***SPOILERS***
I thought season 6 was a great episode. One of the best in few years. The only low point was the meaningless storyline with the Trannie!
However, the last episode still has given me the shivers (watched it last night). The end slaying of Tara (Ophelia) by Gemma (Gertude) was purposefully predictable, but utterly shocking also. Then Juice taking out Roosevelt? A powerful last season with great acting by everyone especially Gemma (forgetting her real name at the moment).
It looks like the show is going full circle to the SOA and Mayans war. Reminder one of the first scenes from season 1 was the Mayans blowing up the gun warehouse!
I can say this, the show has got me completely back on board. I was waving the last few seasons, but this season has made me looking forward to next season 100 fold!
Its going be whites (Sons of Anarchy) and Blacks (Niners) against the Mexicans and Asians, thats very interesting.
Mexicans => Mayans
Asians => ????
Does the Asian (Chinese) Gang have a name? If so how come we cannot recall it?,,,,unless we look it up.....
Lin Triad.
Frankly, with the guns (and Irish) on their side, I don't see how the 9 ers can possibly lose. I don't see SAMCRO being blamed because Mayan's shot the 9ers during the gun deal.
What will be most interesting will be to see Jax's new character. I predict he'll lose what remaining shreads of humanity he had, and go completely berzerk on Mayans, including Nero, who I predict he'll kill.
Another interesting storyline will be the investigation of Tara's and Roosevelt's murder. Clearly Jax will be found innocent (his gun was not used, and the fork used on Tara is not at the crime scene with Jax. I wonder if investigators will find Tara's Bullet? But the official investigation will parallel Jax's; Will he discover Gemma killed Tara? Will Juice take the fall? Interesting how Juice has made two suicide attempts and failed both times; perhaps a third will be the charm?
Finally, what female will replace the HUGE gap left in the story? I'm not thinking Wendy. Perhaps, but not likely. A fresh face could appear, but I lean towards the schizophrenic chick that runs the register at the ice cream parlor/biker den....Here name? We had some Foreshadowing of this possibility when Gemma commented that "There's something about her I like."
