But they have stellar wig-gluing technology

she was supposed to be Polish

no idea what this means

Maybe Watson's childhood was boring. We've learned a great deal about her character.

I hope you're kidding, because if you aren't kidding, you're stupid.

Will predict again that Roy is connected to Dead Fake Jimmy

history is not a spoiler. O'Banion is going to get murdered, probably this season. Rothstein will be murdered in 1928. Masseria in 1931. Luciano will live to see old age, but not before he's deported. Lansky will live to a ripe old age and avoid any serious conviction for anything.

"withdrawing"

Calling that sob story "fraud", in the criminal sense, is a little strong. Sleazy, but not fraud. Now if they're misrepresenting the land or whatever, that's different.

Is there a possessive apostrophe in the middle of "Oliver"?

We like Esther Randolph because the character is interesting, the actress is excellent, and it means that the people who bitch and moan about not enough women on BE can't bitch and moan quite as much. And maybe we also like Esther because she's never murdered anyone.

"Public Enemies", the book that the Johnny Depp movie used as source material, was basically about that—the FBI came into being in the form we recognize it to chase all the bank robbers (not just B&C). The "BI" in this time frame actually didn't even have arrest power, they just assisted local cops.

Arundel wins the Most Humorless Post Of The Day award

Which made her even more irritating, that she strikes that moralist tone while doing all those things.

Does Viagra change your eye color? I thought Stevie just got some really terrible colored contacts.

Is that such a bad thing, though? Giving Jessica her own struggle? Or would we rather have a female lead who was socially awkward like Stuart is?

Overall I'm enjoying this season but I'm not enjoying how much the Will plot is hitting all the same notes as Jimmy's arc. Dropped out of college, wants to join Nucky in a life of crime, that will work out well.

The deacon had figured out that Dunn is the one dealing heroin?

Why on earth would the client want to know their names? You're overthinking this. It was a bullshit story to lure in marks.

O'Banion, who pretty clearly set up Torrio to get arrested.
