Harrow storylines are never irrelevant.

Obviously the question of the second half of the season: Who is Teddy going to stab in the face? The obvious answer after last night might be Owen, but I guess we'll see. The biggest issue with Margaret's storyline is beyond the fact it's kinda pointless, it just occupies time when other, better storylines and characters could be explored. I hope they try and trim the fat a little by seasons end, if they could resolve half the storylines by the end the show still has great, great potential going forward.

I thought the first four episodes of the season were great but the last two were pretty meh. In fact the latest one was flat out boring, possibly the worst episode of the series as Ark2 mentioned in his post.

I echo the sentiment of others here, Margaret's storyline is very uninteresting. They need to stay focused on the more compelling characters.

"Let him go"
"Or what?"
"I'll kill you"

Richard Harrow is a badass.

So why kill Jimmy Two then? I thought she would find a way to use him to stage his death to make it appear that Jimmy killed himself, so he would be declared dead. But obviously with his body in that shape there is no way she can use him in that way.

So what was the point of the whole thing? Unless she wanted to place some symbolism in Jimmy dying, but it was rather strange.

It was all about ownership of the house - with 'Jimmy' dead, she now owns it outright.

But that's exactly what she did.
She made it look like he OD'd on heroin and drown in the tub.

This show is done really well but get on with it already. Its starting to get boring. It takes them so long to develop anything. You have to watch 4 episodes to see anything exciting.

Yeah, I'm getting pretty frustrated with it now.
Every week becomes another prolonged tease towards the plot lines that could be coming.
These episodes are feeling like filler, when the real story lines are there and not being pursued yet.
7 Episodes in is enough already, get on with it.

Definitely saw Jimmy #2 getting killed, just not as disturbingly as she ended up doing it. Funniest part would be if he knocked her up before she shot him up. And when she said "It's heroin, dear", I just couldn't help but laugh. Still gotta echo the almost directionless nature of the show right now. Said it before but the show needs to lose some characters and simplify things a bit. I mean have we seen Chalky White or Al Capone for more than 15 minutes this season?

I used to watch all the Sunday shows the first chance I got back to back. For the last 3-4 weeks though, I watch all but Boardwalk Empire and it sits until mid-week as the desire fades. Still haven't felt the urge to watch Sunday's episode yet.

I think they kind of showed what Nucky's true feelings for Billie were when he chinned that actor. Now she's gone - I'm hoping he's got some serious bloodlust.

Loved the scene with the iron salesmen taking the piss out of Van Alden - totally saw it coming but still loved it!

Looks like there might be more than one war going on too. Obviously it's on between Nucky/Rothstein/Luciano and Rosetti, but it looks like there might be a war in Chicago as well between Capone and O'Bannion. And it looks like Van Alden might be recruited by O'Bannion, which I hope is the case because I love it when Van Alden is in badass mode. Loved the scene with the iron to the face. I also like his wife, who seems equally badass.

I've had enough of Margaret, Carmella and Skylar. And although she is not the wife of the main character, I hate Breaking Bads' Marie the most. If I liked that sort of crap I would watch Sex in the City or Desperate Housewives.
