Did the regulars on here kill their HBO? Stop watching? Wth is goin on? There a better show on tv now?
No I'm just kinda sad. This show never got the respect it deserved. People would rather watch Days of Our Lives: with Zombies than real cinematography with extensive sets, master level lighting and costumes and great acting. Its just hard to find that motivation to talk about it with the bitter end coming.
reddit.com/r/boardwalkempire has great discussions though I usually go there.
Anyway does anybody think that kid is actually Tommy, Jimmy Darmodys son? I think Gillian hasn't been writing Nucky like they hinted at episode 3, I think that was a red herring. Gillian has been writing Tommy, and telling him everything so he wants revenge. Nuckys original sin was bringing Gillian to the commodore to be sexually abused, that's what the season has been leading up to. That's what this guilt Nucky is carrying has been about. I think at the end we'll see that first original sin being shown, and Nucky will maybe apologize for it or more than likely not, in a violent confrontation with that kid, and he'll die at his hands, and it'll all come full circle.
Or maybe he'll have a fate worse than death, ala Michael Corleone at the end of The Godfather 3
