Quote:Waited for it to end so I could binge watch it.  I hate watching most shows weekly. 

 

DVR and streaming (Netflix) have encouraged me to do this as well sometimes.

 

 

Quote:I think Sutter made the decision to not leave the ending  hanging the way they did with the Sopranos.  He said that he had considered just leaving it to the imagination of the viewers, but decided to make sure there was complete closure, so while you don't see him die, you know Jax was killed in the final moments of the series.  Great way to end a great show.

 

Agree, plus... it probably wasn't an intentional reference, but it reminded me of the ending of Lonely Are the Brave.

 

Yes, Jax was struggling between changing who he was at the core and embracing it.  But I also got the impression that, similar to the way Kirk Douglas' character was a throwback and didn't "fit" in the modern world around him, there was no way for Jax to "fit" in the future he was trying to mold.  He felt he was the necessary sacrifice to make life better for the club, his kids, and their future moving forward in the hope the cycle of destruction has finally ended (no pun intended.)
