The whole season was a mountain climb for Jax Teller. Trying and trying to get his MC out of the gun running game left more than a few dead bodies behind. External and internal strife kept coming him and he managed to make some real progress…until the end.

I like how Jax has really become Clay, but at the same time he’s still Jax. Through it all, he’s a fiercely loyal person with a moral code. He doesn’t want to harm people, but sometimes he has to. He feels remorse, shame and regret. All to reach a peace that may never be possible.

There was a lot of drama this year (like always) and I think it was another solid season from beginning to end. The finale was massive and sets up a really weird final season. Every death in this show is really meaningful and those last two really couldn’t have been bigger in this universe. I don’t really know what this means for Gemma at large, I don’t know how she can pick up the pieces after this last stunt. And Juice? So much in the air. In Kurt Sutter we trust! I’ll leave it to his mind to follow through with his crazy set up. Next season is going to be the last one, so that makes the anticipation even greater.

Now that Sons is done, that leaves the stage open for Justified to return next month! FX continues to be my favorite network.
