I don't know perhaps its because he seems so naive, I don't dislike him but damn he was frustrating in finale as well.

If you want to be taken seriously, you have to be a serious person.

Yeah, that was definitely a bonehead move on his part, not to mention potentially fatal for Richie.

To paraphrase Richie: "I steal 90 grand and make you feel guilty, but you almost get me whacked!"

What an idiot.

"Stick with me, baby, and you'll be fartin' thru silk."

But it really did seem true to character.

I kinda like him now. He and Richie have got a really twisted relationship growing. Be interesting to see where it goes.

Their relationship reminds me a lot of the relationship between Nucky and Eli. They both would screw over the other, but at the end of the day, they always somehow worked through it... Little late for Nucky in Season 5 though...

After 5 Years of Chuck, I have learned that at the end the nerd will ALWAYS get the girl. Chuck me.

Seemed like Nucky worked it out, but Eli was never done screwing him over.

I think he should've killed him at the end of season 2 instead.

[–] stephenguti 9 years ago

Nucky should've definitely killed him in Season 2, but he didn't have it in him to kill his own brother, just like Eli didn't mind having Nucky killed. Hell, it was Eli who suggested to Jimmy to kill Nucky. Season 4 though, Eli was a dead man for sure, he was lucky his son walked in when Nucky was going to kill him.

I'm really looking forward to where Richie and Zak go in the next season.

I like Zak, he's the character I like most in the show.

He's a frustrated person that tries to fullfil his old dreams (have a threesome, be the head of A&R, be the leader of ACR instead of Richie, discover new artists, talk to Bowie instead of Andrea Zito) but fails because he is inesperienced and immature.
With Galasso he discovers how the world can be dangerous, and that he needs Richie, even if he hates to admit it.

BTW, there's a couple scenes that I did'nt get in the finale, about Zak.

1. the shoes at his desk. Are them running/golf shoes? Why the scene is so dramatic? Maybe that scene is just a filler, to express how much Zak is shaken, I don't know for sure.

2. the final gaze with Richie. What was all about? Hate? Guilt? Animosity? Resentment?

Cut Zak some slack. The guy's mom just died.
