DO NOT READ PAST THIS POINT UNLESS YOU WANT SPOILERS
Is your mind blown from that last Boardwalk Empire episode? Mine is.
After waiting all season for the inevitable (last week gave us a big alley oop), it finally happened: The showdown between Dr. Narcisse and Chalky White for the final season. A lot had to build it up during the previous episodes for it to culminate to this moment, and in the back of your mind, you knew how it would end. Somehow you wished it turned out different, but it didn’t.
It almost seemed as if Chalky had accepted his fate. He knew it was coming. But it’s crazy the things that love makes you do, right? Is it really love if you aren’t willing to go through the greatest lengths to help the one that has your heart? Chalky made the ultimate sacrifice.
Based on how this went down, a lot had changed between the last time these two saw each other. Or maybe it was only Chalky that was different.
As I sit here and pour out a liquor for one of my favorite characters on Boardwalk Empire, it’s hard not to wonder what will come of each (you know, except for the obvious ending to one). The question of who prevailed between the two of these enemies has been answered, but the war is much bigger than them.
And it’s about to get started.
