MAJOR SPOILERS! For those of you who have not watched the finale yet, I would recommend you stop reading or else you are going to spoil the extremely shocking season 2 finale!
The writers of the show have really stepped up their game with season 2. It was shocking, disturbing, and amazing! I will not lie and say Micheal Pitt didn't carry this season. He has one of the most interesting characters that I haven't seen for a while. Of course that character would be nothing without Pitt's perfect performance.
Of course I am talking about Jimmy because at the end of this episode, he gets 2 bullets in the head...courtesy of Nucky Thompson (played brilliantly by Buscemi). It can be argued that he may not fully deserved it. He did betray Nucky, but you can tell he there was a sense of regret or hesitation whenever he ordered something against Nucky. He even tried to make amends and played a huge role in keeping Nucky out of prison. And it was Eli who was all for killing Nucky, so if anything, Eli deserved it more.
Every now and then a show will take a risk and shock the audience (Dexter Season 4 Finale). While this definitely angered many viewers, I thought it was a brilliant decision. I'll be honest, at first I was furious because Jimmy was my favorite character, but then I had respect for the writers for risking this. This is a show that is not afraid to break the rules, which happened a lot with Jimmy's character (His "relationship" with his mother). I'm going to miss Jimmy and I think Pitt will have many more opportunities because he is a great actor.
Overall, a great finale and shows that this show will do anything. So now we know in season 3, always expect the unexpected!
