Gemma is such a bitch! (3:5 Turning and Turning)

Tara did do what she could to save Able, Gemma is such a bitch! Then she actually asks if the baby (Tara is pregnant with) is Jax’s. If I were Tara, I would’ve slapped the bitch. I don’t care if she was in hospital bed.

How judgy Gemma & Tara are… pore Lyla(2:7 Gilead)

I’m watching Sons of Anarchy -it’s like my 5th rewatch and I just got done watching the episode when the guys are in jail and Opie is the only one who’s out and he sends the new “porn star” girlfriend to pick up his kids. Those two women treat her so crappy. I feel so bad for her. Isn’t Luanne like one of Gemma‘s best friends? Lyla was perfectly nice to them and all they did was judge her because she does porn for her job. Goodness talk about just looking for trouble. I’ve just never been one of those girls that gets mad like that. I’m okay if my guy goes to a strip club or something and I know that in that subculture the women are quite possessive, but come on, men are gonna look at naked women. The key is to keep them satisfied at home so all they do is look. And acting all crazy seems to me it would be unattractive. Of course I have heard how that does get some guys off so who the hell knows I just think those two were pretty shitty in that episode.

RIP to Floyd the Barber

This might not be a big impact for most folks here, but Floyd, the barber in the town of Charming was a small but recurring character in pretty much every season of the show. He was played by James Carraway, who is also a member of my extended family. and unfortunately he passed earlier this week. He had been struggling with his health for several years, but he was able to let go of this world in comfort, surrounded by his loving family. He was a relentlessly kind person, gentle and patient. His persona in the show is very close to his own personality - wise, and generous with his time.

It was always a trip to see him on screen.

Do you struggle with your need to be a good man?

" My guess is you struggle with it every day. What you are, crashing into who you are…You're a husband. And a father. And a man. [Gesturing to his cut] Before all of this. Own your place. "

Sons is filled with gems, even from its supporting characters.

Chucky

I’ll admit, when we first met Chucky, I was not a fan and kinda hoped he’d get killed offscreen and we’d never hear from him again. Much to my chagrin at the time we saw him reappear kn season 2. But he’s really grown on me and become one of my unexpected favorites.

What's the Worst Thing about Season 7?

I am only 4 episodes into the Seventh Season, so this is a post I will return to when I finish it, but I can't get over how bad the music selection is for this season. From the off-putting cover of Bohemian Rhapsody in the premiere to the "Baby Please Don't Go" song that starts when the Chinese threaten Diosa and the Sons hauling ass to get there (personally, I would put either a song or piece that heightens tension; but it seems they are really trying to strong-arm Tig and Chibs finding their people, which was never a concern for me.)

Then, the song carries us to credits as the boys casually walk about a mass murder of innocent friends... Surrounded by dead sex workers as "Baby Please Don't Go" (not even a ballad, a honky-tonk) plays over makes Bobby petting the "dumb as a rubber thumb" girl's hair in such forced direction...

I don't know. This season is kinda messy so far. To me, IMO, the odd-numbered seasons have been the worst. I'm hoping the back-6 of the season wrap it all up nicely.

What is everyone’s thoughts on Venus?

I’m really curious about everyone’s thoughts on Venus and her character! I personally really like her character and love the way she’s written and portrayed, she is her own person and not some stereotype of trans women and is a really good type of representation especially for the time of the show.

Seeing her back story and how she grew up was really well done and very respectful, as someone who is also transgender I personally can relate to her character, and her current habits in show (her being hypersexual due to the things she endured as a child, and having a lot of self doubt and vulnerability especially with tig and about their relationship.),I also would like to add her and tigs relationship is phenomenal! The communication and care between them is amazing and is very healthy compared to a lot of the relationships in the show.

Anyway thank you for reading my Ted talk if you did.

Thoughts on Unser?

I go back and forth with how I feel about him. The first few seasons I felt bad for him because it was obvious no one really actually cared about him. I say that because in season 3 when he did tell Clay and Gemma that he has to be a cop for a while, and when the clubhouse got raided, Gemma scolded him and said that's how you lose friends.

BUT!!! Tara would be alive had he not went blabbering to Gemma when he said that Jax made a deal. I don't really complain too much about the storytelling but the way they wrote Unser to act like he had no idea why Gemma killed Tara kind of bothered me. When Gemma came to him after killing Tara, Unser should have known exactly what just happened. And in season 7 (Red Rose) he asks Gemma why she killed Tara. Like.....dude, you caused this!!

