The scenes where Gillian is trying to see young Tommy during the custody battle show Tommy as being almost afraid of her,and as we know,he was soon taken away by


Richard's sister.

So the question for me is: How did Tommy find out for sure that Nucky killed his father.? Terrance Winter could have cleared that up,even if it came right before Nucky's killing.

By no means does this take away from one of the best shows ever made,but it would have been nice to know.


If tommy thought nucky had killed his father why wait to kill him he had numerous opertunaties to do it the easiest would have been after nucky got rolled and left in an alley drunk why didnt he do it then. And before he shoots nucky he makes no mention of his father just his mema and also just happens to kill him after he denied Julian's help to get out. That character Julian was one of the sharpest on the show she played the hand she was delt that's what I took away from the last season if she had nothing to do with the hit why have her on the last season at all.

Yup.

Yup.
Here's some irony:
On the Sopranos (which Terrance Winter worked on),Steve Buscemi's character was killed by a shotgun blast to the face. In Boardwalk Empire, the last shot (to the face) is the one that kills him.

In both shows he dies on wood. (Sopranos-firewood pile,Boardwalk Empire-the actual boardwalk.)

Think I have way too much time on my hands?

Was kind of let down that they did not get into the AR murder @ the Park Sheraton ( Same Location as the AA Murder in 1957) and the rise of Frank Costello who had inherited much of AR connections and influence after AR was killed.

AR's murder needed to be shown not just mentioned. His character was there since season #1 and his murder should have been depicted much like Maranzano or Masseria's murder. Frank Costello became a poltical fixer/powerhouse after AR was killed, and was a Partner to Luciano and never was mentioned in 5 years ?

Might be a little reference to what happened to the real Nucky down the line.



Here is Wikipedia article on the actual Dr. Cotton portrayed in Boardwalk Empire
