Why did that guy shoot himself in the head? He should have shot the fat guy first. And why did he so paranoid he had to burn his money in public, so contrived.

I feel like this season has gotten better as it's gone along; still though there's TOO MANY PLOTS AT ONCE. I get that bootlegging was complex, but it's weird when you don't see anything from Chicago for 3 episodes..then all of a sudden it's back in this episode, then may disappear again for who knows how many.

Well the plotline of Owen and Margaret planning on leaving together is done Or maybe not, she's preggers... so the legacy of Owen lives on.

The actress is gone, and I'm not missing her, pig nose and flat chest, not sure why Nuck was so hung up on her in the first place.

WTF did they send Owen into a bath house to kill a boss? Stupid. They need to start utilizing the fucking sniper. Kill him from 900 yards while he's lawn bowling.

And WTF is Eli doing at the moment other than standing around? Put his ass to work too, team him up with Chalky's crew and make something happen in Tabor heights.

He thought he was done for as the only person that was going to keep him out of prison was Daugherty, and he sent the guy attempting to kill him. Means told him to go burn the money out back, Smith the guy in question wasn't that smart so he just went along with what was asked of him, including dying it seems.

Well the plotline of Owen and Margaret planning on leaving together is done Or maybe not, she's preggers... so the legacy of Owen lives on.

I'm sure the plotline will drag on and on as we get to watch her be pregnant. I'm sure it'll be very heavy with life lessons on how rough it was for women to be with child back then.

The actress is gone, and I'm not missing her, pig nose and flat chest, not sure why Nuck was so hung up on her in the first place.

It was a different time, taste in women were completely different. She was a lot better than Margaret IMHO.

WTF did they send Owen into a bath house to kill a boss? Stupid. They need to start utilizing the fucking sniper. Kill him from 900 yards while he's lawn bowling.

Harrow (the sniper in question) isn't in play for anyone at this point. He's kind of spinning in the wind. I expect him to join Nucky though, but I could be wrong as this show doesn't seem to tie up lose plots. As for sending Owen, it was suppose to be a quiet unexpected hit. Owen was the best Nucky had, so it made sense that he sent him. If Massaria didn't know Nucky was about to make a move I'm pretty sure Owen would have been successful as he was the token bad ass guy.

And WTF is Eli doing at the moment other than standing around? Put his ass to work too, team him up with Chalky's crew and make something happen in Tabor heights.

Eli is pretty worthless, but he did get sent to Chicago to enlist Torrio to help with the war. Chalky hasn't been talked to I guess because he's black. As the show likes to remind us how bad racial things were back then, I'm assuming that's why he Chalky hasn't been used. The previews for next week show him in play though.

In the HBO Go extras, the director (writer/producer?) said that the guy died under mysterious circumstances in real life. They were speculating on his death as a plot point.

Well finally, next week is a HAVE to watch show.

Sniper getting all his guns together including his sniper rifle (haven't seen that in a long time) and AL Capone has come to town with an army.

It's going to be great even if I am disappointed with the show in general.

that was crazy. also:

"dreaming about things that cannot possibly come to pass; that were never yours to begin with"

"i have to remind myself, you're not really a complete person"

what a fuckin' bitch. i wouldn't blame him if he killed her too along with all of gyp's guys.



i have no idea where this fed/luciano thing is going

Just watched yesterday's ep - so next week is the season finale?

I think Richard is too smart and cares too much about the boy to start a firefight in the brothel. He'll pack up and make things interesting. I don't care what happens, I just hope Gillian's ending is deserving of her twisted and sick ways.

As for Nucky's new army...I figured that Capone would be the one to come as he's too big of a name for the writers to continue on w/o utilizing him. And they've shown that he's just as hot headed as Rosetti if maybe not nearly as psychopathic.

Yep, can't wait to see who Richard goes after next week, although I won't be surprised if he does nothing. The teases are usually misleading. :biggrin:

I can't understand why Gillian kicked Richard out like that, basically for nothing. I thought I must have missed something, did they plot that plan to get Richard out of the house and past the goons so he could come back with his guns? If so I missed that, what I saw looked extremely contrived.

Richard was taking the kid (Jimmy's kid) out of the house against Gillian's orders. I really think Gillian was trying to keep the kid from seeing all the shit that was going on in the house, but when Richard decided to get the kid out of there and Gillian in her psycho paranoid way saw this as disobeying her and told Richard to get out.

I thought it had more to do with her paranoid fear that Richard was going to take the boy away from her, as if the life he was building with whatshername was going to cut her out. I can't help but hope he kills her, I can't stand her character. Interestingly enough with him off the bench, Gyp now is going to be fighting a battle on two sides because of her.


Of course the amazing thing is I was about to drop this show then suddenly it's the most interesting thing on Sunday nights. HTF that happen?

Horrible writing for the first several episodes, plus each episode had about 30% of the airtime a waste with Margaret's hospital thing. Notice how as soon as that drops out of the episodes, the show improves?

Hey now.. I keep hearing there's a war on women every time I turn on the TV, so it's very important we know.. uh... something about what they no longer go through..

See I've been waiting for Richard to freak out for a long time (secretly hoping he would kill the entire cast and the show cancelled) but I thought what would set him off would be Gyp messing with his new girl friend.

Remember that lady that painted a picture of him? he waited and killed the butcher, shot gun to the face, so he takes these things personally. But now he's in love (also sort of contrived) and it looks like he's freaking out because he was fired and insulted...lame.


But right from the very beginning of this show, I thought it should be about New York vs Al Capone Chicago but I guess they are trying to copy New Jersey Sopranos.

If Gyp stole his girlfriend with dog collar like that waitress, that would be a good reason to go postal.

Who would want Luciano out of the way?

Here's a spoiler that actually is the real thing that happened in real life history:
Luciano killed Masseria in real life so I am guessing Masseria didn't want to be involved in Lucianos deal so he tipped the narcs

Holy shit Richard is a bad ass.

For reals - They did nothing really interesting with him all season (basically just babysitting duty) but it was all a buildup to this episode. That was awesome. Great character. And if you drink Guiness Black, you too can be like him!

Nucky's just too fucking smart. People have to learn to stop trying to fuck him over at some point. Eli coming back as a good guy was pretty surprising. A great season and an all time great season finale. Still not sure how they knew exactly where Owen was going to go after Joe Messia (or whatever his name is) a few episodes back, I guess Luciano's tip just had them on their toes
