Nucky is such a prick. The character is like a child with how he dotes after Billie Kent. I bet she's just using him anyway.

Registered 4 years agoLike Margaret said, he's picked the wrong one this time, she really doesn't need him, so he can't play his usual shining knight daddy role.Playing all the right notes— but not necessarily in the right order.

Registered 2 years agoa bit similar to tony soprano, he's a prick with a show wife. also he tries to help that young russian, puts in for a modelling job for her etc.
but then when he tries to sympathise with the one-legged russian, she is strong and brushes him aside, to which he is surprised.
also margaret is like carmela, with her little side-tasks to keep her busy. carm's spec house vs maggies gyn class. -

Registered 10 years agoAlso, I don't care one iota about the romantic storylines on this.
I don't care about Margaret's relationships, I don't care about Billie Kent, I don't care about Harrow's potential love interest, Gillian Darmody is just creepy etc.
Just give me nothing but gun battles, bootlegging, dodgy politics, Eli, Mickey, Rosetti, Rothstein, Lansky, Capone. Reemus, O'Banion, Means...XBL: rolemodel86 PSN: Syrette86

Registered 2 years agoseconded. hope margaret gets blasted or something. she's like melfie in the soprano's - a stick in the mud.
boring this week should guarantee an exciting episode next week... gyp's responsive most likely

really? I loved this week as I do most weeks.
I do agree though the Margaret needs to shot, very irritating.
Love it when Capone is in any episode. -

This is easily the best thing on TV at the moment now that Breaking Bad is between seasons. Every episode is a masterpiece. -

Registered 6 years agoAwesome episode indeed. Finally a payoff from the Van Alden arc, I was getting terribly bored with him, he's seemed ready to crack for so long. Culminated in a great scene, they were scared of him as if he might have been the incredible hulk or something other-worldly.
Could also read Al Capone's mind as he was grinning at Torrio.
Rosetti just does not do subtle or half measures does he? Really looking forward to how that pans out and the season in general, roll on next week! -

Registered 6 years agoJust a random musing, this show has had a similar length run to The Walking Dead, and yet this has 8 pages of discussion compared to 60 odd.
WTF >.<
Edit - I guess TWD might have had better TV exposure initially, but still, meh.

Registered 1 year agoVery good episode this week with an explosive finish. Have to agree with most of what people have been saying. The Margeret thing is pretty dull, even the affair this is pretty meaningless as Nook is having it away with the actress broad.
It's been a good season overall, the new characters are working out well and it seems story lines are boiling up in multiple directions seperatly for weeks now. My favourite show at the moment by far.Vita: GameOverYeah

Registered 4 years agoI love the Van Alden arc, his "wife" is brilliant, so pragmatic. I wonder if he is lost forever from his puritan path or if he can pull off some amazing mole job and be returned to the Bureau?
Gillian is such a piece of work, the funeral scene was awkward, Harrow's contempt is mounting.
All the threads, spinning & twisting... makes me wonder just how many seasons this will run?Playing all the right notes— but not necessarily in the right order.

Luciano, Lansky and Capone aren't big players yet like they became in reality. Definitely hinting at Capone moving up in the world in this ep though.XBL: rolemodel86 PSN: Syrette86

Registered 4 years agoOh yes - his boss has lost the fight since the visit to Europe. Definitely time for Al to step up. That meeting in the knacker's yard was hilarious - probably partly because the other boss reminds me of Richie Cunningham from Happy Days.Playing all the right notes— but not necessarily in the right order.

Registered 2 years agoawesome episode. laughed at nucky snapping at eddie, calling him 'bismarck' and he thought chalky was a shoe shiner
chalky needs to come back. maybe he can rally some men after nucky's snub.

Registered 10 years agoAmazing episode. Utterly gripping from first to last, masterfully directed.
The whole Owen thing had me almost clapping it was so good. I love the use of juxtaposed light when Margaret had her conversations with Nucky and Owen respectively. It was kind of building up to someone happening to her and Owen in terms of their relationship, I think Margaret knew something like this would happen if they didn't leave sooner rather than later and it's exactly why she wanted to leave. Fascinated to see what happens with her and Nucky now he realises she was having an affair. Not to mention her pregnancy.
Wonder what Rothstein will do now Lansky and Luciano have betrayed him. Also what Capone plans for Van Aalden.
Also pondering whether Rosetti's guy is going to turn on him after that. Hopefully he will.

Registered 4 years agoI love how as the series builds it appears to set everything up to play out one way and then continually throws up more questions and challenges and bad decisions and chances. It's like watching a chess game that turns into a knife fight. On the edge of a volcano. No way of knowing how anyone will come out of it, although probably best to not be a love interest of a main character.Playing all the right notes— but not necessarily in the right order.

Registered 3 years agoI've just finished series 1 after almost forcing myself through the last few episodes. The writing feels a decade or so out of date, but I love the setting. Even if the blue screens are a little rushed looking at times.
Is series 2 (and onwards) more of the same? I really dont care enough about any of the characters after 12 hours for that to carry me through alone. The only one thats even remotely interesting is the sniper guy with half a face. Says a lot considering how little screen time he's had. -

Registered 4 years agoI think both writing and performances have got better with each series, so I'd advise sticking with it. There is more of the guy you like, and it develops nicely after the first series' scene-setting.Playing all the right notes— but not necessarily in the right order.

Registered 9 years agoThat scene on the beach with Gyp and the shovel was hard to watch. Infact almost every scene with him is really intense. Always feels like horrifying violence is a heartbeat away.
Loving it.Valar morghulis.

Registered 2 years agostill say chalky should get a more starring role. he could replace owen, and would have leverage with his plans for a club or whatever it was.
don't know how both of those would work, being black, but surely chalky has still to get a more prevalent role. especially now nucky has more enemies. who else is there? chalky and the other black guy would fit the bill.
beach scene was hilarous. eh franko? camera pans round... -
