Able has the Sons ring that Gemma gave him.

It's been a great show and I thought the finale fit well, but I hate knowing it's over.

Same here. Looking back, I really liked that Kurt Sutter managed to hang onto the story arc and keep the flow heading toward the conclusion. Lots of shows just get tired and lose focus in later seasons, and people stop watching. But SOA seemed to be heading toward a conclusion at least since season 5, and as crude as it may sound, starting to kill off major characters kept changing the dynamics and kept the show interesting to the end.

I was a little surprised the way Jax went out riding his dads motorcycle. I thought everyone in the club would have died in a huge gunfight. The club is still intact. Could it come back sometimes with Able filling Jax's chair at the table? He has the ring.

I was predicting that for several weeks==ever since Jax fixed up his dad's bike. Surprised me to see Chiklis as the driver of the truck at the end but pretty ironic, I guess.

Wayne was an interesting character. Terminal cancer from early in the series and unrequited love. Loyal enabler of SOA criminal activity in a effort to keep Charming free of it all. And then retired in a trailer at the Club. Somehow it all kinda made sense that Wayne had to go if Gemma did.
Fantastic writing, everything from a bag lady angel to murdering psychopaths all tied together.

Although I knew in my mind for a long time that Jax was on his way out, that was really the only scene that surprised me. I thought for sure he was just going to gain speed and fly off a cliff into a canyon.
I was given the first 2 seasons for Christmas. I liked it enough to buy the rest of them. I finished watching them all last week. I thought the series was great. Was it at times unbelievable? Most definitely! But, that did not stop me from watching it.
I have a question that I don't think was ever answered in the show. Who killed Gemma's birds and wrote "No Son Is Safe" on the wall?
Also, what was your favorite or most memorable scene?

I liked Sons of Anarchy a lot because running a gunclub in Mexico pretty much forces the "Executive" to live with one foot on either side of the line between law and criminality. The laws are simply too strict to do everything "above board" and like as if it was the Klingon Empire, the Clubs are closely watched. So you end up with the dynamic where the top guys actually do know what's going on and often don't even tell each other unless there's a real "need to know" about ongoing projects (importing 100,000 of some small but controlled item as part of a Feed the Impoverished donation, the Army just cut up 200 guns and is dropping the buckets full of parts off at a "friendly address" for further disposal, etc., etc., etc.) until the deeds are actually done. The T.V. show very nicely portrays this dynamic -- where the top guys have sort of a clue as to what is going on while the rest of the membership thrives in the parties and the B.B.Q.'s and the lifestyle without really being in a position to say (or testify) as to how any certain thing came about to be.
Oh, sure, the show was over-the-top compared to anything we ever do and since we are the good guys, we don't go around knocking people off or living a "thug" existance but when on the one hand what you're trying to do is legal under the "National Constitution" but illegal under some shady law that was passed by the Army and not by any formal civil entity, which nobody got to have a vote or an opinion about -- well you either do something else or do what you gotta do. I watched all the Sopranos, and could honestly say "we aren't like that" but when I'd watch Son of Anarchy with my wife, there were times even she would say "those guys sort of remind me of you guys" in the lengths we often go to just to be able to go shooting and not end up in jail over it.
So I liked the show. Unbelievable at times? Yes. A bit far-fetched at times? Yes. But take any SAMCRO club room meeting where they are talking and voting about how they're going to commit their next mega-crime and transpose that on a group of 8 to 10 of our guys sitting in the Hotel Matilda bar drinking our host's buckshee bourbon and talking quietly about how the Army has "just decided that the .30-30 is illegal but the .30 WCF is not so we have to transport 7 member's rifles to Queretaro and have them quietly remarked from .30-30 to .30 WCF without causing any incidents..." and yes, I do see the similarity between us and them. Our guys don't wear leather nor even camo, and we have Doctors, lawyers, a former mayor, a fairly famous artist, restaurant owners, and for a while until he died even a serving American Consul that sat in on those meetings but we all share a passion that the Powers that Be would prefer we didn't and so we have to do what we have to do to be able to enjoy that passion while staying out of legal trouble and as hassle-free as possilbe. I don't think -- nor even particularly care -- that even one of our members has a tattoo. We're pretty straight-laced guys and girls who have to bend a lot of rules sometimes and have the will to do it as long as it doesn't put us too far out there.
I don't know who killed Jemma's birds but it might have been Juice. As to my favorite scene, it was the scene where Wayne found Gemma's car parked outside the warehouse she had been raped in and shot the lock off the door to get inside to find her while the song "Ruby Tuesday" (performed by Katey Sagel) was playing over the action.
Now excuse me, I have to go and forge a bunch of member's signatures on some stupid sheet of paper the Army just sent out declaring that nobody can own more than 10 guns and does each and every one of our members understand this? Sign here, please______________________ .
