- Jax Teller rode out of our lives on Tuesday.
We knew this was coming: Sons of Anarchy is over. The FX show bowed out on December 9 with more of a whimper than a bang as Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) Thelma & Louise‘d into oblivion in “Papa’s Goods.” But the fuss is far from over; among all the usual recaps and goodbyes, there have been think pieces about the show’s ending and bizarre police reports about a supporting player.
Jax continues killing off of the competition, which, at this point, is really just the “Irish King” gun runners, because Jax and his crew have wiped out most of the Chinese underworld while working with the black and Latino gangs to take control of the gun and drug trades. This mostly goes off without a hitch, and Jax throws in the murders of a corrupt cop (Peter Weller) and a rival gang leader (Billy Brown) to further secure SAMCRO’s future.
I’m not soured on the show, though. I’ll likely watch it in syndication. It can’t hurt to work on my allusion skills.
