Stream Sons of Anarchy season 1, episode 1 instantly. There will be SPOILERS. But season 6 has been different, largely because, over the course of several gratuitously overlong episodes, the trend in the series seems to have shifted toward a desire to hit as many big moments as possible, without really developing a deep sense of why they were inevitable. The result of that has been a season padded with great deal of filler, without enough of it connecting to the climactic character moments for them to carry much weight or purpose beyond the initial rush of shocking violence being perpetrated on a familiar character. Unlike the sudden death of Clay in . And while the event was handled in a way that was indeed shocking, and brought Tara’s lengthy, quarrelsome, and frequently- aggressive relationship with Gemma to a bloody and gruesome end, it was accompanied by the overwhelming feeling that any sense of tragedy stemming from the event was entirely superficial. That’s not to say Tara’s murder wasn’t tragic; it was, but it was tragic for all the wrong reasons. Rather than have her death really mean something powerful beyond adding to the misery and suffering Jax and the other characters of Sons of Anarchy must seemingly endure, it just wound up being a bit of dramatic irony that highlighted Gemma’s too frequent bouts of violence and jumping to conclusions that simply weren’t true. Carrying out the death sentence of a major character on the foundation of something as flimsy as that makes the whole thing reek of insincerity, which was only compounded by the feeling that most of the characters had to suddenly drop a few precious IQ points to allow the complicated series of events to play out as they did. It’s difficult to understand why, after treating Juice like Fredo and proclaiming, “You betrayed me,” Jax would then let him go out in search of Gemma, who, according to a rather placid Unser, was behaving erratically and had stolen his truck – which was discovered parked outside Jax and Tara’s house. But things get even murkier when Roosevelt conveniently leaves Tara in her home, and only reenters after she’d already been murdered, because it didn’t occur to her to, you know, scream for help from the local sheriff standing just outside her front door. On the plus side, there was a brief moment when it appeared that, having been given the correct information, Gemma was going to accept responsibility for what she’d done, but all of that was wiped away when Juice decided to kill one of the few remaining likable characters the show had left. For the most part, much of . There was some tension in this storyline, but for a series that lives and breathes on twists and explicit acts of violence, there was no way things would go down in such a manner. Tara’s death certainly checked the Explicit Acts of Violence box, but the abrupt twist of having Jax suddenly surrender himself – after a season of killing and bartering his way out of trouble with things like the school shooting that started this whole chain of events – lacked the kind of context that would have made his decision feel reasonable or even heroic. Instead, after spending much of his time this season cheating on Tara, having member of SAMCRO follow her around town, or otherwise ignoring her plight, it felt as though Jax suddenly flipped a switch and decided it would be better for everyone that he play the martyr. The trouble is, aside from a few lectures about responsibility from Tyne and Nero, there was nothing in his arc this season that would suggest the transition from killer to willing sacrifice was even remotely in the cards. The answer, apparently, is: it isn’t. All season long, the show pulled surface- deep discussions out of the school shooting, and that’s better than no discussion at all, the incident wound up being a simple plot point designed to get the Sons into a suddenly exigent move away from guns. From a purely plot- driven perspective, the club’s desire to pull away from guns made sense, but season 6 never showed much interest in the way of earnestly engaging in a discussion about gun violence outside the rather limited perspective of Jax and the rest of SAMCRO. Ultimately, the same can be said for a number of plot points and storylines this season. Lee Toric proved to be not only an irritating character, but also one that was quickly abandoned and used primarily to open the door to Otto’s exit. Meanwhile, how many are still scratching their heads over what exactly Kim Dickens and Peter Weller’s characters were intended to bring to the table? Aside from helping move a few pieces around the board, they ostensibly did nothing. And then there’s was the dramatically inert execution of Clay Morrow that only briefly showed a glimmer of meaning something beyond simply saying goodbye to Ron Perlman. In the end, season 6 wound up being a frustratingly indistinct season that seemed to invite a discussion into the morality of the show’s themes and its characters, only to demonstrate a greater preference for heaping sorrow on its protagonist in a search for something profound. Perhaps in its seventh, and potentially final season, all of this death and pain will amount to something carrying great weight, but right now it just feels like despair for the sake of despair.

