well, by the end of the first season I feel Jax is just beginning to struggle with what his father wanted for the club and his own son(Jax). Clay is still the leader of the club by the end of the season. So if you were thinking that Michael Corleone and Jax Teller were similar while watching season 1 of this show you have my admiration for making this connection so early. I just feel this last episode really was well written and well done.

On wikipedia it's said that Kurt Sutter is in talks with FX to make a prequel series that would take place in the 1960's.
