The season finale is going to be a bloodbath.

Nucky and Chalky teamed up with Capone's gang against Gyp Rosetti, meanwhile Richard the war vet sniper is going to go full Taxi Driver on the whorehouse...

The final couple scenes last night were great, with him pulling out all his weaponry from under the bed and carefully arranging it. Then Capone shows up with Nucky's brother just back from Chicago and says,

"We've been on the road for 18 hours. I need a bath, some chow and then you and me sit down and we talk about who dies."

I got goosebumps when Capone said that. I've been waiting for him to take over in Chicago for a while. You could see it happening with the head guy being about done with it all after being away in Italy. I knew Capone would be the only one crazy enough to jump on this with Nucky. I'm sure Eli made some really good promises though about alcohol prices and I think that new distillery that Nucky is running from that politician is in the midwest?

I absolutely love this show. I was worried how it would be without Jimmy but it's held its own. If only Margaret could stay away, forever, it would be perfect.

I really hope Richard doesn't die but I feel like this is going to be his swan song. Not sure we see Van Alden again. There is SOOO many memorable characters on this show it's not even funny. Only other show I've ever cared about characters as much was The Wire.

I like how Nucky finally realizes how he's been wrong for so long in not realizing what he has already around him (life lesson for a lot of us). Eddie being loyal to the death to taking care of Nucky, and Nucky not even knowing he had a wife and kids. Chalky being loyal to a fault, even when it would have been much easier to take the $20k from Gyp and be done with it, since Nucky slighted him the earlier episode. I like how the writers gave Chalky some depth by not taking that personal. Nucky needs to realize Chalky is his best ally and help him out whenever, club and all.

I've even taken a liking to Eli this season.

    • To be fair, I kind of like Bo but he was BAD this past weekend.
    • What I noticed was Tmac running free on deep routes a lot. Can we just get PJ or Hooker to throw go routes on every play for the rest of the season? It would be more exiting than this current mess. 
    • We're all aware of the frustrating Week 1 for Carolina, but there's reasons to see Arizona as a possible get-right game. While this will be Zona's home opener (requiring the team to travel out west), they were barely able to hold on to a lead against the hapless Saints who got a chance to tie the game up with 2min left that ended at the ARI 18. Kyler Murray was 21/29 with 2 passing TDs but for only 163yds (5.6yd AVG) and a QBR of 50.9 (RTG 108.8). He was also sacked five times for 33yds. Meanwhile, Spencer Rattler went 27/46 and was sacked just once for 6yds. Kyler also carried the ball seven times for 38yds. James Conner struggled to get going (12 carries, 39yds) but Trey Benson had a good day thanks to a 52yd scamper (8 carries, 69yds). Arizona has weapons in MHJ and McBride, but the CBs have been playing well enough for McBride to be the true focus of the defense. MHJ had a good game though against the Saints, so hopefully Jaycee + Mike Jackson can disrupt that connection. The Cardinals also aren't a disciplined team... with an opportunity to put the Saints away they gave up a TFL and a holding penalty before having the field goal attempt blocked. Their OL suuuuucks at run blocking and got better pass blocking from their TEs in week 1 than they did from any OL except for Paris Johnson Jr. Isaiah Adams and Hjalte Froholdt especially had issues as did Jonah Williams. If the Panthers' revamped DL can't get pressure against them it might be worth giving the alarm a pull.
