Sons of ##### continues to make me hate myself a little bit more every Tuesday.
I hate Jax's voice
I hate Gemma
I hate the 'brother' this and 'brother that
I hate Unser's greasy hair
I hate Nero's cardigans and that he calls Gemma 'mama'
I did like the cop making chibs bang her on the squad card in front of Quinn - that was amusing.

That Chibbs/Jarry sex scene was so absurd, so forced, so uncomfortable and so funny. Literally the highlight of the season. "Do me now if you have feelings for me". Lol so ridiculous, so awesome.
Also how do you not make Bobby's death scene the final scene in the show. Have Marks kill Bobby and Jax and it's over. Instead Marks of course lets Jax live and now Jax will probably ultimately take him down. The writting was never a strong suit of this show but it was never this bad.

My wife and I had a good laugh when she said "Take me now"
Who says that?

Jax's voice changed when he became president. Before that, he wasn't really annoying and seemed to be a decent actor for the part.

Jarry is so annoying. She slaps Gemma and Gemma barely responds and knocks her on her ass? How can this person be in a position of authority? I don't get it. I just hate her so much.
The car sex thing? What the hell? They just decided they needed to see some skin, so they drop panties? I don't get it.
Do I care about the young girl and Rat's relationship? Do I care if he loves her? Why are we wasting time on this crap?
And Bobby is done and it just didn't seem to be big enough. Bobby was an instrumental character and then bam! Done. Bury him in the backyard.
And the Abel overhearing Gemma thing. Do something Abel or eat your cookie and get the hell out of the way.
I did not like the episode at all.
I've been up and down with this season, but mostly because it just doesn't feel like it's the end. But this episode was not good at all.
Hilarious recap by a poster on IMDB of the last episode
Spoiler!
Our episode opens with at least one surprise: no montage, but Nero does refer to Gemma as "Mama" in the first thirty seconds, so those looking for familiarity, fear not.
Everyone is sitting around having breakfast. Jax is sipping coffee and eating a big bowl of Murder-O's while that little mongo kid, Abel, is in desperate need of some table manners, so Gemma forces him to say "thank you." Next, she'll teach him the proper usage of a fork.
They're all going up to the cabin where they're keeping the two plot devices and Jax wants to pull Abel from school and take him along - great plan, Jax - deprive an already dumb kid of an education and put him in harm's way by having him shack up with a crackhead who is the target of some deadly black-op gangsters. Wendy, meanwhile, "hates this," but Gemma reminds her she chose the life. A) Wendy, you're an idiot, and B) Gemma should change her name to Emily Post after teaching people manners.
Charlie's accent slips.
They get to the cabin and inform Plot Device #2 of their plan, but Plot Device #2 cracks one of the glorified extras over the head with a tire iron and tries to make a get away. It's chasin' time! They try to get him to pull over not by flanking him but by pulling up alongside the car and yelling "pull over." Happy gets knocked off his bike and Tig finally shoots out the window. They finally get him to pull over and Jax yells. Happy throws a punch. Crisis averted.
Back at Casa De Crone, our Queen Buzzard and that extra with dialogue get to the nitty gritty of biker/old lady relationships, not before Gemma gets to assume that everyone stares at her saggy funbags. I may have dry heaved a little. Oh, and I don't care about this relationship stuff, so hopefully I'll never have to hear about it again. Wishful thinking.
Back at the county jail, prison, whatever, Juice gets his requisite buttocks shot in for the week and we get to see him grimace as he forces a shiv up his fudge tunnel. Remember when he and Chibs got that colonic?
Buzzard McGee is called to see Jarry and they talk about the Chinese guy who supposedly murdered Tara and that other guy whose name we dare not speak aloud. They get into a fight. Gemma doesn't get arrested. Gemma makes a very serious threat. Gemma doesn't get arrested. Nero looks concerned watching this from afar.
Elsewhere, Tig and Happy get their "we're so unusual" joke of the week while digging up the body parts of the dead priest. They finally plan to make an even trade with Marks: an eviscerated corpse and porn for what's left of Captain Blackbeard.
Faux-Marks tells Long John Silver it's time to go home and gives him a broken jaw for his consolation prize. You jackass, now how is Bobby supposed to ARRRRRGH like a pirate? :-(
Nero and Gemma, meanwhile, have left their meeting with Jarry and Nero is going on and on about his farm and selling his share of Casa De Massacre.
Jax and crew meet with Marx to make the trade - Marks double-crosses them and assassinates Stumpy. Jax cries, Marks intimidates Jax a little more before leaving. Sutter was once quoted as saying that a death that would tear us apart takes place in the ninth episode - personally, it would have been more shocking if Bobby hadn't become a blind (ha - you see what I did there), mouth-breathing thug in service of this season's plot - I couldn't care less that he's dead. And besides, they'd already carved him into fish sticks, what else was there left for him to do except take a bullet?
Rat and Brooke talk more about their feelings and their love for one another. Wishful thinking, indeed.
Everyone convenes at the cabin of death and give Bobby a send-off. Jax, during this, assures the plot devices that they are safe. They smile. Expect them to be gunned down next episode.
Chibs is so broken up and destroyed over Bobby that his unintelligible speech reaches new heights. He meets with Jarry with a plan to frame Marks and they have sex in the parking garage while Fee Fi Fo Fum looks on nonchalantly.
Gemma asks to be alone with Captain Ahab's corpse, giving little Abel ample time to eavesdrop some more whilst Gemma says incriminating stuff.
Finally, we get to the last few moments and they end the episode with Marks getting arrested - but not to a montage, surprisingly, but to Jax looking on from afar, wearing Professor Frink's coke bottle glasses.

