Ha ha…I can still remember the horror of discovering that it was actually a Christian rock album. I don't know why all the 'Heavens' ion the single didn't clue me in?

Fred Durst, circa 1999: "Nice demo guys, but I feel like it needs something else…"

@avclub-72c26dade152f790ddc1cb0559c2ba96:disqus  It is. The local 'Modern Rock' station (which seems to mean '3 or 4 Arcade Fire songs, Mumford and Sons, and a whole lotta garbage from the 90s') plays it every once in awhile.

With all due respect to the hunger-dunger, i always liked my gf's term for groups like this : Way-Hey bands. As in " a-WAAAAAAaaAAY uh-HEEEEEEeeeEEEEY!"

Between the long scraggly hair and brooding faces, and everyone looking at the camera except one guy, and the dark clothes with the bright background (DICHOTOMY!) it could only be a 'grunge' album. In fact, this may be the most quintessential 'grunge' cover ever, since I'm sure Madonna and her execs sat down in front…

Wait, there are other ones?

@avclub-ab63243d415513c2307a6ff350832d10:disqus And from what I gathered from his speech in this last episode, that rage is genetic. So I guess with "Thompson Rage" you can either either release it slowly, through a daily pissiness regime, or let it out by having a whole bunch of kids and occasionally murdering…

I'd like it even better if it was Richard Harrow doing the voice-over and Micky Doyle doing the sign language in the bottom corner.

@RedScarab:disqus  He didn't accept the oranges, did he? I hear in the world of the mafia, citrus sign of impending death! Or maybe it's eggs? I can't keep it straight…

@RedScarab:disqus I feel the same way. It's hard putting my finger on it, but I think part of the problem is that this show used to have 3 main narrative POVs to the Atlantic City underworld, Nucky, Jimmy and Margaret, which each brought something interesting to the table. With Nucky we got to see the power-broker…

The Oneders/Wonders would be unbearable just because it'd be a solid 90 minutes of them just playing that one song over and over again. Kind of like the movie….

dang it! Beat me to it.

My one real complaint with the Gus character is that we didn't get to find out more about his backstory. I guess in the end it didn't really matter, but I kept hoping for a flashback to him in Chile to get some clue about who he was, how he got into the drug trade, and what his horrible secret Hector hinted at is.

I wonder what her ringtone was for him? 'Okie from Muskogee'?

Or just go back to the coffee shop, ditch her purse full of stevia and have ALL THE SUGAR IN THE WORLD!

@ArthurEdens:disqus Agreed. Over-explaining can be death to shows like this. We know that he left because his ego was damaged, and that he was too proud to stay. We don't really need to know the details.

The only thing that took me out of the episode was Uncle Jack wanting to prove he wasn't a liar to a man who was 2 minutes away from being shot in the back of the head.
