BS that Owen doesn't eve die on screen.

 

[Glenbino]

Had to happen that way.. its the only way to bring all the elements of the crate opening they wanted together.

Yeah it sucks, he deserved a better send off, but as Glen said, this was necessary to get the reveal effect of Margaret's reaction. Great acting in that scene by Buscemi and Macdonald.

 

[Argath]

Is it that or is it because Nucky killed him and wanted Margaret to see?


I'm just playing devils advocate here but we never actually saw Masseria or however you spell it at the bath house IIRC just Owen inside for a second. I know Lucky let Masseria know there would be an attempt on his life but there's no way he knew it would be at the bath house. The only people who knew were the random fuck with the info, Eli, Mickey and Owen.


Edit: I just rewatched it. Owen checked into the bath house with the random dude with the info and they got 2 towels so the dude stayed. Why wasn't the dude in the crate as well?

He's a fed so killing him would bring heat.

He could still be dead too but sending him in a box to Nucky would seem kind of pointless next to Owen.

The episode set us up for all out war to close the season and I :cantwait:. Even Margaret is probably on board to avenge Owen.

Probably my favorite Gyp episode so far. Every scene with that goofy cousin gave me a little rush because you knew he was going down.

BTW my prediction, Richard kills Rosetti.

No. Richard's life of violence is done. He will continue to have nice moments with his girlfriend and Tommy until they leave for the family farm at the end of the season. I have fully convinced myself this will happen.

Although, you're probably right. I can see Richard making some sort of deal with Nucky for a large sum of money to kill off their enemies. They have to be keeping him around for something big. I could also see Gyp's right hand man killing him for what he did to his cousin.

Please, oh, please don't give Richard the "just one last job, then I'm OUT" storyline because that will surely mean the death of him. In the history of fiction, the "ONE LAST JOB" has a 0% success rate.

Obviously, just wish they did it a different way.

I don't think Nucky knew what was going on between them until seeing her reaction to his body. A nice theory though.

 

[Matt]

Owen face was freaky...if that was in a scary movie I probably would be haunted for days...


Freakin rats Meyer and Lucky.....all for some heroine

Yeah.

Buscemi nailed that fucking scene. You could see his subtle facial expressions the moment he realizes that Owen was banging out his wife. That stuff is so easy to go overboard on. But Nucky is a con man and it was just subtle enough to be believable, while also not playing his hand to Margaret. Awesome stuff.

 

[RyanLeaf16]

Watched the episode last night. I agree, it is the only way that Owen could go out. I really liked his character though, so I am sad to see him go.

I agree with all of you, Buscemi nailed it during that scene. His reaction was spot-on. The only thing I think Margaret could try and explain away is that she doesn't want that life for her children and her reaction was based more off of that, rather than an affair. I don't see the writers trying to go that route though. I think it will simply be an understanding between Nucky/Margaret and I feel like his comment about a "new start" was a bit of foreshadowing for their relationship moving forward.

Gyp is gonna eat it before this season is over. He is too unpredictable for any of the bosses to trust for a long period of time and it's bad for business. We still haven't seen the rise of Capone just yet either.

That's what I'm waiting for :fap:

holy shit that was awesome

 

[Leftwich]

Al fucking Capone.

 

[NAHSTE]

AMAZING episode. So many classic one-liners.

"What happened to him?" ... "What happens to everybody, only sooner."
"How should I address you?" ... "You doin' it"
"We been on the road 18 hours. Need a bath, some chow, and then you and me uhs gonna sit down and talk about who dies."

 

[mgoblue2290]

Next week is going to be insane. Full on war between Nucky and Gyp. Not to mention it looks like Richard is about to go on a rampage WHICH HE WILL COMPLETE SUCCESSFULLY AND GO BACK TO THE FARM TO HAVE A NICE FAMILY LIFE.

 

[Matt]

Oh my lord. My Under Armour sweatpants have never been so tight like when Capone came in at the end. One of the greatest lines I've ever heard on television.


Richard bringing out the guns. TREMENDOUS
