According to Terrence Winter, it was always planned for Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) to be killed by Nucky" Thompson (Steve Buscemi), as a final payoff to Jimmy's warning to Nucky in the pilot ("You can't be half a gangster, not anymore.") However, Winter did not expect to kill Jimmy off as early as the second season. In an Archive of American Television interview, Winter explained that early to midway through the second season, Winter realized that the way the season was going, with Jimmy and Nucky turned against each other for control of Atlantic City, he realized that the only way the season could end was Nucky killing Jimmy, and thus completing his transformation to full gangster. Despite the backlash by fans of the series over killing a popular character, Winter stated that the uproar made him "more convinced than ever that we did the right thing."
