TVLINE | I’d love to break down a few specific scenes from the finale. From his crushedness of the Juice moment to the resignation and resolution of what he has to do, and putting the plan in motion. From Episode 11 when he finds out from Juice what happened, to 12 when everything starts in motion with the killing of Gemma and Unser, and then the conclusion in 13 - I think Charlie’s performance was in a zone. It really was a three-episode miniseries. I love what Charlie was talking about on Anarchy Afterword. It’d be strange for him to dwell on something that’s so far in the past.Įxactly. TVLINE | Plus, Jax seems so at peace with his fate throughout the hour. He knows the best way to leave his family and to keep his boys out of this life is by creating a character, or a memory, that they will hate. Jax is now looking forward, he’s thinking, “What’s the best way to take care of my kids? Will the club be OK?” He’s cleaning things up for the club and setting everything in place for Chibs. And whether or not this actually happened in the past isn’t affecting Jax now. But both are moot, because Gemma and Clay are now both dead. If you listen to what Jax is saying at the wall, it’s still somewhat ambiguous as to whether he believes what Jury says - which is that JT killed himself - as opposed to the story of what Gemma and Clay colluded on. Was it a conscious decision not to make that a big focus of the finale? TVLINE | Jax never really learned about Gemma’s involvement with his dad’s death, and when he burns John’s manuscripts, that entire chapter closes, in a way. Anyone who is watching the show and is feeling what’s going on would probably not have been satisfied - despite what they say - if Jax just went to prison or just alerted the authorities and went to become a lumberjack. If you’re telling a tragedy, it doesn’t end happily ever after.
We’re telling a tragedy, and it has Shakespearean overtones and undertones.
TVLINE | How early in the season did you and showrunner Kurt Sutter discuss if and how Jax would die? Still, some questions were left unanswered: Does Abel’s fascination with his dad’s club ring mean the boy is destined for the SAMCRO life anyway? Who is that homeless woman? Is it possible that baby dolls have never been creepier than during Connor Malone’s epic car chase with the Sons?īelow, Barclay discusses all those points - and tells us which Sons moments will stick with him for quite some time. “Everyone wanted it to be as satisfying as possible.” “From the very first weeks in the writers’ room, when Kurt laid out the big arc of the story, we knew this was where we were going,” Barclay says.
