How can Potter be John Teller? Let's ignore the fact that Juice wouldn't recognize THE founding member of the club despite seeing his picture on the wall of the clubhouse everyday. Then let's ignore the fact that there are hospital records showing that John was deceased. If John was in witness protection all this time then he would have had to give up the club and they wouldn't have been able to operate all these years. If John wasn't in witness protection, then we're supposed to believe that he changed his name, his identity, stayed under the radar for 10-15 years, completed a law degree, AND became the assistant district attorney. Can we please lay this stupid argument to rest?

didn't expect the season to end quite like that,but how did Jax know about the CIA involvement? what did I miss? left with unanswered questions,guess that's why I'll be watching next season.still a fan!
I not only think Potter looks like John Teller I believe he is and has been given some new Identity. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW HATE THAT THE SEASON BREAKS AT WEIRD TIMES.I think it should run from at least fall to spring and were are all the reruns they used to play on Friday nights?

Loved the finale! I wish I had figured out Romeo was CIA earlier than To Be: 1! Rest your mind about Clay sitting at "the table" next year-- the Sons have a clear "you don't ride, you're not a member" rule. It's even posted on the wall in one of the later episodes this year-- can't remember which one.
Does no one besides me think Potter looks alot like John Teller??? Or am I just imagining it?? Loved the season, glad that wrapped it up the way they did and can't wait for next season!!!

Harley, I WAS a huge fan since day one but most of this season was a stinker. That picture fade at the end was so cheesy I can't believe they did that.

Outstanding Finale! Loved every episode this season, by far it was the best, riveting. Everybody was great this season, Sutter made tv worth watching again. Now the dreaded wait till September.

Kudos to all, Fantastic ending for the season. Emmy's to all especially Katie and Charlie! Been a fan since day 1. Expect to watch as long as it is on. Ride this one till you can ride no more do not stop at 6 or 7 plenty of material to work with as Kurt is a great story teller. Every Hero Needs a good Bad guy and Pearlman is just that. Every bad guy usually has a good story for getting that way. Keep up the great work We LOVE this show!

I did not see the CIA connection to Galindo coming. I knew the writers would find a way to keep Jax in Charming though, and what a great way to do it. Clay not dying...saw that coming too. I like the terms that Jax set for him, but no way in hell will Clay follow it for long. I kinda thought Tara would leave when she found out Jax was staying but since he told her why (her breakdown afterward was amazing), her staying by his side made sense. Look out for Wendy though. Can't wait for season 5!

The club still doesn't know about Piney being killed or did I miss that one? As far as I know Jax told Opie to lay low and no one knows. Won't there be questions as to why there was no funeral for Piney with the club?

How Matt's review could fail to mention Lincoln Potter is astonishing. He was basically the real hero of the season.
For those of you who loved this episode, please do me two favors: google "deus ex machina" and "can the CIA operate inside the United States". That second one is a big problem with Homeland on Showtime as well.
As someone brilliantly put it on another website regarding this episode, Sutter is insulting the intelligence of his audience by playing "got your nose", at the expense of the story. If you thought this was good TV, you deserve it.

i love how it ended so well. i thought it was the best that i have ever seen. i finally feel better knowing that jax finally knows the truth about the letters. i was wondering how that would play a role. i can't wait to see if there will be a cat fight between tara and Gemma. cause i think that will be awesome to see. looking at the end of the show thing. when tara put her harms on jaxs chest and then see jaxs dad and gemma in that sam postion. was so awesome. i think the show has done very well. i am worried that clay might not listen to jax and do the obersite of what jax says. that's what is eating me up. but who knows. what's instore for the crew.

I loved it! Yes there is a part of me that would have liked to see Clay dead. However, the other part says that I would not want Jax to start down the road of being a "Clay". I know that we are watchng a show about a bad-ass motorcycle gang, blood and gunshots however, the writing of the finale was done in such a classy way. Kuddos to the writers and actors on this show. I look forward to being a part of SOA week after week if only through my television. Go Tara...

Fantastic Finale...when Sutter tweeted that there would be no cliff hanger I was not sure he could tie it all up but.......not only did he tie it up but the lead in for next season already has me wanting more
Finally the Potter is really JT can stop as it is clear is is just Potter who dislikes people. The CIA thing had a bit of the jump the shark almost but who cares what a great plot point for the story to unfold. I am also curious as to how the Opie piece plays out....
Loved loved loved the final scene especially when Tara told him she was staying with him. The comparison said it all
Jax and Tara from JT and Gemma the changing of the guard while at the same time things change while remaining the same......

Linda- Gemma's mother is dead- remember the episode where she goes to visit her father, who has Alzheimer's?

WOW! What a finale! And I'm glad the show focused on Jax and what he now has to do for the club. Tara in the last scene telling him she was staying with him- awesome; especially the look on Gemma's face.Loved it when the sheriff came to cut Juice loose (no pun intended) and he was watching 'The Shield' on TV in his cell. Kurt, you are a master storyteller! I sure hope Opie comes back next season. And Clay, watch your back. Now, the agonizing wait till next Sept!

I love this show Katey was born for this role as far as I'm concerned #1 show for the Adults my whole family has gotten into this show Finale was awesome I had an Idea for next season to bring Cher in as Gemma's Mom as she comes into the show because someone had wrote to her and told her that Gemma
got beat by Clay and she get's pissed and comes to see what is going on with her daughter just an idea but as far this show is concerned it's going to go on for along time........

what do you think clay was trying to say to jax when he had the knife at his throat? maybe something like...hey, you got it wrong,i didn't kill him - i just helped to cover it up...it was your mom!..."
Good show (hard to beat last season closer). We see where next season will go: niners,et al. lots of loose ends to move forward as well.
LOVED the stare down between gemma/tara. words could not have conveyed what those looks did in a few seconds!

I can already see what the next season is going to be focused on. It is going to be all about Jax & Tara and their new reign over the SOA. I appreciated the fact that Tara decided to stay and back Jax up. I also like the fact that Gemma respected the new positions. I can't wait to see what is in store for the next season coming up. Thank you Mr Sutter for such a great season.
