I didn't like him much the first season but he's become more interesting, even though now the writers don't know what to do with him anymore.

That's the feeling I get too. Does he go full gangster? I even thought he would get killed off in the last episode, an interesting angle would be for him to join Capone and then refuse to go to A City for the war, Capone kills him.

Maybe Capone left him in Chicago to help keep things running?

Van Alden didn't have much effect other character's story lines, but I still really enjoyed him this season.

I liked the last scene with Gyp where he started talking in a different voice. It was awkward and unnerving. I wasn't sure what to make of him at the beginning of the season, but he was a great character played by a great actor. He kind of reminded me of Chigurrah in No Country for Old Men, in the sense that he's just a destructive and chaotic force of nature.

Richard's shootout was fine. It wasn't realistic, but it was so much fun! I loved the stairwell scene where he got two consecutive headshots. Everyone enjoyed his character and wanted to see a scene like that soon after his character was introduced. I also thought "why doesn't he just shoot him?" in the scene with Tommy as he was laying his gun down, but it was still tense and badass in a cheesy way. Just enjoy it.

That whole scene had been building for so long that it was incredibly cathartic when it finally happened. And Van Alden stomping around the office Godzilla-style was hilarious. This is in my top three scenes for the series.

Both the Godzilla scene and Richard's killing spree had been been telegraphed, but Richard's scene was a bit of a letdown. I thought the finale was very good, but echo some of the criticism's of Harrow's brothel attack.

Gyp's other voice was supposed to be a Nucky impression, I think.

The intention was to drug him up enough that she could physically overpower him and strangle him, just like she drugged up fake Jimmy and drowned him.

People had realism complaints about the Wire, too. Remember Spiderman Omar?
