Shit, Nucky just keeps getting colder and colder eh?

Really cleverly done that they completely hoodwinked you into thinking that kid was going to become a regular character.

anyone watching now? i enjoyed last night, but just for the record, i'm not the only one who spends half of the episode thinking "who now", "who's that", "what deal, who?", am i?

I definitely haven't got all the NY guys straight in my head. Everyone else I'm pretty much OK with.

I dunno, he was a good character but in retrospect it seems that he was always heading towards destruction. I think it's great that shows nowadays are willing to sacrifice very major characters for the sake of a dynamic storyline.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Tuesday, 9 October 2012 14:04 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, that was really well done with the kid. At one point he flashed a smile that reminded me a lot of Michael Pitt and I was set in the, "oh Nucky is going to adopt this kid, isn't he?" mode. Oops.
The only time I've been getting confused wrt characters lately is the subplot with Lucky Luciano.

yeah that's the one I'm unsure of, though the al johnny torio stuff is confusing too. I also couldn't remember Nucky's stuff being robbed by that kid.
wish they'd just commence/end leprechaun schroder's affair with that doctor already, god it's tedious.

Her accent annoys me considerably, I can't imagine the effect it must have on an Irishman such as yourself.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Tuesday, 9 October 2012 14:13 (eleven years ago) link
it's the worst irish accent i've ever heard, i think. it also infects the character and stops any other feeling coming through apart from the simpering of the accent.
― Know how Roo feel (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 9 October 2012 14:16 (eleven years ago) link
I also find her over-perfect grammar pretty irritating.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Tuesday, 9 October 2012 14:17 (eleven years ago) link
PS You've obviously never heard my attempt at an Irish accent.

I like how Van Alden's thread is kid of developing into a pitch black farce. Much better use of him than sitting in an apartment with a screaming baby and the most annoying woman in the world.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 15 October 2012 15:19 (eleven years ago) link
I'm an episode behind -- goddamn the scenes with Capone and his little son got me good and teary. Dang.

okay so this might be a dumb question but is Jimmy's Mom REALLY unaware that he was murdered?
how did I miss that before now? I thought she knew.
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 18 October 2012 22:23 (eleven years ago) link
yeah I'm a bit confused about that too
― kinder, Thursday, 18 October 2012 22:24 (eleven years ago) link
unless she's a) completely gone round the loop and convinced herself she doesn't know or b) is writing the letters for someone else's benefit, somehow?
seems too weird that she doesn't know, given she was in on everything else
and didn't Uncle Jun/crazy whithaired old racist get scalped or was that a different crazy whitehaired old racist?
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 18 October 2012 22:48 (eleven years ago) link
ach i dunnoI mightve mentioned this before but despite ODing on the Sopranos p much simultaneously as watching this I still didn't recognise Uncle Jun for nearly the whole of season 1
― kinder, Thursday, 18 October 2012 22:52 (eleven years ago) link
she's in denial & is kinda crazy imo
like does she really think she's that kid's mom or is she just hoping that if she says it enough it'll ~become reality~. same thing with jimmy being not being dead - if she just believes it hard enough maybe he'll come home some day.
― Clay, Friday, 19 October 2012 02:12 (eleven years ago) link
yeah that seems plausible, given she was unhinged enough to fuck her own damn son in the first place

So what's Billie doing back in NY? I though the whole point of last week's shenanigans was to keep her in AC.

yeah I'm a bit confused about the billie thing, but also maybe I don't care as much as I should?

it's just a show guys

Oh sure, and I suppose Seinfeld was 'just a show' too? And 'The Bob Newhart Show' was also 'just a show'? And what about the battle of Verdun? Was that also 'just a show'?

did Teddy start the fire? I am confused.

Think it was deliberately ambiguous.

As soon as she said the word 'bath' I was thinking 'uh oh, someone's going to get drowned'. Loving this season.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 29 October 2012 17:01 (eleven years ago) link
That ep was really, really good. Oftentimes I feel this show's strengths are in the shallow, violent machinations side so I was a little surprised they managed to pull off the quieter, character episode (even though they have done this well enough from time to time before). Also Harrow is always good.
― Gukbe, Monday, 29 October 2012 17:08 (eleven years ago) link
My favourite character is a toss-up between him and Rothstein.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Monday, 29 October 2012 17:11 (eleven years ago) link
They need a spinoff show that is Rothstein & Harrow
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 29 October 2012 17:13 (eleven years ago) link
they should really just kill off everybody but harrow, rothstein, capone, and luciani, and have them just jam out in a basement for a couple seasons.

can we keep meyer lansky too? I like him a lot

Oh no, Billie!
Van Alden's freakout was so awesome. Also excellent multiple use of the word 'interloper'.
