So it was fitting that the finale finished much like the premiere started, as Gyp met his demise not far from where we first saw him spill blood. He came unhinged to say the least as his voice went a few octaves higher calling to mind when <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADrojCw6amM" target="_blank">Judge Doom revealed to Eddie that he was actually a Toon</a>. And he did it while <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOHg5uuZjwY" target="_blank">carrying a tune</a> and looking like the King of Pop. <br />

"Margate Sands" brought closure to many of the story lines to which we were treated over the past few months, thanks to an array of twists and turns that made for a thrilling conclusion.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/bemps3finale/?action=view&current=tumblr_meg56cEFue1qcf7ifo1_5001.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="224" src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/bemps3finale/tumblr_meg56cEFue1qcf7ifo1_5001.gif" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Arnold Rothstein showed Lucky Luciano he still has a lot to learn when it comes to the world of criminal enterprise, but it looked like school will be back in session for Arnold soon enough after falling into the heavily-baited trap Nucky set for him. What a great surprise to see Mr. Means behind Melon's call to Esther Randolph. He was worth every dollar Nucky paid him this season.<br />
Lucky had two of my favorite scenes of the episode. First when didn't rat while getting shaken down by the cops.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglE3sLei0GK2Z6NRO8ZG2Rdb3ooMxtYkuBn2v_q20OxKUudkUbrNn96of5vftrZAOdGYebsy8JPr6_FWSzl1LTdZtOqtNbrMOszTzJLpt4Y6IPN98fgpXMp-KFw_LDPN_2JBsbqFiMUaU/s1600/a1h.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglE3sLei0GK2Z6NRO8ZG2Rdb3ooMxtYkuBn2v_q20OxKUudkUbrNn96of5vftrZAOdGYebsy8JPr6_FWSzl1LTdZtOqtNbrMOszTzJLpt4Y6IPN98fgpXMp-KFw_LDPN_2JBsbqFiMUaU/s400/a1h.jpg" tea="true" width="400" /></a></div>
And later as he lost his proverbial sh-t when he realized it was Rothstein that sold him out. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-kcJOSK-COuEcYAetm2PESYA7sNvXyJcMFISRQpPaDUXFgn6eBzHqEh2wd5rYO9pfvxQOMuqjwKebIRUC1G7__qQeCaz6UGa1crh-0Do8DI-K8UDjgSLFNojOEsp_WT5fZD5cvAISDCI/s1600/a1j.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-kcJOSK-COuEcYAetm2PESYA7sNvXyJcMFISRQpPaDUXFgn6eBzHqEh2wd5rYO9pfvxQOMuqjwKebIRUC1G7__qQeCaz6UGa1crh-0Do8DI-K8UDjgSLFNojOEsp_WT5fZD5cvAISDCI/s400/a1j.jpg" tea="true" width="323" /></a></div>
With Rothstein most likely out of the picture, look for Lucky and Meyer to resolve their differences and start in again on their aspirations. I wouldn't be surprised to see the two partner up with Nucky at some point, either. <br />
<br />
Nucky was worried he would be persona non grata after the smoke cleared... but Eli was right. All they have to do is offer the people something they want and they will be willing to look past certain things. Maybe that will be booze, maybe drugs or even entertainment in the form of Chalky's club.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyPn5tGHzcZNsFkEg4HCRpaI3ahXiH8bbvztqJYIBvAVFjQOCBzkwnTq7tgNxD-RP7IIXbYILSogg_7J_ZA4iaZOcBXMo2P92ykirzrksxmHhoAXiHLpMzbWu-4sVlsiMuGPCtORd2arc/s1600/a1b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyPn5tGHzcZNsFkEg4HCRpaI3ahXiH8bbvztqJYIBvAVFjQOCBzkwnTq7tgNxD-RP7IIXbYILSogg_7J_ZA4iaZOcBXMo2P92ykirzrksxmHhoAXiHLpMzbWu-4sVlsiMuGPCtORd2arc/s400/a1b.jpg" tea="true" width="400" /></a></div>
What a scene that was as Chalky and Capone squared off in the lumber yard and later on as they both got their urge to fight out of their systems by blowing away Masseria's men.<br />

Richard also had an itch to scratch which had everyone celebrating. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He sure made short work of the men that stood between him and Tommy. <br />

I don't think things will ever be the same between him and Julia, not after he brought his work home with him in the form of a blood-covered face. <br />

Tommy was safe, though, and that was all Richard really cared about. I just hope that doesn't mean he will finish <a href="http://www.littlebigpicture.co.uk/media/2011/Dec/endofyearlist/richard-harrow-boardwalk-empire.jpg" target="_blank">what he tried to do back in the woods</a>.<br />
<br />
Margaret faced a tough decision but appeared to have <a href="http://youtu.be/Q2T6M_IMU9E?t=22s" target="_blank">"taken care of it."</a> I'm pretty sure the bleeding we saw was residual.<br />
<br />
Nucky was willing to forgive her dalliance with Owen and welcome her and the children home. She turned him down, but I think we'll see her back in Atlantic City by next season ordering up room service. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/bemps3finale/?action=view&current=tumblr_mdtgd3hLS91qh9dubo1_2501.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="259" src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/bemps3finale/tumblr_mdtgd3hLS91qh9dubo1_2501.gif" width="400" /></a></div>
Eli and Nucky appeared to be back on good terms, but there was that moment of silence which followed as Eli asked Nucky where Margaret and the kids had gone to hide while they worked on the car. Nucky still did not trust his brother completely at that point. By the end I think he did and now wants to go to the mattresses for a spell. He showed that by taking off the carnation in that closing scene. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpn9mtyo6lWMl2AHa0DrKIrN0x9qLS5smzXKgSDzXYm4nU1mT269pgp4JI6P_FQMeSHsL8fLgvBXZoMPE962JyjbOyUwnBfb_7DbDmIFBxM5h1SZGtik6sRrkWPqsqyMEepEhH9IzbRJA/s1600/a1a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpn9mtyo6lWMl2AHa0DrKIrN0x9qLS5smzXKgSDzXYm4nU1mT269pgp4JI6P_FQMeSHsL8fLgvBXZoMPE962JyjbOyUwnBfb_7DbDmIFBxM5h1SZGtik6sRrkWPqsqyMEepEhH9IzbRJA/s320/a1a.jpg" tea="true" width="281" /></a></div>
He wants out of the public eye. Look for Eli's oldest son to get involved in the family business. Heck Eli has so many kids they could be like Frank Lucas and his family only letting blood work for em. <br />
<br />
For all the loathsome things Gillian has done, I very much enjoyed seeing how diabolical she was as she masterfully played Gyp. First she tried to appeal to his sense of family.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But after that didn't work, she went in another direction that almost did. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinahNz-bjD4QDcTC1Ro_5Y8MpRJsFGh_51RxAYBulRLqHsU6-TMW6OZgQ1LQGe8_-aefKCl3YD9msbAhGHkTDlh6BHbSrZLCUw9GrsQ1xfZ9srkEqyeOzw_pS9gU4P5MRPng0RBTi5zUM/s1600/a1d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinahNz-bjD4QDcTC1Ro_5Y8MpRJsFGh_51RxAYBulRLqHsU6-TMW6OZgQ1LQGe8_-aefKCl3YD9msbAhGHkTDlh6BHbSrZLCUw9GrsQ1xfZ9srkEqyeOzw_pS9gU4P5MRPng0RBTi5zUM/s400/a1d.jpg" tea="true" width="400" /></a></div>
Perhaps the line of the night was her response to Gyp calling her a pistol.<br />
"Then why don't you pull my trigger and see what shoots out?" <br />
<br />
In her opium-infused state, Gillian traveled back to the night Nucky delivered her to the commodore and did well to remind us that while she is one seriously disturbed woman, there were those who certainly had a hand in her troubled mental state.<br />
<br />
And lastly, the long shot of the year, defied all odds and came in.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So are we to believe it was Mickey who let Rothstein know about Owen's plans to kill Masseria at the bath house who in turn told Masseria to help broker their new peace along with the drug deal? We never saw the crooked FBI agent who we had originally pinned it on. It would make sense given how Mickey was able to ring up A.R. from PA. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
All in all it was a tremendous season that left the door open for any number of possible scenarios. The season's MVP has to go to Rosetti, who week in and week out provided the best Boardwalk Empire quotes - and tonight was no exception.<br />
I so have enjoyed yet another season with you all. Until Season 4...<br />

With only one episode remaining in <em>Boardwalk Empire</em> Season 3, "Two Imposters" spent a lot of time setting the stage for the finale.<br />
For a man who is accustomed to eating his meals with silver, Nucky showed he was no <a href="http://youtu.be/1plPyJdXKIY?t=9s" target="_blank">geek off the street and pretty handy with the steel</a> when it came time to regulate.<br />

He also showed his character when he made getting Eddie to a hospital his top priority. Was it odd he had no idea about his loyal servant's family? Sure, but his affection for the man who has stayed by his side was very admirable considering the threat on his own life.<br />

The scene where Nucky yelled at the hospital chief was just great and was my first addition to this week's list of best <a href="http://www.tvfanatic.com/quotes/shows/boardwalk-empire/" target="_blank">Boardwalk Empire quotes</a>.<br />

After being absent for much of the season, Chalky White's recent return to the front lines has been excellent. He has defied the odds his entire life and has looked good doing it. Gyp Rosetti was told Chalky was the man to speak to on the far side of town. Despite Chalky's sharp dress, Gyp seemed to look at him like he was the human equivalent of the dilapidated house from where he emerged. Chalky showed he is no stranger to backhanded comments, however, as he fired back that Gyp wasn't done cooking yet when the Italian mocked him.<br />

Chalky could have also told Nucky to get stuffed numerous times, but having met the alternative, I think his decision to back Nucky was easily made. Just days prior, Nucky had turned him down cold when the club idea came up, but Chalky knows how things are and just how much pride he has to swallow to get what he wants. Nucky is still alive thanks to him, and the price tag will be hefty. <br />

I loved their little exchange at the lumber yard where Nucky mused about the two being stuck with each other followed by the close up on their handshake. Lets just hope nothing causes their new feeling of brotherhood to break apart. <br />

The return of Chalky also meant the return of Don Purnsley, "Mr. Droopy Eye" himself. After the roadside shootout, Nucky and Chalky started talking about just how much this whole escape was going to cost. Don P. knew that it wasn't a good idea to stand around in the middle of the road talking numbers, so he dropped this little line (Pictured Below to bring them back to reality. In essence he was saying <a href="http://youtu.be/nl_ydH4B-18?t=1m37s" target="_blank">it ain't cool being no jive turkey so close to Thanksgiving</a> fellas, let's get goin. </div>

While Nucky and Chalky discussed a last stand, Richard was preparing to wage a war of his own. He endured insult after insult from his batty boss, but when Gillian moved to keep him and Tommy apart, a switch was flipped.<br />

Jimmy deserved better than what he got at the hands of his mother and Richard will be damned if he is going to let Tommy suffer the same life. Richard and Tommy are meant to be together and pulling them apart is not going to go over well. <br />

