@@mistersinister2043 Jimmy's death was a last minute decision from what I've heard. The actor was apparently a huge dick behind the scenes so they quickly wrote him out of the show. From a narrative standpoint with what was happening in that season and Jimmy's character arc to that point, his death being on Nucky's order is the only thing that worked thematically, anything else would have felt lackluster and underwhelming. The season also quickly establishes that Jimmy was suicidal due to the trauma from his mother, as opposed to being overly-ambitious like he had been established as in season 1. He went to france to die, but managed to survive so he instead began taking insane risks and going against powerful people, obviously not caring about his own well-being. It was all or nothing with Jimmy. So it gave them a reasonable out that Harrow understood that Jimmy did it to himself and Nucky/Eli were just the noose he chose to hang himself with. Its a little sloppy, but what can you do when suddenly having to write one of the main characters out of the show. Also, this one is my own opinion and interpretation, but I got the feeling as that season went on that Harrow was starting to realize that Jimmy wasn't a good person, he was prone to violence with little provocations and very manipulative to people around him. He was an absentee dad and a bad husband to a wife that clearly never wanted to be with him in the first place (While yeah, she cheated on him, they were barely a couple and he fucked off to a war, never writing home. She assumed he was dead, or abandoned her and never planned to come home.) Like, I don't even know if Jimmy even considered Harrow a friend, or if every word Jimmy said was just to manipulate Harrow to do his dirty work for him (As Jimmy never has to return the favor, so we never see his friendship through actual actions.) Harrow even seems to suspect this, that Jimmy might see him as nothing more than another Lackey, asking him "Would you fight for me?" but Jimmy's response may just have been to placate Harrow and keep him in line, but we will never know as Jimmy never gets the opportunity to prove it.

Imagine seeing this as a kid. A half masked man who looks like something out of a nightmare half covered in blood turning a mansion into a haunted house one soul by one with each shot precise in the head, or shotgun to the chest. He doesn't speak, he walks quiet, he would be considered the real life boogeyman. Edit: Apparently some people have a hard time with reading comprehension and with what I wrote. I am fully aware the kid that's in this scene obviously knows him well and isnt afraid. What I meant was, IMAGINE one of, let's say the gangsters nephews or sons were staying the night there and then all this goes down. You have never met this man and all you see is him wearing half a face and he's soaked in blood whilst nailing each shot with no problem into each of the occupants brains or chest cavity and literally walking quiet as a a mouse, and you think for the rest of your life, you try to make sense of what that man was, since he looks like a creature to a child's mind. It would be like they witnessed a Boogeyman and that kid would tell that story everyday til the end of his days, and then his friends would tell it because it would be in the newspapers. That should be clear enough for anyone, even with the simplest of brains to understand now, right?

Part of what makes this a great scene is that up to that point, violence has been rather realistic. Normal shootout and fights. And then Harrow suddenly massacres an entire squad of gangsters. This is a very efficient way of showing his skills.

That unwavering and overpowering desire to reclaim the closest person he had to family. Harrow would've killed a thousand to retrieve Tommy. Notice how when Richard tells Tommy to close his eyes, he does so instantly without hesitation. Complete trust. How one knows at the end of things, Tommy loved the man. When Harrow dies unceremoniously under the pier, I think it was the only time in the show a tear rolled down my cheek. He deserved better, but it does add realism to the story. 'Fair' isn't something that exists.

They are tughs ruling with fear and violence over people that cannot defend themself, when a warrior shows up the get sloughtered.

Though not fully realistic ofc. It does add realism that Harrow was saved by the fact that the gangsters automatically assumed it was a full scale assault by many people. Spreading out and taking defensive positions. If they had known it was only him they would have gotten him rather easy. Surprise and panic plays a role but more importantly - they immediately acted on the premise there were multiple attackers. Which went heavily in Harrow's favor.
