Why was Jax allowed to get away with what he did?

Warning: Spoilers
The club has rules and when you break them, you face the consequences. We witnessed this throughout the series. It makes absolutely no sense that suddenly the club wouldn't follow through with Jax, there is no indication that they changed how they function, or why they would be lenient with Jax and not Juice. Especially that Juices' "crime" was much less severe than Jax's. I mean, Jax took the club on a killing spree out of revenge. All Juice did was tell Nero that Jax had him kill Darvany, which caused no problems, Nero still worked with Jax and trusted him. Their decision to spare Jax would have made more sense if Jax had given them JTs' manuscript. They would have read it, agreed things needed to change, and the change would have started with not killing Jax. Instead, the club decided to break their own rules, with no explanation or logical reason for it. Why are they all OK with what Jax did? Not only did he take them on a vengeful killing spree, he killed a member of the Sons and lied about why and what happened. Ridiculous

It feels like Kurt is THAT person who went to film school and they think they're SO artistic. He got really into Shakespeare and thought "I'm gonna do a modern day Hamlet, but take in a different artistic direction, I'll make it about biker gangs! This will be a work of art!" There are so many examples of this in this episode. 1- the camera panning to the bread and wine for longer than needed when Jax sees the homeless woman 2- the homeless woman. 3- Jax on the steps with the blanket over him, then standing, the blanket falling to the ground. ugh. 4- Jax driving down the highway being followed by cops. More and more cops get added behind him, yet, NO cops show up in the other direction? ughh 5- the crows flying out of the trees as Jax drives down the highway. I mean, they fly out, one at a time, it feels like it's on a loop. 6- Jax letting go of the handles and holding his arms out... c'mon! 7- the camera panning to the bread on the road with the blood trickling into the shot.... It's all so pretentious. It feels like Kurt thinks he's the greatest thing to happen to TV/film making. He thinks he's creating visual masterpiece. He's not. He's creating a bunch of eye roll worthy cliché moments. And of course, because not only does Kurt think HE'S the best thing to happen to TV, he also thinks this of his wife, so even with her character dead, he had to make sure we still saw her a few times in this episode, so she can have all 92 episodes on her resumé. Gemma in the body bag with the report on her chest before the bag gets zipped up was so unnecessary and, like almost every single scene and story involving Gemma, added nothing to the story. It would have been more effective to see Unser like that because of his innocence, how he just wanted to help, but all the Tellers did was just continuously screw him over. Seeing him being zipped up in a body bag would have pulled at all our heart strings.Or Juice! That would have been so sad, because we know Juice has no one. Ugh, that would have been heartbreaking! But no, Kurt needed to give his wife that screen time. Well, at least he didn't end the series with another one of Katey Sagals' songs. 3 stars because of the music. Excellent soundtrack