Meanwhile, back in New York, Lucky and Meyer have been having about as much success in the dope game as Margaret had with her maternity classes. Lucky usually defers to Meyer on matters of the mind, but Lucky's gut was riddled with worry about the money they owed and forced him into a bad decision. How did he not see all those lawmen hiding on the roof? Were they members of the Foot Clan? If Masseria is the source of Lucky's problems, it would make sense that he and Meyer align with Nucky if the opportunity or need to pick a side arrives.<br />

We know where Chicago is hanging its hats thanks to a surprise visit from Al Capone, in what was one of my favorite scenes of the season. Capone and Nucky are from different generations and might not see eye to eye on a lot of things, but they both know opportunity when they see it and for that Capone is ready to spill some Italian red.<br />
<br />
With just one episode remaining, this mostly was a set up episode, but was necessary. What bothered me were a few other things. <br />
Gillian was more painful than ever. <br />

Like Chris rock once said, I'd never hit a woman, never ever ever...but I'd shake the sh-t out of Gillian if I got the chance. Maybe Julia will step up and give Scarlett O'Horrible what she deserves. <br />

<br />
Speaking of people who needed to get shook...while it was cool thinking under fire for Chalky to summon Samuel, I was a little surprised at the kid's gall. When a man like Chalky White tells you to jump, you ask how high.<br />
<br />
Lastly I was shocked to find myself growing tired of Gyp's routine: "I'm pitching my tent hi-ho!" I think that general's hat is too tight and preventing the blood from getting to his head. <br />

Two episodes of <em>Boardwalk Empire</em> Season 3 remain, but it will be difficult for either to top "A Man, A Plan." It had just about everything a fan of the show's heart could desire, as nearly every major character was featured.<br />

The opening scene on the beach could have been the subject of a Norman Rockwell painting, as Richard carried two ice cream cones toward Julia and Tommy, who were busy making sand castles. All of a sudden, though, the mood shifted and the beach reminded me of those scenes in <em>Jaws</em> where everyone stood to look at the ocean with that confused look on their faces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This time it was the cry of "WHISKEY" - not "SHARK" - that sent the beach goers into a frenzy and had them running <em>into</em> the water instead of out.<br />
<br />
Richard no doubt had flashbacks of Angela as he saw his new crush sitting there next to his ward. Julia's father is no Jimmy, however, and Richard dealt with him appropriately when Julia's virtue and his war wound were insulted. <br />

I simply could not get enough of Richard's assertiveness this week. Whether it was choke slamming the man who could end up being his father-in-law or making his move with Julia on the beach, I would have paid way more than a dime to see additional scenes of that caliber.<br />

Fatherhood was a constant theme tonight. It played a big part in the latest addition to Gyp Rosetti's body count. From the moment he opened his mouth about the rogue waves, you knew Franco's days were numbered, but his initial explanation to Gyp about what happens to the sea when the wind shifts was a very telling part of this week's list of Boardwalk Empire quotes. The tide has turned in Atlantic City, setting Nucky and Gyp on a collision course, the fallout of which already has affected many others.<br />
<br />
Lucky and Meyer may have had a partner in Nucky, but because of recent shifts in alliances, they were stuck between a <em>Roth</em> and a hard place. Yes, Arnold Rothstein turned the two entrepreneurs down, but he did it with sick swagger, didn't he? <br />

His speech about the break off shot in snooker, and then walking away from the table having perfectly demonstrated it, was a great illustration of his point that a deal will always wait but fools will always rush in. Too bad Nucky wasn't privy to the same advice.<br />
<br />
Also I'm pretty sure it is impossible to talk about doing ANYTHING in a bathhouse and not sound sexual. <br />

Information is power, but is can also prove deadly in the wrong hands. For a second time this season lives were lost when a character seeking their own interest divulged valuable intel to a highly motivated party. Recently Billie Kent and others were killed thanks to Gillian's loose lips and here Owen's attempt on Masseria's life went topsy turvy after Lucky shared Nucky's plot in order to secure a partner for he and Meyer's heroin deal.<br />
<a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/owenbyebye/?action=view&current=tumblr_mdq7l5F3SL1qgp6v5o1_2501.gif" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/owenbyebye/tumblr_mdq7l5F3SL1qgp6v5o1_2501.gif" /></a><a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/owenbyebye/?action=view&current=tumblr_mdq7l5F3SL1qgp6v5o2_2501.gif" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/owenbyebye/tumblr_mdq7l5F3SL1qgp6v5o2_2501.gif" /></a> <br />
Prior to the news of his unborn heir, I'm pretty sure Owen's plans to walk away from his life of crime did not include Margaret or Katie. He told them both something they wanted to hear, but I think always planned on disappearing from both of their lives. We will never know the full truth of course, but I'm confident Margaret will learn of the promise made to Katie by her cryptic lover. <br />
<br />
With them both in their PJ's and the angle of the camera I had to laugh at where my mind went when Eddie woke up Nucky in the middle of the night. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My laughter turned to shock of course moments later. <br />
While Margaret's stock has decreased in value each time the maternity clinic has taken up valuable screen time this season, her reaction upon seeing Owen's lifeless and battered body in the box was some of Kelly MacDonald's best acting to date. <br />

Masseria could have saved a ton on shipping if he had just sent Owen's head <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1giVzxyoclE&feature=related" target="_blank">like Kevin Spacey did in <em>Seven</em></a>, but maybe it was one of those Fedex Flat Rate boxes... "if it fits it ships."</div>

Margaret's hysterics were so convincing that they might prove to be her undoing as it was clear Nucky's eyes were opened to what has been happening under his roof. The question that remains is whether or not Nucky is so desperate for a "normal" relationship that he will be willing to forgive his wife and make good on his promise to set things right in their life together.<br />
<br />
Nothing on that front will likely be dealt with until Nucky's business with Rosetti and Masseria is concluded. Nucky stood a chance last week after Masseria told Gyp that his problems in Atlantic City were his own, but now Gyp will most definitely have his boss's army at his disposal. My feeling is Nucky's only chance to survive this battle will be to enlist the aid of Chalky White and his supporters. Chalky's idea to add a little color to the boardwalk club scene was a sound one and will come to fruition I think once Nucky realizes Chalky is his only hope, a real Obi Wan Bro-nobi.<br />

The above was one of the more emotional moments for me this week. Chalky came to Nucky literally with his hat in hand and excitedly proposed his new business idea. Nucky dismissed him saying A.C. wasn't Harlem and people there aren't ready for that kind of integration even if the color was only on stage. Why is it hard for Chalky to accept the way things are Nuck? You try being treated like dirt your whole life, not even like a second class citizen. Chalky is okay to call on when you need someone shaken down, or to do business with in dark places people don't like to talk about, but when he comes to you with a real business idea that would make him legit, you tell him his kind need not apply. It's like<a href="http://youtu.be/UyyU6eSROnc?t=1m28s" target="_blank"> that interlude in the Dr. Dre song</a> that says "that's what they told us today, in otherwords, you're still a slave, no matter how much money you got, you still ain't sh-t!" Break em off somethin' Chalk! <br />
<br />
Chalky had certainly thought his new business idea through, but the same could not be said for Van Alden and his Norwegian venture. I assumed the men who picked up Cicero George were O'Banion's boys, so I was thrilled to see it was actually Al Capone flexing his muscle. Van Alden looked like crazy eye Mr. Demartino on Daria back in the day.<br />

Like Chalky White, Capone's presence this season has been sorely lacking, but this week's fork full was a great step in the right direction.<br />
While I have missed seeing certain show regulars on a weekly basis, their omission has made room for the likes of Gaston Means whose scheming and ice cold delivery has yet to ware the slightest bit thin on me. Loved the small touch of having Jess Smith reading <u>The Redemption of David Corson</u>, a book that was reviewed as being as moral as a Sunday school tale which at the end pleases if not surprises the reader by the tableau of virtue triumphant and vice in the dust. I think it was more fruitless wishing on Jess Smith's party and not some kind of foreshadowing though. That was some serious gaming on Means's part. Making both Nucky and Daugherty (Shooter McGavin) pony up to have the potential rat killed. It was pure comedy watching him try to talk his way out of trouble when Jess got the drop on him in his bedroom. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course, by far the best addition to the cast has been Bobby Cannavale. His performance tonight only served to further cement his legacy on this show. Last week he stressed <a data-mce-href="../../../2012/11/boardwalk-empire-review-after-the-smoke-is-clear/" href="http://www.tvfanatic.com/2012/11/boardwalk-empire-review-after-the-smoke-is-clear/">the importance of reading</a> and this time he touted the power of math to his men when his shipment came in unharmed. Who knew he was such a whiz with numbers?</div>

He certainly took Franco and his cousin to school, once again displaying the maniacal inferiority complex and quick temper that has made him such a fan favorite. The shovel scene was almost too much to watch though. <br />

Places like Babette's can be rebuilt, but the loss of a loved one can leave scars that no amount of time can heal. "The Milkmaid's Lot" featured a traumatized Nucky, who was affected both physically and mentally by the attempt on his life.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You must forgive me a cruel chuckle or two during the scenes where Nucky called Eli, Eddie or when he mistook Chalky for the shoeshine guy. <br />

Other scenes were more disturbing, however, like those where Nucky kept referring to Margaret like she was Billie or Mabel.<br />

While Nucky was not at his best, Margaret showed her strength as she told her man to pull himself together and deal with his business. Poor woman, it was hard enough dealing with Nucky and his ever-changing disposition, on top of having being cooped up in the hotel with Gyp Rosetti's dog and her two children... who have apparently grown quite accustomed to the charmed life.<br />
<br />
Teddy's response to his mother when she told him to make his bed a second time was one of the funnier <a data-mce-href="../../../quotes/shows/boardwalk-empire/" href="http://www.tvfanatic.com/quotes/shows/boardwalk-empire/">Boardwalk Empire quotes</a> of the week. Here's some food for thought though...<br />
Did Gyp ever tell Margaret that the dogs name was Regina? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but last night Teddy called “Scruffy” Regina. I think Gyp has quite possibly paid a visit to Nucky's house on several occasions. He is the "vagrant" or gypsie that Teddy has been so scared of. Rosetti probably did set the fire in the greenhouse and has spoken with Teddy on at least one occasion outside their phone call last night. Creeeeepy. <br />

Last week Van Alden's wife talked him out of running away. This week it was Margaret who felt threatened, and Owen was offering to help pack her bags. The exchanges between these two secret lovers were some of their best moments to date. Owen touched on the idea that there is no half way when it comes to a life of crime, but despite being all in at the moment, he does have plans to walk away. His resolve seemed much stronger than Margaret's who looked like she was struggling with her decision to stay or go.<br />
There was one person who had his mind all made. Well you know his name is Tommy, and he likes to do draw-rings.<br />

Both pictures we saw him draw this week had modes of transportation on them. The first a train and the second one which he was carrying to Josephine when he walked in on her "working," featured a boat. Although after seeing his lady friend getting the "business" he might feel an unfamiliar urge to change that drawing to a "motorboat." <br />

