Entertaining as it is, "Boardwalk Empire" suffers from too many characters and too many stories happening in each episode, with only small incremental movement. The last episode was refreshing because it brought closure to at least a few threads. Although Jimmy's demise wasn't very credible, at least he's gone--he developed into the most annoying character on TV since Medavoy on "NYPD Blue." And good riddance to Agent Van Alden, the Sultan of Sanctimony, and to that arrogant US Attorney (nice work, Nucky!). Looking forward to next season.
