Jimmy is in WAY over his head, and let the Manny thing go too long. Then he got some suspect advice and was too weak willed/dumb to go against it. I am looking forward to Richard Harrow paying ol Manya a visit. That should be good times.

I don't get why Jimmy was such a complete dick to the guy who ended up killing his wife. I hate what they are doing with Margaret, other than that the show has been great.
All I could get was that maybe he didn't like the guy from the get-go and once he had people starting to call him the King of Atlantic City (thanks to Nucky's abdication), he got the big head and didn't think he needed Manny. Nothing else makes any sense because otherwise, why the fuck would you make an enemy like that? Or maybe he didn't like him because he was Jewish and kept calling him "Boychik" to dick him down. |

That was definitely part of it....he hates being talked down to or patronized.

Well that was pretty ballsy.

That would have been a good series ending.

Yeah. I'm bummed, I thought Jimmy was the most interesting character on the show ... but it made sense and was a real gut-punch moment, great TV. This whole second season really impressed me. |

Not sure you were ever really supposed to be.

Jimmy could at least have killed his mother and saved his son from her. Since he already knew he was a dead man walking.
Nucky is a vindictive bastard, that much is clear for some time now.

I was pretty shocked, but going back through the episode it was foreshadowed pretty heavily. Jimmy was exhibiting a lot of signs of suicide victims- saying 'goodbye' to this son (and giving him the dog tags), extra money for Chalky's people, not wanting Richard to come...he knew what was coming and accepted it.

I'm torn on this one....Is she worse than being completely orphaned? Angie was already murdered.... |

If she gets him drunk and fucks him, then yeah, probably worse than being orphaned.

Yeah, I kept thinking there was no way they'd off Jimmy... and then... BAM. Nucky's final comment was fucking awesome. It explained the whole goddamn season in one sentence.

You guys do get what I am saying though, right?
Hey she's pretty hot, I'd be glad to fuck grandma.

I still hold the opinion that if Gretchen Mol had gotten naked a couple of times in Rounders, it would have been the perfect movie. Also would have made her character a lot more tolerable. Especially if she would have hooked up with Famke Janssen... |

So this ended a few weeks ago. I finally got around to binge watching the last 8 episodes. That was a really, really good ending and if you missed it, you should go watch it. The show definitely dragged a bit in S4, with the whole Chalky White storyline but it all ended very well. I must admit that each successive character death (whether I expected it or not) really made me sadder than I would have expected. This was one of those shows that got its hooks in me very subtly. I didn't think I'd miss it or care about the characters as much as I did.
The people they brought in for the last season to play the younger versions of established characters were eerily excellent. Hearing what might as well have been Dabney Coleman's voice out of a younger man was surreal.

I liked the first two seasons but when they killed off Jimmy I feel like it lost it's way. I can't remember where exactly I stopped watching; I remember Nucky getting nearly blown up. I guess I could wiki the interim and watch the last season.

I thought that the last season of Boardwalk Empire was ok but I enjoyed the second season of Peaky Blinders alot more when it came to gangster epics this fall.  |

How did I never heard about a gangster show starring Tom Hardy in 1919 Birmingham, England? That sounds right up my alley.

Just flew through all 5 seasons in the last few weeks. Best show I've seen since Sopranos, ending was perfect. All the younger versions were impressively cast and acted out.
