umm what?

Remember how Nucky was telling Jimmy that story about the past. Didn't he say Jimmy was ontop of his dads shoulder when he turned around to Nucky and asked what it took to be a president.
Nucky and Jimmy's dad were probably real good friends which would explain why Nucky treats him different. You're not gonna be so quick to kill your dead friends son especially if you kinda raised him.

I suppose technically if they had an affair then Jimmy could be Nucky's but if that's the case then the moms word would be just as good as the girls on The Maury Show.

Nucky isnt Jimmy's Dad... he might be like his uncle or something, maybe Nucky and Jimmy's dad were close... but he tells a story about being around Jimmy's dad when Jimmy was little..... asking about a president i think....?

either way great great show.....

 

[Houston]

yeah brah, I just said that

 

[Palooza]

Have you guys never watched a TV show or movie before? Just because someone has a "father" doesn't mean that's their real dad. Nucky easily could have been fucking around with Jillian behind her man's back.

 

[Houston]

Just reminding you in cause you forgot, if you still think it's his dad I don't care. I'm not gonna go against it, there's legit chance he is.


Kinda shocked yesterday when I realized there has only been 3 episodes, seems like alot has happened already.

sunday nights show was great. not alot by way of violence or anything. just straight forward moving of the overall story, but very well done.

if this show keeps up with the al capone aspect and includes more lucky luciano, then it will continue to be great.

honestly, the nucky stuff isnt all that intriguing to me. Steve Buschemi just isnt believable in that role

 

[NAHSTE]

Haven't caught the full episode yet, just flipped it on at the very end because I needed something to fall asleep to.

Only part I saw was Lucky flirting with some chick, and then she grabs his johnson and starts kissing him...tells him to meet her back there after the show.

Since I was half asleep and missed the events leading up to that scene, I gotta wonder, was that Jimmy's mah dukes? If so, that's fucking greasy.

Back in episode three when Jimmy is talking to his mom backstage she brings up Jimmys "Dad" and he gets pissed off and says, "I don't have a dad."

Another clue IMO.

Anybody else think at the end of the Opening Intro and Theme when the water and sand come off his shoes and their still freshly polished is probably the most amazingly signifying things. I absolutely love it.

 

Anyone else think the love interest between Lucky and Jimmy's mom is kinda dumb. I mean its gonna be interesting to see what happens but I think it's a weird drift off. I mean classic Martin Scorsese and Terrence Winter stylistic writing would be to Kill off Lucky or Jimmy in a jealous rage or self defensive rage. Thing is Lucky Luciano is a real life person, so he wont die and Jimmy is the main character beside Nucky Thompson so he has to at least survive till later seasons. So this is gonna be wierd.

 

[Palooza]

I think Jillian is going to get killed sometime this season.

 

[Archbomber]

I think Jillian is going to get killed sometime this season.

 

I think Lucky might kill her

 

[kyhadley]

I felt like she only came on to him so that he wouldn't kill her.

edit: nvm

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

the part when he slashed thats girls face was nasty. she was hot too.

al capone is great character. dont know if its a accurate portrayal of him but entertaining nonetheless

and lol@ jimmys mom about to get syphilis

edit - and one part i didnt quite get was when that irish broad was walking down the boardwalk and it zoomed in on a newspaper that said "russian princess exposed as fake" or something like that. that one went over my head.

 

[Maynard]

 

lol....she is fucking around with him to protect her son. Remember, he came to their house looking for jimmy....jimmys mom answered the door and knew something was up

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

is there really a need for spoiler tags? the show aired sunday and even if you wait to download it like i do, its always out by today. i know better enough than to click on this thread if i havent seen the episode yet.

sidenote - nuckys girlfriend needs to have more nude scenes.

 

[Maynard]

i agree....but we should at least change the thread title to say expect spoilers

 

[Archbomber]

al capone is great character. dont know if its a accurate portrayal of him but entertaining nonetheless.

The beauty of Al Capone during this time is that it's vaguely known about it minus he worked for Torrey. That's why its awesome because you get to see how he became the man he was when he died. I also think its fucking awesome how they tie in his lying about being in WW1 with the scars.

Also I think Jimmy's mom is not smart enough to be doing it to "help" Jimmy. I think she's doing it to just fuck Lucky cause she likes assholes. I mean in the next episode she's telling Jimmy's wife to leave Jimmy lmao!

It's suppose to signify her want for a fairytale life... When she see's its a hoax it brings her down to earth...

good point. she seems to dig the lifestyle nucky leads, and it looks like she wants more of it.

And Public Enemies...

Congrats, you found Google and IMDb... LOL
