Lunatic:
GREAT finale. Great season period. Only 2 episodes I wasn't extremely fond of. The other 10 were phenomenal.
Wonder what the commodore, jimmy & eli have up there sleeves :o it wont be easy to remove nucky
the scene of jimmy lookin out at the water like nucky during the intro was sick foreshadowing
can't wait for season 2

Like I said before, based on his facial expressions, I'm sure Nucky read something of interest in the book that the Commodore's maid gave to him when he gave her money and told her to leave town (rather than having her prosecuted). My guess is that she had probably been documenting things that he had been saying about people (him included) since she obviously didn't like the guy anyway.
Nucky's smart, but without the Commodore, Jimmy and Eli backing him, his future is questionable. Jimmy (and the guy with the mask) were more or less doing the dirty work of his illegal operations while Eli (now reinstated as Sheriff) was his muscle. However, Nucky's still allied with the gangsters from Chicago and now he's on better terms with Rothstein (which includes Luciano and Lansky), not to mention Chalky. But while he was invited and brought into the operation, I don't see Jimmy just turning on Nucky like that. He's talked about how Nucky uses him to do his dirty work, but earlier in the season, he wanted to be part of the team specifically to do just that, given his experiences in the war.
I just wonder if Van Alden is going to get info out of Lucy since she's pregnant by him but also was Nucky's main squeeze (though he doesn't know that yet).

its based on real life, if u know history, the shows basically already spoiled for you.

I'm aware of that, but it IS a TV show, and a few characters who are key figures weren't real, like Jimmy. But Nucky (though his real last name was Johnson and not Thompson), Rothstein, Luciano, Lansky, Capone, etc. were all real. So we can't exactly figure out the way the show is going to end, other than Nucky eventually getting convicted of tax evasion.
Anonymous.:
ye its based on real life characters but scorcese basically said the real life is just a starting jumpin point for the show..they didnt name him nucky johnson for a reason..put thompson so they can do whatever
