Ok Boardwalk Empire, All Empires End *sigh*

So, Lucky Luciano rules the underworld.

Al Capone went to jail,

Oh and Nucky Thompson was killed.

I was shocked he died. I am upset and who killed him. Okay I am getting ahead of myself. Let me rewinded. Boardwalk Empire ended on Sunday, October 26, 2014, I hated to see it end. But as HBO said "All Empire's End" and "No One Goes Quietly".

Okay. I saw 3 good points in the finale. Al Capone actually went to jail. I learned that Al Capone went to jail in high school history class. That was inevitable but when he told his partially deaf son that he was going down that brought tears to my eyes. My heart swelled a little all throughout the show whenever he interacted with his son.
Capone was a lot of horrible things but he was a loving father too. Valentin Narcisse got killed.

Oh Valentin Narcisse, the bible quoting dope smuggler dies, I was so happy to see him get killed. And in front of his parishioners giving him compliments. He brought down Chalky White so he had to go down. The best part of the finale was Gillian Darmody Not getting out of the mental institute.
I was so fearful that a guilty Nucky was going to atone for his sins towards her by getting her out. I know young Gillian was wronged because Nucky gave her to that pedophile called Commodore

but Gillian as an Adult was crazy. Remember when she drowned that poor innocent Roger that was a doppelganger of her son Jimmy. A sane person would've turned Nucky in for killing Jimmy. No, not Gillian she kills an innocent man so she can officially declare her son dead. Yeah, she belong in that asylum.

I should have known Nucky was going to die when these three men died,

the two men who clearly had 9 lives on that show, Mickey Doyle & Nelson Van Alden and

the beloved Chalky White. But that is no never mind. Die by the sword, Live by the sword. Nucky dying was not my issue. Who killed Nucky broke my heart.

Tommy Darmody age 14 posing as a guy named Joe Harper killed Nucky. Tommy was the son of Jimmy who worked for then betrayed Nucky. Nucky killed him.
Jimmy was the son of Gillian and the pedophilic Commodore. When Jimmy died,

Gillian raised Tommy for a few years before a friend of Jimmy's named Richard Harrow rescued him from Gillian's whorehouse during a shoot out. Harrow places him with some friends named the Sagorskys. There is custody battle in which the Sagorsky's win and they raise Tommy. Later as a teenager, Tommy went under the alias "Joe Harper," to get close to Nucky Thompson. He gets in trouble and Nucky gets him out of it. Nucky tries to advise him not to go down the path he did. He doesn't listen but he does follow Nucky down the Boardwalk, tells him who he really is, and then kills Nucky. He is arrested immediately. It's safe to say his grandmother in her quest to write people to get herself out of the asylum, she wrote Tommy, telling him about Nucky Thompson. Tommy avenged Nucky for all that he did to his family.

Why am I hurt?

If only Richard Harrow had survived!

Richard Harrow would have raised Tommy and put him on a straight & narrow path. He put Tommy in the care of Julia Sagorsky & her father. He eventually marries Julia so they could get custody of Tommy. Richard Harrow just had to return to Atlantic City for "work".  Harrow made an agreement with Nucky to recover Jimmy's body to seal the deal in the conviction of Gillian, with his obligation being to help Chalky kill Valentin Narcisse. Chalky's daughter steps in the path of the bullet and is killed. In shock over the accident he reacts slowly while bullets fly his way. He is shot but manages to escape and die quietly on the beach. His last visions are of  him coming home Julia Sagorsky & Tommy. We never find out what happens during the years before Tommy poses as Joe. It's just hurtful that Tommy had to succumb to the same fate as his biological family & Nucky Thompson, the man her murdered.

Well, here is a hat tip to "Boardwalk Empire".

RIP
Nucky Thompson
Chalky White
Richard Harrow
My Sunday night will not be the same.

Always, Talking to You in Adult Terms
