Harrow's onslaught was the greatest thing I've ever seen. Then Al on the staitionary gun directly after.
Finale did not disappoint.

Any episode sans Margaret Schroeder is top-notch in my book. |

I just felt like the season wasn't going anywhere. The nucky and his mistress thing had been done before, and a lot of time was spent on what ended up being a pointless plot line. I really thought the stuff centered around van Alden was good but they'd spend a few scenes on it and then not go back to it for 4 or 5 episodes. It was worth it though because the last 2 episodes have been incredible and lead into what I assume will be a great finale. |

I'd say season 3 was the best for me. I loved the finale and Gyp was a great villian. There were some slow moments, but like the 2nd half of season 2. This season got better as it went along.

But I think things just moved too quickly for this one. A few phone calls are made, Harrow kills some people without anyone else knowing, and then Masseria's guys are all killed in one scene. The actual fighting that took place as a result of the events in the previous episode was all glossed over in the opening murder montage. As a result of all this, the episode lacked a building suspense throughout it. With that said, I still enjoyed it. The AV Club rated last week's episode and A and this week's an A-. I would have given the finale a B or a B+ instead. |

The action was glossed over/rushed and then all of a sudden Nucky won. I do however like the set up for the Nucky/Rothstein feud for season 4. |

Van Alden got screwed... Doyle and Rothstein make a great odd couple. I want more of them together next season. |

Next season we will see the rise of Capone and Luciano. The year will be 1924 and that was when the two of them really became ruthless. Capone will probably take over cicero and Luciano will become his own man. |

Should I also spoiler that Capone goes to jail for tax evasion and dies a washed up shell of himself in Florida in the 40s? |
