Ok, I'm not going to go into a whole lot of details with what happened in this episode, because if you're a huge SOA fan, you already know. And if you're not, then you're probably not interested in reading this anyways.
I was expecting Jax to die, I didn't know how it would happen or when, but I was expecting it. So this whole spoiler situation with a book getting sent out to early, and people finding out that Jax's name was on the list of people to die in Season 7, well DUH, can't believe you didn't think he would die.
It was obvious throughout the episode before this one, and this episode that Jax wanted to die. He was ready, he was very calm about everything, and did what he needed to do. I expected him to send his boys with Wendy and Nero, and for a brief moment I thought Nero might be mad enough about Gemma dying to kill Jax himself. But that didn't happen. I also thought for a minute that Chibs and the club would actually kill Jax. But that didn't happen either. Instead, Chibs shot Happy in the arm, and decided to tell the other presidents that Jax started shooting and took off. Once I realized that Jax was riding his father's bike, I started thinking, wait just a minute here.... he's gonna go out on his dads bike. So I had figured that part out, but not exactly how it would go down. Once Jax got on the road, and the cops started to follow, my first thought was he is going down like a true outlaw, killed by the cops. But no, that didn't happen either. Now there comes the semi (same driver that gave Gemma a ride btw) and I knew exactly what was going to happen. He was going to go out like his dad. Because if you remember Drury said that John Teller, had to have noticed his bike had been messed with, and instead of stopping, ran into the semi truck.
Jax took care of everything that would connect his sons to the Son's of Anarchy, except the ring Gemma gave Abel while he was at school, before she took off. So, will Abel go back to Charming in the future, just cause of this ring? That's a possibility, and it makes you think, did Jax do all this stuff for nothing? Because Abel is going to wonder what exactly that ring means. But I guess it all depends on what Nero and Wendy tell the boys. If they're truly going to tell the boys Jax was a bad guy.
And we finally found out who the homeless woman is. (kind of) Kurt Sutter said on Anarchy Afterward, something like, "She's whoever you want her to be." That they added in some hints here and there, and however the fans interpret it all, that's how they see it.
I do think she's some sort of angel, maybe the angel of death? (The Reaper?) I see her being that more than Jesus Christ. There is the whole bread and wine thing, but to me that just shows she's there when Jax actually gets killed, and gives it the whole religious, mystical type feeling. But like Sutter said, you interpret it the way you want.
And that is basically how I feel with the ending of SOA. I feel like it was a great ending to a great show. It's sad, that it's over. Of course I didn't want Jax to die, but it would've been quite a surprise if he didn't. All the hints were there, it was obvious that it was coming. I didn't want it to happen, like so many other fans, but it did, and I think it was still a great ending. I have to say well done to the cast and crew. SOA is right up there with The Walking Dead as one of my favorite shows. It's a show that I could watch over and over again.
Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.
