Sutter is such a tool... this show had so much more potential. I'm not saying I wanted a PG-rated show, but... like this last episode. Why do we need to see a girl with a huge hail-damaged ass sitting on a dude's face? You want that going on in the background? Fine, whatever... but even if it's for a few seconds, this episode is way too important to throw a shot like that in.
But that sums up the show to me, I guess. It just tried way too hard to be edgy and shocking - you get so numb to brains on the wall that they just kept trying to up the "WTF?!" factor in those scenes. A scene like the Chinese mowing down all the hookers should have had a huge impact. Instead it was just like... meh.
Anyway - the finale was alright. Predictable for sure. Could have been much worse (Dexter, Weeds).
I was hoping Jax was somehow going to lead the police to some IRA gun warehouse or something. I mean, why lead the police on a chase if he just intended to slam into the first big rig in the oncoming lane? At it stands he really left the club in pretty bad shape... he basically took out all the local leaders (again), which just means the next guy in line (or a guy higher up the chain) in each group is going to be out for the Sons' blood.
And Sutter said a while back that there wasn't going to be a happy ending. He chickened out. I was expecting (hoping) to see the whole club destroyed ... possibly one or more of his sons murdered too. To me this *was* a happy ending. Gemma got what she deserved. Jax (supposedly) leaves his club in a better place. And Jax essentially escapes punishment for all his mis-guided actions by taking his own life.
Would have been cool if the cops stopped him from killing himself and he actually ended up rotting in prison. Or whatever. Something that actually invoked a reaction. Instead, I just sat there, watched the truck hit him, and was like "yep".
Ugh... and don't get me started on all the biblical imagery in that last scene. I'll say it again... Sutter is a tool.
