i like the series, very much...but like this it can just last forever,it started about nucky, then capone, tomorrow after capone they can put another main protagonist...all these guys come in and out...i don't even know who's the main character...and where it ends...it seems as long as the series sells they will continue to make a new season, and ultimately destroy the series with quantity...one year gap, then 12 episodes and infinitely like that...where are the old times when we had series without a 1 year gap...it's already 4th year this thing goes on...i don't know what to think really...nothing solves...nothing really narrows...just seems that stuff gets more and more complex as it goes on...
- there was a lot of close, big characters die and now a big shift is about to happen for next season Capone for sure but Rothstein is lurking around74LEO

Also should note - Narcise is an incredible villain. Wright deserves serious accolades for his performance.

Best show. Just watched the season end. Wow. The fight scenes are like some Jason Bourne level intensity hah! Now we have to wait for the next season... ARRGGHH

A possible ending could be Nucky being sent to prison (which happened in real life), while Capone rises to officially become king of Chicago crime world. Showing the end of the politician/gangster that Nucky represented and empowerment of more brutal organized crime.

I think its only a matter of time till Masseria gets taken out. And when that happens there will be a big shift to New York for everyone.
Capone will want to expand now he has Chicago and reclaim his Brooklyn roots.
Nucky will be interested in New York as a business move but also in whats going on with Arnold Rothstein and Margret, as they might become involved with each other more.
How Narcisse and Chalky will play out I don't know, but it could somehow leave Nucky in a position to have dirt on Hoover which again, could give him more power and an upgrade to New York.
I don't know how Sally, Lucky and Meyer Lansky will come into things.
But eventually, Al will be the big boss everyone knew him as so there is still his big rise to happen yet.
- Masseria was a real person. The show does do a lot of filling in the blanks, but its not rewriting history.CygnusZero4
- Just need to read about Masseria to know how his story will end. HBO would not fuck with things like that.CygnusZero4

This show is great...but I can't help thinking there's a problem that shows like this run into, which that it's really hard to maintain a coherent story arc over multiple seasons. You saw this problem with Mad Men, which when it started seemed to be heading for a more interesting storyline than ever actually materialized.
So I'm still wondering if they will ever tie the various strands together in any coherent way. It almost doesn't matter since it's just entertaining on a basic level to watch the great art direction, set design, etc., and all the acting is top notch...but still.

^ Yes and no.
Eli is now on the run from them feds, and staying with Al Capone who is now running Chicago with his brother. Which means Eli will most probably do anything Al says, so him and Van Alden could become something interesting.
Dr Narcisse is working for Hoover to take down Garvey, which means Hoover will probably give him some leeway with a few things and possibly allow him to continue his drug business.
Chalky has lost everything after his daughter got shot, he will most probably go on a rampage for the Dr now. Which means a man with nothing to loose vs a federal informer.
And nothing has been said about how Joe Masseria will react to everything, but I'm sure Nucky won't have forgot how him and the Dr tried to take over his shit.
Its just put a lot of things in place for next season, which I would rather than Masseria, Narcisse, Eli etc get killed during Knox's meeting.
- I think Narcisse is out of the picture now. That was his comeuppance, basically becoming a slave to a white man.ukit2

What a great season ending. I like how nothing is really was resolved.

Fuck, gutted about Richard. I said to my gf as we just watched it 'its gonna show his face all normal'
Capone and Eli tho eh? They are going to be an interesting group with Van Alden

That finale was great. I felt this season was a little dull but the last couple episodes made up for it. Was Richard dead at the end? Why was his head still up?

That last minute was transcendent. A very strong example of something a 2 hour film could never make me feel.

Poor Richard, Should have smoked some weed first! That sucked! I thought he was gonna work for Nucky for awhile.

That last post is my prediction on the last episode this week, if it ended that way I wouldn't be mad.
Eli might die also I think, which will be a shame...he's a good character
- Eli is great but yeah I think Nucky will find him outRamanisky2
- Yeah Eli already slipped up when his wife spoke about the insurance guy. Surely Nucky can't kill him tho?sem
- I think he will try kill Knox at the last min and end up getting shot in a struggle. Then Nucky will go ape on Knox.sem
- close but nop.pango

This is my fav show, I never want it to end.
I'm fed the fuck up with SHIT on TV like reality shows, sitcoms etc getting all the funding. If this don't get AT LEAST another 2 seasons I'll never look at a TV ever again :P
Chalky comes to kill the Dr and Nucky, then Nucky explains whats happened so them two, Richard and a gang of goons finally go to war with Lucky, the Dr, Joe etc and on route get a call from Capone who has just killed Torio for trying to take him out but needs to leave Chicago for a while. Capone joins their side and they fuck the New York guys up.
Then the season ends with Nucky and Capone aware that New York is there for the taking, but neither wants to share, hinting them two go head to head next season where Nucky eventually dies two seasons after.
- You need a reality check man. Each episode only gets around a million viewers.CygnusZero4
- Its a great show but its not even close to as popular as the sopranos n that only lasted 6 seasons.CygnusZero4
- If next season is the last it wouldnt shock me at all.CygnusZero4

I like the attention to Chalkys story. The last episode was great. A lot of twists that weren't too over the top. Probably the best episode this season thus far.
