I went to Miami in 2006 on Spring Break.  It was my friend's idea for a reason I have forgotten.  We were four pasty and average (at best) white guys from southern Indiana.  We stayed on Miami Beach and goddamn, those beach scenes tonight were accurate.  Douchebags and surgically enhanced women as far as the eye can…

Pretty much every working director signed that petition.  If that's your argument, be fair and stop watching all movies.

Apparently, season 3 is going to take place in 1923, so I think enough time will have passed that the issue with the church's highway will be reduced to a smoldering wound between Margaret and Nucky.  At least that's what I'm hoping…

Second thought:  The idea of Phillip Baker Hall's character having blowback from a bipartisan bill to fund treatment/placement for homeless vets is the strawiest straw man the show has constructed so far.  I haven't looked into a real world comparison, but it's too outlandish to believe.  Not to mention the…

Just started this episode.  First thought:  I hate the title sequence so, so much.

Looking forward to a super-bleak week as I have the last few episodes of season 3 and then all of season 4 to rewatch.  No more half measures, StopHodoring.  Gotta power through.
