Motherfuckergoddammitwhatinthenfuckihateitall Fucking cuntbitch Gemma, Jax is turning villain, and I almost feel a little bad for Clay. Feels like it’s all coming apart and the final two seasons are gonna be brutal. Side note: Tig and the dog was one of the most heartwarming things I’ve seen in this show. And dammit, I like Nero. He seems like a legit good guy at his core. Yeah, season 5 is where the show decides this shit is going to get worse, not better. It's nice hearing your thoughts as you go through the show as it emulates much of what I was feeling as I was going along. And yeah, Gemma, the fucking worst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Oh yeah. Random thought. I love it when Happy casts his yea vote on anything. Just the way he says it, lol. Oh, and I’m having little sympathy for Otto. Dude went through the shit, but murdering that nurse like that…I guess he’s getting what’s coming to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as the seasons go on it's harder and harder to sympathize with some of the SAMCRO members because they've just been asked to do so much heinous shit "for the club" that at this point their souls are so far gone they don't recognize the line between good and evil anymore I feel like. It becomes all about self-preservation. The ideals Jax's father spoke about so eloquently in season 1 are long gone. Charlie Hunnam acting up a storm if I remember correctly though with the new path he goes down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 Season 6 done. Well. That was one of the most devastating episodes of tv I’ve ever watched. I knew Tara’s fate was coming because it’s an older show and that was a spoiler I encountered a long time ago, but how that went down was just terrible. For Jax to finally step up and own his actions, their reconciliation, just for a miscommunication to end it all. Horrific. Fuck Gemma. I know her ultimate fate, too, but it doesn’t make that easier. Gonna have to watch her hide her guilt for another season. Overall thoughts, it was a solid season. Couldn’t help but feel a bit bad for a Clay at the end. But it was right. Roosevelt was basically a good man who wanted to be a good cop and I hated to see him go like that. Hope Juice gets his karma. What a weak guy. Some of the plotting was over the top and convoluted, especially Tara’s miscarriage plan. Guess the final season is going to be Jax‘s road to full on villain. Tara was the last person grounding him. oh, and Jimmy Smits remains a great addition. Charming and funny and basically a guy you wanna root for. I hope he gets out of this mess by the time it all ends. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Yeah, while the B stories were a bit all over the place in the last couple seasons, having Jimmy Smits a part of the cast really helped it evolve & elevate itself in terms of acting quality for sure. I was just wondering if you'd been watching, nice to see the update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it’s just so heavy I can’t binge it easily. Just watched the opener for season 7 and yep, this is gonna be dark. I hate Gemma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 Ohhhh, and I love the character of Venus Van Dam. That episode where they rescue her son was surprisingly touching. Loved it. And her and Tig together, just fucking great. I love seeing Tig’s soft side. I hope she makes another appearance in the last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wild is, in either season 2 or 3, when the other African sheriff that was on the take w/ the club got shot as he was trying to help out Opie, that "woman of the night" was named Venus as well I believe. Not sure if coincidence or not but hey, either way, the role & character really come into their own & being mirrored by Tig of all the guys, yeah you're going to really dig it.

Greatoneshere Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Yeah, Tara got done really dirty - brutal death in any show. Gemma is the absolute worst, and Jax still doesn't know her part in his father's "accident", right? Frustrating. Seasons 6+7 were the darkest of the show but I felt the plotlines became a bit too over the top and soap opera-y in those seasons but the broad strokes are done well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Ugggggh, season 7 is going balls to the wall. Just saw what happened when Jax tried to make a move against August Marks. Poor Bobby. Im ready for it to end because I’m tired of hearing Jax say “it’s settling down.” More decent people just keep getting dragged down. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Sounds like you have roughly 4 episodes left then, enjoy the ride cuz each is a freaking barn burner going forward. Also, don't mind the CGI in the finale, just ... don't pay any attention to it whatsoever (if you can! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Got 6 to go. Bobby was just kidnapped and his eye was delivered to the guys. Abel heard Gemma confessing to little Thomas. It’s about to get wild(er). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 I may have felt all emotional when Jax told Abel Wendy was his first mommy. Great scene. I root for Wendy so much. Of course that’s followed up by Abel dropping the dime on Gemma so here we go. Seems like most stuff is wrapped up at this point, so I’m guessing the primary focus will be on Jax discovering the truth about Tara’s murder. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 Two episodes to go. Jax found out. Some phenomenal acting by Charlie Hunnam there. I felt that emotion. Juice’s confession, the blank look in his face, but the tears falling. Great stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 Unser 😭 I even felt for Gemma in the end. Pretty poignant scene. Poor Juice, but his troubles are at an end. At least he got to finish his pie. Fitting that Marilyn Manson plays an evil Nazi in this show. Fuck it, work is dead tonight, I’m gonna wrap this up.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 Done. Phew, what a ride. Honestly, that was about as perfect an ending as you could get. There was really no other option for Jax and it was poetic how he finally understood his father. I’d like to think his sons avoided that life. Nero and Wendy were great and I’m glad they got their happy(ish) ending. Last couple of seasons did get convoluted, but I think it wrapped up nicely(albeit tragically). Like Jax promised Patterson, “the bad guys lose.” Wonder if SAMCRO continues down a more legit path under Chibs or if that’s addressed in Mayans at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That however, was the SECOND of such takes, as the first was essentially PERFECT from all who've spoken about it, just that the camera wasn't on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
