlights were, as usual, Adam, Shosh, and Ray. There's something sort of incredibly watchable about Marnie, though. Everything she does is uncomfortable and/or awful. Hannah and Jessa have…

An SUV driven by a Mayan? GEMMA'S SUV!??!?!

"And those complaining that Jax made the poor truck driver kill him"

Jax's decision to sacrifice himself to the first truck driver who happened along was pretty remarkable. Then it's MILO? THE GUY FROM GEMMA LAST EPISODE? REMEMBER? GET IT? CROWS??? DO YOU GET IT??? *CROWS*??? Sweet job ruining another innocent person's psyche, Jax. Way to bow out in your true shithead style, outlaw.

Well, 18 minutes of plot are stretched out over 90 minutes, so that seems about right.

Glad Gemma gave Jax the OK to kill her. That way we know that Gemma doesn't really suffer a fate so much as she accepts that *she's ready* to pass on from this world. Hey, Gemma's had her fun. Go ahead and kill yr ol' ma, Jackson. Do her a favor. Oh, and be friends with Nero, he's a good guy. Too bad you had to kill…

Well, it was easily the best episode of the season, though still a far cry from the show's heyday. But that's just empty criticism, really.

Abel's got his lunchbox and he's armed real well

Well, Jax is a horrible father and stupid about everything else, so he might as well be stupid about that, too.

Kim Coates and Walton Goggins brought a lot more dignity to that scene than the writing earned, because Jesus Christ were those some horrible lines. Actors can really make all the difference, and they are both terrific. I was actually thinking earlier in the episode that Coates does a lot more with Tig than he's given…

Clay was a businessman who ran a good, tight ship. He was a murderer and a bad person and a real fucking son of a bitch, but I'll take that guy over dumbo Jax any damn day of the week.

What a piece of shit is show. Zack's exactly right about Abel: he's a prop. That's not a human being or a character, it's just a wandering sense of dread, like that homeless lady that used to pop up on the show all the time.

Well, it's a 130million contract with the Knicks, so he has time for hobbies.

I was just happy Katey Sagal didn't sing "Free Bird."

Maybe it was just Dayton Callie slipping back into Charlie Utter and Sutter just rolled with it. "Chink! I like that!"

I laughed as soon as it started and Jax was back on the goddamn roof, then I really about died when he admitted, "I'm out of my depth here, man," and then Chibs, with a sort of pained pause, was all, "Nahhh, c'moooon, it's not so bad." Yes it is. And Chibs knows it. But he's a soldier behind his commander, as it were.

Great finale, and a great final season considering the way everything had to time jump AND get smashed together. Yet another HBO show cut down before its time, but I expect BE to receive a major cult revival at some point when people start watching it on streaming services in large numbers. The show was so much better…

Boy, I wish I were a millionaire piece of white trash shit like them Duck Dynasty dudes.

The Bobby/Wendy scene might be the most appallingly daft scene this show has ever done. I thought Bobby was smart? Is there some way we can get an In Bruges ending to this show, with Jax in the Ralph Fiennes role and Gemma in the Colin Farrell role? Would Nero be Brendan Gleeson? I miss the simple days of Half-Sack…
