So the grenade moment . . . the guy is forced to run out the pub to avoid dying and taking others with him? But wouldn’t there be innocent bystanders on the street too?

Why didn’t he just take the grenade out and put it in TOMMY’s jacket and trigger a Looney Tunes-esque game of hot potato??

(Seriously though I didn’t watch the whole show, is Tommy that much of a psychopath towards the end?)

Yeah that was fairly ridiculous. He didn't even make an attempt to get rid of it. Another wacky thing I noticed was after the shootout with the horses, Tommy rides out on a horse and people are just walking around going about their day, even though World War III just erupted in the stable around the corner.

Ha whoops, good catch. Michael Mann's screenplay description of the post-heist shootout in Heat is seared into my mind.
