Kurt Sutter Thankfully Didn’t Go With Other Ending Idea

In my mind, there’s no other way for it to end. He made the peace he needed to, made sure his family was protected, and said his goodbyes. He had control over his own death: he didn’t let SAMCRO do it, and he didn’t let the cops do it. Sure, he should have left the club when Tara had asked - but he still left. Jax’s final ride, which ends with allowing himself to drive into a semi-truck, showed that he had learned from his father’s mistakes. John was hit by a semi-truck in 1993, and later died from the injuries. He was looking to go out the same way his father did as a way to finally put an end to all this madness.Throughout the series, he grew angry at his father, J.T., for never leaving the club when it fell apart but instead just writing a manuscript. Jax fired off a few shots to initiate the chase and then barreled down the highway. Right then, you knew exactly what was coming. While saying a few final words to his father, an officer pulled up and told him to get off the bike. You see, Jax knew that the police would be out looking for him (because that's what normal law enforcement tends to do when you start murdering people in plain sight), and that' exactly what he was banking. After shooting Happy in the arm to make Jax's escape look convincing (sorry, Hap), the newly-demoted SOA President took off on his father's old bike and headed to that same piece of highway that took John Teller's life. But like so many times before, Kurt Sutter had other plans and managed to throw fans one final curveball. While each SAMCRO member managed to choke out their vote for Jax's demise, you start to think they might actually do the deed themselves.

Like for real this time.Īnd then the goodbyes came and man-oh-man how the waterworks flowed, for both the viewers and the characters. Patterson's office to explain the events surrounding Tara's death - right before heading out to go murder both Barosky and August Marks, basically insuring the violence in Charming would finally come to an end. Not only did he set Wendy and his sons up financially, but he also paid a visit to D.A. Knowing that his Mayhem fate was already sealed, Jax decided to use what time he had left to at least attempt to right the wrongs he had created. And while I'll admit I definitely shed a few tears, there's no denying how beautifully it all played out.

Jax Teller is dead, firmly solidifying all of those SOA and Hamlet comparisons.

It's a question fans have been pondering ever since Season 7 kicked off and in Tuesday night's Sons of Anarchy series finale, the Grim Reaper finally hit its intended mark.
