Do not click if you don't want to know who dies in the last episode.

The last entry under 'notable deaths' is also interesting.
 
I just remembered something I forgot to mention earlier: really enjoyed the Michael Chicklis cameo last episode.

The Shield was another pretty entertaining effort by FX.

Casting for SoA has been incredible, though.
 
I think the ending was kind of a let down myself. I didn't read any of the spoilers, so I didn't know what to expect, but I expected more

The end, while heavy, was a little artsy, but I can live with it. Sutter had to try and re-establish the order of the universe and there was a LOT of crap to deal with.
 
I watched this season more closely than the previous two or three (the season in Ireland was such a diversion I had to be brought back) and I thought it was a fitting end to the series. There were some short-cuts during the last season that caused the action to jump inexplicably.

Sutter tried a lot of things with the series, some of it worked and some of it didn't, but when it worked, it usually worked very well. As the show wore on, it really did become "Hamlet Joins a Biker Club" and although I thought the show posed a bit at times, Sutter did cover a lot of ground and the metaphors tended to work very well.

The show had high ratings for a cable show and I think it is going to have a solid following for years to come. As others have said, Fox seems to have a stable of stars that orbit through a lot of their shows (Michael Chiklis--The Shield, Walton Goggins--Justified, Annabeth Gish--The Bridge, etc.) and they all seemed to add some depth here.
 
My DVR is going to have a lot of space after next Friday.

4 of my favorite shows are finishing.

Sons of Anarchy
The Newsroom (Sunday)
Colbert Report (next Thurs)
Late Late w/ Craig Ferguson (next Friday)
 
If everything else went completely wrong, just him switching shoes would've been enough to make the finale a hit for me. Luckily, nothing really went wrong. Great finale.
 
It was hard not looking at his shoes when they were in the warehouse transferring power to Chibbs and Tig. I'm like oh damn those are brown. He doesn't look silly now.

I think we saw a great version of the original ending before the show got so popular and they stretched it out a few extra seasons and lost some people along the way.

Nero = Opie

Wendy = Tara

Unser = Clay

I think originally (and it actually fits the feel of the ending more), he would've confronted Clay and Gemma in the house running from him after he found out they killed his dad and all the other crap. His best friend Opie (and he even calls Nero his best friend in this episode) would've grabbed Tara and run. They might even had originally killed Tara, too, just to add to his hatred for Clay and Gemma, so Wendy could still be in this role. Either way, it evolved well enough to prove a great finale.

Can't recall those seasons well enough, but I don't see how the show could have had a happy ending. I think from the beginning Jax was star-crossed. The plot isn't that far off from Hamlet. Conniving mother and step-father make life miserable for the melancholy biker. Jax's (Hamlet's) love dies. Bodies fall along the way. Everybody dies in the end. All we needed was for Young Fortinbras to take the stage.

I think we saw the original ending just with a few characters replaced with new characters and the storyline adjusted a bit to fit those new characters. That's what I meant.

Got it.

Forgot to mention all the religious imagery near the end of the episode. Bread and wine with the homeless woman. Jax doing the crucifix as he hit the truck. Whatever fluid mingled with the bread in the last shot (signifying bread and wine again methinks). There were a couple other instances that don't come to mind right now but that I thought were playing that angle.

Blood on the bagels? lol
 
Homeless girl I've read is supposed to be sort of like Angel of Death/Mr. Mayhem.

Someone always dies whenever she appears.
