OK phew dunno where to even begin with this episode my emotions are just EVERYWHERE.

~spoilers and stuff

~~ Why they gotta kill my boy Mr.Slater :lame: and I mean they express mailed him back to Nuky thats just cold. The way Margret reacted it was almost like she had a soul and the conversation at the end between her and owen was bringing a tear to my eye.

~~ Finally get to see how Lucky and Meyer begin to make their move on Rothstein. I wonder if Massaria is going to go after Rothstein himself or have Lucky/Meyer handle it for him.

~~ I think Richard is gonna end up running off with the girl and lil tommy after he kills that chicks dad cause he’s got bout one more time to say some shit to his daughter before Richard just goes ahead and finishes choking him out.

~~ Capone gettin at Van Alden is funny cause I doubt Van Alden knows jack shit about anything going on in the north or south side.

I really wanted Margaret and Owen to run away together to never be seen again :frowning:

You just KNOW who Nucky is gonna call to take of business now dont you?

Even if Marg and Owen would have made it out,thieir happiness would have been short lived so I think that outcome was for the best.

Val Alden and Chicago is way more interesting than lame ass Nucky.

nah it would have been the best cuz we wouldnt have to see margaret anymore lol

and the answer was Harrow, nuckys gonna get harrow to do a hit for him

I really doubt Nucky would even consider Harrow…they’ve never worked together and harrow works for jimmy’s mom.

Owen was getting kinda lame, saw his death the moment the plan was laid out. The revelation at the end was beautiful.

Gyp once again proves why he’s a terrifying psychopath. He’s what I wished Skyfall’s Silva could’ve been. I hope his comeuppance is slow and painful, and not asphyxiation, cuz he’d love that.

I’m crossing my fingers hoping that Harrow makes it out of this hellhole and actually gets to enjoy life. I just have a feeling he’s in for one more major hurdle.

Finally caught the episode

  • owen lost focus… sorry it was his time to go down. youre about to try to assassinate one of the most powerful mafia bosses an you DONT expect him to be prepared?? i knew it was a wrap when it was only him an the philly cop that went in!!

  • lucky an meyer know how to play their hand as so smoothly taught by roth. now as history gives us when do they get their hands dirty an take out massarina themselves? an i admire i it all business with meyer… u can call me all the names an despise me…etc…etc… but are we gonna get this money

  • damn gyp… from joker back to his crazy ish. didn’t have to do the man dirty like that in front of his own… i really think that will come back to bite him

  • nucky is fuccin up judgement wise… i get it now… funny thing was it took his meeting with chalky to do it. chalky wanted to do business in the way nucky ALWAYS wanted too for once even gave more of the incentive (blacks on stage whites in teh crowd… real fancy like) but all of a sudden nucky wanted to be on his vengeance/gangsta mode… “…you not the only one thinking” <— a very strong line indeed.

  • so all the backseat frolicin in the ford T-model finally knock ol lady margeret up… this should be REAL good. Her ‘collapse’ seeing ol’ box in the wile e coyote shipping crate just told the story… let alone i dont think nucky remembers she sat in on his grand scheme meeting…

  • [S]Van alden[/S] George is classic… sorry that guy can act his ass off. LMAO its like he can’t catch a break i swear its sad but comical every time!

  • Capone is a die hard family man…aggressive an crazy in his own right but it seems when it comes to family he snaps. The moment george mentioned how he ‘tryin to earn to take care of his family’ capone snaps wit the hilarious fork in the jaw move (nice camera work on that one)…

  • I really hope not. I hope harrow lets his path ride out an his climax simply be he offs jimmys mom an takes the kid… thats it. I actually liked how he found someone that CARES an doesnt use him… i mean jeez the poor guy was ready to kill himself last season… let him be happy an roll out on that tip.

I personally found a lot out from Harrow from the past couple of eps. Like his prayer which I felt the delivery was more genuine than most other practitioners of the faith. His badass defense of his woman to the drunky dad and him actually showing some balls as opposed to following orders coldly. I find it interesting that kind of like Margret, he’s probably the only other character that get’s genuine concern and sympathy from other characters. Maybe because with them, they are outsiders to “the business.” Well as much as they can without the need to make power plays.

As for Owen…holy shit man. The internets just went into boycott mode. Which I find funny because Breaking Bad kills off people all the time and still people are hooked. But just because a few swooning by the Irish accent girls are butthurt, they are willing to stop watching the show. Nucky’s getting fucky.

OC

Have you ever killed anyone?
Let me show you how easy it is
bang o_O
:rofl: Stephen Root is such a great actor, since the first episode he appeared in I’ve really enjoyed his presence

Owen sucked :coffee:

That’s how he was in real life too. He knew he’d never be truly accepted amongst his fellow Italians, but gettin’ dat money proper was his motto.

Yeah. Not only for Harrow but for the lil boy too. Can’t have Jimmy 2.0 stickin’ his 60 year old crazy-ass bordello granny. shudders

Likewise… Gaston Means is gentleman, even when doing the dirty. I love how he keeps it cool even in a potentially lethal situation, and his vernacular and aphorisms are amusing.

That was a great scene, I thought he was so fucked there and theyve killed off cooler dudes too. Looking back I wish they woulda kept Manny alive he was a dope character.

I think they’ll have Margaret get an abortion… its been leading up to it with all the contraception and shit and the woman losing her baby earlier on being foreshadowing.

Found this by accident. Richard Harrow sounds like a wiseguy wtf?! :looney:

Anything that causes Margaret to feel misery is a plus. Irish bro dying was worth it, just for that. I’m always cracking up at things that clearly aren’t intended to be funny in this show. Van Alden’s life is a comedy. I immediately died laughing when the Italian mob boss got the killstreak reward on Nucky’s assassins and sent him a care package with Owen’s folded up body in it. Hahahahaha. Hold that shit.

And once again I had my booty cheeks clenched when homeboy was telling Gyp about the wind and waves. “Dude just shut the fuck up about the wind and waves before he kills you in the most horrible way imaginable.” Out of respect I’ll bash your cousin’s dome off with a shovel instead of letting him drown, because I truly do like you. Oh, and you owe me now. k, bye.

Fantastic Episode.

~~I’m curious to see what Richard is going to do now. I hope he goes terminator in the cat house and just cleans everyone out.

~~Nuki finding out who his true friends are and finally Mr.White gettin more screen time yay!

~~Motha Fuckin Al Fuckin Capone bout to put in that work.

~~someone please smack the shit outta jimmy’s mom PLEASE.

Capone to the rescue:clapdos:

Richard better cap that bitch FFS :mad:

One of the best episodes of the series! Though I have to say this was the weakest season so far its still one of the best shows out.

Capone: We’ve been on the road for 18 hours. I need a bath, some chow and then you and me sit down and we talk about who dies.

So G!

Spoiler
  • Shame to see Luciano get busted, Shoulda listened to Meyer!
  • Nice to see Nucky not treat his butler like garbage for once, Buscemi really shined this episode acting wise
  • The opening scene with Nucky and the Shotty was fucking EPIC
  • In the preview for the next episode you see harrow packing up a LOT of firepower.

Best part was the end and when Gyp got his dog back.

Seriously. Every episode next season needs to be like these last two eps. The writers are lucky that they have such strong supporting characters, because they dropped the ball on Nucky’s story this season. I’m here to watch gangsters make moves, not fucking women’s education clinics and extramarital affairs.
