Mickey Doyle is entertaining as hell.

It's crazy how Gyp Rossetti has been in two episodes and already I think he's going to kill every person he interacts with. You never know when he's going to blow up and he seems capable of doing anything at any time.

Good to see Eli back, he seems to be building toward redemption. I never liked him really, but the second he stepped out of that prison, sniffing the air and looking at he nothing in front of him, I was on his side. I like him so much more and he'll do well with Owen (who is turning into one of my favorite characters) and Mickey. Owen seems to have a respect for Eli that is definitely going to work toward his advantage.

I can't remember the guy's name - Chalky's right hand man - but he has also grown on me.

Speaking of Chalky, I'm glad to see he's getting more screentime, even if it is that it's not as exciting as what is going on with everything else.

Billie Kent is naked and fun, but Nucky being in love with her and being jealous kind of bores me.

It seems like we can never get Chalky and Richard in the same episode. Gotta have 10 minutes of Margaret at the hospital trading barbs with some douche doctor.

:cano:

Seriously, what is that building to? The season finale going to be her in a heated medical board meeting argument?

I think the idea is that after speaking with the salty doctor and the broad who dropped her zygoat on the lobby floor, Margaret once again had the guilt filled epiphany that the woman's life could have easily been her life, if she had not sold out her morals to Nucky in exchange for her lavish lifestyle that she now takes for granted.

Or some shit like that. Obviously the entire series is building to the cresendo of Margaret finally making the full babyface turn and taking down Nucky. I've come to terms with this. Various babyfaces (Jimmy) & heels (The Commadore, Rossetti) will come and go to keep Nucky occupied, but in the end, Margaret will be the final protaganist. And it sucks.

Fuck. You are probably dead on. Going to be a shit ending.

don't know where they're going with chalky, but him & pernsley are f'ing awesome duo. like ron simmons & butch reed

I gotta gun. He's gotta gun. They got guns.

We all got guns.

Rosetti is probably the best character on the show. You never know when he's about to light a dude on fire or something.

I feel like everybody he talks to is about to die. When he was ordering that spaghetti I was like, nooooo bitch, don't talk to him like he's dumb! I thought she was dead for sure

LOL, I am glad I'm not the only one digging that character. He's so thin skinned and sensitive about everything. When he feels he is being talked down to he gets so visibly upset... Whoever he is having a conversation with at any time is always one pussy hair away from being fed a lead sammich.

 

[mgoblue2290]

While I still love the show, I think it peaked already. It just isn't the same without Jimmy in the mix.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I agree. The show is missing Jimmy badly because while flawed, he was a sympathetic figure and somebody worth rooting for. Margaret is supposed to be carrying that role, but everybody I talk to about the show can't stand her. Her scenes are THE DIRT WORST. Every time I see that hospital, I mentally check out and start to think about other shit, or get u and grab something to drink.

It's still a great show, but as I feared, it peaked when Nucky pulled that trigger. A classic, iconic, shocking televsision moment for sure. But one that probably would have been bettet served for the series finale. That would have been one hell of a way to end the show, with Jimmy fading to black.

Especially if they only did the show for maybe 4 seasons in total. Made the rift between Nucky and Jimmy happen more slowly and kept AC as the main focal point, while only very occasionally showing other cities. Then you end it like that, on a cold rainy night, Nucky shoots Jimmy and takes full control of AC and thats the end of show.

Don't get me wrong, I'll still watch because its a damn good show and I love the setting and that whole era. Plus it still has awesome characters. It just won't be what it could have been.

Rosetti is probably the scariest character on TV. For a dude to come unhinged as quickly as he does is freaking psycho - but DAMN good tv. I loved Doyle strong-arming that dude then getting the shit scared outta him by Harrow. I think Margaret is gonna go all woman's lib on this show. not sure I dig Nucky being so caught up with Billie.

 

[Palooza]

Will post my thoughts on the episode a little later, but I hate to have to agree with you guys, but I do. BE is still an AMAZING show, but what can it really do after settling the Jimmy/Nucky feud so early on in the series? We'll have awesome bad guys like Gyp Rossetti who will take out bits and pieces of Nucky's crew and cast of characters to keep the surprises in tact and keep us engaged, but ultimately, W2B is right - Margaret will take down Nucky, which SUCKS because she is such an unlikeable character, annoying character. I'm just going to enjoy the ride.

oh lord Nucky....

 

[BigHouseUSA]

I thought Sunday's was one of the best episodes of the series. Not disappointed at all about them killing off Jimmy, they've done exactly what I wanted to far. I don't see how you can compare the first episodes of a season to a finale, way too early to be making statements like that. Rosetti has been great, and Capone is only getting better

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Margaret and her hospital tampon chronicles is killing this fucking show. Enough already.

I'm hoping she starts getting it on with that doctor, then Nucky finds out and shoots them both. I know they didn't originally plan to kill Jimmy, so maybe they can work this in at some point.
