Sons of Anarchy

  I don't know what this symbolizes or what it means, but the homeless looking woman at the dumpster talking to the stuffed animals at the dog fighting ring has appeared in a lot of episodes and always in a crucial moment/major desicion on SOA, and has only ever interacted with Gemma and Jax and she has been in every season so far.
  
  In the supermarket with Gemma (she gives her money)
  She is in the cemetary with Jax at Opies wifes funeral
  She is in the church with Gemma after the rape
  She is in Ireland with Jax as he is watching Abel with his newly adoptive parents
  She is in the park and distract Jax just before Tara is taken and hurt

  The homeless lady represents the recurring Witches in Macbeth and Hamlet tying SOA to Shakepeare which Sutter likes to do.

  Sutter interview:
  
  Just to confirm: Tara’s arrest was the result of Gemma making good on her promise to rat her out?
  
  My intention was to definitely put that out there as a possibility, and I think we’ll reveal how that happened. I do want the audience coming away with, “Wow, did she actually follow through on that threat? And what does that mean for Gemma and Jax if he finds out?” I definitely wanted to create that discussion.
  
  
  
  
  Did the thought ever cross your mind to actually have Jax give up Tig to Damon Pope?
  
  There were a couple different scenarios on the table. I think there was an even an early scenario where Tig died in jail with Opie. I love the actor and I love the character and unless I really needed it for story or I really needed it to take the series to the next level like we needed the death of Opie to do — if I was going to get rid of a guy like Tig, it just had to be something that the series needed. At the end of the day, I liked the idea that Jax still took a risk with his life, but ultimately got him a pass. I think Jax has the realization that his inner circle is getting smaller and smaller and that he perhaps needs as many allies as he can get.
  
  
  
  
  Is Juice now officially in the clear for ratting out the club?
  
  You know, we had a scene in the finale that we cut out of the broadcast version because I didn’t know what I wanted to do with it next season. We had Chibs ask what they do about Juice and Jax just gives him a nod. We then see Chibs go to Clay’s house and he beats the sh-t out of Juice within an inch of his life. But I realized that I didn’t want to do that because I loved the moment with Jax and Juice in the clubhouse, when he kisses him and says, ‘I’m proud of you.’ I didn’t want to undermine that moment and make Jax look like a psychopath. [Laughs] Also, I wanted the option of going in a couple different directions in Season 6. I didn’t want to put a bow on it with a beatdown, which suggests that all is forgiven and this is how we’re going to fix it. I just like the idea that it’s out there and maybe we play it, maybe we don’t play it. But ultimately, Juice has earned — for now anyhow — some time.
  
  
  
  
  The finale left things open for Jimmy Smits, Donal Logue and Billy Brown to all return next season. Is that the plan?
  
  Donal I know is coming back. We have him for 10 episodes, I think, so he’ll definitely be back for 7 or 8 [more] next season. The way we’re doing it with Jimmy is that nothing would make me happier than to bring him back. I love the character, I love the guy, it’s just good energy on the set and, I think, ups everybody’s game. But he’s a busy guy, so what I wanted to do was leave it a little bit open-ended so that there was emotionality and story left on the table that we could pick up with, but that there was nothing that was lynch-pinned to anything that needed him to swing to the next place. We’ll probably get into that soon with Jimmy, but I would love to bring him back. And the same thing with Billy Brown. Sometimes it’s harder to get these guys who you don’t have big season arcs for because they’re in demand, like Billy… But I’d love to bring him back and I think there’s an arc for him. I just don’t know what that is yet.

  On the reappearance of the homeless lady in the finale:
  "She's a little bit of my Shakespearean ode to magic," said Sutter, who warned fans not to expect some "big revelatory moment" between her and Jax, although she may continue to pop up every once in a while.

  Yeah now I'm more confident in my original assessment - no way Gemma turned her in that quickly. US Marshall is next best bet.

  If anything, we know how quickly Sutter changes his mind and goes a different direction. I doubt with a year to think, he's sure of what direction he's going to go with the storyline for certain yet.

  Definitely, but he's smart enough to leave him self an out and have multiple directions for next season. Who ratted on tara, what happens to clay and jax. I like that the season closes the door on some plot lines but then opens five more.
  
  I know it's a while away - but my expectations for the series finale are threw the roof.

  Easy Rider bike show will be in Columbus this weekend at the Convention Center. Charlie Hunnam (Jax) was supposed to be a guest appearance, but he had to cancel due to filming. Replacing Hunnam will be Ryan Hurst (Opie). If you watch Full Throttle Saloon, Michael Ballard and Angie will be there as well.
