So now Jax may be starting an SOA Civil war with his latest stunt. Nero and Wendy need to hook up and get Jax's kids the phuck out of Charming. Juice also needs to just dip. He has zero reason to stay. Poor Lin. Probably the least hostile rival gang of the series and now Jax is phucking with him for no reason. Can't wait for next week and more of The Tale of Jax and His Wrongful Retribution, cuz Jax is on straight up Bauer mode right now.
It's like pretty much every character on this show is a horrible horrible person. I'm really struggling to think of anyone who you could call good. Even Nero, as of the recent episode, helped out the Mayans and was murdering mofo's with assault rifles or something. I thought maybe Unser, but no he has done some terrible stuff too.
So maybe Wendy, the drug addict, is the best person on this show now that Tara is dead? When I say best I mean...not that I like her character best, but she is just overall the least horrible of all these people.
I do enjoy the show, but it's kind of hard to get around the fact that all the main characters more or less deserve to be executed several times over. It's like the show has become a contest of who can be the worst possible human being.
What bugs me though is that all the Son's seem to be willing to just stand there and let Jax more or less destroy the club just so he can get his petty revenge. In doing so, they are going to let him destroy Charming as well. I thought most of these guys kind of wanted to protect their city, not burn it to the ground.
Here is the sad truth: If Jax wants to find out who killed Tara all he has to do is look in the mirror. Yes, Gemma might of physically killed Tara, but Jax is the one who brought her into this world. I know she was an adult and all that, but she'd still be alive if Jax had just walked away from the club a long time ago. In the beginning of the series I used to feel sorry for Jax, but now? He just brings this all on himself. He really isn't that much better then Clay.
While still a goat show(most of fx) to me, the group isn't just as dynamic anymore. Rewatched the past seasons and i guess i'm missing the depth and gravitas that Opie brought to the table. We all know this season will be dark and violent, but back then, Kurt Sutter was one of the best storytellers. The way Opie killed the ATF b!tch and Chibs getting revenge on Jimmy O'Phelan was just gold.
You know I thought the female cop might be one rare good character, but then she is screwing murderers and giving them a heads up as to when the cops are on their way. Just call her the female Unser in training now.

Iirc, he tried to leave Tara and she didn't want him to.You shouldn't feel sorry for anyone in this show, except his sons.
Maybe at one point she didn't, but her entire goal in season 6 was getting herself and the kids away from Jax. It doesn't get more clear cut then that. It is more or less just circumstances(like Jax finding out before she could truly arrange everything) that made it so she was not able to go through with her plans, plus Jax eventually making deals with cops/feds. She clearly wanted out.
At the same time..it is heavily implied Tara only came back to Charming in the first place because she was being stalked by that one guy and she knew Jax would "take care" of him. So who knows, maybe she got on the train willingly and then tried to jump off when it was clearly out of control, but never could quite get away in time.
I do feel sorry for the kids, the youngest one is luckily too young for all this, but Abel has clearly been messed up for life already. These kids also spend an unhealthy amount of time around hookers and porn stars. I sort of couldn't help laugh at Nero at the end when he is smiling at his kid playing cards. It is like aw...what a sweet moment..except wait he is playing cards with hookers. Nothing against hookers overall, but I wouldn't want to be leaving my kids with them.
