The final season starts tonight!
I'm guessing that owes to the massive price tag for this show and that it isn't pulling Game Of Thrones numbers. Since Rothstein was killed off camera, it sure seems like they had at least another season planned but were probably given an ultimatum of wrap it up in one year and so they've skipped all the way up to the end of prohibition. All that being said, I have to give HBO credit for spending tons of money to make this show look as good as it does and for even giving them 8 episodes to wrap it up.Walter Kittel said:Surprised (and a little disappointed) that there are only eight episodes this season.
Was thinking the same thing, ever since that episode of Family Guy (and episode 3 of 'The Knick')..I hope Luciano's new friends don't have any blood borne pathogens
Unknown or at least not specified. The last we saw Chalky, he was hiding out in Maryland after his daughter was killed in his failed attempt to have Dr. Narcisse killed. I guess he could be in jail for something relating to that or he could have gotten caught for something else he did in the seven years that elapsed between the seasons.doug zdanivsky said:Why was Chaulky in prison again? (sorry)
I sure hope so. Narcisse kidnapped his daughter and put her in the situation where she got killed so it seems like Chalky will take revenge if the opportunity arises.Walter Kittel said:Wondering if Chalky and Dr. Narcisse are going to be meeting again before the series ends?
I'm gonna guess that Van Alden, Eli, Chalky and Narcisse will all die. You'd think Nucky would die but I think they'll go against the grain and Nucky will live but he'll be forced out by Luciano, Lansky and Maransano so it won't exactly be a happy ending for him. Margaret will live and Mickey will live since he's a weasel. Gillian will get some kind of happiness since she's horrible but she's had some heinous shit happen to her (speaking of which, I assume that we'll see Nucky sell his soul by procuring a 13 year old Gillian for the Commodore in an upcoming flashback).Robert Crawford said:Who lives, who dies???? At least, when it comes to the fictional characters in this series.
I think the show ends with Luciano/Lansky taking over then Nucky hosting the meeting at Atlantic City in which the structure of organized crime is discussed among the heads of the various crime families. Of course, Capone is headed to prison.davidmatychuk said:Read about the "real" Nucky here:

I think he'll survive, and I hope he does. It's a great show.
Spoilers, man! When the show started, I basically knew what happened to everyone but Rothstein so I spent the next 5 years deliberately not reading his (or any of the historical figures') Wikipedia entries to preserve some kind of surprise and then Rothstein's death ends up off camera.Robert Crawford said:Of course, Capone is headed to prison.
I'm gonna go to the set and scream out "BABA BOOEY!" while they're shooting a scene.CarlLaFong said:But the makeup, hair and those teeth make him look like the love child of Peewee Herman and Gary Dell'Abate.
