Surely Van Alden is about to get in with the florist, to make up for missing the sales prize? A bit obvious, but should evolve nicely.

Agree about the Sicilian, loose cannons are great for the story!

I think you're probably right about VA .. He made a good nut-job when he was with the law so should be godo to see him on the other side of the fence

He's become too impatient now to allow himself to make money in door-door sales. His descent from extreme law abiding into the world he despised makes a better story than Nucky at the moment. Love this show.

Good episode tonight, looking forward to next week's now

Awesome, but largely predictable, finale. Love this show!

Wasnt a big fan fan of it .. IMHO rushed too much into a finale that could have been spread across 2 episodes.

Also, as much as I like Richard half-face, it was like watching Rambo when 6 people missed their shots at him, but he spent 10 bullets for 10 bodies.

Mrs smac said the same about cramming - I thought it added a frantic tempo to the show, it made it for me.

Agree about the shoot up, how can a bloke with one eye have such perception of his surroundings? And be so calm standing in the open like that?

You might have a point with the depth perception, but he would have become accustomed to it.
Calmness... he was trained soldier and had near-psychopathic tendencies, he didn't care that much about himself, just getting the kid out.

A lot was covered in that episode, while you were still figuring out the various deals, they had already jumped to a new scene!

Season 4 wrapped up tonight and IMHO, arguably the best season of all of them

[smac]

Agreed. A few actors extended beyond their normal range and interesting to watch Capone rise. Will avoid posting specific spoilers, but was genuinely sad at the ending.

Yeah the ending was really well done, although it sucked!

Lot's of question marks over some key characters between seasons is good too
