Van Alden's probably the best but I'll admit to being extremely partial to Meyer Lansky. He seems to be the most interesting of the historical characters on the show.

A- episode, B- for the season.

Yeah, this was wrenching. Honestly though, I was always afraid that Harrow would get blinded or die in the electric chair. It's a sad death, as sad as any fictional death for an admitted mass murderer can be. Man, what is it with this show killing off popular characters?

Well, here's my guess for tonight's episode: Harrow dies, Will kills Knox, Narcisse and Chalky survive and Eli is booted out of the business.

I wonder if there's beer on the sun?

It was a well done moment but how many rounds were these machine guns holding? You can empty a thirty round magazine in a few seconds on full auto. It just seemed fairly unrealistic on a show that is usually pretty good about things like that.

and my axe!

Let us hope that Frakes emerges from his latest orgy to enlighten us as to his opinion on this matter

Rothstein owned a life insurance policy on Mickey and the D'Alessio brothers from when they were attempting to curry his favor and work with him. Mickey hasn't always been with Nucky.

The more I think about it, it's quite possible that Mickey bites it this year. After all, wasn't he the one who wound up providing Eli's son and the other kid with the liquor? Kill Mickey and it's just one kid's word against another's.

That's not an unreasonable opinion, but I'm wondering whether the two of them, I'm excluding Richard for the moment since that seems not to gel with his disappearance, would have the funds for a PI who seems to be projecting the image of a fairly well to do man. Intriguing idea though.

I'm okay with the show bending history. As far as we know the real Enoch Johnson never murdered his young associate, or any of the other interpolations which have already happened. Of course, I'd be a bit more wary if they went all Inglourious Basterds and killed Capone.

I'm of the same opinion. I'd actually be interested if there are any other reasonable theories out there.

"So, what happened between you and this Renwick customer?" Cocks eyebrow.

Something that I've enjoyed this season is the growing menace that Mickey Doyle can portray. Granted, he's intimidated two college kids and a federal agent worried that his cover was getting blown, but I'm happy that the show is giving him more dimension than the old butt monkey who got thrown off of a balcony by…

I like what they've done with his character. They've turned him from something of a one note drunk into a damaged, if still unlikable man with real pathos which shows what the writers can do with a fairly minor player. Cirrhosis is a really shitty way to go out, so I'll be interested to see how they treat his eventual…

Oddly enough, and in all seriousness, Troilus and Cressida. That's an unhappy love story that hasn't been done to death.

Sadly Eddie couldn't reply that it was for protection from "Ze Germans". http://www.youtube.com/watc…

John Tyler, 10th President of the United States, has two living grandsons. He died in 1862.

Came here to find out the same thing. Dick move by Ellis, but that's pretty much par for the course for him anymore.
