Two issues.
One, the relationship between the Commodore and Gillian. I am not so sure Nucky handing her over to the Commodore was the worst thing. The Commodore and Gillian became a couple and he took care of her. That's what Gillian wanted. When Jimmy was taking over AC she was so proud of him. He was living up to the Commodore's expectations and taking back from Nucky what was rightfully their family's.
Two, Nucky killing Jimmy. It was a mercy killing. Jimmy had fought Nucky and lost. He was backed into a corner. He was already dead inside having died in the battlefields of Europe during WW1. He told Richard as much when he went to meet Nucky knowing full well he woudl die there.
That's why with all these twists and turns the ending is not sitting right with me. At the time these seasons were happening it was not portrayed that Nucky had done something terrible to Gillian or that Nucky wasn't doing Jimmy a favor by killing him.

it wasn't portrayed as anything...it could've been he married a 13 year old girl, but it was just one of those weird things...all we knew is that nucky plucked her out of the crowd at the commodore's behest...now what we know that we didn't when just the factual information was given in one sentence of dialogue
1. the commodore was a serial pedophile
2. the commodore "hurt" children
3. Nucky's relationship with Gillian at the time. she wasn't a stranger
4. WHY nucky handed her to the commodore
5. Nucky knew what she was in for when he gave her to the commodore
6. Nucky LIED to her.
It was all very revealing and after 2 seasons of wondering why Gillian was in the show, I now appreciate it. She is the emotional glue and that one event between her and nucky set all of the events (season 1-5) into motion. It simply doesn't exist without her

The ending doesn't sit well with me either. Tommy killing Nucky might have been some slight justice but it was misplaced and now Tommy will probably die or go to prison for a long time.
Now that I'm thinking about it, tommy went to live with Richards girl up north right? I would have thought that he was "saved" from this life and would be a good guy. I hoped the cycle of violence wouldn't continue with him. Sad