Instead he mourned in a bloody fashion, taking his aggression out on a fellow inmate by carving a swastika into the prisoner’s chest and pulling out his teeth. Needless to say Jax was fuming with rage, which is why he jumped at the chance to seek vengeance when his mother placed the blame for Tara’s demise in the hands of the Chinese. Gemma claimed she saw a Chinese man leaving Jax’s house the night of Tara’s murder. And that’s all her son needed to hear before he sharpened his carving fork. After Juice betrayed the club, he was sent on his last task to find Gemma – which he did. Juice caught Gemma red- handed in the middle of the murder scene. However, instead of turning the mother of Jax in for killing Tara, he helped her flee, killing an officer in the process. Because of that, Gemma promised to help Juice stay hidden from SAMCRO. Episode 2, “Toil and Till”In episode 1, viewers left Juice holding Unser (Dayton Callie) by gunpoint in Wendy’s (Drea de Matteo) apartment. The former police chief had figured out that the club member was hiding in her home and called him out. But instead of a shootout or an arrest, the two decided to work together. Unser essentially tucked Juice under his wing, helping the club member stay out of sight from SAMCRO. Jax spent episode 2 plotting his revenge against the Chinese for his wife’s murder. His plan: destroy Lin by ruining his finances. This would be followed by a personal, more gruesome form of vendetta. But Jax realized he needed to seek vengeance carefully or else he could upset August Marks (Billy Brown) – one of the most ruthless gun dealers. The Sons decided to hijack Lin’s shipment. But when Nero (Jimmy Smits) and Lin confronted SAMCRO about their involvement, they claimed that their hands were clean, placing the blame on “local muscle.” In order to make their story sound realistic, the Sons paid the two Indian Hills men a visit where they shot them dead and set up their apartment with heroin and Lin’s gun. It was revealed at the end of the episode that one of the men Jax ordered to be killed was Jury’s son. In episode 2, Charming’s newest Sheriff, Jarry (Annabeth Gish), decided to bring Unser on as a consulting investigator in the case of Tara’s death. Episode 3, “Playing with Monsters”Unser used his friendship with Juice to help him gain intel for his new gig. He promised that if he was able to get Juice face time with a SAMCRO member, Juice would have to give him information on the death of Tara. Juice agreed and so the bald- headed member was given a chance to talk to Chibs (Tommy Flanagan), who was tricked into the meeting. But Chibs had no kind words to spare to his treacherous former brother. Instead he gave Juice some grim advice. Jax met up with the One- Niners leader Tyler (Mo Mc. Rae) to discuss loyalty. In exchange for Tyler’s aid, Jax promised to kill a few of the rebellious One- Niners. Episode 4, “Poor Little Lambs” The Charming club spent episode 4 tracking down the wife of the recently deceased Pastor Jonathon Haddem. But in order to find his wife, who could help move along a project for Marks, they needed to dig up the body that they previously put in the ground to get his phone. After they retrieved the cell, the club discovered Haddem had a relationship with Venus (Walter Goggins) prior to his demise. So, the club paid her a visit to get any scoop she could offer. She revealed that Haddem had a lake house, which the Sons decided to visit. When they arrived to Haddem’s home, the Sons were met with bullets flying (Tig . Haddem’s wife and stepson, both terrified for their lives, revealed that Marks project is criminal but if they refuse to sign the papers, they’ll be killed. But the drama didn't end there. After cleaning up the Haddem problem, the Sons face a bigger, bloodier issue when they were followed by two officers during a drug deal with Ron Tully’s (Marilyn Manson) men. One officer is fatally injured while the other barely survives. The episode ends with Jarry questioning SAMCRO if they had anything to do with the death of her colleague. The Sons deny, deny, deny, but boy is karma a rascal. Jarry’s accusations were put on hold when one of Lin’s men threw a grenade into the room they were chatting in. Bobby (Mark Boone Junior) came to the conclusion that someone must have sold them out to Yellow. But who? Episode 5, “Some Strange Eruption”After Lin’s grenade toss and attack on Diosa, the Sons decided to cook up an even more horrific retaliation against the Chinese – and surprisingly enough, Nero’s was on board. Jax revealed to Nero that Lin was behind Tara’s death. And just like that Nero turned his cheek to the peaceful life he was previously trying