Sons of Anarchy

Damn, now I don't want to watch the show until it completely finishes up (in case it horribly jumps the shark in the last seasons).

I don't know, I need to review this entire season when it's over, maybe I'm judging too harshly. The plot has simply felt out of step with what was established in past seasons. It's a shame because Jax vs. Clay (no spoiler, it's pretty omnipresent from the getgo) is basically the show's entire focus, and what made that work was the subtlety, Clay was morally ambigious, but clearly had a soul and cared about those close to him. Taking this season and just making him evil, evil, evil feels like such a cheap move and poor handling of what should have been the show's big moment.

Like I said, maybe I'll feel differently after a 2nd run through but the way this season was handled, unless things are miracously put back together in this conclusion, or next season, I feel like Sons, while still great entertainment, really damaged its greatest assets.

The first act of the finale was good.

it was tense and entertaining, sure, but it's all resting upon a season that just doesn't make sense. He's stacked the finale, but it all came from stupid writing decisions that made shells out of the characters. The portrayals of Gemma and Clay this season are simply unbelievable.
