I like the flashbacks, nothing can top capone though..

I am OK with the flashbacks, but they should have come much earlier in this series. Waiting until the final season to get everyone fully vested in Nucky's character just seems redundant at this point. The flashbacks now just seem like filler so the stars don't have as much screen time and/or the writers can avoid having to tell much of the story (AR's death) about the other characters that were vital in the organized crime world.
