Well, Jimmy, I guessed that when you tore up that will you were just about done, and I was right. Goddamn.

(genuinely) Good for you.

Gillian must drown herself, somehow, or all this waiting will have been for naught, Besides that I see Jimmy returning to an area of strength and committing many murders, probably on Nucky's behalf. Plus, Harrow hasn't diced anybody up for two or three weeks, so he needs some work.

"Don't…gmhlh…rust the tin."

Sooooo awkward.

Were those paragraphs worth the student loans?

Heroin bender

I was SO sure Van Alden was going inside the Noridc Nanny, but then he went and made that brutal and awkward escape from justice.

Some very nice music this week, including Chopin Nocturne no. 10…..

These are fictional (mostly) characters, not analysands.
Television is a morally relative universe, and so last week when I said I was
pleased with the “tough Jews” on this program was mostly just happy for
something other than Mort Goldman.

Diagnosis the child having polio then

…boy sarcasm does not travel well on this thing…

I will miss Angela. Manny is a true cold motherfucker now, though. Marlo-esque maybe.

Also, Chalky referring to Jimmy as "Young James" then refusing his ultimate request? Brilliant. Chalky is the man.

No, it didn't trump it… Doyle making Jimmy look like an amateur was a highlight of the episode.

There can never be another Doc Holiday after Tombstone. It is done. He's our huckleberry… though I've come to terms with the fact that we can never watch Al kill and swear and drink again.

I fully expect Gillian to break like Ophelia over the next three episodes, culminating in her death at the hands of the creepy old dudes, Lucky or her son.

"…I'll need a straw"

Is it just me, or is the "To the lost" toast really forced and… strange? Creepy? I just don't like it…

I'll also add that killing an assassin with a meat cleaver - after first being shot in the shoulder by a damn shotgun, then grappling through the door with the assailant, breaking the door’s window with your bare fist and grappling some more – qualifies Manny for Bad Mother Fucker of the Century.
