Sons of Anarchy

I lost so much track of who owed Jax and whatnot, half the deaths were just mindless. What did Peter Weller do? And I swear this was the first time I saw the homeless woman.

Also, callbacks to lots of movies: City of Angels, The Untouchables (doesn't someone get shot on courthouse steps there), every movie doing a Jesus moment. But I blame that on bingeing the first 3 seasons so it didn't all sink in. And I kinda felt a shift once Clay died. Overall, good show, random killing/submissiveness of women aside.

Peter Weller was the one who sold them out to Lin (according to Lin while he was about to be killed by Juice) Except they had assumed it was Jury who had ratted them out- which would have made sense they they killed Jury's son for no real reason. Well, so there wouldn't be any witnesses to whichever crime they did (and now I can't even remember), but not for any good reason.

In the grand scheme of things, Peter Weller was the lesser of MANY evils. But, he was a guest star and they needed a Godfather style 'all debts will be settled' type montage so RoboCop had to go. I'm surprised Jax didn't find a way to gank Marilyn Manson in prison while he was at it- but somehow, I guess that pasty thing managed to stay on the Sons good side.

Ah, thanks.

Vanity Fair summed up the finale imagery that I initially missed by giggling over the Meg Ryan imagery.

I mean, I got the bit about the bread, wine and Jesus Christ pose (later- as I was brushing my teeth and pondering why Kurt Sutter had Jax go out like Meg Ryan) But I didn't pick up on Garden of Gethsemane style chat with Dad or the blessing of prostitutes (ehh, RS was probably stretching there) or of course Michael Chiklis's exclamation. But I see it all now.

I do feel bad for laughing and pointing and squeeing out 'MEG RYAN!' because I don't think that was the reaction Kurt Sutter was going for. But that was the initial reaction he got out of me. Ooops.

(Edited because it was Vanity Fair not Rolling Stone. I lost track of which eMag I was reading)

But see! I'm still pondering the remaining characters' futures! That's how much I'm gonna miss this darling little ultra!violent show! *sniff!*

GirlyGhoul, how about you write some codas for all the characters to entertain us?

In keeping with the ol' ultraviolence, I'd like to offer one up for "approval":
Our least favorite anemic Aryan, Tully, is repeatedly violated by a large African-American man each night. He nearly chokes on a piece of pie in the canteen right before a cabal of incarcerated Grim Bastards shivs him in the exercise yard.

I think Sutter would be OK with that
