In the end Nucky comes out on top – he always does – but at what price?
Was it all worth it?
Hit the jump for why itwasworth it – for us at least – sticking around for this final hour.
Harrow then saves Tommy and delivers him to Julia, whose father is not only sober but understanding!
Did it make a lot of sense?
It was brutal, but the marriage of a swirling camera and splatter-cinema effects was strangely intoxicating.
What could be more satisfying than that?
Yet what of Van Alden?
Have we forgotten all about our poor iron-wielding friend?
So what will Nucky do next?
This season has all been about stripping Nucky down as a man alone, a man apart.
Do things continue for him as was?
Are we starting to care again?
In hindsight,Boardwalk’s third season will probably make for a great re-watch.
For that, perhaps, things have been worth it.
Nucky can’t escape Atlantic City, and maybe neither can we.
She’s lost her lover, her baby, her husband, her money and her home.
What’s next for Margaret may be even more interesting than Nucky.
She has no friends, no one to talk to.
Owen was her only outlet.
Watching him transform has been fantastic.
– Well Gillian lives.
And that time you slept with your son.
– Richard Fucking Harrow, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank god for him.
– Micky Doyle: “Am I disturbing you?”
Rothstein: “Yes.”
– When did Eli become good lookin'?
– I could have sworn Rosetti was singing about Honey Boo Boo.
So glad to be rid of him.
So, so glad.
