I think I'm going to have to save up episodes from this show. I love it a lot, but I just have too much to watch right now. It's hard to keep track of whats going on watching it week to week.

Ya, last year it was on the bottom of my shows to watch that came on Sunday nights. Sunday just has so many awesome shows. I now look forward to this more than Dexter and the Dead.

I honestly could not pick a favorite. This show is just what legends are made of. It is starting to get to the level of the Wire, character wise. Originally Posted by YouAreSick

Holy cow things got crazy. They seem to alternate between busy episodes and 'OMGWTF' episodes.
There was so much emphasis on Soldiers, Generals, and Traitors I don't even know what to think... Gonna have to rewatch it this week to help things sink in.

I haven't caught up yet. Too much to do, so I've missed the last two (now three) episodes. But I'll catch up with it soon. It's really getting more interesting though as far as story and character depths

I never thought I'd say it but I'm lovin Michael Shannon and Paz De Le Huerta ( Van Alden and Lucy ). It's just so strange and entertaining. I almost died at the awesome "I brought lemons" quote from last episode.

Yes... it was an intense episode for sure. Probably the best of the season so far. Originally Posted by Halicia

I got a sneaking suspicion Nucky's gonna try and strike a deal with the IRA involving guns. (And no, I didn't go and read 'spoilers' from the history available).
It was interesting to see the bosses meet up though, as well as the short asides that showed their relative intellect... "Is Romulus his partner or something ?".

One of my favorite shows of all time. Basis' a lot of it's plot on real characters, however what happens in the show isn't historically accurate at all.

Just noticed Dominic Chianese playing one of the alderman. Uncle Junior if you don't recognize the name. Really should give him more screen time

2011-12-05, 06:56 AM #35I think the problem with Jimmy and his mom is that we ABSOLUTELY KNEW something jacked up happened, but we really didn't want to admit that it was incest. Also, I was pretty sad that his hot lesbian wife was killed in the previous episode. Originally Posted by Disenchanted

Oh, the kid is Angela's no doubt about it. Think about it: If you're a young woman, are you going to knowingly go along with THAT? No way. Originally Posted by Kankuri

On "Game of Thrones," we all know about Jaime and Cersei (twincest!)
Now we have Oedipus Darmody.
HBO: It's not TV. It's red hot incest action.
Did I miss any? Surely there must have been something on Oz, or maybe Carnivale.

If you like slow burns and good character studies, yes. If you want faster pace shows with a lot of action, maybe not. Originally Posted by MorTvicR

A better way to put it is: If you like mafia type stories/shows/movies for the story and characters, you'll like this. If you like those kinds of things just to see people getting whacked and families going to the mattresses, you may be let down. Oh, those things happen, but not often enough for the ADD crowd.

I think the season has been more action-packed but also a lot messier plot-wise. I just didn't like how the earlier episodes jumped around the characters. Van Alden was in an episode and then he'd disappear for two, or Chalky having an episode to himself and now he's been out of the picture most of the season. I also felt they knocked out the Commodore too early in the season, and that's where the plot started to jump all over the place. Unfortunately, I was spoiled in October on a message board about what would happen in the last three episodes, but I do hope the finale will still be thrilling enough. If you truly want to know what happens, you can pm me. Otherwise, I envy you and enjoy the finale.
