Few shows remain as relevant and impactful as Sons of Anarchy. The story of a gang of northern California biker outlaws quickly rose through the ranks and has since cemented itself as one of the greatest shows of all time.
Due credit given, by no means is it flawless. Incredible as it was, SOA had its fair share of glaring inconsistencies.
Take a look and check out these 10+ Sons of Anarchy plot holes fans can't get over.
In fact, it's far from it. But we're not here to look at any problematic subjects, or little mistakes editors didn't catch.
We want to look at some plot holes, unanswered questions, and things that were never explained.
In a clearly symbolic act, Gemma passes a "SONS" ring to her oldest grandson.
This is with the implication that Abel is going to one day take Jax's place. But there are a few problems with that.
Gemma tends to go back and forth a lot about what she wants for her grandchildren. But at the end of the day, while she wanted them to keep close, she did want them out of the club.
The entire season literally hinges on this disputed land deal with August Marks. But, after the big bad passes, this just all goes away?
That's a pretty lazy loose end to leave untied if I do say so myself.
This key fact quickly becomes a side note as seasons go on. In the first season of the show, Wayne says his doctors have given him months to live.
Clearly his prognosis was incorrect.
Juice begins working with the police because they threaten to reveal that his father is half-black. This "club rule," however, is a relic of a forgotten time.
Chibs tells Juice that half the club members don't even know who their fathers are. Pretty stupid move - even for Juice.
Charming, CA is a fictionalized small town of fewer than 20,000 people.
How on earth would an MC that makes as much noise as SAMCRO be able to go about their operations without anyone noticing faster?
Especially as things get worse and worse.
But in all honesty, it's probably just for storytelling purposes.
So we're supposed to believe that one of the largest and most secretive terrorist organizations in the entire world is letting these leather-clad motorheads run their guns?
I don't think so. John Tellers' ties to SAMBEL are equally as murky.
Times change, so do people, and so do politics.
It's hard to believe that their agreement would never have shattered.
Boy, did they ever flip-flop on this one? First, it's heavily implied that, not only was John murdered, but that Clay was the one responsible (with the help of Gemma?).
But in the later seasons, it's hinted that John killed himself.
Season 4 saw some drastic changes to SAMCRO: their operation got bigger and the consequences of their actions became much more violent.
It erased a ton of the stories that were trying to be played out, and it basically just turned into a get out of jail free card.
So maybe not a true plot hole, but definitely one that made the plot make less sense.
Dead wives. Dead children. Dead cousins, brothers, uncles, sisters, brothers... You get the point. If you hang around SAMCRO long enough, you wind up dead.
How has no one else clued into this fact?
In one of the final moments in the series, Jax can be seen walking with a strange unexplained limp.
It turns out it came as a result of a real-life accident! Charlie Hunnam injured the foot while on set.
This one seems pretty glaring, but how is it that in a show that revolves around a motorcycle gang, there isn't a single shot of a woman on a bike?
In seven seasons?!
What was the point of showing Gemma meeting Milo? Furthermore, why was he the one with Jax in the end? There wasn't anything special about him at all and he wasn't a recurring character.
Also, why such a high profile actor in Michael Chiklis?
Most of us were just left wondering why on earth there was all this build-up, and he was left with a pretty unimportant role.
Who knows? Maybe he'll return in the spinoff and all our questions will be answered.
The last time we ever see Jarry is when she tells Chibs about the APB the police have out for Gemma.
I hate to even think about it, but there is a nasty history of police officers disappearing after associating with the club...
This is one of the great unanswered questions from the series.
Clearly, she is supposed to be some type of Jesus or Christ figure, but beyond that, it's all up in the air.
But if we follow the idea that the show is meant to represent Hamlet, we could assume that she is some kind of ghost.
Arguably, it wouldn't even be the most unrealistic thing about the show.
Or do you have your own theories to fill the void of these plot holes?
If you do, let us know what they are below in the comments! We'd love to hear them!
