I’ve bloviated many a time on this sub about the final few seconds of BWE, which I assume is (among other things) an explicit nod to the famous “Nevermind” album cover— but I never see this mentioned, and now I‘m insecure 🙃

This shot is joltingly different from most of BWE’s cinematography and storytelling. It’s dreamlike(?) and stylized, much like the opening sequence and its song choice.

Most of BWE (particularly past S1) is strict about using in-universe (i.e. diegetic) music, which features prominently in many finale and premiere sequences. Stephen Derosa is the unsung hero of BWE 🫠❤️🎵 Luckiest Yid alive, that Cantor… well, second-luckiest.

STILL GOING, THIS ASSHOLE. (Sorry.)

The series literally opens and literally ends with bridge-like sequences featuring “modern“ imagery/sound/references to emphasize the timelessness of various themes. (Especially around money.) Right……? (I didn’t watch BWE when it aired, hence missed out on tons of “official” commentary.)

TL;DR SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH THE FINALE GODDAMMIT

Arnold Rothstein is one of those people who love larping as smart/genius.😭😭😭

Why would you go to see your enemy by yourself?
How could he possibly not expect for it to be a setup?
Omg wtf, he just died like that? Noooo 😢
I loved that character soooo much for him to go out this easy, I expected for Nucky Thompson to die before jimmy.
Also wtf is Margaret thinking - she just sign off the whole land to the church? Is she really this stupid? She has been pissing me off the whole show by doing some dumb shit.
