I'm sure people will come in to tune in to see the last episode but I really wonder what is the point? If I didn't watch the previous seasons I imagine I would be totally lost watching this. Nearly all the characters have been slowly fleshed out that I wonder someone just coming in would have any idea what is going on. They NAILED young Eli though. Thinking of the previous confusion of Shea Whigham/Mark Borkowski, Paul Sagorsky is pretty much future Eli.

Wirth1000 posted:I can't loving believe Mickey Doyle has outlived all these people so far. Mickey Doyle will not only outlive them all, in a time-skip he'll inexplicably become mayor of Atlantic City. I really expected him to die in the first and second episode of the series. Gonz posted:Instead of an old timey song over the credits, it'll just be his "mehh ehhhe hhehheh hehehmeheheh" for 30 seconds. Or it's the "mehh ehhhe hhehheh" over a black screen for 30 seconds, then the credits roll without music. But then right before the credits end his mehh-ing starts up again. If I had editing software, time, patience, and focus, I'd edit together every skeevy laugh of his from the whole show.

If everything else goes horribly to poo poo and everyone else ends up dead, I will still consider it a happy ending if Mickey Doyle lives. Extra points if the show ends on either a "nyahahahah" or a flashforward to the present day, where an alive and well elderly Mickey Doyle says "...and that's why we called it... The Boardwalk Empire." Or both. Actually just both.

Why do I have this sinking feeling that Nucky finally feels remorseful enough and visits Gillian to get her out of there. Only to get to her after she's just been lobotomized(or something more awful).

Also, I just remembered that while murdering Sebso was wrong, our man Nelson was 100% right about him killing the prisoner.

That reminded me of AR's insurance policy on Mickey, does Nucky still have that? That season one finale clip made me a bit sad about some of the great characters we've lost throughout. Looking forward to the final two episodes, this show has been too good at surprising me for me to accurately predict what's going to happen.

Sometimes I think about rewatching the entire series before watching the next 2 episodes. How I wish I had the time to do that. It's that or rewatching the series after it ends. You can't often say this, but this show's final season has been its absolute greatest. I think only Breaking Bad came as close to this as Boardwalk Empire.

It'd be hilarious if Nucky is on his last financial ropes after losing the Bacardi money and Prohibition ending, then he gets a windfall because Mickey dies and he gets a big payout. And maybe Margaret throws him a cut of her new investments. I imagine that Prohibition ending caused a lot of the gangsters to lose a ton of income during the Depression. In such a scenario, Nucky could be the last man standing, or at least well off enough that Luciano and the rest would have to leave him alone till they regrouped.

PostNouveau posted:I feel like this kid is either Tommy Dormandy or a Luciano agent, and he will end up killing Nucky or Margaret. The series is going to end with this kid killing Nucky. The whole time the showrunners are trying to fake the audiences out into thinking its Tommy Darmody. Them, at the end, right before he pulls the trigger on Nucky, he says "My father was right all along. You need to be taken out. I'm getting revenge for you screwing him over." Nucky looks at him, resigned. "So, you must be Tommy." The kid looks at him, puzzled. "Who the hell is Tommy? No, you screwed my father out of a lucrative business deal, and I'm here for revenge...my name...is Jack Kennedy." Gunshot, fade to black, end of series.

That'd be great if it was Nucky who backed out of the deal instead of Joe Kennedy doing it while flirting with his (estranged) wife in front of him.

HBO Signature ran every season, front to back, for the five Saturdays leading up to this year's premiere. I didn't mean to, and I never watched an entire run, but every Saturday I definitely got sucked into sitting through at least 6 episodes. This is definitely a show that holds up to (And, in some ways, benefits from) marathon viewing.

I'm hoping that Eli gets a hero moment in one of these episodes. Like Nucky is about to get got then Eli busts through the wall riding a backhoe and dumps a bunch of booze onto Luciano and his crew, drunkenly slurring "let's get the hell out of here brother!"bbf2 posted:The series is going to end with this kid killing Nucky.

And in turn, Teddie gets his revenge on a cold day in November. History rhymes, the clues are all there. ParliamentOfDogs fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Oct 19, 2014 |

The kid is actually JFK, working deep cover for Joe Kennedy's Goon Squad. JFK will murder Nucky with Richard Harrow's sniper rifle from the window of an Atlantic City book depository.

I loved how even in his shipwreck of a state, Eli was clearheaded enough to blame Ness for the heist, and not the actual Fed who had just iced Van Alden.
