So any predictions on how it ends? My guess is that Jimmy's days are numbered.
- What, next week? No way. They already have a 3rd season lined up.CygnusZero4
- Spoilers >ukit2
- The rumor is that Jimmy dies, may or may not be trueukit2
- no, Jimmy has people looking out for him. he ain't going nowhere.sine
- margarate is loosing it, and will probably leave nucky and testifysine
- but nucky and jimmy are still the main characters in this story. we'll see them again...sine
- I don't think Jimmy will die. If he does he'll bring others with him.orrinward2
- His wife dying is lining up for retaliation.orrinward2

I guess anything is possible, but knowing they have another season lined up and how the entire show is based around Jimmy and Nucky, hard for me to believe anything major is happening to them this season.
If Nucky goes to prison, I guess the next season could pick up years later after his release, or someone does something to have him released. I dont know.
By the way the show is loosely based on the real Nucky. Not sure if everyone knew this already.

Nucky has opined more than once that Jimmy couldn't hack it at Princeton, suggesting that he caved to some sort of pressure.
Now we, the viewers, have more insight into the circumstances of his Army enlistment, his emotional damage and his violent temper.
If Nucky thinks that Jimmy's hopelessly in over his head, then Nucky won't see what I think's coming.

Wonder how extensive Martin Scorsese's role is in this series
- Doubt it's very much at all. At the beginning he was just a name to help promote it.CygnusZero4
- I disagree. A recent NPR segment stated this he continues to review and provide input on each episode.waterhouse
- The dude is neck deep in various projects a lot more high profile than this.CygnusZero4
- I seriously doubt he has a lot to do with this show. He isn't spending his days working on it.CygnusZero4

Scorsese directed the first episode... check this:
"The first episode, directed by Martin Scorsese, is the most expensive pilot episode produced in television history, with a final cost of $18 million."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boa…
"The production would eventually build a 300-foot-long (91 m) boardwalk in an empty lot in Brooklyn, New York at the cost of five million dollars. Despite a reported budget of up to $50 million, the pilot's final budget came in at $18 million."

Got this from ukit's link above: http://www.salon.com/2011/11/28/…
"A shocking twist highlights the drama's inability to make space for great female characters"
I was actually thinking the same thing. It seems like they're not sure what the hell to do with the female characters. They're all pretty interesting....just as intriguing as the men (in my opinion, anyway), but still...there's something missing. Like they're all ultimately ruined by what's going on around them.
- < Mainly for this season. There are still plenty of bad-ass moments from all characters.Jaline

He knew it was the end of the road for him though. No weapons, gave dogtags to his son, wouldnt let Richard come to also be killed, his mother even knew it. You could tell.

^ Yes. Is a 3rd season guaranteed? They killed of not only Jimmy, but his mom, the "masked sniper"... a lot of characters and relationships. To be honest Margarate's side of the script is boring, but they seem to be going in that direction. As good as Nucky/Buscemi is to watch, his character doesn't carry the show on it's onw, imo. (I'm such a geek, but I really liked this show so far.)
- Yep, confirmed.CygnusZero4
- Like Game of Thrones, they will find characters to put the show on after majors were killed off.CygnusZero4
- ok. well, i'll still be watching when it comes around.sine
- Jimmy's mother wasn't killed.CyBrainX
