I know I got all excited cause Ive missed alot of the shows then I logged into my account and was bummed again but it does look like the first season will be out on dvd on Jan. 12

I'm in the first season still - it's great, but I don't have the time. I need to catch up!

That was a crap ending for an HBO show. It was like they ran out of time and hurried everything just to wrap up the series. A bit let down that they would go that direction. The combination of all those things happening at or around the same time is something that I'd expect from network TV, not HBO and certainly not something with Scorcese's name attached to it.
All in all the two seasons were really great TV; I just don't think the last episode fits into the format of the rest of the episodes.

No. no...this was not the end of the series...Boardwalk Empire will return for a third season.

Nucky Thompson storyline (based on real life political boss and racketeer Enoch L. Johnson) is very fascinating...and it's just getting started...

Michael Pitt's Jimmy Darmody was a fictional character (unlike other characters like Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and Arnold Rothstein)...so they could only take him so far in the storyline...and while I also hated the ending...it was the logical way to go...

Jimmy basically committed suicide.

Notice how he worried about his son inheriting his old man's estate...how he left his kid his soldier war medals, didn't take his half-face hitman with him...and showed up unarmed...he wanted to die...

[Bill]

I get all that, but the pace of the last episode was rushed, it didn't fit with the rest of the series.
I had no idea they were continuing, I'm very happy about that. I can forget one episode, no problem. And I do like how most HBO shows have no problem killing off a major character; The Wire in my opinion is the greatest show to ever air on television.

Let's occupy Boardwalk Empire!!

I'm very annoyed with the season 2 ending. True Jimmy was a fictional character... but that would of meant you had no limits to his story! I'm very ****ed off right now. I'm going to miss his amazing brotherly relationship with Richard. I won't be watching it on HBO anymore. The writers need to know that they made a mistake. Even if the viewership dips only a little. I will still have made my point!!
