I feel the exact same way.

Not to me. I'd love to see that!

i'm not a maggie fan. beyond that, i feel like tara lacks the backbone to be with jax tbh, which his love for her clouds his judgement. jax's and tara's relationship is unhealthy. no need to add a subplot to make the audience sympathize with tara. i feel like her character could be so much better/likable if she were more layered

Highlighted sections i found most interesting as a mode of expression. Thoughts?
If the person gave examples for this opinion then maybe I could understand where they’re coming from – maybe. I just don’t agree with any part of the quote. It took backbone for her to leave Jax. It’s not easy to leave someone you’re in love with, no matter what the circumstances are. How about the fact that she made it through med school and is a skilled surgeon? That takes as much focus and stamina as anything Happy’s or Tig’s ever done. It took backbone for her to stay with Jax and try to deal with all the SAMCRO mess that comes with him. I don’t see how loving Tara has clouded Jax’s judgement. I don’t remember his judgment ever being clouded except by Abel’s abduction in a couple scenes in season 3. What’s unhealthy about their relationship? They love each other very much; they treat each other with respect and affection; and they genuinely like each other. This was evident to me even all through their 10-year separation history, the Kohn problem and their two very different lifestyles. I think Tara is layered. I find her a little mysterious and then she has these sudden bursts of passion, where she smacking a hospital admin around, smacking Jax, and initiating aggressive sex with Jax in a porn house bathroom. She surprises me. I’m never 100% sure of what Tara will say or do. I think she’s the least predictable on the show.

Ooo, gotta get ready for work. I’ll catch up later on!
