So what is up with that scene with Narcisse and Hoover? Was Hoover telling Narcisse what to do regarding the murder of Knox?
Plus, Narcisse bowing down to a white man by replying as "yes sir" is like a poetic justice.

He was definitely nervous. He was shaking and he did pull the trigger in the end.

Fuckin noob camper that's what he gets.
Yeah, definitely wasn't cramping, it was hesitation that built up from the series of events we saw throughout the season. Him not killing that hit target early on, him being unable to kill the dog.

Narcisse brought her over. She was his bargaining chip.

It speaks volumes of Jimmy as a character when he's still having a major impact when he's been dead for two full seasons.
That's some impressive writing, many times in shows a death is supposed to have a major impact yet two episodes later it's like they never existed in that world.

I sorta feel this way about Eddie.
Idk, I felt like his death should have had a much bigger impact than it did.

Why would anyone peruse twitter on the night of a season finale for a show they watch? Actually, why does anyone read twitter at all?

harrow my dawg i hate it had to be him. glad he left with tommy being in safe hands though.
fucking chalky is broken now too, as is eli tbh.
but the prospect of eli, van alden and capone being in the same scenes now has me far too excited. that's like the best three remaining characters now holy shit.
to quit this show now because of richard's death is baffling. he was great and will be missed but good episodes are still definitely ahead.
this show has balls. unlike, say, walking dead which is set in a lawless civilization but can't kill anybody of note.

Van Alden, exiled to Chicago for killing a Fed, picking up Eli, exiled to Chicago for killing a Fed, was pretty great.

Absolutely outstanding finale to a season that slogged a fair bit, a lot of promise with the next season, Richard Harrow was by far the best character on the show and I'm kinda upset he's gone but I don't entirely understand how.
I wonder if Daughter will be a focus character in the following season now also?

Oh fuck me that ending was sad. Beautifully shot and put together, but Christ...
Harrow
Very happy that we'll see more Narcisse. He's an amazing character. I really liked Knox, too, but I can't argue with that ending.
Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable and tense for most of each episode, especially during the second halves? I've never had a show that gave me such a profound unease.

Maybe. Though his character did go through a significant change in deciding to hang up his boots.
Yeah, we know more about the upcoming tensions and dynamics than we normally do. Lots of resolution, but several new threads were started (or remain open).

Holy fuck what an episode. That Eli fight might be the most tense thing in all of Boardwalk. That shit just would not end.
Harrow's ending was beautifully shot.
Am I the only one that read some foreshadowing into Willy's handing Nucky a cigaratte when Nucky couldn't find one of his own? I think back to that episode where Nucky is hiding out in that house with Owen and the kid, and when the kid lies and is about to have one of his own cigarettes, Nucky pulls out the gold-plated holder and hands him one of his own before killing him. I think seeing what Nucky was going to do to his father has catalysed something in Willy and that moment was a bit of foreshadowing.
Anyway, greatest show on television.

i live in australia and didn't realise the finale was airing - pretty simple really.
I feel the same way, watching BE is very unpleasant, yet rewarding.

I have a feeling that next season is going to see Van Alden come back to the fore in a big way.

This season was absolutely amazing. Television bliss.
I find it hard to even compare anything to this show, especially this season.
Was a shame that Harrow had to go. I do like how you think he's dead, then there's that sigh of relief when you think he's fine, then you notice his face is whole again...

Not to take the spotlight away from Jack Huston (he deserves it), but I'd like to draw everyone's attention to the fact that this could very well be the last time we see Greg Antonacci as Johnny Torrio.
Here's to a thoroughly likable and charming portrayal of Al's mentor and one of the last remnants of gangster culture before the well known Capone-style era. He absolutely nailed the character, as do most of the cast.

Worth noting that Eli almost surely knows who Van Alden is.
That setup in Chicago for season 5 is just amazing, can't wait to see what they do there.

I think that much was pretty obvious from his speech with Capone when he hands over the operation saying "you've won". Although, possible spoilers for next seasons:
He does come back to America to set up another gang with Luciano, Lanksy and a few others but I don't think they'll bother in the show.
