YesAnd from the link postedI need you to clarify something related to that, because I appear to have been profoundly wrong on this: is Chalky illiterate? Yes. Okay. So why does his wife give him the book? They're pretending to not know that he is. They go along with the fiction that he doesn't like to read, in interest in helping keep his dignity there, they're all pretending.'simmonjm said:
Good stuff here:
Like what?
General gangster ####.
Mine was upset too but because in the end she felt bad for Jimmy. He never had a chance and was like Nucky's son. She thought Nuck should have forgiven him and understood what was truly behind Jimmy's actions. I'm on the fence. I liked Jimmy generally and could tell he was conflicted. I wanted Nucky to forgive him and take him back under his wing. But can you forgive somebody who tried to ruin you and murder you? Even if its your son? Probably not.My girlfriend is very upset right now. Her quote was "how can they kill off the hottest guy on the show"
I think this is why I knew, even last year, that Jimmy just wouldnt last. It's disappointing to me mainly because you know what happens to pretty much everyone else in the show if you follow this type of history. Jimmy was the variable that kept me interested.
Which is why I cant understand how he can keep Eli around too...Mine was upset too but because in the end she felt bad for Jimmy. He never had a chance and was like Nucky's son.

Maybe he felt more betrayed by Jimmy? Nucky and Eli have a different relationship and the ultimate decision was Jimmy's to make I guess, although he sure let everybody influence the #### out of him while he "ruled"Which is why I cant understand how he can keep Eli around too...Mine was upset too but because in the end she felt bad for Jimmy.

Plus he went unarmmed, he definitely knew.

I think most agree on this. The question is, will the story be better or worse for it in the end?
Yea, I think it is realistic. I had a feeling for a few weeks that he might get killed off. Me and my finance were talking about it: how the story really was playing out fully and that because he wasn't a real person but the others were that it was possible. I didn't know for sure though until those dog-tags but I still was hoping Nuck would turn around and shoot Manny. I can't understand a word Manny says 80% of the time. I hope Manny and Capone have more interaction . . . I think it's cool that former Capone TV actor can deal with the new Capone.
Song of Angels? She's On Acid? Slings of Arrows? Sand over Ashes?
Certainly. They've killed off the most intriguing character. The show will need some fresh characters and storylines to make up for this choice.
Speaking of Manny, he's scary.
Game of Thrones was ballsier.
Nope. Just moved his nanny and him to the midwest.
When he asked about the will going to his son after going to him? He wanted to make sure his kid was okay, but he left him with his mom. You owed the kid more than that Jimmy geez.
Nope. Just moved his nanny and him to the midwest.
I think it's somewhat precedented* by Game of Thrones.Edit: Leeroy Jenkins beat me.
FWIW: There are rumors all over the innerwebs that Michael Pitt is extremely difficult to work with.If true, that would make the writers' decision a lot easier.
Disagree... There were/are plenty of other intriguing enough characters on GOT to fill the void.
Terence Winter: How would you feel if Michael Pitt were no longer amongst the cast members?Steve Buscemi: If Michael Pitt were no longer amonst the cast members . . . then I would have no opinion on the matter one way or the other.Terence Winter: Well then, it looks like I have a decision to make.
I thought a lot about that scene after the fact and it's VERY heartbreaking...even more so if you have kids IMHO
Or ponies.
Boardwalk Empire has plenty of intriguing characters I wouldn't mind seeing more of. Especially Rothstein and Capone.
Maybe he goes back to the woods again?I really have no idea but it wouldnt shock me if we just didnt see him again
My only issue with that is 99% of the viewing audience knows what happens to these guys already. Of course that's if they follow the real life path.
Quite true, but I thought (Game of Thrones spoiler...)
I see what you did there MT
Great season with plenty of interesting places to go in future episodes.
My wife was shaken last night by Jimmy getting killed. She hasn't watched Game of Thrones yet. I think she'll be 5x as shocked when she does.
I watched the first episode On Demand. It wasn't bad but I'm just not much of a D&D type of guy. Some smokin' hot chicks though.
Don't let a spoiler ruin your shot at watching a fantastic series.
I think that their best path would be to deviate from history with the historical characters. It probably would best be used if they appeared to stay historically true as they focus more on Capone in particular. And then they pull a Jimmy on Al and stun everybody. Of course, while Capone would have the biggest impact, one of the New York guys would probably be much easier to work into the every episode story line.