Do y'all really think.....

that even if Gemma knew about the deal that Jax made to protect Tara she was still gonna just accept it? I doubt it. Knowing Gemma's character, she'd still be pissed and resentful towards Tara because it meant Jax would be going to prison for a long time. Her little prince would no longer be at the head of the table, she'd lose her power, and Tara planned on leaving town with the boys. Gemma would believe that Tara would never let her see the boys again and would probably attempt something to either slow her down or prevent her from leaving. Remember that animosity was still there from the fake miscarriage and arrest. Just my theory. I don't think it would have ended well, either way.

My favorite scene from SOA (season 7)

So I saw someone else talk about their favorite scene from “suits of woe” that’s was juice confessing to Jax about what really happened to Tara, my favorite scene from the show also takes place in this episode and though it’d be interesting to share.

My fave scene that in my opinion was one of the best scenes for the end of the show was Jax telling Nero about what happened to Tara, and Jax breaking down about it. You could see the turmoil he was in mentally and how heavy this hung over his head, the fact his own mother hurt his wife and love of his life, in Jax’s own words: "That's the part that hurts the most about all this. After everything she did, all the lies and death and wreckage, I still love her. She's my mom. How could she do this to Tara?". The quote that always makes me cry is him saying he still loves his mom, after everything that is still his mom.. as someone that has gone through personal turmoil about my father I felt those words to my core.

But that’s all I wanted to say. Sorry if this sounds rambly or something, or didn’t make much sense, I do suck at grammar and just wanted to share just how much I think Charlie did a great job with this scene.

Why does it take everyone so long to see through Clay’s BS. I get the brotherhood thing but he’s scum.

Gemma

Has a fictional character ever caused as much damage as Gemma teller? Even outright villains have never caused so much trouble to the shows protagonists.

She killed her daughter in law and effectively killed John, clay, Bobby, Unser and Jax.

Gemma

So I just got done rewatching Sons of Anarchy, from the beginning Kurt wrote Gemma to be the queen/mother of the MC, more than just an Old Lady. The writing is good the way it is. But what's everyone's opinions on how the series/ending would have went if she was written differently?

Character Attachment

Diving back into "Sons of Anarchy" for a second time didn't dilute the intensity of the experience; it was like reopening a book whose ending you know by heart, yet the journey still shakes you to the core. Every spoiler known didn't soften the impact; it was a visceral ride from start to finish. As the last episode drew to a close, I found myself enveloped in a sea of tears, a testament to the show's unparalleled power to evoke such deep emotions.

There's something inexplicably magical about how the show weaves its narratives, crafting characters that grow on you in ways you didn't anticipate. It's astonishing, really, how it cultivates a profound connection between you and each character, spanning from the likes of DA Patterson to Jax. It's a rare feat, making every moment, every twist, feel intensely personal.

When it was all over, a void yawned open within me, echoing the sense of loss one feels when something profoundly beautiful concludes. It felt akin to a breakup, albeit less severe yet poignant in its own right—a part of my daily ritual, a source of anticipation and joy, had vanished. My mind would wander, revisiting each character's arc, lingering on what could lie ahead for Nero, Wendy, and the others, deepening the sense of loss.

The show's portrayal of brotherhood, loyalty, and the raw realities of their lives struck a chord, mirroring the complexities of real-world relationships. It was as if the line between their world and mine blurred, making me feel like an honorary member of their tight-knit community. At times, the desire to comfort Chucky, to acknowledge his struggles and triumphs, felt overwhelmingly real.

This outpouring of thoughts is my way of grappling with the show's ending—beautiful yet heartrending, leaving a plethora of unanswered questions and what-ifs. The void left by the show's conclusion, the yearning to know more about the characters' fates, and the unresolved futures of the club, Abel, and Thomas—it's a lot to sit with.

If you've felt this profound emptiness, this blend of sadness and admiration, after the final credits rolled, know that you're not alone. I'm right there with you, hoping for answers we may never get, mourning the end of a journey that felt all too real.

Thank you for sharing this moment of reflection with me. May your week be filled with moments that move you, just as "Sons of Anarchy" has moved us.

PS: If anyone wants to talk about the shows and their favourite moments,characters, their versions of their why's, but's, the how's, etc. Please send me a message!!

Question reguarding Jax Man of Mayhem patch

Ever since his first appearance, Jax uses the "man of Mayhem" patch on his cut, but two moments makes me confused, Tig says to Clay that he doesn't trust Jax when it's comes to pull a trigger, and when Jax visits Abel/Tara at the hospital he says "I never killed someone like this", but iirc, the Man of Mayhem patch it's exclusively to members that already have killed someone for sake of the club. anyone have noticed this already?
