    In my opinion, it was an excuse for a power transfer, sort of an 'it was only business' thing, as mentioned above. The coincidence of Nucky's departure was for dramatic effect, as we see it at a distance through the car's rear window.

    On a recent episode of "Pawn Stars", a gentleman showed what he believed to be Lucky Luciano's ring:

    Doesn't cut it

    "Boardwalk Empire" just doesn't cut it for me.
    It doesn't feel like the early 1920s.

    Consider:
    • A rock music theme! Really? What 20-something came up with that?
    • The slang and cursing is more accurate for 2012 than 1920! The script writers have no ear for the dialogue of the 1920s.

    Beyond that, I can't accept Steve Buscemi as a powerful criminal big-shot. He's more of a Barney Fife character.

    If they did the series right, I would be a fan. But I find myself much more attracted to "The Sopranos" — which at least is true to its era.

    There are a number of sources that state that swearing/cursing, even the F-word, was common in the 20s, and before and certainly after. Not in polite public, but in closed circles. You'll notice that the characters of BE use such language, for the most part, in non-public settings.
