Be sure to pad your DVRs - episode will run 7 hours. Katey Segal covers "Imagine" over a rape montage to open and "What a Wonderful World" over a murder montage at the end.

lmao

FYI, it's a 3 hour series finale

of course it is

OK, is this going to include the aftershow? Or is it going to really be 3 hours?

Hard to tell with Sutter these days

It is finally fucking over! What will I hate watch now?

It's going to be minimum 2 hours. The After Show will probably run over 1 hour. It never finishes on time, so it may get cut off for those DVR-ing it. So for anyone who wants to stay up to watch the After Show, expect it to end probably close to 1:30am ET

77 minutes with no commercials, including the recap at the beginning if that helps.

Bread and wine

**symbolism**

11:42pm, not over yet. :/

Watched the leak.



I thought it was decent, better than the rest of the season

shitty thing to do to that truck driver. he could have just opened it up and drove off the side of the road into the valley.

Now that it's over, they should have kept Chiklis out of the show until the last scene.

Under 2 hours? WTF?


Pretty good finale. Glad they killed off Jax. Thought more people would die.

Agreed. Would have been much better.

I thought the same thing.

The Shakespeare quote at the end

Wait, was there some subtle symbolism in there?? May have to rewatch, may have missed it.

I did like Springsteen's Adam Raised a Cain at the beginning.

There's absolutely no way that Jax's plan to have an ex-junkie single mom and his former Hispanic gang leader BFF raise his two kids who have had their mother murdered by their grandmother and their father kill a bunch of people and then drive head on into a semi could go wrong.

So was the whole point of the club not putting him down just another excuse to add in another musical montage? Because the way they killed him off was pretty dumb and unneccessary. Would've been more impactful if the club did it.

Yeah, they really look like a bunch of wimps. If they really lived by their code, they would have beaten Jax to death with lead pipes. Would have been fitting considering the way Opie went out. Lowlife punk trash couldn't man up when the chips were down.

And Sutter's sledgehammer approach to symbolism with the bread & wine lingering shot & the final shot of Jax with outstretched "crucifixion" arms were pretty hilarious.

Would kind of liked for Jax to have gotten out of Charming unscathed to catch up with Wendy & Nero only to get stabbed in the head with a fork by Abel. Or maybe Lady Stoneheart could have come back to order the ghost of Juice to hang him.

I do think that Sutter (unwatchable on After Show...no wonder he stammers so much since his head is so far up his lower intestines) should have had Gemma go mad and (a) kill herself; (b) be left out in the desert by Jax to wander around gibbering; or (c) wander out into traffic and be splattered by Chiklis' truck.

So after season after season of trying to get out of guns, all they had to do was murder some IRA leaders (The Irish Kings) at some remote location that they just come to unprotected? Shit... took them long enough to come up with that 'elaborate' plan.

I don't know why, but I figured with no tomorrow, Sutter might actually play it straight in the finale and maybe show some restraint and not try to show the world once again how clever he thinks he is... making me the fucking idiot. Why the hell does he have to be so damn heavy handed while thinking he's being all subtle and symbolic. I know the main audience is probably not the most sophisticated in the world, but short of flashing signs and some popups explaining things, could he be any more heavy handed?

Also good that he worked in a completely necessary Venus cameo at the end, though Vic Mackey driving the truck was a nice touch. But yeah... that would have been so much better had that been his first and only scene.

The biggest thing I'm going to miss about this show is your weekly breakdown of how illogical everything is.

^ and me somehow still being surprised and shocked for the last three years as if I expected it to suddenly change and make sense?

Pretty good final episode. I looked at Jax's final killing spree and suicide at the end was his last gift to his sons so they won't have to live in his shadow anymore. Basically the Teller family is now starting from scratch. But Jesus, talk about Jax being a drama queen for his last hoorah. Big car chase and then riding into Vic Mackey's truck. at the ending with the bread and blood.

One thing I'm curious about, why did Jax murder Weller's character? I tbought he was a friend to the MC.

The one takeaway I have from this series is if you are a member of this club you'll probably be raped or killed or see a loved one raped or killed and prior to that you'll make what sure seems like no money.
