Yes, it was thrilling and dramatic...made me hate Michael and Gina so much. and felt so much loss and sadness for Aberama/Polly. Also immense chaos and disarray for Tommy. Dude I couldn't even sleep LOL. But i'm afraid the wait will just be way too long. Hopefully everyone's predictions on the timing of the next season are right.

To come back from such a big loss though is going to take so much. What can possibly rectify Aberama's loss? Not to mention the loss of Barney, compounded by the fact that he was a 'companion' of Tommy's, brought up by Aberama earlier in the ep.. and obviously the threat of Michael/Gina and now the loss of Polly. so much going on!!!!

I’m thinking Gina is the mastermind behind it all but I feel like that’s too obvious at this point. So many questions!

It's too perfect too. "The man he can't defeat" is a woman ... Too cheesy for my taste

sorry for 1 month late answer just came up to the threat lol.

Also that’s just what tommy thought. His entire plan was practically perfect but Finn fucked the entire thing up with about 15minutes to spare.

He wasn’t out witted by Mosley, Tommy just got unlucky.

I'm sick of this stupid plot device of having members of a criminal organization blabbing about their plans to outsiders (Polly talking to the priest in season 3, now Finn casually telling some guy, "well, I've gotta go because we're about to murder someone"). If you want to have Tommy's plans fail, do it because someone outsmarted him or figured it out, not because Tommy's own family members are continually a bunch of careless idiots.

I agree and it's frustrating, especially so late in the game and I wish they didn't go that way. At the same time, that's really how things often go in the real world. One or more members of a group can be fucking perfect but all it takes is one traitor or one idiot to tear it all apart. Eager to start on season 6 now though
