This is from JoBlo.com or something. I am feeling more and more Team Wendy than Team Jax for who gets the boys after hearing Drea talk. No matter what Jax loses, he just never seems to learn.

When asked where she’d like to see her character go this coming season, she offered this.

"At the moment, I have absolutely no idea where the story is going. I had ideas of her staying clean and keeping **** together for everybody, which would be the complete antithesis of who she was at the beginning of the show. But I don’t know, she’s been so vulnerable and easy to break, I don’t know if she’s going to be able to handle the mayhem and chaos that I’m SURE will ensue as it has in every season. And there’s no Tara here this year. She was my rock. Even though we had our conflicts, I leaned on her. I personally miss her. I miss Maggie, I miss working with her. Whatever Kurt decides is where she should be as far as I’m concerned. I trust him."

I’m sure that’s exactly what it WILL be for Jax and Tara fans. And yet knowing that? I still have to watch. And that’s all because of Charlie.

I do, and I’m also afraid the captain (Jax) is going to go down with that ship.

The only slightly satisfying end to me would be to see Gemma destroyed by Jax the way she’s destroyed him. I’m holding on to the possibility he will get his revenge by taking her out as brutally as she did Tara. I have to hold on to that hope because there’s little else to hope for. It’d be icing on the cake if some of the characters I still like DO survive instead of my previous assumption (based on Hamlet) that only one person would be left standing at the end of this. But only time will tell. The only good thing about this season versus last season for me is that last season I was stressed out and depressed week after week from the worry of Jax and Tara’s deteriorating relationship and what was going to happen between them…would they get their happy ending or not. That option’s gone now so I know it’s going to be depressing and it’s going to be tortuous to see Jax so changed, but at least I won’t be as stressed about the state of their marriage.

This is my favorite version of the season 6 promos as well…simply because it had Jax and Tara standing close together in it, with her holding onto him for dear life. We can’t tell if he’s got his arm around her or not, but I like to think he does. And I love the expression on Jax’s face like he despises Gemma for holding on to him like she is.

As for the Season 6 DVDs… The DVD cardboard sleeve is of Jax, but once you remove it, the plastic cover is an alternate version of what you posted, with Chibs in the upper left corner, then Bobby beside him, then Gemma in the upper right corner. The next row down, from left to right, is of Tara and Tig. The next row below that one, from left to right, is of Clay and Juice. At the bottom is Jax. Clay has his arm around Jax’s neck with his fist beneath Jax’s chin. The discs are of solo photos. Disc 1’s photo is of Jax, Disc 2 is of Chibs, Disc 3 is of Tig, Disc 4 is of Juice and Disc 5 is of Bobby.

Thank you so much for taking the time to describe this!! I really appreciate it!!!
And thank you for this as well!! I do have iTunes and because of your giving us this info, I’m thrilled to say I was able to see it too!!! I can’t thank you enough!!!
~~
ITA with everything you said and feel the same way. And having been able to watch the "Special Look" video on iTunes (thanks to qwerty101, to see Jax was actually crying as he was spooning Abel and that it looks like Abel was holding Jax’s right hand… OMG there are no words for how sad and angry I’m feeling right now!!! Gemma just HAS to pay!!!

~~

You’re so welcome! Happy to find something to contribute.

That’s kind of the way I felt about it, too, after I read it. But there were a few new-to-me things. Like I’d never read anything about his parents before, for example.
This was definitely my favorite part of the interview, too.

That’s exactly who and what I’d felt he was referring to as well. The instances of infidelity may not have been many but nevertheless, it always felt so out of character to me for Jax to cheat on Tara. When you loved someone as much as Jax and Tara loved each other, you just don’t DO that. Especially when you know it’s a deal breaker issue. They were soul mates. They’d loved each other more than half their lives. It just never made sense to me for Jax to cheat.

If Sutter lets Gemma get away with all the crap she’s pulled it will ruin the entire series for many, many fans including myself. I can’t think of a bigger chicken on the show that needs to get cooked.

I’m right there with you!!!

~~

He really is eloquent. I’m proud of him, too. He’s learned to navigate well around Sutter’s ego. But if he had written for the show, I have no doubts it would have reignited problems between him and Sutter. So that’s probably why he never did.

This is so very true! What kind of message would it send if she STILL wins at the end. It wouldn’t ring true at all for her not to finally pay for her misdeeds.

Any information on how Unser will be dealing with Tara's death on Sons of Anarchy since his misinformation is what got her killed? — Britt, via Twitter

Although Wayne isn't exactly privy to how his words led to Tara's doom, he's mourning the loss. So much so, in fact, that he even finds a way to help the new sheriff with the murder investigation. Although it's great to see Unser flexing some of his old lawman muscle, there's at least a couple people who certainly don't want Unser digging around. In other words, he better watch his back.