... "Gemma gets to assume that everyone stares at her saggy funbags. I may have dry heaved a little."
I think that was also my reaction.
I really hate the Abel kid. I don't know why, but his so-called acting or whatever they are having him doing is awful. What is the point of showing him listening in on Gemma again? She didn't say anything groundbreaking. That was a useless scene.
I think the writing has gotten extremely lazy. It has never been the show's strength, but everything is just so cliche. The sex scene....why did she have to rip off all her clothes? It was so weird, and the dialogue before it was horrid.
The scene where Juice sticks the shiv up his ass; I think subtlety would have been more effective than the closeup where is obviously pushing it up. The audience can figure out what's going to happen next...just fade out after the guard suggests he hide the object.
I hope Marks kills all these fools. I was partly hoping he'd dust Jax, but of course we have to save the protagonist for his final showdown with "mama."
The best part of the episode was Jax's glasses.

The kid is such a bad actor and I mean I don't like picking on little kids, but when he grabbed the cookie the other night for instance? I totally did not believe he even wanted the cookie. He's gotta be someone's kid who's connected to the show right?
Even though I want him to take out Gemma, it would probably be so horribly acted it would overshadow the scene. I'm not even sure he could tell Jax and not have it be terrible.

If Jax finds out about Gemma thru the kid, I'm going to be extremly disappointed. this season is trending in the direction of Jax finding out and probably killing Gemma, but how he finds out is very important. If they waste this reveal by using the kid, that will really sour me on this show.
I hope this Abel eavesdropping is just a smoke screen for how Jax will actually find out.
Next episode is called Faith and Despondency from a poem by Emily Bronte.
That's an interesting tidbit. Sounds like the possible beginning of Gemma's demise. Only three episodes left, right? They need to ramp it way the hell up if they are going to end this series with a bang.
Well, hopefully Abel does actually do something. I am sick of his overhearing stuff and then nothing. Either get to killing or get to telling, but stop just listening. Or, if you are going to overhear something, let her see that you heard it. That would be interesting. Gemma really would be between a rock and a hard place. Can't kill Abel, but he could potentially kill her.
EDIT: Apparently, there are four episodes left, including tonight.

It started with the worst opening to an episode in TV history. It ended with maybe the worst reveal in TV history. Historic night for Sons of Anarchy. That was painful and funny in not the way they wanted.
