Man. Getting harder and harder to "enjoy" this show. Such brutality and so many anti-heroes. Yikes.

What she did last night goes beyond despicable.
Yeah, I can get Gemma covering up her involvement in Tara's death but by putting the blame on Lin and the Chinese, she's putting her son and friends/family in serious danger. Not to mention all the innocent (of Tara's murder anyway) people that will be killed by SAMCRO and the random people that could end up as collateral damage.

I totally agree. These people are despicable. Although I've watched from the beginning, after the season premiere, I'm not sure I want to see any more. I'm certainly rooting for both Jax and Gemma to be killed off in the end. I won't shed a tear for either.

Just wishing this show would END..

There's only so much backslap-hugs and stilted tableside diatribes I can take..

Just going through the motions for some closure..

But this is another series that has overstayed its welcome, like Justified and Dexter..

What he said. Oh, right that was me. Holy crap - this week's episode is really pushing the boundaries for what I am used to seeing on a TV show. Between this show and American Horror Story I feel the need to bathe more often...

Yeah, I don't know what this says about me but I was more disturbed by the shot of the guy's bloody fingers laying on the ground than his eyeball hanging out.

Not a critique as much as an observation but other than the Gemma killed Tara story, I don't get the feeling that this story is THE end for the show. I know it is and I'm sure the show will have a definitive ending but this is sort of a standard SAMCRO problem and I would have expected the final season to be an all or nothing clash with the police or a rival gang.

Oh, I hated the eyeball thing!! I cannot stand that kind of thing, like in the director's cut of "Any Given Sunday".

I feel it will still be a poignant and tragic end for SAMCRO as we know it since I feel certain Jax will die. But with the expectation that Abel could one day be the new Jax.

I can see any of the characters living and I can see any of them dying. The characters I don't want to see die are Chibbs and Unser. I think Chibbs will buy it but since Unser was introduced as having cancer and not long for the world, I think they'll have him be one of the ones who actually make it.

^ Thanks for the heads up. I knew that that book was coming out soon but considering they wrote/shot the finale like a month and a half ago, I didn't think the book could even contain info about the last show. Hopefully, people are cool and don't ruin it for others.

I've said it before and I will say it again: Penn and Teller Get Killed is going to be the inspiration for the final episode.
Well not quite, but
Chibs, Tig and the gang mostly lived, as did Jary, Nero and Wendy, but taking out Gemma, Unser, Marks, Barosky and almost all of the Irish connections in the last two episodes was pretty damn bloody. I think the way Jax went out was a bit unrealistic but it put a neat bow on the concept of finding ways of avoiding the sins of the fathers on your children and let Jax finish what his father started.

I wish that they had been able to spend a little more time on the supporting characters but that final sequence was great- Chibbs at the head of the table, the crows flying, Jax going out like an outlaw on a bike with a ton of cops chasing him, the song itself.

Thanks to Sutter and company for seven years of great pulp entertainment.

What a ride. As I've hinted before I'm glad it's over. The ending was about as good as one could hope for. Kind of a Butch and Sundance moment.

Yeah, falls will be different, now that this show has ended. But it has been a great ride, and it was something to really to look forward to.

There's a gun in Destiny called TFWPKY and we've discovered that's a B&S reference: The Fall Will Probably Kill You =)
