I think Chalky dies, Nucky ends up killing his own brother at the end Jimmy style or making his own son do it to prove himself, Dr. Narcisse dies, and Jillian commits suicide before going to prison.

 

Thoughts?

It's possible they could leave it in a cliffhanger and resolve nothing.   I would guess Chalky will die. Being brought down by or because of a woman is a very old plot device.

 

I don't think Nucky would kill his own brother.   My wild guess is that Eli kills Knox. 

 

My favorite character on that show was Gyp Rosetti.  What a character.  I was sorry to see him go.

Any of that would of been better, some finale, only one story line concluded.  Two of the three deaths were pretty good.

Nailed it!   Eli killed  Knox.

Interesting how they finished up with 15 second flashes of all the main and not-so-main characters.


I'm still trying to figure out how Margaret and Arnold Rothstein fit into anything at this point.


I knew somebody had to bump off Knox at some point. Good call on who.


Was really surprised they killed Chalky's daughter.


Should be an interesting season next year.

I know they (very loosely) stick to history when it comes to actual historical characters, like Nucky, Rothstein, Luciano, Lansky, Capone, etc.

 

Rothstein was killed in 1928.  I don't think the show is quite up to that year yet. 

 

One of my favorite characters is Van Alden.   He is such a tortured soul.   Here's one of my favorite scenes of his:

I thought it was interesting that he was the one that came to pick Eli up. Van Alden is definitely an interesting character. Straight-laced yet still a whacko. He gives my wife the creeps.


We have a guy in our mixed bowling league that looks eerily like Van Alden.


I'm wondering how big of a part Eli's son will play next year.


My least favorite part about the show is that the 'season' is only 10 weeks.

That threw me, too, until I realized, Nucky had to call someone from out of town to pick up Eli, so he called Capone who sent Van Alden.  

 

Michael Shannon recently did a movie called The Iceman.   He got really good reviews for it.  But I haven't seen it yet.
