How bad is it when you start to miss Clay as president?

I don't know why T.O. would even want to join SAMCRO. It's like he hasn't been watching the past 7 seasons.

I was REALLY expecting him to murder someone with that hammer before the series was done.

Nope. My fanwank about JT's bike is that Clay got Lowell Sr. to sabotage it, and that's the real reason he killed Lowell Sr, in order to keep that secret.

Excellent explanation - thanks!

"Club and family first, all other lives and considerations are secondary at best. "
I think family was also secondary to the club. If family came first, Jax would have left Charming with her and the boys, or just let her leave with the boys.

Or Brooke, or that dead preacher's family, or Winsome.

I'd like to thank Kurt Sutter, and all his ridiculousness.

It really, really was.

How can you make that mistake? Batman is useful and effective. ;)

Can anyone explain to me exactly why Gemma was so monomaniacally set on SAMCRO? She wouldn't *let* Jax leave Charming when Tara was still alive, when that would clearly be in the best interests of all concerned. And now she's passing that Sons ring to Abel, in spite of all the horrific events starting with Tara's…

YES. And after the debacle of the wreck with JT and Brooke's mom, when he's seen first hand how stuff like this affects the surviving family members, that he would decide NOT to pay that one forward.

AND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WITH JT'S BIKE, SUTTER!

PERFECT.

The homeless woman is Kara Thrace, post-Earth.

Called it.

Goddamnit, I can hear Sutter madly dashing to his writers' room for an emergency rewrite.

And if he'd done things for Tara to begin with, like leaving Charming back in S4[5?] instead of letting his macho pride get in the way, she'd probably still be alive.

But didn't he tellq the other presidents that he would make sure his guys voted yes on a Mayhem vote?

Who all votes in a mayhem vote? All the charters? The offender's particular charter? The presidents?
