We all had some time to get over this bloody and shocking season 6 finale of "Sons of Anarchy"....ok, who am I kidding?! I´m still mourning Taras death and can not get over the fact that her monster ehm sorry mother-in-law killed her!!!
For most of the fans the time until September is a very painful one and so I decided to start speculating a little bit and fill you in about the things we know so far. Also I will throw in some observations and questions and mayyyybe we can start a little discussion here to fill this need for season 7 of SOA :) Okay here it goes:
I am pretty sure I do not need to stress that I want justice for Taras death in some way....she was a inherent part of the story and of Jax´ life. Not only are Thomas and Abel going to grow up without a mother, but the possibility for them to become men in the environment of the MC is very high. It´s the one thing that both, Tara and Jax did not want for them.....but what other choice is there? If I remember correctly Tara set up a will in the beginning of the last season (well knowing, that IF her plan fails, she would not survive!)......and in this will it´s clearly said, that Wendy will be the legal guardian of the boys. Thinking of that it makes total sense now, that Gemma would help Wendy to get clean: She knows, that the girl is afraid of her and somewhat depends on her to help her trough this new found mother role.
So the boys future seems to be pretty much screwed, right?! Let´s see what the future could hold for the other disappointment of the season 6 finale: Juice!
There is NO way that Jax will not ask him at some point of season 7, if he ever found Gemma/ Gemma in Unsers truck! And keeping his mental state in mind it´s very clear, that Juice either gives his suicide attempts another try (I think this would be number 3, right?!) and succeeds; or he´ll just lie to him. But knowing, that stuff like this always comes out one way or another it really looks BAAAD for Juicie boy!!!
Talking of Unser; here is what I think could happen in some of the early episodes of S7: I am almost certain, that Jax will ask him, why exactly Gemma would take his truck and just drive of.....he then will tell Jax, that he told her about the deal...and let´s just hope, that he starts to suspect something;) Unser himself is not yet aware of what his lovely biker queen did, but trust me, he´ll be the first to figure it out! And he will add "mental pain" to his cancer list; knowing that partly he is responsible for Tara´s death!
Let´s step away from the murder for a second and talk about the club and what challenges they will have to face next season:
Kurt Sutter already let us know in the SOA aftershow that aired right after the S6 finale, that season 7 will pick up just like the last one did; a few weeks into the future! In other interviews he stated, that Jax will probably be in prison and will be in some kind of interview with the DA, who at least thinks he killed Eli (okay, we all know we don´t have to worry about him going to prison, because his gun was just found next to the dead cop, but forensics will show, that it was never fired!). So with the ex president in prison it leaves us with Bobby as the MC pres and Chibs as his VP. And given the dynamics of the club we all know this can not be good. Clearly Chibs thought he would be pres; judging from the look on his face in the finale, but he held back because he knew Jax was already mentally curled up on the floor, beating himself up over the decisions he had made that day!
The two (Bobby and Chibs) have no idea what is coming....Nero working with Alvarez and the Chinese, this will definitely stir up a lot of trouble!! The Niners are seeking revenge for the fatalities that they had to face in "A Mothers Work"; keep in mind that at that point Nero was still affiliated with SAMCRO. I think the revenge will not only go towards Alvarez himself, but the Sons will get hit too. Poor Charming is in for a war!! And knowing, that the DA will leave at some point in the early episodes of season 7 this could only mean that the FBI comes back (Sutter already stated, that there will be no new sheriff in town next season). Also Kurt Sutter let the fans know, that there will be some kind of a "new form" of law enforcement, that we did not have had before. We had the sheriff, the undercover FBI agents, the DA....what else is there to come?! A military operation??!! ;)
Speaking of who could come back...here are my thoughts of which familiar faces we could see in the last Sons of Anarchy Season:
- I have a feeling, that the FBI guys will be back
- robocop has to come back.....first of all there is still the possibility, that he will rat out Jax for murdering Vernus´mum and also now that Nero is gone all "bad gang daddy" you can be sure that there will be some Diosa Norte beef coming up
- Brooke has to come back; I mean there is NO way Sutter would write in such an mysterious character just like that.....I have a feeling she will play kind of a big role in the last season!
- I knooooow that her story line is kind of wrapped up now, but I would love to see Venus back in Charming (and believe me Tig would be veeerry happy, too ;) )
All we know so far is, that Wendy will be a main character in season 7 and someone, who had a cameo in season 6 will be back in Charming.....that might be Brooke....but honestly, I have no idea! An other thing we already know is (and forgive me while I dance my "happy-dance") that Collette will only be in a few episodes of S7. Okay that still leaves some "alone time" with Jax, but at least there is a good chance she won´t screw around with him for too long ;)
Either way this last season will be a time for us to say goodbye to Charming and our beloved MC.....it will not suck less though!! For almost 7 years we have gone through all kinds of shit with this club and we all changed from kind of normal tv viewers to a SAMCRO member for 60 or more minutes every Tuesday. We got sucked into this wild ride and since then we never looked at a bike or a local MC without thinking of the Sons ;) The fans celebrated with the cast, when Katey Sagal won her Golden Globe in 2011 and we cried when we lost Opie, Tara and many more.....The show became our own club and a lot of us have met great people because of that! The fandom is unlike any other and so is the show itself! It´s very rare these days, that you are surprised and mindf**d after every single episode of a show....and the genius, that's called Kurt Sutter made it happen EVERY SINGLE TIME! We all love and hate him for that at the same time, right? This is not going to be one of these...."omg I don´t know how to live without this show" kind of post; it´s more of a big fat "THANK YOU" to a staff (and by that I mean literally everyone...make-up, camera, catering,writers,......) and a cast that brings us their A-game once a week. It´s truly a pleasure to watch them do their thing, because you can see, that they too became a part of this MC world and even though it´s fictional, you kind of have the feeling, that they would feel pretty good if they would actually live there ;) ( okay, maybe minus the guns, the drugs and all the other illegal stuff :D).
As we can expect a lot of dead SOA members next season I am very sure, that there will be a lot of post dealing with their back stories and a "ode"-like paragraph like the one I did for Maggie....but let´s deal with that when the time comes, okay?
One way or an other I think the series will end with some kind of a connection to John Teller...the show started with him in the center and as the "good ghost", that guided Jax and in my opinion this is the way it should end. I do not necessarily mean that Jax has to find out about Gemmas involvement in his fathers death, but I think the guidance of his father will help him get trough season 7.
So before we get TOO nostalgic let me hear your predictions about season 7....what do you want to see next season and what themes will be back to haunt us in the final episodes of our beloved show?
Let´s hear it folks! Let´s talk tv!
