Tara's plan in S6 was so stupid.
I'm going to rant because nobody i know watches this show, and I need to vent lol!
I'm rewatching the series. And knowing Tara's fate, I can't stand how dumb she is written throughout the whole series. I'm aware that she probably would have been written out by S4 if none of this happened.
She chose to play house with a criminal while trying to advance herself in a legitimate, respectable career. She always had thugs gallavanting about at her place of work, pulling her aside to have heated discussions in front of everybody. She knew the deal before they got together, but she always bitched about the violence. She had the chance to bail so many times. How many times did we have to hear "Waah! But Jax, what about the boys! Our boys! We have two small boys"! Seriously. For the love of CCH Pounder, get it together!
She couldn't bear the thought of being without Jax. She would rather be a helpless, sitting duck than to be without a man. Yea, she loves him and it might hurt to leave him, but she'd survive. The kids can't survive without someone looking out for them, though.
He was always being pulled back into club drama because the MC is his family just as much as Tara and "the boys". It didn't matter how much time she gave him or how close he said he was to getting out. Her denial about that was frustrating to watch.
She was 100% right to try to get them away, but she waited too long. She got involved with Otto which resulted in that bullsh-t charge. Then, she really couldn't leave. So in S6, she is scrambling around trying to execute this horrendous idea at the last minute. She trapped herself. That's what was so frustrating. Unless I'm forgetting something, Jax never acted like she couldn't leave until he found out about her master plan. He encouraged her to go once. All of this "Gemma won't let us leave" crap that she was spewing was annoying.
Jax was toxic. Gemma was toxic. The club was toxic. Charming is a cesspool. She sat around with her mouth hanging open waiting for change. And now that I'm re-watching this, and I know how it turns out, all I can think is "wtf is so special about Jax"?
