Gemma is taking a close look at her life and herself. Clay and Nero should be looking at the changes she brought to their lives. Big changes. Gemma comes in a man’s life and turns it upside down.
Clay’s life is over. Everything he is and everything he believed in, or didn’t believe in, is gone.
I cannot believe Jax would turn Tig over. It is truly unbelievable. Pope ain’t no joke. I don’t know how Jax will pull this off but I refuse to believe he will hand Tig over. Jax would for sure be thrown out of the club for that. Pope doesn’t trust anyone, and neither does Jax, and yet they trust each other. I guess it is gonna boil down to who is smarter, or more committed or more clever.
Tara is in good shape and she deserves it. She has been through enough. Tara shouldn’t be so surprised about that speedball in Wendy’s arm because everything Jax does, no matter how evil, is for his family.
Nero is deep in the neighborhood and now he has the Sons to back him up. It doesn’t matter what neighborhood you are in. We always get respect from the street gangs. They look at us like we are crazy. We wear a uniform telling the world we are outlaws. Hey, they are right. It’s called street credibility, and ours can only be earned. It’s not for sale, at any price.
Anyone that fights dogs needs to be dealt with accordingly. I knew that Tig would take it real hard, because he is full of emotion. But seeing those garbage cans full of dead dogs would make me see red. That guy getting his face in the nails got off easy.
Dante got exactly what he deserved — being caught in the car with the animal he was just trying to exploit. Chibs got a kick out of leaving him in the car. I would, too. That’s called Street Justice, which is one of our specialties.
Gemma has no intention of going to Ireland with Clay. She hates Ireland. Gemma is playing a hand at all times. She is completely devious and cannot be trusted.
Chucky might be completely insane, but even he looked at Clay with disgust.
How cool to see the Mayans come to the rescue. Nero has to know them as well since he is also from the hood. Nero just seems to be having too much fun. Jax is different. Everything he does is for his family.
Unser found out some valuable intel on that bearded ex-US Marshal. He is the only relative of the nurse Otto killed. That he means he will never stop, just like Jax won’t, or Gemma won’t, ever stop. Just like anyone that cares enough to do something about a wrong situation.
Otto is a savage for real. Biting his own tongue off to stay silent and at the same time show he is insane, which will destroy his credibility in the Rico case. Savage!
Tara has no permanent nerve damage, which is great news. But with good news always comes a little bad news. Lowen, however, brought some good news, which is that Otto destroyed his credibility by biting his tongue off and the only potential charge that can be filed against Tara is a misdemeanor charge. Tara doesn’t seem too happy. There is no way she will get Jax to sign a paper giving Wendy any authority, no way!
Gemma never ceases to amaze me. The fact that she could threaten Tara with telling the cops on her is lower than she ever has gone before. Dropping a dime doesn’t seem to be in Gemma’s character…whatever character she has left. Jax would kill her for sure, no question.
Chibs is like a doctor, sewing up Happy, Tig, the Dog. He should be known as Dr. Chibs.
Tig is in shock and so am I. Jax holding the gun on his brother, handing him over to Pope, that would be the death of both of them.
Jax is the baddest. I knew he couldn’t do it. He has become a real savage. Jax was smart not to tell Tig about the plan. He’s right that Pope might have picked up on it, but at the same time….that was a big chance to take! Pope could have killed him the way Tig did, without hesitation.
Setting up Clay, using his gun, and Tig being in on it. That is a whole web of lies that got spun with a whole lot of people involved. That’s a dangerous place to be.
Jax did good by not telling anyone at all about his plan. No reason to stop that practice. Roosevelt should be happy. Not only does he finally get the man responsible for killing his wife, indirectly or not, but he also solves one of the biggest homicides in Charming’s history…the murder of Pope.
Juice is so weak. It is incredible. First he sets Clay up, then, when confronted, he folds like a stack of cards. Too late though. Clay is at the bottom. Set up by his brothers, then cemented into place by his wife.
I knew Gemma had no intention of going to Ireland, but hanging Clay out to dry, when all she had to do was what she does so easily, lie, and she doesn’t, that is only because she is pure evil. I don’t know how she lives with her self. Clay looked like he had his heart torn out, he was in shock.
Clay should have turned to Juice, for his alibi, Juice is too weak to refuse him. The only smart thing Juice said is we always have a choice he just never takes the right one.
Jax is a great actor. He has to tell lie after lie and have everyone believe him.
August Marks is the new man in charge. I think he is choosing to believe Jax. This could be the start of something big, and August Marks sees this. It’s always about the biggest picture, and the biggest picture is always money.
Jax has been cleaning house. Tig owes him his life. Jax killed three men just to keep Tig alive. I wonder how long he will let that rat Juice live. Not long I bet. At least now Tig is in a good place with that dog in his lap.
Bobby is the one who is not getting it. He is the voice of reason where then club is concerned, but sentiment runs deep. Jax will never forgive the death of JT, the attempted murder of Tara, could you? Maybe he isn’t so different from anyone else. Anyone would want revenge for that.
Clay is as good as dead and Gemma knows it. She is going to find a new Rooster for the hen house. Nero should be the one who is afraid. Look at her last man…broken and on a train to nowhere.
Nero is fair and right. Jax’s crew deserves that money, they worked for it. Good deal Nero offered, but neither of them can ever leave the life because this is who they are. Getting out ain’t no fun, staying in is fun. Make some money first, then get out if you really want to.
Jax is finally free of all the bullshit and drama, time to make some money.
Tara has a point about leaving, except the thing she is wrong about is that Jax and her have already turned into the people they hate most, but are even better, and more cunning and resolute than Clay and Gemma.
Bobby doesn’t want to be the Vice President anymore. The hypocrisy is too deep for him to be part of this government. It’s all lies.
Clay is on a paddy wagon to the morgue with a five million dollar bounty on his head. My guess is he doesn’t last too long in there.
A warrant for Tara? Could have Gemma really turned in Tara? Lowen established that it would only be a misdemeanor, so that is the only answer. Gemma has no shame, and she will do whatever it takes to see the means to her own end, even turn in Tara.
Just wait till Jax finds out…he will kill her.
Wow! What a show!
So starts the slow season. You all have a great holiday season. I wish you all good health and happiness in the New Year. Thank you for reading my blog.
Take care of yourselves and your family…they are what matters most.

