Watched season 1 over the weekend, LOVED IT!

I'm going to wait until season 2 finishes before I start it so I can binge on it over another weekend. If a show isn't episodic, I cannot stand waiting for weekly episodes.

Gertner 11-02-2011 09:21 PM

You are going to LOVE season 2. So much is going on and I hate having to wait a week.

Gertner 11-08-2011 11:24 AM

Wow, so much stuff happened Sunday. Incredible episode!

Ol Dirty Dastard 11-13-2011 11:00 AM

Yeah man, this show is even better this season. And it's like "Where the FUCK can it even go?". So many possibilities. I want Eli to be disposed of.

Gertner 11-13-2011 02:13 PM

Me too, he's such a fucking snake.

Ol Dirty Dastard 11-13-2011 02:39 PM

I feel like Jimmy may be the one to do it. He seems to have a particular dislike for him.

Gertner 11-13-2011 05:11 PM

I agree, or maybe Luciano or Capone since they both fly of the rails.

Ol Dirty Dastard 11-15-2011 10:25 AM

ARGGGGGGGGGGH Sunday was AMAZING. Classic scene when Torio, Rothstein and Nucky were all together and they realized there was some fishy business afoot. Rothstein is one of the most understated, amazing characters on the show. Always has amazing pearls of wisdom.

Gertner 11-15-2011 11:41 AM

lol i have it DVR'd and am watching it tonight.

Finally watched this past Sunday's episode. Wow, I wonder how Nucky's "resigning" will play out?

Ol Dirty Dastard 11-17-2011 03:33 PM

Was absolute genius though.

Lock Jaw 11-17-2011 04:35 PM

Just caught up with the last three episodes. I always seem to somehow fall exactly three episodes behind.

Anyways, Nucky obviously has some devious plan in the works. Can't wait to see what it is.

Also, I concur about Rothstein being an amazing character.

Gertner 11-19-2011 09:18 AM

Can't believe season 2 is almost done. Gonna be a long wait.

Ol Dirty Dastard 11-28-2011 12:33 PM

I know Manny is probably going to die, but jesus Christ, he is the fucking man Boychik.

Gertner 11-28-2011 01:02 PM

lol haven't watched last nights episode yet, but I can't fucking wait

Gertner 12-01-2011 10:53 AM

HOLY SHIT WHAT AN EPISODE!!!!!!!! Jimmy's wife was so hott too :(

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-03-2011 03:18 AM

lol she had to go B-) needed to feed her to Horvitz to build him as a threat!

CSL 12-03-2011 03:36 AM

wondering if they'll push Harrow off the back of this, :heart: him

RoXer 12-05-2011 04:59 PM

Loved this week's episode more than last.

Requiem 12-05-2011 05:13 PM

Yeah, damn. Talk about some mommy issues. Always thought there was something more in that already messed up situation.

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-06-2011 11:05 AM

It was more than just that though. The whole episode was surreal.

Gertner 12-11-2011 03:34 PM

Awesome episode. Can't believe it's the season finale tonight already!

Gertner 12-12-2011 12:12 PM

HOLY FUCK JIMMY"S DEAD!!!!!!!!!!! I hope Nucky kicks the shit out of Margaret. what a bitch.

Gertner 12-12-2011 12:51 PM

lol I need to know more people who watch this show. I wanted to rant and rave last night but just ended up yelling at my cat.

Tommy Gunn 12-12-2011 03:00 PM

Jimmy! :|

Poor Richard has lost his best bud.

Requiem 12-12-2011 03:15 PM

Anyone else think Richard is going to do something completely off the wall?

RoXer 12-12-2011 04:26 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

:(

yes

Gertner 12-12-2011 05:21 PM

Start banging Jimmy's mom

Gertner 12-13-2011 01:20 PM

Knowing what I know from researching the Mob in school, Van Alden and Capone are going to be intertwined. It showed in the last episode the Van Alden moved to Cicero, Illinois, which is where the headquarters were for Al Capone in real life.

CSL 12-13-2011 01:44 PM

about time Stephen Graham/Capone had a bigger role, he's been excellent for years

Skippord 12-13-2011 04:32 PM

hope Harrow snaps, turns heel, and turns into a badass sniping machine

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-14-2011 10:24 PM

So. Intense.

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-16-2011 07:46 AM

I think that the show has officially peeked. I don't think it can be as good as it was this season. At the very least it'll need season three to build up to a huge season four crescendo. Killing off Jimmy while I'll say was the right move because it was logical as far as the characters and plot go, removes a key element from the show. One they may have to build back up over time.

Though Harrow could take over from Jimmy's role. It's hard to say at this point.

Lock Jaw 12-16-2011 06:35 PM

HOLY SHIT.

Once again I fell exactly three episodes behind. Caught up and finished the season today.

Honestly have no idea where this show goes without Jimmy.

Jimmy was a dead man walking. I can see the plots kinda of dividing off. From a historical perspective it looks like Capone and Van Alden will have their own little thing, Luciano's rise will occur soon and Nucky/ Margaret and wherever that's going leads me to believe a bunch of different stories, all intertwining at some point.

Tommy Gunn 12-17-2011 03:55 PM

SPOILER: show
It was a HOLY SHIT moment for me when Jimmy's wife got popped, I couldn't believe it. I was sad to see her go, and then Jimmy get's killed off... :wtf:

I'll be completely honest, this has gone from a must see show to something I'm probably leave behind, maybe in the future I'll check out season 3. I was pretty invested in Jimmy as the 2nd main character. It'd be like killing Scully in the early seasons of The X Files.

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-18-2011 02:09 PM

Explain logically how they could have kept him alive without it going against everything the show is about. As Gert said best, he was a dead man walking. If the writing had no balls they'd have kept him alive. But they went the route that epic drama goes, and they killed a main character. Don't let mancrushes get in the way of watching good television. I would imagine to make up for it, Richard Harrow is going to play a much bigger part, which can never be a bad thing.
