    on a side note, was flipping through channels this weekend and saw this movie that both nucky and jimmy starred in... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412637/. thought it was interesting.

    I saw this at Roger Ebert's film festival a few years ago and interviewed the director...not a good film.

    Jimmy will be missed but I have faith in the writer's that the show will still be great. Nucky is gonna go bat shit crazy when he finds out 1. Margaret banged Owen and 2. she gave away all his land.

    I am extremely disappointed. Jimmy was a great character and sometimes the best part of the show, they made a huge mistake; way too early to kill off a good actor. Jimmy was the reason I got into this show.

    I get they wanted to shock the audience in the finale after a season that wasn't as good as the first but it was a bad choice. I'll still watch as there are still other good actors like Chalky's character to explore more. It just seems like a waste of a talented actor and character after only two seasons.

    I just got done watching it and was shocked like most of you.
    With last week's episode focused so much on Jimmy...and after 19 or so episodes, the complexity of Jimmy's character really coming out...this was a shocker to say the least. Wow!

    This show is simply brilliant.

    I loved the finale. I think mucky will hook up with Jimmy's mom. Margaret will become a whore and Eli will become Bucky,s protector. In the end...the butler will turn on all of them!

    Was that a slight Godfather nod, cross-cutting the wedding and the whacking?
    Yeah, always. I’m not ashamed to say Godfather is one of my favorite movies of all time, and any time I can steal from it, I always do

    i knew it!

    great read man. thanks.

    I'm probably being a bit melodramatic here, but seeing Nucky kill Jimmy made me feel terrible. Like I sat in shock for like 10 minutes after it happened. What a bummer too, I really liked Jimmy's character. Personality wise, he reminds me a lot of my "little" brother, which probably has something to do with my disappointment in what happened. But I suppose it's what made the most sense. Jimmy just had a fucked up life, from his mom's perverse love to the war to finding out who his father really was. He was the bad guy you rooted for. But he betrayed Nucky. No matter how he spun it he either had to die or leave town for good. It was more dramatic to kill him, obviously. Great interviews with Terence Winter and Michael Pitt in EW, too.

    Jimmy had to go. Unfortunately, there was no way around it.

    Can't wait for the new season. One of the best shows on television imo. Looking forward to seeing how the show progresses without Jimmy Darmody.