to live. With Jax’s words still ringing in his head, Nero told Lin to meet up with the SAMCRO president in order to score back their heroin and finish the Sons off. But it was all just a set up so Jax could beat up Lin for killing Tara. As Lin faced a brutal beating, he cried out that he had nothing to do with the death of Jax’s wife. But Jax’s plan to kill Lin was cut short when he caught wind that a SWAT team was nearby. Instead, the Chinese are booked for multiple gun and drugs charges. Meanwhile, Juice was still hiding from the club. But instead of taking cover in Wendy’s home, he sought out refugee in a motel. Alone and scared, Juice’s paranoia got the best of him – resulting in the death of a Chinese motel employee who Juice mistakes for one of Lin’s men. Gemma eventually showed up to whisk Juice away to her father’s home. But instead of heading to Oregon, Gemma opted for a different route as Juice snoozed away in the passenger seat. Thankfully, Juice woke in the nick of time. And because the club member was already on edge, he was able to grab Gemma’s gun before she reached for it first. He pointed the weapon at Jax’s mother but she begged for forgiveness. She said she couldn’t trust him to keep her secret, which is why she was planning on killing him. Episode 6, “Smoke . Jax even found a way for the Sons of profit from this deal, allowing them access to Lin during his current legal predicament. And the episode only got sweeter for Jax. During a meeting with the Mayans, the SAMCRO president was given a present – or should we say prisoner? After Juice held Gemma at gunpoint he decided to leave her there – in the middle of nowhere. He took her car and drove to the Mayan’s begging for safe passage into Mexico if he gave them intel on the Sons. But the Mayans weren’t interested. Instead they handed the traitor over to Jax who stripped Juice of his cut and put him in a storage closet. Gemma managed to walk 1. Gertie (Lea Michele) until Unser picked her up. Unser didn’t believe Gemma’s tale tale of how she wound up near Salt Springs after Juice kicked her out of the car – and rightfully so. Gemma is full of it. And Unser wasn’t the only one who didn’t buy Gemma’s story. Nero, too, had started to piece together that his old lady has something dark she was hiding from him after she busted into tears when she learned that Jax had Juice in the palm of his hand. Episode 7, “Greensleeves”In order for SAMCRO to destroy Marks in episode 7, they needed the pastor’s wife and stepson to comply with their plan of selling out Charming’s big, bad gun lord. But to get them on board with their risky plot, they had to promise to take out a pimp named Greensleeves who was blackmailing their family with footage of the pastor behaving inappropriately with young men at their lake house. So, Jax and Chibs paid the pimp a visit, which end in bloodshed and a broken window. Marks, being the clever man he is, figured out what SAMCRO was doing in regards to the destruction of his government housing project and decided to attack the club where it would hurt them the most – by attacking a member of their family. Marks men run Bobby off the road and torture him to make a point to Jax. They send the Sons a box filled with Bobby’s “Redwood Original” patch, along with a video of Marks’ men gutting out one of Bobby’s eyes. Gemma’s lies were finally catching up to her in episode 7 – and she could feel her world falling apart around her. In a moment of weakness, Gemma confessed her murderous ways to little Thomas. However, the baby wasn’t the only one who witnessed the confession. Gemma had forgotten to shut the door to Thomas’ room, allowing Abel to listen in on her darkest secret. Episode 8, “The Separation of Crows”With Bobby in the hands of Marks, Jax was about to call off his entire plan for vengeance. Finally he was starting to understand the consequences to his actions – that is, until Chibs talked him out of it. And we need our goddamn leader,” he said. SAMCRO tried to track down Bobby, but their manhunt seemed useless. Marks promised the club for every 2. Sons refused to give the whereabouts of the pastor’s body and family, he would remove a vital body part of their brother. But finding Bobby wasn’t the only errand on the son’s list. They were also determined to find out who sold them out to Lin – and all the roads seemed to lead back to Jury.“I wanted you dead, Jackson. But I’m no rat. I didn’t tell Lin s- -- ,” Jury said after Jax and his crew located the Indian Hill’s president. But Jax wasn’t buying it.“You had the chance to be something good for this club. Something your old man always wanted. But you turned into everything he hated.