He told Richard he wants to go home, which I took to mean anywhere that his crazy Mi Ma Gillian is not. I also could not help but think of <em>Almost Famous</em> during this scene. <br />

Did you notice how Richard was the only one who instantly knew the animal Tommy had drawn was a rhino waiting for the train? Richard's connection with his lost friend's son is much stronger than Gillian's. After seeing the way Richard and Julia got along, I am more resolute in my belief that Richard will get some justice for Tommy's fallen father and then will become the boy's full time guardian.<br />
Richard has so much to offer Tommy, including dance lessons. <br />

You just have to love how simple a soul Richard has while still being very funny and charming in his own right. He is a darker version of Forrest Gump in a way. Okay, maybe much darker.<br />
No soul on the show, though, is more devoid of light than that of Gyp Rosetti. The man actually had the gall to call Nucky and gloat over the death/murder of Billie Kent. His personality is like a slot machine. Once in awhile it comes up cherries, but on most pulls what you get is a mixed bag of psychosis. His town hall meeting was positively hilarious, however, highlighted by his comment about librarians...<br />

His idea of being neighborly sure is out of whack but man I couldn't help but laugh. <br />
While Masseria tried to convey to him how long it takes to grow a business and make it in this life, all Gyp heard was his boss say he might make a good general someday. So what does the ever impulsive Rosetti do? He takes the hat off the statue of the Civil War Brigadier General and shows up looking like Napoleon in a three piece suit. <br />

His men aren't loyal they are scared. Gyp has made it clear what happens to those who cross him, but will they stand up with him when things get really heated? I think the word is going to start to get out about this whackadoo and his proclivities. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Masseria made it clear that Rosetti's problems are his own, so while Nucky was no doubt left wondering how he will ever muster enough muscle to beat the crazy Italian, the field of battle may be more level than he at first imagined now that Gyp no longer has use of Masseria's "army." <br />

<br />
I wasn't surprised to see Rothstein walk away from Nucky and Atlantic City. After all, he makes his living in New York City, where things "actually matter." When Rothstein, Lansky and the other bosses walked out and Nucky was yelling "I won't forget this Arnold...Arnold!" I could not help but think of the scene where the <a href="http://youtu.be/ROxvT8KKdFw?t=2m17s" target="_blank">Delta House marched out of the school hearing and Dean Wormer was freaking out.</a> Nucky was looking for some love and got as harshly denied as I have seen. <br />

Hopefully this will open the door for the likes of Chalky White to comes back into the mix and help Nucky defend what he has built. At the very least it seems his Washington worries are now resolved after Remus got chased down in his own home. <br />

We certainly have not seen the last of the Manhattan boys or the Chi-town twosome of Torrio and Capone. For now, though, it seems the stage is set for a one on one grudge match by the sea. That's it from me...<br />

When it comes to influence on <em>Boardwalk Empire, </em>few characters command more than Nucky Thompson. On "The Pony," though, Nucky was made to feel like a donkey when he deceived his way into an audience with Andrew Mellon. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Nucky does not buck easy, as we know, and he held his ground in the face of the pompous politician, striking an important deal.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the Mr. Means setting him him up as some Prohibition version of Abe Froman, Nucky settled his legal issues with Daugherty. But his personal life took a turn for the worse after Billie's would-be costar "Sheik Whose Bin Fartin" insulted him. More on Nucky later, but first let's get into this. <br />

Luckily for Van Creepy, his wife is one nimble Norwegian and proved she is as good at running a still as she is as raising a family. With Van Alden coming unhinged as he listened to his debt to O'Bannion diminish drip by drip, she did well to devise a plan to hold their family together.<br />

Al Capone seemed to recognize him at their meeting to discuss Joe Miller, though, so I'm guessing we will see a run in between those two again at some point. Maybe Nelson will eventually become actual muscle for the fraudulent florist.<br />
<br />
Torrio was back from his holiday with a new lease on life. He tried to convey to O'Banion how life is too short to kill yourself over a few dollars, but the message behind his anecdote fell on deaf ears. Capone seemed perplexed as well by his newly insouciant mentor's attitude, but I think he also started to see the writing on the wall. Torrio was more concerned with osso bucco than bootlegging and may hand over control of the business to his protege. Recall how he focused on Al's decision making when the matter of Joe Miller came up.<br />

While it seemed Al Capone was being prepped to jump in the driver's seat, Margaret was ready to literally take the wheel when she asked Owen to teach her how to drive. Reminded me of <a href="http://youtu.be/NfhOM099evs?t=1m37s" target="_blank">that scene from Boyz-N-the-Hood</a> when Tre is telling Furious about the girl he picked up.<br />
<br />
While I like seeing Margaret become a more independent woman, the time spent on her quest to educate the pregnant masses has expired like the milk Mrs. Shearer admitted to drinking on purpose. I understand it was a difficult time for women, but with all the interesting story lines demanding screen time, to dedicate multiple scenes to the discussion of acquiring diaphragms was a bit much.<br />
<br />
Gillian was looking for some protection of her own as she casually mentioned to Gyp Rosetti where Nucky and Arnold Rothstein would be dining together. Did you notice the look Gyp gave his boy after he made the comment about Gyp's wife? Amazing!<br />

Then Richard appeared to tell her the bar was restocked. While his message to her was of little importance, I have a feeling Gyp may have shaken the hand of and dismissed with an insult about scaring mice, the man that will do him in at some point. I also think we'll see Richard become Tommy's guardian after he takes out Gillian too. <br />

But he was willing to play along as Gillian played the role of the grieving mother. When all pretenses were dropped, however, there was no mincing words. She looked as good as she ever has when she threw the drink in his face (Can't blame Lucky for taking one last run at her "Come on I'll give you a nice hard fuk like you like.")<br />

I'm sure inside Nucky must have been like...<br />

But I loved how he kept his cool and LOVED how he reminded her of just WHO she was dealing with. His speech was maybe my favorite Boardwalk Empire quotes this week.<br />
<strong>Nucky:</strong> You exist in this town because I allow you to. All in all I'd say that's-<br />
<strong>Gillian:</strong> Very generous of you. <br />
<strong>Nucky:</strong> You'd be wise to say that like you mean it.<br />

One of the funniest moments of the episode was when Nucky introduced himself to Andrew Mellon at the midtown Manhattan social club and got zero recognition. As I mentioned before, he did give Mellon something to contemplate, but then was labeled an interloper and forced from the premises. Nucky achieved what he had gone there to do, but it was clear the way he was disrespected stuck with him as he in turn called Billie's friend Gil an interloper after their fisticuffs.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As things with Billie have deteriorated, it has become quite clear over the last couple weeks that Nucky is looking for a change in his life. He contended that people always want something new, but in his case I think he is yearning for the way things were. What life is he trying to recapture though? The one he had with Margaret, or has he always been trying to fill the void left by the passing of his wife and son years ago? Or is the Fed Lawyer next on his twist list? <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Whichever it is, after the closing scene, I'm sure Nucky is just happy to be alive even though Billie most likely is not. Being in business with Nucky is starting to be as dangerous as partnering up with SAMCRO on <em>Sons of Anarchy</em>. The guy had never had a hard time with the ladies despite looking like a M-80 went off in his mouth. <br />

Yeah Billie most likely got killed, but that's not what got me emotional. Over the years we've seen the supper club to be one of the most fun places on the planet and it's namesake was perhaps the sexiest female on the show despite her limited screen time. </div>

Hopefully she survived and we get to follow her road to recovery but just in case she didn't I wanted to take a moment to reflect on a woman who just knew how to throw down with the best of 'em. </div>

Now I know not everyone shares my opinion with regard to this week's installment. For those of you who do not share my sentiment, let me refer you to Richard's comment this week:<br />

First off I had had it with Gillian and her creepy incestuous ways, but she showed she is as cunning as she is twisted when she set up her Jimmy look-a-like so that she could have a body to produce and finally get the house in her name. <br />

Now she is free and clear to go get herself that Discount Double Check and refinance her brothel.<br />
<br />
I also thought it was interesting to see Gyp in a new light. The way he tended to his suit and worried about getting it dirty at the dinner table reminded me of Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever. <br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/viCYkduSzaU?rel=0" width="420"></iframe><br />
Gyp was bullied and mocked at home by his mother and sisters. No wonder he is so sensitive to the apparent slights by others. <br />

LOVED Gyp's "praying." Then he decks the priest and by the "grace of god" scrapes together enough change to make his draw with Masseria, but still was going to get whacked before he offered to kill all the Italian's enemies. That was some smooth talking Gyp. <br />

Loved the Nucky/Eli sit down. They finally got everything out on the table. I liked the mentions of their mother and how she always put out three red eggs. Am I wrong or has there been reference made to Nucky having a sister or a second brother?<br />
<br />
Loved how Margaret tried to open up to June (Eli's wife) and all she could say was "you brought pineapple upside down cake." Tell you what...having popped out 8 kids, June looks pretty amazing. Eli is a lucky guy. <br />

How bout Nucky's juggling? <br />
And his line to Eli: Can I get a drink?<br />
Eli: Right this second?<br />
Nucky: Do I need an appointment? <br />

Eli looked like the model husband and the disparity between his family standing on high atop their stairs while Nucky's sham of a fam stood beneath them on the walkway was very powerful. <br />

Very nice gesture though by the oldest son to go and help Margaret's daughter up the stairs. My heart breaks for that little doll. Gets polio and has that psycho Teddy for a brother. Poor lass. <br />
<br />
Last but not even close to least, what an episode for Richard. Any time we get to see him scrap booking we win. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrHNi-kGHPtFtSUDeqxht77Dle8cZQPohRIGNQBGdOXxhseboTRrUtQCELTk75OG-fowrmXBlO5Ywmb-ZmHNAEWPDyZEeQFc08MQbgZokNgO9_hvOMUfoDLR-OS8tr8ISC3YTzDQqbaMg/s1600/md7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" oea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrHNi-kGHPtFtSUDeqxht77Dle8cZQPohRIGNQBGdOXxhseboTRrUtQCELTk75OG-fowrmXBlO5Ywmb-ZmHNAEWPDyZEeQFc08MQbgZokNgO9_hvOMUfoDLR-OS8tr8ISC3YTzDQqbaMg/s400/md7.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
Maybe it was the gypsy man, or possibly the Pooka, but regardless of who was to blame, my dreams of a great episode went up in flames as quickly as Nucky's greenhouse.<br />
<br />
"Ging Gang Goolie" had its moments, but my hopes of seeing the show move forward on certain fronts was hamstrung by the resurrection of storylines I had taken for dead and buried. Gillian looked like she was finally accepting Jimmy's death until she went out and got herself a new man whose side-shaved haircut was anything but subtle. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/mr%20poofles/?action=view&current=bmaids.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="186" src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/mr%20poofles/bmaids.gif" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
She wants to call her handsome hoosier James? Really? I thought this creepy storyline died with Jimmy, but apparently we were not so lucky, as Gillian got a second chance to play the creepy mother hand.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh she chose the name James because "he was a king?" So you like getting nailed by the king do you? I guess we can expect to hear <a href="http://hark.com/clips/wlzdnfyybv-fuck-me-your-majesty">some of this</a> in upcoming weeks? </div>

Lucky might want to cash out and go into business with that trick he got fired. <br />

Esther Randolph thought she had gotten a second chance at the one that got away, too, only to have the boat's captain cut her line. The courtroom proceedings actually provided many of the night's best entertainment. From Mr. Gold bragging to Nucky about his "wholesale" hooch operation to the judge's line about Randolph not seeking to give her life purpose in his courtroom. <br />
"<em>Miss Randolph I sympathize with your desire to bring purpose to your life, however, this courtroom is not the place to do it." </em><br />
<br />
The best part of Nucky's trip to Washington, though, was when he asked the clerk if he could break a hundred to settle his five dollar fine.<br />

I was happy to see Richard back on screen. At first I was surprised to see him go to the aid of the man who had called him "half moon" the night before, but I think Richard, more than anyone else, could see just how much Skorsky was hurting inside.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

His daughter Julia certainly made an impression. Richard doesn't give away much when it comes to his feelings, but you just know that when he got the scrapbook out, he had some feelings of love brewing. Good for Richard, he deserves it.<br />
<br />
I was relieved to get a week off from Margaret's medical mission, but instead of spending the screen time on someone like Capone or Rosetti we got a nauseating amount of scenes about Teddy and his creepy antics. <br />

Helping me keep the faith were scenes like the one where Esther and Nucky had breakfast. The prospect of them taking down Remus, Daugherty and crew together could be very interesting. Mix in the diabolical Mr. Means and I am sure we would be in for some serious drama.<br />
<br />
Also loved when Mickey asked if it was true that Rosetti was wearing a dog collar. He is always good for a laugh. <br />
<br />
Were you happy Owen and Margaret got back together as sparks flew in the greenhouse for the second time in the episode? What do you think the future holds for her and the children? Is she going to leave Nucky? Can she afford to? <br />

At the onset of "You'd Be Surprised," the sight of a creaking headboard should not have shocked anyone familiar with the show, but seeing Gyp Rosetti's fetish for erotic asphyxiation revealed may have caused some heads to do the confused dog head tilt. It is interesting that the man who has no doubt snuffed out the lives so many men gets off by being choked to within an inch of losing his. At least he remembered the cardinal rule and made sure to use a spotter. I wonder what their safe word was? Sauce! Linguine? <br />

If Gillian's house of ill repute does not offer services like those Gyp's waitress was dishing out, maybe she should think about adding them to the menu. Gyp's appetite alone might bring in enough to get that roof fixed. Something needs to give if she is to keep that blissful escape from reality, which she described to Leander open till business picks up again in the summer.<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">
<strong>Gillian:</strong> <em>This place Leander, it's meant to be a dream. Every man who walks inside is young and handsome. Every girl is innocent, trusting and devoted. The light is flattering, the air is perfumed and nothing ever changes. Who doesn't need to believe that? Just for a little while.</em></div>

If Gillian won't open her eyes to the obvious truth about Jimmy's fate, though, it won't really matter. <br />
Denial is not a river in Egypt and Gillian was not the only one showing forbearance for the truth this week. Van Alden tried to come clean to Sigrid, but she set him straight before he could. Her willingness to consciously ignore the truth, for a fabrication instead, made me wonder if she also has run from something in her past.<br />

I have been wondering what would reunite Nelson with the florist O'Banion and here I got my answer.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Nothing brings people together like a dead body. Where is Dexter Morgan when you need him? I bet Richard Harrow could have told Nelson how to get rid of his unsatisfied customer. With the ex-fed in the Irish gangster's pocket now, I'd gather we will see him and Capone cross paths in the near future.<br />
<br />
Getting back to shoddy service, Arnold Rothstein delivered some of his best material while discussing his disappointment in Nucky's organization and enterprise. He was visceral while fighting with Nucky as Owen and Lucky waited outside like children, but still was not above insulting himself mildly at the sit down with Gyp where he commented on the paleness of his albeit thick skin.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIeBMkTZGWerwxl9MKUJOuRjdKAOYaSf72DZuIWOGaZEZgVVsLZKKaFmX4YeRc-uoJpC5r4iyCw1kbFrIAok71gExMB0uq6FcPJSoutrp14HZSdwCkoH6LZtGSNPQhpQxVxYGn8XogcIc/s1600/bb11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="342" nea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIeBMkTZGWerwxl9MKUJOuRjdKAOYaSf72DZuIWOGaZEZgVVsLZKKaFmX4YeRc-uoJpC5r4iyCw1kbFrIAok71gExMB0uq6FcPJSoutrp14HZSdwCkoH6LZtGSNPQhpQxVxYGn8XogcIc/s400/bb11.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
I liked seeing Nucky not back down an inch and fire back the way he did after Arnold insulted the great Garden State, but I hope deep down he knows Rothstein is much more than just a good poker face.<br />
Owen and Lucky may have been told to "go watch the TV while Mommy and Daddy talk," but they each had some great moments of their own. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEE40_Q8ywHvCltsB1demNvXMI-fu-UqU6DT57hVTJZUtszRF3ezR5VQzTF05o353zuvv8jpiM8JfWZqs93lkVH5tqBfdUA4T6f6R0ebZkdvet9ca17cceRqGl8hvRQPt4lHit3Uax0Fg/s1600/bb9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="393" nea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEE40_Q8ywHvCltsB1demNvXMI-fu-UqU6DT57hVTJZUtszRF3ezR5VQzTF05o353zuvv8jpiM8JfWZqs93lkVH5tqBfdUA4T6f6R0ebZkdvet9ca17cceRqGl8hvRQPt4lHit3Uax0Fg/s400/bb9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
The two best of which were when Owen corrected Rothstein's comments about Rosetti, "he burned the sheriff," and when Lucky added his "sticks and stones" line at the Rosetti sit down.<br />
<br />
I had wondered what Owen was referring to when he mentioned to Nucky that he did not like "it" being out of their hands. I guess he was talking about the attempt to take out Gyp falling on the young shoulders of Bugsy. Did you notice Rothstein's eyebrows perk up when Gyp told the newsy his room number earlier in the episode? That was a nice bit of foreshadowing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have gotten little enjoyment out of Margaret's storyline this season, but this week I found myself more intrigued. Perhaps it was because I felt a little heartache for her. She is alone while Nucky, Owen and her pipe smoking doctor all have someone romantically.<br />
<br />
I did like how, despite her modesty, she really did seem to know everything Nucky was thinking. Her comment about Nucky struggling with Billie being able to take care of herself was spot on. She certainly is the less needy version of Lucy. Lets just hope she doesn't start calling Nucky "Daddy."<br />

Such a small but powerful scene those two delivered. The tension was tenable as "Milky" just played it calm and cool.</div>

Things are getting tense in Washington too, demanding more screen time for Mr. Means and his assortment of phrases and his oh-so-unique style of delivering them. </div>
<br />
Also making the most of his limited screen time was good old Eddie K., who came a knocking on Nucky's door but still felt compelled to announce that it was he who had done the rapping. Thanks Jeeves. <br />

This week ended with the state of things very far from Hunky Dory. If Nucky thought Gyp a mad dog before, wait till they get a load of him after a botched attempt on his life. He is going to make Cujo look like Odie from Garfield.<br />

Did you notice how he used the redheaded waitress as a human shield when Bugsy burst into the room? Guy is ruthless but a survivor. Also had no problem letting his chain hang while returning fire in the hallway with the belt still around his neck. <br />
<br />
Lastly how bout the shout out to LOST. Probably not intended to be so, but I couldn't help notice that in both shows the heroin was smuggled inside religious statues. <br />

<em>Boardwalk Empire</em> served up one of its best installments this week wouldn't you agree Angeler? How bout you Mona? <br />
<br />
While there was a little inconsistency at times with the show's main man Nucky, "Blue Bell Boy" delivered in so many other ways that in the end it didn't really matter.<br />
<br />
Right off the bat, for the first time, we were introduced to a character who has had a "head" in the game for awhile now and has proved to be stiff competition for Nucky. Who am I talking about? <br />
<br />

Last week Nucky spoke of how he wanted his business to run itself, how he wanted to be free from all the little mundane decision making and the stress it causes him. This week, however, he was back micromanaging more than ever consorting with the help like he was one of the guys. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Owen's concern about involving the feds, crooked or not, was a valid point to make. Owen, you could see, has taken on more responsibility; he now has guys coming to speak to him in whispers. This was not lost on Nucky and why I'm sure he felt it so important to send Owen a message by shooting young Roland Smith.<br />

I was surprised when that scene eventually went down the way it did. Maybe Roland should have called Nucky a little sooner. <br />

I sort of thought Roland was going to be the new Jimmy and maybe even give Nucky a second chance to set things right in a way, but no sir. Proving he was one hundred percent in the game has taken its toll on him and he wasn't about to lose that street cred by letting some thief off the hook, no matter how charming or resourceful he proved to be. <br />

In a way, they can't afford to be, because that is when someone will come and take everything away. That is why we saw the normally collected Rothstein get as agitated as we've seen him when he called looking for his shipment and had to talk with the likes of Mickey. </div>

Lucky saw this first hand when he tried to appeal to Masseria, who had known him as a boy. It is all well and good for these young men to strike out on their own, but they need not forget from whose table they were fed on their rise to manhood. I very much enjoyed the exchange between Luciano and Lansky after they asked a disgruntled Benny to leave the room. The juxtaposition of personalities, where we saw Lucky telling Meyer to not be so hot headed for once, was great. I also got the feeling that as Lucky left for that meeting, Meyer wondered if that might be the last time he ever sees his friend and partner. <br />

At the close of last season, Nucky put a bullet in Jimmy to show he wasn't some half way gangster without any blood on his hands. On "Bone For Tuna" Nucky had himself an "out damn spot" moment as his dreams were haunted by the memory of the boy who once loved him like a father.<br />

The usually unflappable Nucky wore his inner anguish on his face throughout the episode as his inability to put Jimmy's death behind him may prove to be his undoing. With pillow talk a thing of the past as far as Margaret is concerned, Nucky tried to raise Billie on the phone on several occasions. His uneasiness grew with each unanswered ring, as he struggled to reach out and touch someone... anyone. <br />

Nucky confessed to wanting to be removed from his business, that it would just run itself. All the man really wants is to not be alone. Margaret is becoming more and more cunning the less she is able to care about Nucky as we saw her dupe the hospital head in front of the bishop. Billie most certainly has other men occupying her time but Nucky either doesn't care of doesn'y care to see the obvious so long as she keeps cookin up dat bacon like she does. <br />

One of the biggest stresses about Nucky's job has got to be constantly dealing with head cases like Gyp Rosetti. There just is no pleasing men like him who, as Nucky put it, "can find an insult in a bouquet of roses." This guy though is a whole new breed of crazy the likes of which we haven't seen before. Proof being when he made that cop look like the <a href="http://att.x2.hiapk.com/forum/month_1108/1108091652085cc052d49f95b5.jpg">cover of Rage Against the Machine's debut album</a>. <br />

Nucky, for the most part, feels pretty safe on his home turf of Atlantic City, but what will happen if a man like Gyp can recruit the likes of Gillian to join his efforts to take down the coastal king? Gyp, of course, had no idea why Nucky snubbed Gillian like he did, but he quickly added it to his list of things he took personally.<br />

If he can get her and Eli on his side Nucky could be in for a rough ride and I'm not talking about the kind Sara Jay dishes out. I'm not too worried. Nucky is the kind of man to always and ace in the hole and based on what we saw this week, that ace may very well turn out to be Richard. <br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Life certainly is better with friends and Van Alden seemed to be reaping the benefits of such at home. Yes, his job is less than ideal, but at least he has traded in the self mutilation for a loving woman.

While I was disappointed not to get a second helping of Chalky this week, I did like seeing the Lucky/Lansky storyline advance. How about Meyer showing he is as good a shot as he is smart?

He certainly was smart to decide to cut Masseria in on the heroin business but unfortunately never got a chance to do so. We did get a glimpse of that famous Bugsy Siegel temper though. I wonder if he brought back any change for Lucky. <br />

Can Nucky entice the young entrepreneurs from Manhattan to join him in taking down some higher-ups? He certainly isn't getting much help with his current staff of fools. Where will Rothstein stand when lines are drawn? What did you think?</div>

While this week opened in a most peculiar way, exploring the more cerebral part of this criminal element.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/bemeatballs/?action=view&current=tumblr_mavqqwS89w1qd30vqo2_2501.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="212" src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/bemeatballs/tumblr_mavqqwS89w1qd30vqo2_2501.gif" width="400" /></a></div>
From Nucky's meeting with Mr. Means (who you probably recognized from True Blood) to his chat with Rothstein, we saw how a sharp intellect is just as important as a dead aim when it comes to staying atop the criminal underworld. Men like the aforementioned do not leave things to chance. So when something like Manny getting killed by an unknown assailant occurs, it perplexes them and causes them to question everything and everyone.<br />
<br />
We were treated to some amazing dialogue this week, weren't we? Mr. Means talk of paradoxes and the difference between ordinary versus extraordinary men: <br />
<em><strong>Means:</strong> Consider me an admirer Mr. Thompson. Ordinary men avoid trouble. Extraordinary men turn it to their advantage. You and I have that in common.</em> <br />
And the great game of quid pro quo Nucky played with Rothstein are why I enjoy those conversations like Arnold said he does. <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Despite their cool and calm exteriors, Nucky and Arnold have to be feeling a bit on edge, which is why the introduction of Gyp Rosetti could not have been timed better.<br />

Gyp doesn't play by anyone's rules. He acts according to his own agenda as if he has a license to step on anyone he wants. <br />

Based on what we saw in the premiere, I found myself flinching each time he spoke to someone, half expecting their next comment to be their last. <br />

His psychosis aside, you had to laugh at his delivery in a number of scenes, most notably when he asked the waitress to tell him more about the spaghetti and meatballs on the menu.<br />

I fully enjoy most any scene featuring Richard Harrow, but I didn't mind that he wasn't featured this week after being part of such a pivotal scene to close out last Sunday. There are a lot of players in this game; to try and dedicate time to all of them each week would do the over all feel of the show a disservice.<br />
<a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/bemeatballs/?action=view&current=tumblr_maxm2poHKd1qefc8z1.gif" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/bemeatballs/tumblr_maxm2poHKd1qefc8z1.gif" /></a>Absence certainly makes the heart grow fonder, so I was very pleased to see the return of Chalky White after his no show in the premiere. <br />
<br />
While the family matters we witnessed weren't as dynamic as the scenes we are used to seeing this dynamic character in, they were worth watching because we were treated to a glimpse of his past and eventual rise to power, something I hope we learn more about. There is no shame in his game, but Chalky wants more for his children, which is why he does what he does. So when his daughter continued to back talk him and question his judgement, I too felt his ire.<br />

Very intense scene when he confronted her at his club asking her if this was what she wanted. It also made me think of another intense individual saying <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhpCfSslq1w">LOOK AT ME</a>. <br />

I liked the cut of that young Sam's jib. Guy takes a blade to the face and still tries to help the transgressor out. She better get with the program or get used to seeing this kind of face every night at the dinner table. </div>

Another series regular making his <a data-mce-href="../../../shows/boardwalk-empire/episodes/season-3/" href="http://www.tvfanatic.com/shows/boardwalk-empire/episodes/season-3/"><em>Boardwalk Empire</em> Season 3</a> debut was Eli, as we saw his release from prison. Mickey Doyle can definitely get on my nerves, but he also has had his moments and this week was no exception. His attempts to joke with Eli were hilarious. On the other side of the car, Eli did well to ask the question I'm sure most fans of the show have asked at some point: "how the fu-k are you still alive?"<br />

On a more serious tip, Eli's homecoming was a nice moment. As the reality of just how much he had missed while away set in though, I found myself feeling sorry for the former lawman.<br />

I continue to like the tense scenes between Owen and Margaret, he is torturing her with his charm and just won't leave her alone.<br />

Maggie wants to forget it but she can't and you just know her friend is wise to what is going on between the two of them or at least that something did at some point. <br />

I wish she would just get over this hospital fascination though. Two episodes in now and we have heard her talk of nothing more than church business and prenatal care. Getting back to my earlier comment about Richard, I don't think it is necessary for her to be featured each week at all. In fact, the only character who probably should be in every episode is Nucky.<br />

Ah love, all Nucky wants is for his mistress Billy and him to be open with each other. I mean, if you can't trust the woman you're cheating on your wife with... who can you trust? While shooting pool, Rothstein commented on what a vivacious woman Nucky was consorting with and then he sends a ball around the table banking off each bumper before sinking a ball in the corner pocket. It seemed to me like he was pointing out how Billy has been around the block a few times, or in the case of New York, the park. Then again, maybe he was just showing off. Either way that girl get's around...like a record dude. <br />

The political issues, Gyp now interfering, not to mention the issue of Margaret giving away the land to her parish which has yet to come up, all will serve to make Nucky start asking for a little less starch in his collars I feel. Like the fish in the opening scene, Nucky's pond is shrinking and the water isn't getting any safer.</div>

As <em>Boardwalk Empire</em> Season 3 opened, most of the characters were busy preparing to usher in the new year - but there was just enough time for some last minute blood shed. <br />
In the first scene of "Resolution" we got our first glimpse of (<em>Nurse Jackie</em> resident D.B.) Bobby Cannavale's Gyp Rosetti and his quick temper. For such a well-healed man, Gyp's skin seemed pretty thin, almost to the point of over doing it. He's a big fan of dropping the insult then trying to play it off as a joke huh? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af-Id_fuXFA">"I said with all due respect." </a><br />

Nucky did not so much as blink though when the aggressive Sicilian beat his chest before storming out of their kitchen nook conference call. Nor did Rothstein when Gyp lashed out with him. (Note the smile at the end)<br />

Nothing like some anti-Semitic slurs on the eve of the second most important Jewish holiday. Arnold is as cool as the glasses of milk he tends to drink. Important to note from that scene was Lansky and Lucky have finally earned a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsFBYq_h_J0">place at the table</a>. Lucky showed he has matured as he kept his cool when Gyp called him short pants. Don't you worry, he still knows how to coin a phrase.<br />

Also with them was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_Yale">Franky Yale</a> played by Joseph Riccobene. We have seen him before as the man who shot Colosimo. <br />
<br />
Nucky seemed to have taken Jimmy's parting words to heart and showed us he is no half way gangster as he flippantly ordered Manny to put a bullet in Nate the thief's head. Some may argue, though, that unless he actually pulls the trigger, he will forever be a "shook one."<br />

Meanwhile, Jimmy's mother Gillian appears to have been a busy woman. People cope with empty nest syndrome in a variety of ways, but turning your ex-sugar-daddy's mansion into a brothel, I have a feeling, was a first. The new girl Evelyn seemed to catch Richard's eye...(get it? eye?) I think she reminded him of Angela. <br />

Thankfully for young Tommy's sake, Richard has been kept on and seems to have become the boy's attendant. How amazing was the scene where he was winning Tommy all those prizes at the fair shooting gallery.<br />

As Richard ushered in the new year by showing Manny's brains the back door out, I initially figured he was on some sort of vendetta to wipe out those who did Jimmy and Angela in... but part of me wonders if Nucky is somehow pulling his strings now.<br />

Dean O'Banion might think Al Capone is Torrio's little puppet, but he might want to start setting aside some Calla Lily's for his own wife, so she has something to rest on his casket. The old scene where Al told Jimmy about his son being deaf was one of the most emotional moments in the show's history, so when the Chi-town florist made light of the poor boy's handicap I was shocked to see Al settle down so easily. He is one dog whose bite is certainly worse than his bark, and Van Alden or not, Dean will have his day soon enough. Al's line about chewing through his leash was one of my favorites of the episode. <br />

Not sure going door to door is necessarily a smart career move for an ex FBI agent who is on the run. He didn't exactly seem to have the Glengarry leads did he? And how about his Stuart Smalley moment?<br />

Van Alden's little Tony Robbins-esque mantra is actually from Emile Coue, a French psychologist who introduced a popular method of psychotherapy in his book, <u>Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion</u>. A bestseller in 1923 it is still in print today. <br />
In an episode where multiple characters took shots to the dome, I think the one I felt the worst for was the poor little girl who had her stroller force fed to her when Van Alden tried to squeeze by her and her mother. <br />

The premiere did well to remind us of most of the story lines from last season, be it the political aspect with Shooter McGavin (Harry Daugherty) or Margaret's infidelity with Owen Sleater. Throw on top of all that, this new storyline of Margaret's involvement in the hospital - along with Chalky White - and we have a recipe for amazing. I loved how Margaret didn't throw that young doctor under the bus for telling her about the lack of prenatal care at the hospital. She and her family might be in for some trouble though. The way Gyp Rosetti handed her the dog he took off the motorist he killed seemed like a bad omen. It may have well been a severed horse head judging by the face Nucky made as he watched the scene unfold. Nucky might beat Gyp to it though when he finds out she donated the land to the church. She already got a talking to at the party for speaking out of line. <br />

Things were relatively back to normal for the time being. Margaret continues to feel like a trapped bird wanting to fly, Nucky has himself a new mistress and the people of Atlantic City still kneel before his altar of booze and debauchery.

It even looked far ahead, teasing the fall return of Boardwalk Empire in the following preview, preparing fans for a "new year" with "new rules" - but the same old Nucky, of course. Watch now as he gives a very simple order: Put a bullet in his f-ckin head.CHRIShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18113969287491282063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1875545143025689913.post-91993307067855016622012-02-08T11:50:00.000-08:002012-02-08T11:51:29.314-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivWqFVqdvtpr6i1_X0zfWxEfFFYSLZUFd3n8kGab47SGTbG0PX3PZjVsMtqHK8dqqABqdZywjXrNpYglHs38trbz32d-jNj4l2Ep2FH0ZMZ1n43eqO5QJ4-4GN9wZF74HDHsbL4eJbDP4/s1600/boarwalksteez.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 398px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivWqFVqdvtpr6i1_X0zfWxEfFFYSLZUFd3n8kGab47SGTbG0PX3PZjVsMtqHK8dqqABqdZywjXrNpYglHs38trbz32d-jNj4l2Ep2FH0ZMZ1n43eqO5QJ4-4GN9wZF74HDHsbL4eJbDP4/s400/boarwalksteez.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706854737637073970" /></a>CHRIShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18113969287491282063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1875545143025689913.post-37960119672137502912012-01-18T07:18:00.000-08:002012-01-18T07:20:58.761-08:00Don't Stop Make It Pop...<a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/?action=view&current=tumblr_lxzp75DUCx1r1x6al1.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/tumblr_lxzp75DUCx1r1x6al1.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>CHRIShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18113969287491282063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1875545143025689913.post-57694541825132771682011-12-12T09:50:00.001-08:002011-12-15T08:11:44.709-08:00Ain't No Such Thing As Halfway Crooks<a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/?action=view&current=tumblr_lw2v3fI6PQ1qbvaudo1_5001.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/tumblr_lw2v3fI6PQ1qbvaudo1_5001.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Initially while watching the finale I thought the post title for the recap was going to be "Welcome Back Cracker!" A take off on the Welcome Back Kotter series and referencing Chalky's scene when the KKK guys were delivered to him. He and Purnsley could not have been more thrilled.<br /><br /><a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/?action=view&current=tumblr_lv6xl5jGdb1r0ix14o3_2501-1.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/tumblr_lv6xl5jGdb1r0ix14o3_2501-1.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />But then, the shit got real. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR431Wuniqsl46XmdC7g7j40GKw7R9RXqVYJGsGx8RVJWnh7St4IbHaFH5kGGCJ2AhlAxEKTlGxlBAMvVBLgwB3dAWmufDwdID-RZaeh6U6yFJZ36i6Xkyv6lot4XKpPylZGzY8sadpWE/s1600/beseaqson2finale.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR431Wuniqsl46XmdC7g7j40GKw7R9RXqVYJGsGx8RVJWnh7St4IbHaFH5kGGCJ2AhlAxEKTlGxlBAMvVBLgwB3dAWmufDwdID-RZaeh6U6yFJZ36i6Xkyv6lot4XKpPylZGzY8sadpWE/s400/beseaqson2finale.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685334462535074386" /></a><br />At first I was upset. How could Jimmy have been so jolly drunk when he knew what was coming. He gave Tommy his dog tags, he knew he was going to meet his end. I think what we watched over the last two seasons was a long slow death of a soldier who was never going to be whole ever again. Jimmy talked about how the soldiers would laugh and make up songs to take their mind off the killing. Jimmy was able to laugh about those times because he had let the war go finally. He was ready for death. Richard made the comment that he himself was still "there." He hadn't yet made peace with what he did "over there" and Atlantic City has been just another blind, just another mission for him. Jimmy prayed that his friend would find his own peace as he knew he would soon enough find his. <br /><br />I turn to the Shogun Assassin on 1980 made popular by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bsl44gJAPY&feature=related">Gza's "Liquid Swords." </a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2usbEl2a3KfYB5hx6Snd-9SedtoByJQASX-NseHIqDAA0-qc8KK6ByuLXfJyeD_ELSka_dsyqDcet1i51yCAWvdi80XX66i1iUyaBBHk3xWk-fD6OCwFx63ceAqxpLZAsC9lJfxpUfQk/s1600/shogunbw.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2usbEl2a3KfYB5hx6Snd-9SedtoByJQASX-NseHIqDAA0-qc8KK6ByuLXfJyeD_ELSka_dsyqDcet1i51yCAWvdi80XX66i1iUyaBBHk3xWk-fD6OCwFx63ceAqxpLZAsC9lJfxpUfQk/s400/shogunbw.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685312460898595842" /></a>He was the greatest Samurai in the empire, and he was the Shogun's decapitator.

Well Jimmy made it home but he still was a soldier for the same type of people. When he tried to be someone else he lost touch with who he was. He said it himself, he was upset about what he saw happening around him back home, guys like Nucky lining their pockets thanks to the freedom he and his fallen brothers provided. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi88bOMprWRbL1yId2cme220Zf4-Pw1ipqk68FopTsFDgGf0dXtMY0fUBcpCDeqxqM4t7xQyvkg2oQGG3gJeiGMsYK5qYgXNtS3ZZZs7b1cb05-QaOKrYRWBUlXYOhnPwzHBhdDFW6dG0w/s1600/rh.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi88bOMprWRbL1yId2cme220Zf4-Pw1ipqk68FopTsFDgGf0dXtMY0fUBcpCDeqxqM4t7xQyvkg2oQGG3gJeiGMsYK5qYgXNtS3ZZZs7b1cb05-QaOKrYRWBUlXYOhnPwzHBhdDFW6dG0w/s320/rh.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685328991433041010" /></a><br />Jimmy knew what he was walking into, he went unarmed. Jimmy never expected to come back alive from the war. Nobody was more surprised than he was. Like <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1010540/">Terence Winter</a> noted, "He’s kind of been the walking dead, for lack of a better term, since he got back." Even from the first encounter with Gillian where she remarked, “This isn’t my son anymore,” he was different. He came full circle in the last few weeks, fully realizing how deeply he had been manipulated by his father and Gillian and how badly she screwed him up psychologically. He sort of took the honorable soldier route and fell on his own sword but only after he set things like Chalky's situation right. He said to Richard, “This is something that I have to do,” and Richard knew what he was talking about, and being a soldier himself, Richard allowed him to do that. Otherwise they could have picked off the whole lot of 'em together. Richard accepted Jimmy’s fate but still offered to go and help him and sort of take his place. “I’ll kill them all if you want." <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0mnPPNQ0ztVOOz-sbLTbknlKP-QuLRUqdgMBle1gJ9EhqT8oiqovZdDrdM_Hz5DH2giYcfhOdayQWNNuXgCKuUZF43-lJM5iUuJgB6wI_F6709gZOtyff3m5I05eFfWpHhYj6T1P9hJo/s1600/halfway.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 287px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0mnPPNQ0ztVOOz-sbLTbknlKP-QuLRUqdgMBle1gJ9EhqT8oiqovZdDrdM_Hz5DH2giYcfhOdayQWNNuXgCKuUZF43-lJM5iUuJgB6wI_F6709gZOtyff3m5I05eFfWpHhYj6T1P9hJo/s400/halfway.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685320884202690450" /></a><br />In the pilot Jimmy told Nucky you can't be half a gangster anymore. Nucky showed blood runs deep as he chose Eli over Jimmy and ultimately pulled the trigger to put Jimmy away. In the end Nucky showed him he knew all to well there's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN4muAg7lOU&feature=fvst">no such things as half way crooks</a>. In so many words he told Jimmy you spoke the wrong words man and now you get touched, it's gotta be this way. <br />Your simple words just don't move me, you're minor, we're major. (Goes back to the speech Manny made in the basement to Nucky about the middleman) You all up in the game and don't deserve to be a player. Your crew is featherweight, my gunshots'll make you levitate. <br /><a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/?action=view&current=tumblr_lw3okbiOXU1r5z4sho1_r1_5001-1.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/tumblr_lw3okbiOXU1r5z4sho1_r1_5001-1.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Nucky is cold blooded, his warm heart didn't turn cold because he has no heart. The whole would-be touching scene with Emily, in the yard, was all a ploy to get Margaret to marry him and it worked. Earlier when Nucky came home and Katie was trying to get Emily to walk she burst out "Hi Daddy!" He didn't so much as put a hand on her shoulder to say hi, he just went upstairs to unpack once he knew Margaret wasn't home. If push came to shove he would use her, her brother even Margaret as a human shield if it meant saving his own hide. Wellhe is gonna burst when he realizes she signed over the land deed to the church. <br /><a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/?action=view&current=tumblr_lw3resbVo41qbtebko1_5001.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/tumblr_lw3resbVo41qbtebko1_5001.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Yeah Nucky chose Eli and kept with the blood is thicker than water/family theme of this season, but once Eli does his time and is out of jail I doubt he shows him much if any love. <br /><br />On the future of the show Terence Winter recently said in an interview:<br /><em>I’d like to explore more aspects of some of the characters, deeper aspects of characters we’ve gotten to know a little bit: Rothstein, Luciano Lansky, Capone, Chalky, Richard. Those are people who already exist and I’d like to get to know more about them. On the other hand, they also need conflicts and people to butt up against. So there will be new characters and new situations. </em><br />But he also said there will not be a revenge storyline for Richard so where does that leave my man? Trying to figure out how to climb out of the trench and into the light like his good friend did?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQY2nhc1F6-aZTjZWawCnVtvCmg9B8p3B_B2Qia59lhOgdbYh_R-Tz06M03W6RWA5F9rs0nlWKErMjA5YE5rQ2ueRUS4Cpl9BN2rMM3bkNvJloGe0zlaSMuiS10S6NZrp61mMDTLVXuw/s1600/tothelast.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I'm never shocked by Scorcese's attention to detail or his costume departments for that matter, but I am constantly in awe. Case in point was the well chewed pencil Jimmy held while reading aloud to his classmates and professor. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIObo4-kcXA1KyWwAWWXmSZnL3faVROaI6k5EROoGXaG8-qdLDs0-e7D4Jyqyk5ZwO9M19MCjzaa_QU15hHR9YSq59UORMxXEcr9G2v_YOSf64Ts-mAeedJoxqmNMqKw1aqunqdD1XLSM/s1600/qbe1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIObo4-kcXA1KyWwAWWXmSZnL3faVROaI6k5EROoGXaG8-qdLDs0-e7D4Jyqyk5ZwO9M19MCjzaa_QU15hHR9YSq59UORMxXEcr9G2v_YOSf64Ts-mAeedJoxqmNMqKw1aqunqdD1XLSM/s400/qbe1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683068616057066178" /></a><br />We saw that Jimmy's tendency to "come out swingin'" was a part of him from early on and a byproduct of his upbringing in Atlantic City. While most of his classmates came from well off families by way of schools like Phillips Exeter, our boy prepped at the School of Hard Knocks. His professor found that out the hard way after he messed with Gillian at the school mixer. <br />I loved seeing Jimmy in the early days of he and Angela's relationship. Highlight though was his room mate self deprecating quips and his referencing Cyrano De Bergerac when he called Angela his "Roxanne." <br />We knew Gillian has always had a weird relationship with her son bordering on the inappropriate like when she shared with Angela how she used to kiss Jimmy's winkie as a baby, but I never thought they would take us where they did this week. Gillian you were wrong, there definitely was something wrong, there was something wrong with all of it. Flash forward to when she was going over the funeral arrangements with Jimmy and she remarked how Angela didn't really have a very wide circle. Well you would know Mommy Dearest having had your son inside you like she did. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaYx0wEfqGIghL9mZNywJZD-dVaQ5YXFM_zxRtw782yI3ZN8ynnNEhatXfn11gPLEUO25PYZl8-HtMU8dTOpi2-Km6TZESuIi5F5No7LyArAZTCGROnlSlzjD4J2iaw1_Ltgx9Ol_uXkQ/s1600/qbe3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaYx0wEfqGIghL9mZNywJZD-dVaQ5YXFM_zxRtw782yI3ZN8ynnNEhatXfn11gPLEUO25PYZl8-HtMU8dTOpi2-Km6TZESuIi5F5No7LyArAZTCGROnlSlzjD4J2iaw1_Ltgx9Ol_uXkQ/s400/qbe3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683076138699911714" /></a> Jimmy woke up the morning after and we've all had those face in hands moments after a night of boozing and poor decision making, but this was a whole different ball of wax. Maybe I wasn't as appalled as most because my college room mate had this tape he kept in his sock drawer that I would borrow periodically titled <a href="http://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/product_images/1020/406426.1020.A.jpg">Taboo-The Ultimate Sin</a>, but I do put all the blame on Gillian. Just like Jimmy's fast temper was a product of his upbringing so is his distorted sense of family and sexual conduct. There was no fire wall whatsoever when it came to his mother's sexual exploits and his sense of what a mother son relationship was perverted from birth. <br />One of the more impressive shots of the season, perfectly captured Jimmy at the crossroads of his life as he looked out the window and saw a car load of coeds driving off screen as in the distance a formation of soldiers marched out onto the quad. In case that wasn't an obvious depiction of the crossroad Jimmy had reached in life, the railroad crossing sign in the foreground left little to misinterpret. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzoLE0COFThMxSL5DlW2qCLJLdLIlpM7Jx5xwaXo0pYRCKE7z0VzhY2wIiLabcFeNDo_VhHaQsX37HYrqPV0ZiiDw49l99wJgYx42c4GPiwbd5S2bpm8tS1fqA9E9bo3bvySV_Wox8mBk/s1600/qbe2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzoLE0COFThMxSL5DlW2qCLJLdLIlpM7Jx5xwaXo0pYRCKE7z0VzhY2wIiLabcFeNDo_VhHaQsX37HYrqPV0ZiiDw49l99wJgYx42c4GPiwbd5S2bpm8tS1fqA9E9bo3bvySV_Wox8mBk/s400/qbe2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683075227593951314" /></a> We soon realize that Jimmy is aware of Angela's death and the flashbacks were brought on most likely by his dive bombing the envelope of heroin Lucky gave to him. (Great Call btw by Brownie Luche last week) I've seen a lot of weird techniques for getting f'ed up in my day. I once saw Johnny Knoxville stick drugs right up his 2-hole, but this was by far one of the most pathetic scenes of drug abuse I have even witnessed. Can someone get that guy a straw?!?!? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfl9Uey4Q03-yy1ZdW1WbVC8qxOS1S425lgQhqDbXjNZxjDTrfVyA3Ty_znYf5dWsvnVrMH8-bxf2NDoY97ejXWev-gSYs3YlC8C28_2D07LWRwj4gMWSEP0hJQSCrj6nX9i5YiQfjIEo/s1600/qbe4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 348px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfl9Uey4Q03-yy1ZdW1WbVC8qxOS1S425lgQhqDbXjNZxjDTrfVyA3Ty_znYf5dWsvnVrMH8-bxf2NDoY97ejXWev-gSYs3YlC8C28_2D07LWRwj4gMWSEP0hJQSCrj6nX9i5YiQfjIEo/s400/qbe4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683077956212289890" /></a>Jimmy looks like he and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5VJa-sYsyU">Mr. Brownstone </a>will be spending a lot of time <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwlogyj7nFE&ob=av2e">Under the Bridge </a>if you know what I mean.<br /><a href="http://s1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/?action=view&current=biggums-11.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/cfoh456/biggums-11.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Meanwhile back home his boys are moving on without him and looking to cut him out of the equation like Boston George. Jimmy hasn't exactly left them much choice with his inability to move their booze. They each seemed to have no issues selling their own lots. Lucky had to only go as far at Hoboken to unload his. I gotta side with the young guns here and say Jimmy was droppin the ball there. How hard is it to sell booze when there is nothing but demand and no supply. It's like Chris Rock once said, "Drug dealers don't sell drugs. Drugs sell themselves...You don't ever really got to try to sell crack. I never heard of crack dealers going, 'Man, how am I going to get rid of all this crack? It's just piled up in my house."

Can u see my cock now Dad?" Oh well I guess the knife from his pants was all the imagery he needed. <br />Saddest moment of the week aside from Emily's "magic legs" fail (which we have agreed we have no interest in discussing because it's way too emotional) was Richard's goodbye to Angela. Having mustered all his restraint to not call Gillian a flat out "C" after she basically called him a "re-tard" in front of the police officer, I was amazed he was able to keep it together while he rubbed the blood of his beloved Angela between his fingers. If we don't see him avenge either with or without Jimmy, I will shit a brick. Scalping won't even come close to what he thinks up for Mannie the butcher. Maybe he can borrow Chalky's daddy's tools. <br />Well that's about it for me this week, I can't wait to hear your comments.

In the tug-o-war match for control of Atlantic City, Jimmy who previously had wrestled the flag well over his side of the line of contention this week began to feel the burning in his hands and the rope began to slide through his fingers. He is holding on too tight, needs to turn in his wings. He's got Daddy McMumbles telling him to whip out his cock or get proper fukked up the skirt and Nucky saturating the market with Irish Whiskey "straight from the old girl's tit," as our man Sleater put it. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQk2M1QE_ohtZabHkS3IR4E_GXIJFSndwL98ymEzMnI0se6MsN_u_IkPNP31JtRMWmxN3Zu9cSan4UMvLKE9Gz_6EojuRi00be-N9nSRuW0mznrrwyRegO9CcbwDlvV0Dr_ALqc2_-MqM/s1600/zbe13.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 354px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQk2M1QE_ohtZabHkS3IR4E_GXIJFSndwL98ymEzMnI0se6MsN_u_IkPNP31JtRMWmxN3Zu9cSan4UMvLKE9Gz_6EojuRi00be-N9nSRuW0mznrrwyRegO9CcbwDlvV0Dr_ALqc2_-MqM/s400/zbe13.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680472321479438242" /></a>Did you notice the reaction of his crew when he lost his shit and kicked the crate of booze over in the warehouse. It was like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fttt3fFTxk">the reaction the Hickory High team gave Coach Dale</a> after he told them they were going to use Jimmy as a decoy and Merle was going to take the last shot. Even Richard looked down at the floor. But this time there was no Jimmy to step up and say "I'll make it." I was looking for Al to rise to the occasion and be like "I'll sell it," but he never did. <br />Lucky and Lansky are gonna be alright. "Fuk a recession!" They got the H train ready to leave the station, just so long as they don't start getting high on their own supply. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwFvCj62ETtlEuGNtfZYuaGmRNAMivaQgjXXuU93Hsk1rIFRJGNt2_DDZ7wjn-Y_lYqNyY54evXbejkmHFu3aiUDrMODLGISacM_meDTwe6MDjnjTkU7ovzqq3rETe9_IWShuitnBS8_c/s1600/zbe1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 253px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwFvCj62ETtlEuGNtfZYuaGmRNAMivaQgjXXuU93Hsk1rIFRJGNt2_DDZ7wjn-Y_lYqNyY54evXbejkmHFu3aiUDrMODLGISacM_meDTwe6MDjnjTkU7ovzqq3rETe9_IWShuitnBS8_c/s400/zbe1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680477196001687234" /></a>We finally saw the tensions boil over between Jimmy and Luciano. Lucky dropping the side comment that "he says a lot of things" when Lansky asked about the coast guard and then more directly when he told Jimmy he should set his catchphrase "I'll take care of it," to music. <br />That was a slap in the face but nothing compared to the one little Teddy got for pretending he had polio like his sister. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqF8MK4zyisBb9OguHvpphyphenhyphenFKI5xEyxmx3ri9NJZCfInctBKFvl3mCeC3ZvxX8lEZeKP2M6D0R8mPY7j0TGnxrMJ0pBVqWP65g1yX1Qm22MSkGaEEOuvRgN-Rqt9SEGXN4T6aYXhhaoGU/s1600/zbe12.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqF8MK4zyisBb9OguHvpphyphenhyphenFKI5xEyxmx3ri9NJZCfInctBKFvl3mCeC3ZvxX8lEZeKP2M6D0R8mPY7j0TGnxrMJ0pBVqWP65g1yX1Qm22MSkGaEEOuvRgN-Rqt9SEGXN4T6aYXhhaoGU/s400/zbe12.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680482558701622370" /></a><br />Nucky did his best to give Margaret a much needed break and took the attention starved cur to NYC. You see the look Nucky gave the lawyer when he reached onto his drawer and pulled out another Ty Cobb ball like no big deal. Who does this guy think he is, Mr. Mertle from <em>The Sandlot</em>? "GEORGE?!" <br />Nucky learned real quick he is going to have to pay if he is to have any shot of beating this thing. <br />Margaret got a similar message from the local priest and the outcome was just as dire. Padre was like Lisa McDowell as he preyed on Margaret's desire to show her faith. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqKPwwksEt-d6J0FLoUajuatZJPreLJ4h9jQMleXV1uTb4ab1ZLFc1PmlgC40IvQZjBNPFu8QsxnIdIBFgW4wYJGdHpIm1ofU2gPPQ5wjR8lPOmEY4Kn6YaUhpx89HdVquiZ6665kq5K8/s1600/zbe6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 285px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqKPwwksEt-d6J0FLoUajuatZJPreLJ4h9jQMleXV1uTb4ab1ZLFc1PmlgC40IvQZjBNPFu8QsxnIdIBFgW4wYJGdHpIm1ofU2gPPQ5wjR8lPOmEY4Kn6YaUhpx89HdVquiZ6665kq5K8/s400/zbe6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680486662165647714" /></a><br />That gesture of faith was worthless just like Nucky's previous lawyer's efforts. "Oh you made calls? Worth every penny."

Loved how after he basically told his deputy he got what was coming to him he made sure he knew how to best prepare the peas he brought him before leaving him to go on looking like an extra from a Marilyn Manson video. "Butter...salt...delicious."<br />Eli is on his own now having put his confidant out to pasture. In these uncertain times even the most savvy of leaders are turning to other for advice. Nucky bent Rothstein's ear in NYC and during the town hall meeting between Chalky and "young James" they both at one point looked to their counterpart for approval. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH40tY_QGnC8_yFF7IworORXdHKhQdQ0P87pXH8gYgzQ5fKilfOqyp4jtcG3eI5ez4k7m9lqmjjWJZ0MRyJT5F00Quz5k2bivmnZqJsvEuC6yhjUjDXAKX__15cb1drTPdqEOJp_lEJGE/s1600/zbe7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 205px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH40tY_QGnC8_yFF7IworORXdHKhQdQ0P87pXH8gYgzQ5fKilfOqyp4jtcG3eI5ez4k7m9lqmjjWJZ0MRyJT5F00Quz5k2bivmnZqJsvEuC6yhjUjDXAKX__15cb1drTPdqEOJp_lEJGE/s400/zbe7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680490953107140594" /></a><br />There was some nice nods to history with the newspaper headline about the Black Sox trial and the Sacco and Vanzetti quip by Nucky. We also learned about Nucky's sister who lost her life to the bottle. But what of little Teddy. He is a weird little guy is he not? The comment about seeing Nucky burn his dad's house down, looking at his father picture in his little box of treasures...there is something brewing in that kid's head. <br />While we wait for that story to develop we said goodbye to another with the untimely demise of Angela and her lover. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Pw_1GozSXPdqQKaaM-g7pGxGwk3wI97OES-QGzIIjFmhFu-TZpPdvsHsPKPVjyDiQLHSPT_jIKAI5Qf_RvhwupLUxEO24y5FBZLqR2jvnNzF-pLA4NRFfHMTSUghLinECdiIDQLOJpM/s1600/zbe9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 278px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Pw_1GozSXPdqQKaaM-g7pGxGwk3wI97OES-QGzIIjFmhFu-TZpPdvsHsPKPVjyDiQLHSPT_jIKAI5Qf_RvhwupLUxEO24y5FBZLqR2jvnNzF-pLA4NRFfHMTSUghLinECdiIDQLOJpM/s400/zbe9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680493932683634002" /></a><br />Manny told her the most important thing is your health, which Jimmy tried to take from him rather than pay the debt he owed. So when Angela offered him money he instead took her life, to deliver a message to Jimmy and in the end showed Angela "Who's the Boss." (Ouch! Too Soon?) It did appear to me that Manny pulled the trigger regretfully, but in order to stay true to the game his hand was forced. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgicckuBgqbQVfXdIxLH_8zdXrznQd9EzoUZlQdAZB_W1uT26jwT7QoKUUsiaaLh9ZQ4TUEVTFbX4XVZJdUd1NSuXP9pgx1Y5GM3u0orqfGSAuR9e7p7OmB4Ajfx7hrOqrsR8tPCIMqu10/s1600/zbe8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgicckuBgqbQVfXdIxLH_8zdXrznQd9EzoUZlQdAZB_W1uT26jwT7QoKUUsiaaLh9ZQ4TUEVTFbX4XVZJdUd1NSuXP9pgx1Y5GM3u0orqfGSAuR9e7p7OmB4Ajfx7hrOqrsR8tPCIMqu10/s400/zbe8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680494113814948866" /></a>The final scene Angela and Jimmy shared was touching, even if we didn't really believe Jimmy would change, and we of course knew he was never going to be "the person" she wanted him to be. Not without a pair of sharp scissors, some implants and a whole lotta hormones. The shocking murder ranked up there with some of the most disturbing I've seen on TV. It was almost foreshadowed in the aforementioned scene at their house where Jimmy stood drinking while outside their his "dirty laundry" flapped on the clothes line. Angela prepared a vase of flowers as if arranging her own funeral. <br />I cannot imagine what this is going to do to Jimmy. Perhaps it will be a rallying point for Capone and the others and they will get behind their coach and run the picket fence on the entire East Coast. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQH43pyJlx9PVcU3cOlBX6nPAAm6ad56Qcx5SqlDpe8nZUUTl-rne6w9Vv6c-RxBcp-JwHEA-EbiLz8kOZu5QBraW1YOW8LHlOi1wgqpbMCyUB0J2YSA7w4tZaGn9W-pfgFZH68ld40b0/s1600/zbe11.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQH43pyJlx9PVcU3cOlBX6nPAAm6ad56Qcx5SqlDpe8nZUUTl-rne6w9Vv6c-RxBcp-JwHEA-EbiLz8kOZu5QBraW1YOW8LHlOi1wgqpbMCyUB0J2YSA7w4tZaGn9W-pfgFZH68ld40b0/s400/zbe11.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680494403579412178" /></a>CHRIShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18113969287491282063noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1875545143025689913.post-87492014416021926002011-11-23T08:49:00.000-08:002011-11-23T12:47:21.878-08:00"What Goes Around, Comes Back Around Again"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI7y2oTRkCKffgtsjyRRXDm0e1-sd-qYqS9oA3zLHj6sK3yruxGO2XZCaFSwySEPMjA2BSo3Uj9EXPqm7DancKW9n7qO6EK3F8oVT2CmpPWALCTDgyfSEwJ9UaOIlICgOsVuRNL85UtZ8/s1600/1be3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI7y2oTRkCKffgtsjyRRXDm0e1-sd-qYqS9oA3zLHj6sK3yruxGO2XZCaFSwySEPMjA2BSo3Uj9EXPqm7DancKW9n7qO6EK3F8oVT2CmpPWALCTDgyfSEwJ9UaOIlICgOsVuRNL85UtZ8/s400/1be3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678236205126996706" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dPDmuzmw54">We gonna hit it down like this, y'all know the flav...</a>I know Jimmy told Remus he is currently looking for an office, but that set up in his house on the beach was pretty picturesque.

He didn't seem to appreciate Doyle's suggestion too much nor did Doyle seem to show any real respect for Jimmy's new authority when he skeptically called him the new puba.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsgwVRjZlp_p5s9GVBNWNWfyXwx2xsyKwKbNSMrl6haBquOBWB5JSU54HbYqhxS-6RY9ThdCGfPVRUKzT_z5WsC-h61lZO05Bp4_JeyFzpjQxR7sB2OeAMMcoxAi1VWDibBebY_PjbR_o/s1600/1be.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 228px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsgwVRjZlp_p5s9GVBNWNWfyXwx2xsyKwKbNSMrl6haBquOBWB5JSU54HbYqhxS-6RY9ThdCGfPVRUKzT_z5WsC-h61lZO05Bp4_JeyFzpjQxR7sB2OeAMMcoxAi1VWDibBebY_PjbR_o/s400/1be.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678237466201386994" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6suCzfSsiVYSJpMN7Ml4LXGevuzml9G1xrbT-X26XDWljgfFWMovPHYovlOmRfTY8owiws6nAkB-4r6AINTvp96fIQnEI9baY95Wtni-koDUILYWZLl7V4b3QzY0T8lEt7KB8z5Mtm8Y/s1600/1be2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 235px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6suCzfSsiVYSJpMN7Ml4LXGevuzml9G1xrbT-X26XDWljgfFWMovPHYovlOmRfTY8owiws6nAkB-4r6AINTvp96fIQnEI9baY95Wtni-koDUILYWZLl7V4b3QzY0T8lEt7KB8z5Mtm8Y/s400/1be2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678237461683690146" /></a><br />As for Manny he is lucky nobody on this show can hit the broad side of a barn when it comes to shooting someone point blank. Our own Brownie Luciano had a great comment earlier in the week when we were discussing this anomaly. He didn't understand why the guy who was sent to kill Nucky didn't just wait until he was right in front of Nucky to shoot him. The guy drew his gun while he was still 10 yards away. Brownie genius likened it to a wide receiver running 50 yards with his hands in the air to catch a pass. Getting back to Manny it may have helped if the guy actually opened his eyes when he pulled the trigger.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O07GWfrxjrE/Ts0pbUt9otI/AAAAAAAAH1Q/6q03wf-MAJc/1600/1be10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdjHWjdvKwQ1No87e-2l3LU1GGqa35OyV6P4V3RRR5d32GPSryiM47Pwro-ODg0HYOsKx5F23fb02s_SIV_dMxlpH4mMeNTx8zxoOFX4fwgw5h1GjItJgE1qpR52H14SUGdMWwk76k5YQ/s400/1be10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678240254578762450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8hsQmJ3rs5BSGYI8TU-kZLalhaUjAbW13A_wtYmHULR774qQSvq3Z5vksXViCv-92W27nOJRle9Me6QHhhI2Nf6eQ4of-Qd1x1NUJmcB3oEdRiiUpUjThQozH-xj-cDEQgchWpmDTGso/s1600/1be17.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8hsQmJ3rs5BSGYI8TU-kZLalhaUjAbW13A_wtYmHULR774qQSvq3Z5vksXViCv-92W27nOJRle9Me6QHhhI2Nf6eQ4of-Qd1x1NUJmcB3oEdRiiUpUjThQozH-xj-cDEQgchWpmDTGso/s320/1be17.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678240694940731186" /></a>The guy paid the price for being a moron.

I previously thought the guys had killed him in the jail cell, but I guess they just beat him good. I wouldn't be too presumptuous in thinking the white merchants in Atlantic City will have no alternative if all the black workers go on strike. Purnsley asked his fellow kitchen workers what the boss men would do if they said they would no longer work for this slop. Three words my man...Mex-I-Co. Cheap labor is just across the border. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKwLFEKWH8dUj6STs9VcuT9jeqv6EtnrFTaSBHfyS0BYw9uzkuXX2_d7C81KA4NiBHI0gC1fib4WeptITXT8Zakk7FaW7PfBdCWQe5Qiyq7sfnpFofKrrX2GKpg771cNAJRKsEmyZcPDo/s1600/1be11.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKwLFEKWH8dUj6STs9VcuT9jeqv6EtnrFTaSBHfyS0BYw9uzkuXX2_d7C81KA4NiBHI0gC1fib4WeptITXT8Zakk7FaW7PfBdCWQe5Qiyq7sfnpFofKrrX2GKpg771cNAJRKsEmyZcPDo/s400/1be11.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678245199307550674" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhapZQCwnTPC1eJ2AvfZgePgmyOKdSClMLneDzRl2D1nhV9eA9-L-twySwMNDdNt8FLUNTjD2wsznpuYGpG38h1vL1V6GL30h4V5LwWebQJwQEEcS8MFF1OwO4oDrZF73eP-fGUUgjE2s4/s1600/1be5.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 307px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhapZQCwnTPC1eJ2AvfZgePgmyOKdSClMLneDzRl2D1nhV9eA9-L-twySwMNDdNt8FLUNTjD2wsznpuYGpG38h1vL1V6GL30h4V5LwWebQJwQEEcS8MFF1OwO4oDrZF73eP-fGUUgjE2s4/s320/1be5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5678245594517467794" /></a>The scenes in Ireland were pretty intense and Owen was right in the thick of things. You could tell by the way he kept switching his gaze to and from the IRA brass that he knew what was coming. <br />I really like this Sleater fellow and even more so after we saw how upset he was as he read aloud the telegram about Emily to Nucky. While it is important to note that Margaret blamed herself for her daughter's sickness and thinks God is punishing her for her sins I can't even begin to get into that whole polio storyline.

Jimmy and Richard picked up the local B's at the fight broadcast. Loved the how aggressive the one B was telling her friend she wanted first crack at the king. And yay for Richard, it looked like his B was sort of turned on by the phantom of the baordwalk look after being initially freaked out.
