Petey Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 It's not so much that Harrow died as much as that he died in not the final episode. He was one of, if not, my favorite characters on TV and it seems like he was for a lot of people. If this had happened in the final season, I'd be much more accepting of it.

Fat Spanish Waiter Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Second biggest character died in the second season. This show does not conform to your expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Yeah but I didn't really care about Jimmy though so I was all like, whatevs. I also think the fact that this comes on the heels of Sons killing off Clay and I'm just wondering why all my favorite characters from different shows are dying in front of me.

MarcosLoura Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Shit was sad. You could tell from the fight scene between Eli and Knox that this was Van Patten episode, as brutal as the kitchen fight between Tony and Cifaretto in the Sopranos. I knew Richard was a goner, but still, all dem feels. I would actually not mind if the show ended this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 The way Knox finally got it reminded me of Chris killing the pedophile dad in The Wire. I didn't think of the kitchen fight but that's another good comparison. Using the saw was an inspired touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.J. Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 So I finally caught up. Can we all agree that Richard Harrow is arguably one of the best character's to be portrayed on television? Also, I really like the Rothstein/Margret pairing. Her hospital stuff 1 or 2 seasons ago was dreadful, I liked that we're still seeing glimpses of her, even if it is because she's a beaut.

Web Conn Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Doyle has to be the last man standing it has to be. Doyle is such a fuck up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.J. Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I was looking forward to seeing a lot more of Luciano, Capone, Lansky, etc. grow into what mythological figures they've become today. Maybe they'll move a few years forward when they come back, but other then that, the show had a good run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Yeah Capone is the one I was looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Damn. Just when they were gaining more traction with less Margaret and killed off Richard to make way for more of the other characters. They better go out with a bang... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigertooth Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 They have an entire season to show those guys growing to the beginnings of what they became. Seems a bit early to say that they blew it. I mean, if you're looking for just the set-up for these guys, do you need much more than one season? We've already gotten some of it. I dunno, I'm more of the opinion that maybe they should have ended it with this season. But we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I still think that the ending with Richard would have made for a great show-closing scene. If they do use this season to show the setup for how guys like Capone, Lucky and Lansky came to be, I wonder if they'll do a spin-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this 100% this past season really seemed like it could have been the last except Nucky's story didn't really have an ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Apropos of nothing, we were at my mom's over the weekend helping her catalog family photos to scan in at a later date. One of the things I found was an old Chicago Times article on the shooting death of my great-aunt's brother. Spotted at the scene: JAKE GUZIK.

Pete Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 It's not like Narcisse won't want revenge either way. He's gonna stick around and be a thorn in Nucky's side for sure. That is one devious motherfucker right there and I can't see him letting up on a grudge, especially when he's forced to compromise his supposed values just because he got involved with some honky from Atlantic City. Plus he has to deal with Masseria, who is going to probably be the go-to guy for a main villain next season unless they introduce someone new. Not feeling the Nucky flashbacks yet... he's still the least interesting guy in the whole show. Far more interested in how Chalky got put in jail and leading the jailbreak with his Stepin Fetchit buddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Lets see: Lucy Danzinger...gone Jimmy Darmody...dead Manny Horvitz ... dead dead The Commodore ...dead as a doornail but younger and alive in super flashback world Richard Harrow ... dead on a beach Dean O'Bannon .... dead in flower heaven Gyp Rosetti ... not possible to be more dead than he is Arnold Rothstein and Masseria...dead tonight because you can't change real history unless you're Quentin Tarantino But Margaret Schroeder....ALIVE AND FUCKING WELL This is why we can't have nice things. Anyway, HBO must have told them to wrap this shit up ASAP. I had no idea they only had an eight episode order until I read a Grantland article the other day. How do you botch what was a season plus long storyline (the slow ascent to power of Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky) in 15-20 minutes time? It took them several episodes to even be pushed in that direction and then tonight: Nucky: Sorry about Arnold. Meyer: Oh yeah, he dead. Not a promising start at all. But godspeed you cake eating, milk drinking, compulsive gambling heathen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 This was not a faith inspiring episode of television tonight. At least we get twice as much Nucky now I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.J. Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Not even a Capone sighting tonight! I hope these Nucky flashbacks get phased out soon, cause there's a ton of stuff they need to cover within 7 more eps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Oh well, so much for my predictions. Nice seeing Lucky has the lazy eye now at least (and Capone the scars in future eps). Since they're rushing all this I just hope they just don't screw up Van Alden and Chalky's fates, or do something dumb like kill off Patricia Arquette for no reason.

Curt McGirt Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 That was a little better last night. Unfortunately... more flashbacks. Please make it stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Michael Shannon is so dedicated to being awesome in spite of this show. “WHY MUST IT ALWAYS BE PANDEMONIUM?!" The high point of the last night's show. That and younger Dabney Coleman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
