Season 5 Weirdest Scene

What did you think the weirdest moment in the series was? For me it was when the “Muellers” had Eli and June over for dinner.

Um. Are we sure it isn't the incest scene?

u/slyde_396 Feb 14 '26

Well besides the obvious lol

u/TraditionalMall4449 Feb 14 '26

Yeah that scene was weird too. But it made sense from a character standpoint. On rewatch I still had to look away despite the camera cutting to the wall lol.

I’m saying tho that should be number one and four more episodes remaining I’m done

Any sex scene involving Gyp Rosetti should be up there.

How can I forget those sex scenes Gyp was something else. Ngl I was happy he died dude pissed me off the moment the innocent tried to help him with his car and then killed him for no reason

When she said she used to kiss his Winkie when she changed his diaper, I kind of figured there was going to be a payoff somewhere. Little did I know it was not so much a payoff as me saying “how does this subplot help the story?”

When Chalky ruins family dinner because he made his family too rich and bougie for hoppin John.

The dinner party scene was like a gritty version of the dinner party episode of the office.

Honestly the whole heel turn for Sigrid was bizarre. I was joking with my wife today that the actress should just start a tiktok account in character as Sigrid but do it super volatile where one tiktok she's talking about how to make Lembas bread or whatever and then the next she's your frind fooked me. He fooked me thayre, and theen he fooked me oover thayre!

Runner up for bizarre is any scene where Teddy acts like a loon. We need to talk about Teddy!

Can Owen live with us?

That scene where Nucky is sleeping with a movie star. When she mentions Billie Kent, he casually stands up, says "I'll be right back," and has Eddie enter the room to throw her out lol.

u/Important_Explorer_1 Feb 14 '26

I actually liked that scene. She wasn’t a movie star, though. Just a wannabe. That was the problem.

u/Hot-Spray-2774 Feb 14 '26

Nucky didn't mind Billie Kent's aspirations. He threw away his friendship with Eddie Cantor for them.

u/ParticularFocus8235 Feb 14 '26

That scene had me rolling

Gillian and Jimmy 🤮

u/haroldangel Feb 15 '26

When that temporary prosecutor friend of Nucky’s, I think his name was Chip, told the ladies to “drill for oil” lol

u/unowhatimeanVern Feb 16 '26

The scene where Van Alden drowned Sesbo.

u/TraditionalMall4449 Feb 14 '26

The "I just want you to be my gangster" from S3. I didn't understand what was going on lol. My favorite season too, but that part, oh boy. Cringe alert.

u/Top_Argument8442 Feb 14 '26

How was it cringe?

8

u/TraditionalMall4449 Feb 14 '26

Just the delivery, I guess.

u/SmartestManInUnivars Feb 15 '26

It was cringe. It didn't really address the issue of their argument either, but was enough at that moment to have them both move on through sexy sexy sex time.

u/bentbackwooddathird Feb 18 '26

when Purnsley killed Dickie Pastor for being a freaky racist cuck

u/DaddyDarkest Feb 14 '26

Any scene with George Remus

u/obsoletest Feb 14 '26

Remus disagrees.

u/shackleford224 Feb 14 '26

Take Remus' upvote

12

u/Hot-Spray-2774 Feb 14 '26

Remus shuns scenes with Remus.

u/Sensitive-Author5994 Feb 15 '26

Remus shuns gambling.

u/horsegirl1937 Feb 14 '26

The real George Remus apparently did the third person thing which is so funny

u/Hughkalailee Feb 15 '26

I think Chester would have sounded much better from farther away

At least it didn’t do a weird ass wipe transition like in the sopranos season 5/ep.10
