Sons of Anarchy : Wendy is a moron

Wendy is a moron

Granted she was a lost cause and a poor excuse of a mom through much of the series towards the second half of it she was really starting to wise up and clean up to be a decent human being.

One thing that annoyed me was Jax shooting her up with heroin forcefully and then her singing his praises later on even clinging to him in S7.

It was pretty pathetic.

Re: Wendy is a moron

100% agree! I just didn't buy the fact that she would still be madly in love with Jax and would want to be back in the life again after he kept her from her kid for 5 years and compromised her sobriety weeks before. In season 6 when Tara discovers her doing drugs again, Wendy tells her that Jax is the reason for her relaps and Tara needs to get those boys as far away from charming as possible....Tara dies and all of a sudden Wendy remembers how much she loves Jax, Bobby tells her he sees it.. Jax saw nothing, except getting revenge on the people responsible for killing the love of his life, he didn't even know his kids existed at that time, let alone that Wendy loved him. Jax was using Wendy as a babysitter, and to make himself feel better after what he did to his mother. I have stated before on a different thread that Jax was not the same person she married, he and the club were completely different place.

I am happy that the boys had someone not in the club to raise them at the end. I was always rooting for her to be in Abel's life..just not in Jax's.

Re: Wendy is a moron

Honestly if you look at the way Wendy and Jax have talked about their past it wasn't exactly a fair tale back then either. Wendy said that they should have never gotten married and that they were just drinking buddies who had great sex. Kinda seemed like there was never a real relationship just those two using each other.

Come S7 and it doesn't feel like that changed much. Jax is using her to take care of his kids that he's neglecting while he goes on an all out murder spree and comes home and bangs her in his and Tara's bed after just killing his mother. That scene was a little creepy to me and honestly I was kinda glad it was almost over.

Re: Wendy is a moron

such people do tend to be pretty pathetic continually, making pathetic choices..

able to get past and tacitly reconcile with people who have done appalling things to them, even...which is in itself often another pathetic choice, locking them into a cycle.
She looks the part.
I shared an apartment once with a biker-wannebe teenager named Dee Crout..(somewhat advanced for her years in some ways, admittedly, she and her friend had hitch-hiked around the country when they were 14YO..her friend was carrying a sawn-off shotgun)
She even looked like Wendy...except different eye-colour..

they are almost all from the same familiar kind of family back-story.

It's not that much of a stretch that Wendy gets past Jax shooting her up.

Re: Wendy is a moron

I would agree with you about it not being much of a stretch if she wasn't a addiction counselor. Her job before she relapsed, or Jax shot her up with herion was to counsel addicts, I'm sure she was not only trained to help people get off drugs it was to help people get out of abusive relationships, Wendy was level headed and knew right from wrong during the fight with Tara about getting the boys out of charming in S6...weeks later she wants back in. Don't buy it, not believable to me.

Re: Wendy is a moron

While you are totally right that Wendy shouldn't have wanted to be with Jax after all he did to her, I could relate to Wendy. I was in an abusive with a man I was madly in love with, even though he tried to poison me once. I'm now happily married to a wonderful man. I have forgiven that ex, though, and we're actually friends now. Wow, right? My ex and I work well as friends. He was a ticking time bomb often, though, and he could be very violent to me. I think Wendy sees the tons of goodness in Jax, and she understood Jax could go from wonderful to homicidal in one minute. Relationships like what I had with my ex and what Wendy had with Jax are so very ccomplicated. They are also very dangerous. So many women in real life get wrapped up big time in such relationships. It really screws with your mind when you're in love an unpredictable demon. I liked Wendy a lot, especially in the last four seasons.

Re: Wendy is a moron

I would totally agree with you if she hadn't been OUT of the relationship for five years. The talk Jax had with Wendy in season one right after she gave birth to their child early and almost died herself, he tells her they NEVER should have married in the first place, Tara wasn't even in the picture yet. Yes he slept with Wendy in season one....hours later he professes his love to Tara and angry she wants to go back to Chicago. I stated before Wendy didn't even know who Jax was anymore, he was a completely different person than the one she married. I think I can only name one conversation they had that was civil, let alone show that Jax in anyway loved Wendy, so the love she had was completely one sided. I'm sure she's going feel extremely used and upset after she learns that Jax slept with her after he killed his mother, I felt so bad for her after that scene, knowing that Jax wasn't going to survive the day.
Knowing that she would forgive Jax for everything and anything makes me sad also. Jax wanting Wendy to raise those boys to hate him will NEVER happen.

I'm not trying to change anybody's mind about Wendy, and I do truly respect everyone's opinion about her, and is one of the main reasons I love this show, everyone takes something totally different away from it.




Re: Wendy is a moron

Tara was in the picture since they were at school. Jax never got over her. But she was way above his league, and Gemma never liked her. It was Gemma who pressured Jax to marry Wendy , a croweater, somebody with low self esteem and without much ambition -- someone she could control.

I think that's why Gemma liked her, she saw herself in Wendy.

Re: Wendy is a moron

Very true. We didnt see Wendy before the events of the first season, but it seems like she was probably just a generic Croweater type. Thats exactly what Gemma started as before she rose to the top. She knows how to control those types of girls and make them do what she wants.

Tara is a much different type of girl and she is not as susceptible to Gemma's tricks. Shes educated and not trashy and doesnt care about rising to the top of the croweater ranks, at least not at first. Gemma can pressure someone like Wendy to do whatever she wants, but she has no control over Tara.

Who is this directed towards? I'm confused.

Plus, Tara WAS in the picture. They had been lovers since they were like 16 but Tara left to go to med school.

Why would you feel bad for Wendy? She was the one that came on to Jax and obviously was trying to get him into bed which happened eventually.

Wendy wasn't the one that Jax wanted to get his kids to hate him. He asked Nero to do that.

Re: Wendy is a moron

Jax and Tara had not been together for TEN years. That is out of the picture to me. I don't consider that just because they were together 10 years prior, to be in the picture. I meant they were not a couple again yet.

Wendy is the one Jax wanted to have his kids hate him. The conversation Jax and Nero have at the end, Nero says "what should I tell Wendy". He tells Nero to have Wendy tell the boys everything, that he's not a good man, criminal and a killer and grow up hating him. Jax wasn't even sure Wendy was going to stay on the farm and raise the boys with Nero. He said she could live back east with her family or anywhere she wanted just not charming.

I felt bad for Wendy because although I know she initiated it, I'm sure after sleeping with Jax, she woke up the next morning with dreams and visions that she's going to finally have the family she has wanted from the beginning. I can't imagine what she's going to feel after finding out that not only did Jax shoot Gemma in the head, he slept with her almost right after, knowing that he was not going be alive to give her the family she longed for.

Re: Wendy is a moron

His conversation with Nero was about him needing his kids to hate the thought of him. He simply wanted Nero to tell Wendy about the mayhem vote and that he was leaving his things to her.

As for being in the picture, Tara being Jax's childhood sweetheart most definitely makes her part of the picture if they were together or not at the time.