Just saw that scene of Jax & Abel in gif form on tumblr and it's even more heartbreaking than the photos. Seeing the tear rolling down Jax's face and his blank, dead stare. As much as he loves his sons, being near them is just a huge reminder of what they have lost. I think that is why Jax does not want to see them as soon as he gets out of jail. That would derail him from what he feels he must do: hunt down and kill the person responsible for Tara's death. I'm glad to see that he does "go home" soon after he gets out. It shows that the Jax that loves his sons and wants to do right by them is still in there.

I'm just going to have keep reminding myself that the more conniving and deceitful she is in the cover-up of Tara's murder, the worst things will be for her in the end. She is just digging a deeper and deeper hole for herself and I really hope her son will be the one to throw her in.

I need to keep that hope that she will not get away with it, otherwise, I will not make it through the first few episodes seeing her smug face thinking she has gotten away with it and that what happened (Tara dying) was destined or fated.

Aw you guys, this melted my heart! I can't begin to describe how much I love watching Charlie talk about Maggie
Jax & Tara

He said Jax/Tara was the thing on the show he was most proud of... oh my heart :'(

Soulful

Wow I am loving the insight we are getting from the actors coz in most cases it contradicts the direction their characters have been written. Maybe its because this is the final season so there is a bit more freedom for their thoughts and opinions but either way I am glad coz sometimes I scratch my head at some of the characters' actions.

I haven't seen Drea in anything else but it seems she really gets her character probably better than Sutter himself coz if he hadn't just used her character simply as a pawn in Gemma and Tara's rivalry for Abel and Thomas, I would have probably rooted for her to take the boys this season based on this interview. But until I see how she is faring in s7 I am still on the fence about her role in the boys' lives.

Omg I need that DVD coz I love how he always says how he is most proud of his work with Maggie I have a feeling he is a secret romantic considering how most of his screen time is actually dedicated to club business and yet he loves the least club related thing on the show But that seriously warms my heart, thank you for link

Don't know if anyone surfs IMdB like I do but I saw this What to Watch episode on the homepage. Charlie is charming as ever and the rest of the cast gives great interviews too

"IMDb: What to Watch" Sons of Anarchy: Part 1 (TV Episode 2014) - IMDb

Well that IMDB interview really made it clear that Jax is all in with the club. How disappointing. Poor Tara's death meant nothing.

Don't_Go_Anywhere

I wonder what episode they were shooting when that interview was filmed? Katey was sporting a bruise on her face while playing Gemma. Thank you for posting link Soulful!

Another new trailer:

The amazing owner of this tumblr kimtotes.tumblr.com has a great eye and pointed out that Jax is actually stabbing the guy with a weapon similar to the one used on Tara. I also noticed that he's actually stabbing this person in the back of the head. I'm thinking there may be a scene where Jax finds out the details of how Tara died from Patterson or that old man possibly, which was also a suggestion on that tumblr.

Don't_Go_Anywhere

It took me forever because I can never notice these fine details on my tiny MacBook but finally a really clear gif set of the promo was done by someone on tumblr and you are right, it's definitely a meat fork to the back of someone's head. Either if this is a dream or real, Jax knows the details of how Tara died. I really wanted him to know how brutal her death was like some of you said earlier so that when the time came, he would take appropriate action. But of course, the person responsible scathes by once again. And the cycle of violence just continues on.

I think Jax kills Nero this season.

If Jax didn't go all in with the club than there wouldn't be a show if he leaves Charming. And remember there is still another huge character development to come, when Jax finds out Gemma was the one who killed Tara. I read that it is really sick and brutal to what he does to the person he thinks killed her, must be that kitchen scene.

Charlie gave an interview about SOA to JoBlo.com. Here is what he said about season 7:

Jax was in the darkest place he’s ever been in at the end of last season. What has been your mindset going into the new season?

I unfortunately in my life have dealt with bereavement as everyone has. As much as that sucks, it was at least helpful in understanding the pattern of the way bereavement works. And one thing that I kind of talked to Kurt a little bit about was that we wanted to avoid it being all doom and gloom, as much as there is a tendency to really invest in the heartbroken-ness of it. But I thought it might be something equally interesting to juxtapose half of that with a sense of liberation. Because I think one of the things with Jax is that he’s been trying desperately to move in this righteous direction. Partially because he thought that was right, but partially because he had these kind of two guiding stars, of Tara and his father, and he became somewhat disillusioned by what his father was. So by the end of last season it was Tara that was kind of his true north - although there was always a fight. And it’s kind of an abstract idea, but I really like zombie ****, like end-of-the-world apocalypse type narrative and what I think that provides me is that fantasy of liberating oneself from the minutia of everyday life. Like I’m such a *****ing nutcase in feeling like I need to do something with my life, and that I need to be engaged, and the idea of saying goodbye to the desire to do something with one’s life. Or to be a good person or whatever and just say, “***** it, the gloves are coming off, this is who I am and this is what I’m gonna do” is kind of liberating. So for me it’s been a balance of those two things: of course honoring Tara and that relationship and feeling some of that loss and heartache, but also really embracing the freedom of no longer having to be a “good guy” affords Jax, and that sort of comes with losing Tara. So we’ll see how that works out on screen.
