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?

Yes, he did warn Nucky that someone else was coming through the door. I believe that is the bullet that got him.

Actually, Bugsy has been introduced already. He works with Luciano and Lansky running Heroin. Masseria sends guys to beat Siegel outside of Lucky Luciano's place. Lansky shoots the guy in the head and Siegel runs after the car shooting at it and vowing to kill them.

Then he wants a bigger role afterwards and Lansky says no.

Who knows what they'll do with these characters. I love Al Capone, Chalky and Richard Harrow. I am hoping that Margeret is out of the picture now, because the who dynamic between her and Nucky was a weak part of the storyline I thought.

I'll kind of miss Rosetti though, he was a friggin nutbag, but was hell of a good character.

OK! I didn't even think about that. So, HE is Bugsy Siegel. Cool.

I'm glad Rosettie is dead. He drove me nuts. I didn't like him at all.

Margaret will be back. Nucky needs a love interest and family.

The peak to me was in the 2nd to last episode.. this last one was just a good cap on the whole season. I'll have to watch it again, but the last episode was more revealing than engaging to me.

I think it will work out between Harrow and his lady friend... I don't think they'd spend so much time working on that plot-line if it would just not work out, but who knows.. I'm sure whatever happens will be dramatic.

You're right, Eddie did help save Nucky's life, but I was expecting it in a more hands-on fashion.

Benny Siegel aka "Bugsy", although I don't think they've referred to him as anything other than Benny in the series, is the young hothead who rolls with Lansky/Lucciano, he's the one who almost assassinated Gyp in Tabor Heights. He'd be the perfect craziness factor to replace Gyp next season, unless they do it with a new face which is also a probability.
He started East Coast and made his way west to do all the Vegas/Hollywood stuff later on.

The only thing that kind of bothers me about the finale...

The guy that kills Rosetti hides in the closet. Eli and Nucky find him, they turn him against Rosetti and tell him to kill him, I get that part. But I don't understand how the other two guys didn't try to stop or at least take out the guy that kills Rosetti?

How would that guy have told those guys what was about to happen before hand? He meets them there and says "I hid in the closet" so you think he just shows up out of the blue and kills Rosetti and they let him just walk away?

Clarity would be helpful!!

I loved the final episode. Total gangster. The mask hides a bad ass.

He has to go to work for Nucky. I know its TV but they are sure taking a lot of liberties with history. Especially Lucky being mad at Rothstein. No way Rothstein screwed over Lucky. Just a few facts.

Lucky was with Masseria's gang as a triggerman. Not a part of some Jewish gang.
When Rothstein goes into bootlegging in the early 20's Lucky goes with him as his right hand man. Within 4-5 years Lucky was making $10-$20 million in the mid 20's.
When Rothstein is killed over a gambling bet, Lucky goes back to Masseria gang.
Lucky cordinated a take over from Masseria with his "
young Turks". Bugsy Segal pulls the trigger that put the first bullet in Masseria.
He takes over the gang and come up with the idea of syndicate and and the commision. He's the father of organized crime.
He was responsbile for helping America win the war in Italy and Sicily. The government let him out of prison and he went to Italy.
He controlled the mafia in Cuba.
He ordered the death of Bugsy Seagal for skimming money at the casino.
He died of a heart attack as an old man

And I have no idea why Capone would be fighting in NJ. He got all of his liquor from Canada.

Kylo Ren · 12-09-2012, 08:27 PM

It's not history and it's not fiction. I guess they call it "faction".

Kylo Ren · 12-09-2012, 08:28 PM

Anyone heard when the next season will begin?

That's less than a year. Not much considering how long it used to be between seasons of, say, The Sopranos or Deadwood (or how long it is between Sherlock's).

I'm still trying to catch up on the series. I'm on the season two finale. Just saw Jimmy have sex with.. well you know.. god dammit that was hard to watch.

DC.chief · 12-14-2012, 07:40 AM

I guess this is technically a spoiler for somebody who hasn't caught all the way up, but I was worried about how the new season would be without him, and as it turned out I don't think I ever missed him a single moment. The show kept going just fine.

Yeah sorry I shoulda have attached a spoiler notice. I assumed anyone reading the thread at this point was caught up.

A friend of mine told me the same thing about never missing him. I guess now that I think more about it it seems a fitting end for the path he's takin.

If it has been broadcast, it's fair game.
