Maybe that's why they didn't show his death because there's a couple of rumors out there reflecting how and who killed him. I don't know but they should've still showed us because nucky never got shot by Jimmy's son he died of old age I think in his 80's

[@elmerofairo]

One minor point (I don't consider this a negative for the show) is that you get the impression Rothstein was a major bootlegger when he really was only involved in the business for a couple of years before divesting. I believe he saw it as too violent and dangerous a business, which it was tbh. I would've liked to have seen that addressed in the show, it would've added even more depth to one of the better characters. Divesting from bootlegging is something that basically no gangster did because of the profits, it's really a standout move by him

[@ceerious]

yup lol.

[@osman732]

I always found it slightly jarring that a crime boss would announce his personal hideout in an external meeting with rival crime bosses. But I suppose Gyp was more of an attack dog than a strategist

[@Emperorfren]

@@osman732 good point, information like that getting revealed is probably why Nucky and Arnold did their business behind closed door offices and they dealt with people one on one

[@Djm8520]

Ceeriously, a great and time-consuming effort. Michael Stuhlbarg did a brilliant job of bringing Rothstein to multi-faceted life. He’s a great character. ‘Boardwalk Empire,’ like so many other contenders for ‘The Sopranos’ crown as the greatest of all-time, couldn’t stick the landing. The final season sucked! If they had interspersed the flashback sequences of young Nucky throughout the series (the way The Sopranos did) it would have been very effective. But, to turn almost the entire final season over to young Nucky flashbacks was a fatal error. Then, they compounded the error by bringing back Gillian. Of all the contenders for the title of GOAT, only ‘The Sopranos’ delivered brilliant seasons for the entire run, with the exception of ‘Deadwood,’ which was stupidly cancelled after only 3 seasons, and ‘Bosch’ which, whilst excellent, is not in ‘The Sopranos’ league. I have rewatched ‘Boardwalk’ several times and I just skip the final season.
