Damn that was a good episode of television.  I give it an A and Noel Murray a chastisement.  Though I have appreciated him for standing up for this show the way he has done this season.  I honestly didn't see how the season couldn't have started to go f*ck nuts like it is right now.  There was way to much f*cked up…

* Angela's murder was an A+ payoff for the side narrative regarding her bisexuality because it tied the whole thing back into the main narrative, rather than have it simply fizzle out under the recurring headline of "also in Atlantic City regarding a character tangentially related to our story…"

I agree.  I think a lot of his failures stem from the fact that he never really seems to have had his heart in this betrayal.  Everytime—up to and including Eli's "just kill him!" bit—someone has brought up the question of why Jimmy won't just whack Nucky, I've thought "Yeah, I was wondering…".  I think it's…

Chang will connect the dots in no time.

Yeah, Boardwalk's previews are particularly misleading, but I was kinda taken in by this latest one.  Maybe the piano solo was what caught my attention.

I kind of like it.  If nothing else, it's interesting how it seems to throw off everyone but Jimmy and Richard, who are the only two WWI vets who've featured prominently in the series.

I wasn't saying he's stupid.  Just that he's already a failure as the boss of AC.

Those whooers, as Ralph Cifaretto would call them—I wouldn't trust 'em.  Manny's a sly old man.

Is Michael Pitt officially a part of the regular cast for next season?

Running AC.  How does he suck at being Harrow's wingman?  She hopped in Harrow's lap after only a moment's hesitation.  Not to mention the hooker-on-the-house from last season.  Jimmy's the boss, Jimmy gets first pick.

Jimmy sucks at his new job.

Your sentence implies that Nietzsche saw TV in HIS day and rather enjoyed it.

That kind of plot would only improve the show.  It turns out Alex has a secret fantasy to see his girlfriend with other men.  Their 3-year-relationship-that-isn't-a-marriage is put to the test when Alex asks Whitney if she'll take a line up of cocks.  She agrees.  Hijinx ensue.

He isn't the type.  But he f*cked the boss's mistress/commonlaw wife.

Perhaps Manny and Philly in general are going to become some kind of big bad for Season 3?  I would say that Jimmy could go into hiding in Chicago or NYC, but after that scene with them in this episode he certainly won't be welcomed by Torrio or Rothstein, respectively.

Has it occured to anyone that Nucky and Jimmy can't very well BOTH stay alive, out of prison, out in the open, and in Atlantic City for Season Three?  Unless this season ends with a pretty significant cliffhanger, that is.

B+ is an insult.

Nucky has been no where near faithful to Margaret.  The first shot of him in this season has a random naked woman in his lap.

"Tossed out" has nothing to do with it.  At least in Italian and Italian-American organized crime, fooling around with another man's wife or girlfriend is a death sentence.  I'm expecting Owen will be a recurring character until such time as his impropriety is discovered.  Then, I'm suspecting he'll either be murdered…

I'd imagine tongue kissing would pose a challenge for poor Richard.
