What a ‘Sons of Anarchy’ season 8 could have been
Tonight, “Sons of Anarchy” came to a close on FX, but is it completely crazy to imagine what the show’s future could have been?
Well, the interesting thing here is that at one point, there were serious talks about a spin-off revolving around the early days of the club, which would feature more of its formation and many of the original members. Maybe this is something that will still come to fruition at some point; show creator Kurt Sutter said that he wanted to take a break from the material before eventually returning to it, so maybe this is something to watch out for a couple of years down the road.
For now, we know that Sutter is busy, working hard now on his upcoming FX drama “The Bastard Executioner.” As he said on “Anarchy Afterword” tonight after the finale aired, keeping himself involved in something is basically his way of ensuring that he never dwells too much on what happened; it helps him to get through the mourning period of losing the show.
So what would the show look like had it continued moving forward after Jax’s death? Well, there’s a reason we are not going to see that, since the presumption here is that things will quiet down. Nero, Wendy, and the children are probably going to have some sort of peaceful existence in Norco, though we’re sure his past will occasionally stop by. Meanwhile, the police will try to restore order in Charming, and SAMCRO will pick up the pieces somewhat.
We feel like the wrong interpretation for the finale is that suddenly the streets are going to be safe. We don’t buy that. This is more a temporary calm before some later storm; all Jax did was ensure that the current key players were out of the equation. It was for the sake of his family, his club, and to a certain extent the sake of his own ego.
Still, we’ll envision an eighth season featuring the adventures of Chibs and Tig running the club, especially since we never thought that Tig was going to make it through all of this alive.

Something kept telling me that maybe jt may still be out there and his body was never shown through any season and if he came back out of the blue and picked up where his son left off and made an outrageous comeback entrance and what if Abel becomes part of the club like Gemma said, when she gave him the ring at the school, what happens to the club after they tell the counsel and other presidents that jax got away, so they stay in charming as that charter or will they shut down and everyone either be off’d or just have to start normal everyday lives which would be boring unless jt did make a comeback after they were forced to live normal lives and restart the club underground with more and stronger numbers and action to avenge jax’s death? What if?

why couldnt he just go into witness protection with Wendy and the boys and the growing baby inside her (presumed)
they try to keep it normal although its their blood that is Abel and we all know that kid is the DEMON CHILD so how they hold xit together will be telling

Don’t think anyone could survive colliding with a truck a full speed.

Is jax really dead? It never showed his body so he could be badly injured bit still alive. I seen it so many times when someone is supposed to die but never shows the body and then there back

Well in the early seasons one or two…. Gemma said to jax that the tellers don’t die easy and they are fighters it’s in their blood up and when his dad jt got hit with the semi he still lived two days after… You never know there could be a reason for that being said!