Just wanted to say that I love your blogs….I think their great.
By Suzette Corral on December 7th, 2012 at 9:31 pmBob,
Great breakdowns. I look forward to them. A friend of mine brought up a crazy point. What if Jax was so pissed at Tara for trying to take the kids away and putting Wendy as a Guardian that he had Gemma turn Tara in? I would hate the show if that was the case but Sutter always has a way to twist it up.

By Burnzy on December 8th, 2012 at 2:07 amLove the blog, man…Great show!! Season went by way to fast this year! Can’t wait till next season!

FREE TARA!!! haha, I’m going to miss SOA & your weekly “review”. I hope you continue to blog about your own personal experiences during the off season. 9 months…damn.
By Brittany Swanstrom on December 10th, 2012 at 3:21 pmThanks for the insights Bob. Your blog is the thing I look forward to most after I watch each episode. Keep ‘em coming!
By Brian on December 10th, 2012 at 11:06 pmHey Bob
Thanks for your consistently great reviews. I’ve been following you since Season 3. Never really felt the need to comment . You already said it.
By Jane on December 11th, 2012 at 7:41 amI think Jax and Gemma is in collaboration with that whole Tara thing. Jax was just too calm when they arrested her. And Gemma showing up just at that time. Remember when Jax was talking to her possiblly setting up Clay what is Gemma manipulated him by telling him Tara is leaving behind his back and they can’t let her take the boys!!! what you think?
By Marjory on December 11th, 2012 at 4:26 pmThis was a great season love Fat Bobs blog wouldn’t miss it. Will be glad when next fall comes around. Have a great Christmas and Holidays Fat Bob.
By Joanne on December 12th, 2012 at 11:35 amThanks for the good work. I enjoy the summaries and the insights. Bless you, brother, and ride safe.
By Berko on December 12th, 2012 at 2:52 pmI have been reading your writing for five seasons and let me too you you bring a whole new outlook on this show that only someone with your know how of the world can bring in. Sucks that the season is over ride hard and fast cant wait till next season to see what you record down next.
By Germ on December 13th, 2012 at 9:13 pmAlways enjoy reading your blog Fat Bob, it’s a ritual of mine to come here and read your perspective after watching the show. Here’s to you and yours having a safe and happy new year. I’ll be back reading your blog next year when the next season starts God willing.
By Dan in Tx on December 15th, 2012 at 6:16 pmAs for Tara being arrested, I thought the same thing because Gemma looked surprised to see her in the cop car. She may have been acting. Also, how else would she have known when to go their house? She also appeared stunned when she walked in and saw Jax, but that was just another act. I can’t wait for Jax to find out! I used to think that Gemma was cool, even if I didn’t agree with everything that she did, but now she is absolute poison and a black widow!
Tara will never get out of Charming! If she and Jax, it may be in season seven!
Thanks Fat Bob, same to you.

By George on December 27th, 2012 at 4:13 pmI enjoy reading your comments about the show. I’ve got friends in the life and their opinions almost always line up with yours. I love this show and I’m glad they found a real biker to comment about it. Sincerely, brother, keep it up.
got really hook up on sons of anarchy some old memories
By guillermo sarria on December 29th, 2012 at 11:13 amI agree – Jack may be in on turning Tara in – he was just too calm! Also – I do feel sorry for Nero – basically a nice straight up guy. Like your blog says – look what happened to Gemma’s previous old man.

By Stephanie Chapralis on January 5th, 2013 at 6:41 pmThanks for the breakdown and your perspective. I needed to understand some of the finer points. My brother-in-law was a lawyer but rode a Harley (and was named Harley) and wrote advise in a biker mag about dealing with the law…Opie reminded me of him and I just couldn’t take his death (or the prison scenes since I have kin doing time. But thanks again.
I’ve been reading your blog and love how you do a breakdown of each episode and give insight and opinions on each of the characters and their actions throughout! Keep up the awesome job, can’t wait to see what lies in store for our favorite outlaws in Charming next season!!! This season definitely had several surprising and very unexpected twists and turns with more to come I’m sure… Hope you and yours had a fantastic holiday season and keep blogging!!!
:-):-)
By Loreal Lavigna on January 13th, 2013 at 5:04 pmI had to read the blog a cupple of times, but I think it is going to get really messy next season. I think that most of the MC is going to notice what Clay is doing and it will end very badly for him. Tig will side with Jax, as for Happy and the others I’m not sure. Sadly I think that the poor prospects will get caught in the cross fire and have to choose.
By Jennifer on March 20th, 2013 at 8:59 amlee gave authorities info on the cross gemma will be going into prison with tara. Cant wait for that fight scene!!!!!! Unser is gone after this season he gets killed helping jax ( i got a feeling) Jax will hook up with new nero talent. Ashley tillsdale my bet. Come on Sept its almost here!!!!
