Feeble ending to a great series. IMO: the producers were so enthralled with their brilliant, lavish scenes and storylines that they neglected to move the plot along in a well-paced, rational way. I kept saying to myself, "Yeah, great episode, but where's this series going?"

They needed to end the series, so they rushed things along. Too rushed, not logical at all.

For the record: Luciano did form the Commission and refused to claim the title of Capo di Tutti Capi. He didn't have to: all the Mob guys knew he was Number One. He appointed Capone "chairman" of the Commission, and Joe Bonnano as "secretary." Clever move: He wanted to bring the Chicago Outfit--a bunch of cowboys--into the fold; and he wanted the old-time Sicilians (the so-called "Men of Honor") to cooperate with non-Sicilians and non-Italians.

AND: Nucky Johnson went to prison on a tax-evasion rap in 1941 for four years. Died broke.
