I knew something would happen with Harrow. It's been building up for a while. So, what happens with Agent Van Alden? Something big will happen with him next season. And Lucky Luciano too. I think he'll take a more prominant role in the story next season too. He's been putting in his time. His character (who was a realy gangster, by the way) is ready to take a step forward and become a big time player.....IMHO.

I think Luciano will take over the power vacuum left over after Rothstein is arrested. I thought the scene in Rothstein's office was great and I love how calculating Meyer Lansky is too, guys kind of creepy but very intelligent.

Question...how/why did Eli take it upon himself to hook up with Al Capone in the first place? Also why did Capone/Chalky take out Masseria's men?

Someone mentioned it above, but the line at the end of the 2nd to last episode was awesome.

I agree. "Lucky" Luciano will become a much bigger player in some way next season. I don't know how, but he will. And we will probably find out how he gets the name "Lucky".

Maybe there is more to it, but Eli hooked up with Al Capone out of necessity. Just like Mickey Doyle took it upon himself to call Rothstein.

They took out Masseria's men because they could. They killed three birds with one stone that day. They weakened Masseria and sent him a messasge too.

One of the best closing lines ever......

I'm thinking Nucky told Mickey to call Rothstein.
The play within the play, that's the thing.

I thought so too, because when Nucky hung up he said "A big piece of bait, will catch a big mouse".

I don't think Doyle took it upon himself. Nucky told him to. After Nucky got off the phone with Rothstein when Rothstein offered to help for a stake in the distillery, he said something about taking the bait. I took that to mean he had Doyle make the call and act like he was doing it on his own.

I believe every woman on this show has shown her tits.
I think it's mandatory.

I should probably go back and watch every episode again just to be sure.

We brought this up before. Kelly McDonald, I think, is the notable holdout.

Nope, she showed them when she first started boning Nucky.

I'm pretty sure that was a body double.

I'd look it up but I'm at work.

That may be true, but she's gotten naked in other movies she's done. All of Nucky's other GFs have flashed some. The chick that Nelson knocked up and the actress chick that got blown up; Jimmy's mom that runs the whorehouse, Nelson's new wifey, the prosecutor chick, Jimmy's lesbo wife, The slashed face prostitute that Jimmy was hanging out with; Owen's first GF -the Thompson's maid-, The chick that was choking the gangster, there's been of bunch of boobage in this series.

I do miss Paz De La Huerta's in particular, and she has a great merkin.

This season was amazing.. the closer was a slight drop off from the 2 previous episodes, but this is probably my favorite show of all time, and was a welcome addition to the painful Chiefs Sundays endured this year.

Sopranos was great but I prefer the historic vibe of BE... they do a fantastic job with the look/production of this show. Most of the same people worked on both shows, and they are definitely the best in the business and have a uniquely balls-out writing style.

I think Van Alden will surely become absorbed into the Chicago gangland... the little grin he showed when he had those people terrified behind the glass was awesome and I can see him becoming more comfortable with his aggressive side and making a fine henchman.

Harrow is a warrior.. I think it was easy to know what he was going to do but it was refreshing to finally see it go down (was hoping he'd kill Gillian also). He's my favorite character simply from a mystique/ standpoint... no telling what is in his future. He's a killing machine though and I'm sure Nucky will find out about his rampage and tap him for something.

I always thought Nucky's assistant Eddie would end up saving his life by killing an assassin while hiding in the curtains or something, but he totally didn't.. I guess there's still time for that.

Doyle has 9 lives for sure, hoping he gets taken out season 4 ep 1, but will probably make it the whole way as a dumb-luck character.

Ol' Barney Google could've gone out in a flashier way lol... but I'll take it. Awesome one-shot character.

Esther Randolph will do much more running naked through the pages of the US criminal code..

Lucciano should start to become the big cheese at some point after he takes out Masseria, along with a bigger role for Bugsy Siegel.

Can't wait to go back and watch them all in order! I bet it kills at all the awards shows.

Epic.

I don't think the finale was a drop off, just a good progression through the end of the season.

The Sopranos is still #1, but B.E. is a close 2nd.

Something big will happen with Van Alden. Mentally, he seems to be on the razor's edge. I think he could snap and horrible violence could ensue.

Harrow could remain a free agent. But, I think he'll hook up with Nucky. Either way, his body count of 63, which went up to 71 (by my count), will continue to rise next season. He is one of my favorite characters too. I hope things work out between him and that woman, but it probably won't.

Eddie did save Nucky's life, didn't he? Didn't he shout "Nucky!" and when Nucky turned around Eddie had shot a guy coming through the door? Am I remembering that correctly?

I can't stand Mickey Doyle. But, he does add comic relief. He will probably last thru the final episode of the final season.

Bugsy Siegel? You think they will introduce a new character next season? Wasn't Bugsy Siegel involved in the founding of Las Vegas? Was he an east coast gangster?
