Yeah, they are setting up Rothstein's ultimate fate well if they end up projecting that far into the future.
The problem with this series is that pretty much every subplot is more interesting than that of Nucky and his family. Capone's in particular is about to blow up (literally) in Chicago. They could dedicate the entire next season to the Moran/Capone war and never come back to effing New Jersey.
I really like Nucky and Eli when they are getting along; I like that while all is breaking loose elsewhere, they aren't doing much and still always end up on top. With the exception of the totally worthless Gillian and the new guy subplot, everything else that is going on is pretty good.
Everything is just taking too long. A sop of Richard destroying another camp of people is coming, I guess. Not that I mind, it's just the show is moving glacially.
Yes it is moving slow. Glad to see Gillian get hers finally, hopefully we never have to see her again. Not sure about this whole Chalky thing, it's like when Nukky got infatuated with that actress and started doing lame . I'm looking forward to what Eli is going to pull in this "meeting", hopefully it'll end up with the death of that smarmy agent. And I'd like lots more Richard and Mueller/Van Alden before this season ends---but every season so far hasn't given me enough of them.
Yes it's slow but still a good show.
Looks like there are going to be multiple bloodbaths. I don't know if they are going to shoehorn in the looming Chicago hit with all the goings on in the East, but it would be cool to introduce Bugs Moran as the new nemesis before next season and see Zod's continuing role out there..
Decent tension buildup to the Chalky/Nucky and Eli/Knox confrontations.
It might be cool to see Gillian in pure survival mode again. It's the only time she's really interesting.
Damn, I want more Lou Gossett somewhere on some show. He was fantastic.
Does anyone have a running body count for Richard? Might need updating.
And what about Mueller/VanAlden? That guy has quietly offed a bunch of low-lifes this season.
I'm with you on this. I want the son er gone, tired of seeing her and she jumped the shark already. In fact, I want to see Capone. Don't care for Nucky much, but Chalky is interesting. I want to see the fancy Libyan get his throat cut. I was hoping Chalky would kill the girl because she's damaged goods plus he's got a family and a business to run. I want to see Nucky kill his bas brother who's ratted him out after trying to kill him once before. Dude needs to die already.
There's no enough killing of annoying people. I new BF was an agent, and I knew it was a setup to get her to confess. That was telegraphed.
I would keep a count how many people got killed while Zod cowered in fear or stood with mouth agape too. He's such a weird pussy half the time til something makes him hulk out.
pretty intense finale. the big fight scene had me at the edge of my seat.
Good episode, with some great performances as always, but my reasons for watching this show shrunk by one.
Dammit.
Oh Richard
Damn I thought Eli was going to saw that smarmy agents neck!
Lots of random thoughts coming to me after last night.....Was that Margaret and her weenie kids with Arnold Rothstein?! Damn, Nucky was badass in that meeting with Narcisse. I guess we are stuck with Gillian for the long haul; I can see it as she was Nucky's introduction to the gangster life. Chicago will be epic with Torrio passing the torch to Capone---the best of Van Alden is yet to come. I love Eli. I'm so glad he killed that agent in that great fight----what an intense fight, even better than when Chalky killed that other guy (forgot his name); LOVED Eli's expression seeing Van Alden again at the end. And Richard. Damn he was beautiful in that scene going homeI guess you just can't be a cold hearted killing machine and then get to live happily ever after
So mask man is dead?
Yup
And that Gillian is still alive?
Unfortunately.
Well that sucks. Maybe her grandson will kill her.
Well this show certainly isn't afraid to kill of popular characters.
I'm sure they liked Narcisse enough to keep him on another season, and Chalky in exile has a lot of promise. Pretty sloppy ignoring virtually all the other east coast mob characters in a season finale, but good episode otherwise.
Same fate though kinda.
Prison in the 1920s=death lol
ChumpDumper there is a clip on youtube about Richard's kills. 77 I believe.
I'll post the vid tomorrow, err later today when I get on my home pc.
just started watching this along with deadwood.
Bumping this for the new season...
Anyone still watching?
I thought the premiere was good but slow. I'm having a hard time anticipating how they are going to handle the events we missed in the 6 or 7 years since last season AND tie up so many loose ends with so many main characters still around, in just 8 episodes. Things will have to start moving pretty fast to get it all covered.
