He was just a hot headed punk who tried to go at a boss and got shown why he's an employee. Harrow is a beast. Nucky should leave Margret's ? ass alone. I wonder if next season Eli is going to be more out front with the gangster ? and Nucky's character is going to be more like the real history and not involve himself with the day to day operations. Best season finale in a long time.
i think nucky has transformed into gangster. either on the day to day level or on the high up level. probably the latter. but it seems he realizes he can't be half way involved in both lives, he's got to be one or the other, and he probabaly wont hold office again, so yeah, i think he is gonna be about that life.... and nobody give me a damn history lesson either...
but damnit nucky, when eddie comes back treat that man with some damn respect
Sorry, but here goes your history lesson. In real life Nucky stayed away from all the gangster ? and ran the political side. That's how he stayed alive for so long. You don't have to worry because this series is very much fictional, so anything can happen.
yeah i don't mean he will necessarily become a ganster in the al capone sense. but i don't think he will go back to holding office either. I'm guessing his intentions at the start of the next season will be to stay out of the public eye, but still maintain his control over the city. which will require a bit more gangsterism. especially if he signs Harrow to a contract -

Now with the setup Rothstein did on Lucky and Meyer, I think it's the perfect time to introduce people to Salavtore Maranzano -- setting up the Castallammarese War (if they do it in later season after Season 4, or if there is a spin off starting with that war to show the real rise of Lucky/Meyer/Bugsy)
-
Luciano's rant about it all bein his idea n him bein out in the world was CLASSIC. almost as CLASSIC as Rothstein's reaction. dude was like "whatever ? ."
I cant front tho. Gyp changin his voice tripped me out. ? reminded me of them old time cartoons where the bad guy is defeated. then he turns into a lil ? witha baby voice. cuz he was actin all along. -

you gotta remember that the show is about Nucky and Atlantic City. so i really doubt they spend any significant time showing warring crime families in New York. Just as they don't show a bunch of other stuff that Al Capone does and probably won't show stuff that Lucky Luciano will do. All of that stuff is only relevant to the point that it directly effects Nucky and his business. -

I'm waiting to see a young Frank Costello make an appearance. He got the Tammany Hall connects after Rothstein was killed. -

They haven't even shown Al Capone's brother yet, and he got killed in Cieero. -

but why would they show al capone's brothers death? its pretty irrelevant to the show. i mean they might work it in there somehow. maybe to foreshadow something with Eli? But unless the writers tie it into the plot somehow, i don't know why they would mention it. -

there is a better gif out there of Chalky with his set up, in the brawl scene

Very satisfying finale to a season, while others may not agree, i enjoyed. even if we didnt to get to van alden. but seeing how they will focus on the chicago wars next season im sure we'll see much more of him in cicero
i like the screen pairing of chalky and capone. while it showed they had differences in the beginning later it also showed us they can partner up when they offed masseria's men
we're showed how demented gillian is yet again when she talked about the commodore ? her while she was in a drugged up haze. and, while she's not my least favorite female character, i would be happier if she had limited screen time to focus on more interesting characters.
which brings me to my next point of who i think the most useless, disposable, female character in the show really is: margaret. every time a scene included her, the series came to a screeching halt and it painfully dragged. as much as i dislike gillian's character and thinks she has issues, i dont feel like the series drags when she's on screen. like when she was seducing gyp. margaret on the other hand serves no purpose for being on the show at all. im glad she rejected the money offered to her at the end by nucky. hopefully that means she stays in brooklyn and her character is written off like the useless ? ? that she is
Its funny how rothstein's character included the domino effect. he thought he was slick when he set up lucky and meyer's characters with the faux policeman. but he himself got ? over as well from nucky when he tried to take over the distillery in exchange for pulling some of masseria's men. i knew nucky wasnt going to forget rothestein abandoning him earlier in the season because he in turn got means and mellon and arrest everybody working there.
richard harrow is a bad ? . i called a a few seasons back. his accuracy is precise and he cant be ? with. but as always with his character i knew he wouldnt find true happiness. excited to see where his character goes next season.
the way gyp went out was anti-climactic but it was honestly one of the few ways it couldve panned out. its only appropriate that tonnio would be the guy to take him down. seeing as how he had to witness gyp savagely murdering his cousion a few episodes back. and im sure many expected him to die in some epic gunfire battle so in a way it kind of went against the grain in that regard too.
but as i said earlier, i really enjoyed this season. i didnt mind the slow episodes at all. i think wehn one views this season as a whole it actaully plays out very good -
Gyp went out like the lunatic he is.

that might be true about Nucky and AC, but still that Masseria-Marazano beef will effect Nuck and AC .... and like one of the other posters said ..we will see Frank Costello who is basically the Italian version of Nucky and Lefty (the real "Ace" of the movie Casino)
On the Chicago side, I wonder if they will show "Curly" -- this dude was Meyer's peer and equal on the Chicago side.
Curly:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Humphreys
Also read the book on "The Outfit" -- the nearly entire history of Torrio, Capone, Curly, Accardo, Moony -- I just finish the hardcover and the book was absolute nuts and made understand Torrio and Capone better:
*will post link for ebook when i find it* -

Check out "Family Secrets" (on the trial of the Chicago Outfit -- goes in depth of Spiltro's killin --"cornfield killings in Casino" )
Let's be serious, I know alot of ya'll ? fronting, you probably read as much or more than I do. And plus that book explains alot more about Capone...and some surprising thing on the way they "fixed" the elections (especially of JFK)....
