It's all about the inches
Think he died breh.
Im confused about some sh1t about Capone. Apparently he was kinda soft in prison. Was that his illness or was he just soft w/o all the power?
Then, his son was born with syphilis, but later cured. But I never read anything about his wife having it
she lived till she was damn near 90

A silent witness to all this trolling going on.
I guess Jimmy Jr. didn't kill Nucky when he was KO because he waited the OK from Gillian. Maybe if Nucky would've helped her

Probably drunk
The only person that could tell him that was in a nut house, asking me to believe that letters from some woman in a nut house would be enough to turn a teenage kid into a vengeful killer is too much and like others pointed out why didn't he killed him in the alley when they were alone?

Finally caught up last night. Was very surprised at what happened to nucky.
Also the lucky storyline played out just the way I thought it would.
Personally, I liked the second to last episode best. But they summed everything up pretty well.
Nucky wasnt built for eat. He wasn't even a gangster like that. Also doyle finally got shut up.

Organize the non obvious
The writing and acting humanizes a malicious Mob Boss SUCCINCTLY. A different creative team would've fukked this up
. Any premise for a season in Boardwalk Universe would be extremely difficult to shoot while pleasing everyone.They were juggling like 8 story lines, different States in the U.S and trying to blend history and fiction. There's plenty of brilliant small decisions the series made that still get the 
reaction.
tommy killing nucky was absolute trash.
when the show starts, tommy is 3 years old.
even if 3 years pass and tommy is 6 when harrow dies and he goes away, that makes him 13 this season.
also, how the fukk does tommy just happen to be there when doyle is looking for workers? he just happens to be with homeless guys waiting for the off chance that the mob comes hiring?
it would have made more sense if they had casted a 13 year old kid and have him approach nucky to work for him. use that to parallel nucky's flashback of wanting a chance to work with the commodore. have the kid doing odd jobs while nucky remembers his time as a kid. then, have the 13 year old shoot nucky when nucky figures out who he is somehow. maybe he asks the kid about his parents and the kid reveals his dad's name was jimmy darmody.
that also would have made it more of a surprise because u dont expect a kid to shoot nucky. instead, as soon as doyle hired that kid everybody suspected that it was tommy.
they rushed thru this season so much they fukked that arc up.

I liked the Tommy arc and I don't mind him killing Nucky...His intent at first wasn't to kill Nucky, he wanted to get to know him and Nucky confirmed everything Gillian told Tommy about him...Hence his decision to kill Nucky...I'm cool with that, its a logical ending to this fictional character...My issue with the Tommy arc as well as this season as a whole is that it felt very rushed...I have never seen a show with such stellar acting and writing get done so dirty like this...Tommy's age this season doesn't even make sense (he should be no older than 15 based off the timeline established in season 4)...and like somebody else said how did he know Doyle would be coming around to hire goons? Add to that it was very obvious who that kid was and you have a very messy ending to a great show...They could of handled this much better if they had more time...
He didn't even have to kill Nucky. He could have just killed someone else or did any other despicable life changing act (parallel it with Young Nuck pimping Gillian) and then revealed to Nucky he is Tommy Darmody. Nuck realizes his actions have ruined 3 generations of a family. Nuck realizes money doesn't fix everything. Nuck realizes he has no legacy. Nuck realizes he doesn't matter. Nuck realizes none of it meant anything. Fade to black.
