I didn't get that either. I would guess that Jax doesn't know yet what Gemma did. Could be Jax/Gemma working together though. She had just told Jax she was taking the kids to Oregon. I though it was a good episode. Although, somebody really needs to inform Sutter that his wife can't sing. That part was painful.'Carver said:

I'm pretty sure there were only 2 people that could drop the sort of dime that ends with Tara in cuffs, Otto and Gemma. Jax too, I guess. Marshall just suspected, but couldn't prove anything.

I think he worked something up with Gemma and Eli. He said "We're good?" to Eli, Eli nodded then Eli took Tara away. And Jax didn't react at all. If somebody took my wife away on murder charges, I would be effen pissed. Jax knew it was coming
Jax knew they were going to talk to Otto. But did he know what Otto did at the interview? If not, maybe he just thought Otto had fingered Tara.The "we're good" was about Clay, imo.

The last two finales have been more about setting up the next season and have gotten sloppy with wrapping up the one they are in. Last year, Potter and the CIA thing was resolved in a single scene while the same happened this year with Pope. This was a little better because framing Clay and having the hit out on him is a nice cliffhanger for next year, but that assumes we care what happens to him in the first place. I think Sutter sent Tara to jail as a convenient way to keep her from going to Oregon (a plot point that I didn't pay a lot of attention to anyway) and as a way to say, "the people who don't care if clay goes to jail will certainly care if Tara does...I'll double-up on things with the jail angle." The Tara part felt lazy. They should have just let her go to Portland as her role on the show is sort of boring now.
So they have an enemy for next season (the Marshall) and some lingering stuff (clay, tara) from this year. They can easily write Nero further in or out completely. I imagine the Mayor will be a little ticked about losing his investors...what does that do to the whorehouse? Bobby doesn't want to be VP - sort of silly considering he was cooking the books at Luann's and got them involved in the Rico stuff. Suddenly he's the moral compass of the club?
Overall I thought this was a good season. Mostly because it seemed Sutter realized this was an action show and was never going to be on the dramatic level of things like Breaking Bad and Homeland and Mad Men. So it had more identity this year in my opinion.

'Good said:It wasn't a good episode.Dogs are cool. So are weird guys who just decide to speak in French. The trick to take out Pope, while implausible (couldn't he get some of the Mexicans to hide out in the warehouse and get the drop on Pope, instead of hoping he could take out four dudes on his own?), was a neat way to clear the decks for next season, although I'm sure Clay will survive by the skin of his teeth (probably via the Irish) in prison. He has as much chance of dying in s6 as Tig had of dying tonight. Nada. But hey, we get a nutty law enforcement officer as next year's mini-boss, because we haven't done that before.The rest of this episode stunk. Especially the music. Take your pick, the mariachi music while they chased the Mexican dudes, Katey Segal butchering "To Sir With Love", or Jane's Addiction raping "Sympathy for the Devil"? I'm going with Door 3. If only it was Perry Ferrell's dad instead of Meredith Hunter at Altamont, am I right?Does it make any sense for Gemma to say how she's "dead" without her grandchildren, even though she tried to drive stoned with them in the car, and punches Tara in the uterus? What if there HAD been another grandchild in there?Drea De Matteo was pretty good on the Sopranos, but I've seen better acting in Jules Jordan movies than her performance in Tara's office. Meanwhile, Maggie Siff's talents are completely wasted on this ####. The tongue thing was just for dumb shock value. It's not even possible to do that. But the worst part of the show (except for the Jane's Addiction song) was stupid Bobby "Elvis." Remember when Bobby Elvis used to play Elvis songs, and not just be a stupid fat guy with a dumb beard who was always whinging? At least Margaret from Boardwalk Empire is pleasant to look at, this ####### has become the worst character on TV. I hate his face. Especially his beard. His beard is worse than Hitler."I've got a great idea for an underground dogfighting ring. First, we'll hold matches in a warehouse where random people are just parked outside instead of in a secluded area like any proper dogfighting ring. Second, we'll hold fights around 11 AM. And finally, any dogs that die, we'll just put them out with the rest of the trash, because no garbageman is going to notice that and figure out that we're running an illegal dog fighting ring. !Vamanos!"Honestly, fuck this show. You guys don't even get a song. See you next year.
The most ridiculous thing about the Gemma vs Tara crap is that it's not like Tara wants to take the kids to Mozambique. She wants to move to FREAKING OREGON. Not sure where this hospital is in Oregon but even assuming that it is all the way up in Portland it's less than 10 hours away. You can fly from Sacramento to Oregon for about $275. It's not like Gemma is hurting for money. The whole plot point is stupid.

It's all about control for Gemma. She wants to have her hand raising the boys every day. Heck, Tara could move to Sacramento (probably 90 minutes or less from Charming) and Gemma would freak out'Good said:It wasn't a good episode.Dogs are cool.

gets a hard on because he thinks a 12 year old girl is posting.My only issue with the show is Gemma's plot lines. They've been awful for years now and I find it unlikely that she would continue to get pushed so much if she weren't married to the show runner. Does anyone find her to be a compelling character? (I mean the public at large, obviously no one in this thread).

Wife is watching the finale for the first time tonight. First observation:
"There are guys that have been shot and then stitched up on the clubhouse pool table and they heal right away and are no worse for wear. Tara gets her hand slammed in a car door and her injuries last for more than a season."

I don't think he did. Pope's right hand indicated the Mayor got a copy of whatever contract Jax got, which I understood to be the Charming Heights deal.

Even if Tera walks, this kills the Oregon deal. Jax knows this. That could explain his indifference at her arrest.

Honduras was poised to take Dallas in the 80s, Josef. you think the cholos just canned that idea on their own???I finally watched it tonight. Aside from a few of their typical blunders I actually thought it wasn't bad. And the CIA thing baffled me too. If the actual CIA employed guys like that we'd have been invaded and taken over by Trinidad-Tobago 50 years ago.

Amen brother.And Kurt, I know you have to go home to her every night, but quit putting her in plotlines where guys are horny for her. On a show where you have priests stealing babies, the most unrealistic thing is you pushing her as the on-camera viagra.

I never understood show creators who pushed their wifes out there, in sexual scenes. I guess they got off watching other guys doing nasty things to their wifes. Bill Lawrence did the same thing on Scrubs with Christa Miller

If you feel like reliving that nightmare, you can hear all of the songs used on the FX SOA page somewhere. I think it's been a tradition for Segal to do a song in each finale.'mr. furley said:
