Spoiler!

To me it seems like Harrow and Jimmy were not really getting along well at the end of last season. However, Harrow was very hurt by Angela being killed. I agree that he did it to avenge Angela. It will be interesting to see if he becomes a lone wolf that starts picking off people that were involved, or if he joins Nucky's group

I can really see Harrow becoming a lot like Omar in the Wire.

Can we all agree that discussing anything in an already aired episode doesn't need a spoiler tag?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Richard is totally gonna take out Gillian and raise Jimmy's kid on his own. At least I hope so.

[Knut]

Episode two was intriguing.

Nucky is losing grip on reality and Rosetti adds an interesting wrinkle to things.

Spoiler!

I think Nucky's mistress may end up dead at the Hands of Rothstein. She is starting to cost him money with Nucky out of it.

[Coys1882]

Now - what did Nucky do with that razor? Did he flip it? I think he's going to see someone he knows with a razor cut and go bananas.

Interesting thought... was trying to figure out that scene as well.
Something we'll likely see come to play next week.

I don't understand what Rosetti thinks he's doing challenging both Nucky and Rothstein, unless they're just trying to portray him as a hot head.

i think that's the whole point, they introduced him as a character that beat a good samaritan to death for a simple remark

[Mike F]

Likely, but I hope not. A thoughtless hot head is a much less interesting foe than a smart, tactical one.

Someone has to step in to fill the void left by Jimmy's departure, and it can't just be a collection of semi interesting characters each trying to do a bit.

Great to see Stephen Root, as always. Hope his character pops in often.

yep, i knew it was him the second we heard his voice through the door. and my first reaction was "Milton!"

[Coys1882]

He'll always be Jimmy James from Newsradio for me. God I loved that show.

[SportsJunky]

Very slow episode I thought tonight. I liked how Nucky dealt with his problem at the end. Also, Al is a badass.

[Knut]

I thought it was a fantastic episode. Really showed how far Nucky has gone.

Spoiler!

Rowland should have stuck with the story that he was 16

Also..... Stephen Graham is doing a fantastic acting job in this.

[Coys1882]

What a great scene in the shootout tonight - that guy is a total nut.

[VANFLAMESFAN]

Gyp running around with the gun and a raging hard on was hilarious.

Good lord is Margret's sub-plot ever painful.

Agreed, I can't believe how much they have dedicated this season to that story. I get that they want to push the issues women faced back then, but really is this the type of show that needs to waste its time on that? Nucky's infidelities, and her dealing with it should have been enough of a story for Margaret this season. Kelly McDonald is still pretty damn hot, so there is that, but that's not enough for me to give a damn about her right now.

The same sort of goes for what Van Alden is doing this season. While his story advanced a bit this past episode, and it would be interesting if he starts working for Mazzotti it still is a shame he is no longer a Fed, or directly combating prohibition in some way. I wonder if there were filming issues with Michael Shannon since he is busy with many other projects right now.

I also hope they bring back Harrow back into the fold as well, as it would be a complete shame if they wrote him off for good a couple episodes ago.

With Gyp still alive I wonder if it is going to lead to a big war in New York. I can't remember his name, but Gyp's boss had a shaky truce with Rothstein and there is no way that Gyp doesn't know that the hit came from New York. The next episode should be quite exciting.

Oh really? I thought he'd think it came from Nucky since he just got removed from business by Rothstein. I also thought Rothstein maybe planned it that way to get Nucky out of the way.
