The nothing plays under the end of Chalky's life and story, but it's close to the end of the series, too. Chalky was a great character, in many ways more the soul of the series than anyone except Nucky himself. He certainly didn't go in a good way last night. Rather, he went like a lamb to the slaughter, accepting his fate in a way which went against what we knew of his powerful character. His death scene at the end was more of a blow than the people literally being slaughtered like cattle last night on The Walking Dead, next door on AMC.
The other death was Van Alden. He was a tortured, miserable person from the get-go, and got just what he deserved from Al in Chicago. Indeed, the wonder with Van Alden is why he didn't get eliminated much sooner. Meanwhile, in the same scene, the survival of Eli doesn't make much sense. I'm glad he survived. But it's not plausible that he wasn't gunned down right after Van Alden.
Just two more episodes left.
