No mention of Van Alden or Eli in the series finale. Uh-oh

"Nucky gets bad news from Cuba. In 1897, young Nucky (Marc Pickering) looks to win over Mabel’s father (Burke Moses) while asking for expanded responsibilities as deputy sheriff"..... "Pained by a recent loss"
Sally Wheet dies?! And we see young Nucky a little older (I was hoping so!)
"Nucky visits Gillian at the hospital. In 1897, Nucky copes with a family crisis, while making a deal with the Commodore that will settle his future."
An apology (or something more) for Jimmy in the same episode that perhaps we see him take young Gillian to The Commodor---but I'm curious what deal he made, was this when his son dies and Mable goes nuts--it would juxtaposed the visiting Gillian scene nicely. I kind of wish we would see Tommy, but if we are jumping to the future, the press release does not give wind of it...
No Eli, Chalky, Capone, Narcisse, Willie, or Van Alden mentioned in the finale, so perhaps that story is settled in the penultimate episode...
Not to Spoil anything... But Nucky's life is for real, right... doesnt he end up in Jail till he died there? ... i figured that's how the show was going to end...☺...
ReplyDeleteI read it somewhere in a magazine years ago that the plan was to end the show with Nucky's incarceration.
