[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't take "young" Nucky seriously. That's the best they could do?! Those teeth look freaking ridiculous! [/quote]

I agree the teeth are a bit obtrusive, but the actor is phenomenal. The mannerisms, the inclination in voice, the facial expressions are all so similar to Buschemi.

[b]I'm not still understanding the relevance of so much flashbacks. I understand it's good background and understanding of the character development with Nucky/Maybel, Eli, Jillian, the Commodore, etc., but there are only 2 episodes left and a ton of other story lines to piece together.[/b]

There is something about the Jillian story line too. The most sane in the asylum, I have a feeling something is going to happen. It keeps coming back when it could've been done with last season.

I think the teenager kid (who found Nucky after he got knocked out and brings him sandwiches) is Johnny Darmody - son ofJimmy Darmody. That is why Nucky keeps doing double takes everytime he's in the room with him. It could also bring Jillian back into the main plot.

I didn't pick up on it at first, but when Margaret paid off Rothstien's widow, her lawyer asked how he could thank Nucky. Margaret replied that (the lawyer) could set up a legitimate account (Mayflower Grain Inc). I wonder if this to get revenge on Kennedy...?[/quote]

Exactly! Every week I keep waiting for the flashbacks to make more sense- I keep thinking, there has to be something in these that I am supposed to actually care about. I mean it is interesting but I feel like I have NO buy in with them, if they stopped all together at any point I would never have thought "oh I wonder what happened with XYZ in the flashback", not once[/quote]

I felt that way in the beginning of the season but it really came full circle last night in my opinion- [b]the moment we built to in flashback the whole season, when Nucky seals his fate and hands over a young Gillian to the commodore. It is just desserts that it is Tommy who kills him- not just for revenge for his father, but more for the wrong he did to his grandma- which started the whole saga[/b][/quote]

Exactly. I remember in earlier season really disliking Gillian when I'd see her craziness. The flashbacks this season have made her a much more sympathetic character. Seeing her get handed over to the Commodore was just tragic. [/quote]
