    When Chalky greets Richard behind the club, there is a poster visible on the wall for a wrestling show at the "Steel Pier Arena", with Danny Boy Kuchar vs. Killer M.Lee Beck. Obviously this peaked my interest.

    I did some research, and could not find and wrestlers who billed themselves as "Danny Boy Kuchar" or "Killer M.Lee Beck". The only show I found that was ever held at the old Atlantic City Steel Pier Arena was a 1979 WWF show with Baron Mikel Scicluna vs SD Jones, The Valiant Brothers vs Tito Santana & Ivan Putski, and a Nikolai Volkoff vs Steve Travis. The amusement park across from Taj Majal now occupies that pier these days. I don't know when the old arena was torn down, but it was well before my time, as all I can ever remember is the amusement park & ferris wheel.

    So it appears they made this one up. But man, Danny Boy Kuchar vs Killer M.Lee Beck sure sounds authentic.

          So Ron Livingston character seems up to something, any guesses?

            My guess is he's working for an investment group that wants to buy the house. Kind of like some shady land grab scheme you'd see in Deadwood.

              Yeah, he's a definite shadeball. The house angle is the only one that makes sense/I can come up with, so there's an ounce of interest in that storyline. Still hoping Richard kills Gillian; from the preview it looks like she confronts Richard and tries to take Tommy.

                He won't kill her. Or at least he won't want to. I think he's done with all that.

                  I think it's some sort of scam where he gets a fraction of a cent per bank transaction, an amount so little that nobody notices, but over time equals a large sum of money.

                    I came thisclose to saying "It's like Superman 3" in my initial reply to this question. Now I regret not doing it.

                        If only Narcisse had been included last season. Him and Gyp in a scene together would've been intense.

                          I always love when the Pinkertons show up.

                          Why did Uncle Junior turn Gillian in? I couldn't make out what he was saying when they were arresting her.

                                He said he owed it to the commodore, implying that he knew of Gillian's involvement in the commodore's death.
