It's not obvious, and don't call me Beverly

"You, Noah, are a gaping asshole."

I'm so sad you're leaving! I hope the next set of commenters you have to deal with are better.

And if she's anything like her great-grandfather, I'm sure she'll be writing a lot of depressing plays about alcoholics

True, I guess I mean I worry about how heavily they'll imply or make clear what's going on even if they don't straight-up show it; it's horrible enough to have heard that's what happened but seeing an actual child actress playing the lead-up and aftermath isn't something I'm looking forward to. Although I do think…

I'm sorry about that, I did try to give some warning and it was from a set of cast photos that if I remember right ran in the Daily News or at least on their website (may have been a different paper but same deal).

As someone else said, I meant younger than in the present time of the show. I forget if we've been given exact years for Gillian or Jimmy's births, but if Jimmy was about 20 when we first met him then he was born around 1900, and given how young Gillian was, she was probably born a few years after the Nucky flashbacks…

Yup, that is what I meant.

This is kiiiiiind of a spoiler, but, there were set photos going around that seemed to show a young flashback Nucky with a young blonde girl who is presumably young Gillian being brought to the Commodore… not really looking forward to seeing that play out, I REALLY hope they go "okay we know what happened here, no…

So on a show with (at least, I might have forgotten some) three cast members from The Wire, there's no way "Where the fuck is D'Angelo?" wasn't deliberate, right?

This is funny because the first time we saw present day Nucky, standing on the balcony in Havana, I was struck by how much his expression and pose reminded me of that final scene of Gus

Johnny Rotten and LBJ are two different people

Can you settle a sure bet?

I'm surprised at the criticism of Jamey Sheridan's performance, I just re watched this over the past few days (completely unaware of this article) for the first time in years and he was by far the strongest part of it for me.

I'm replying months later because I just started watching this tonight and at first I went, "Hm, is that Sam Rockwell?" til I checked Wikipedia and went "HOLY SHIT IT'S ENDLESS MIKE HELLSTROM FROM PETE & PETE!" so I'm glad to read someone else has had that same experience

I've made this comparison before, but Lorne REALLY reminded me of Lou Ford, the narrator of Jim Tnompson's The Killer Inside Me tonight. Ford is a vicious, violent psychopath who covers his inner evil with a dimwitted folksy cover (in his case, police office in a small Texas town) and gets his kicks by making his…

I'm not sure what's redemptive about berating and spewing misogyny at his therapist then turning around and parroting her techniques (which he's not really trained to employ) at inmates so that he canretend he's a good guy. And he's still pushing his deranged lesbian conspiracy theories!

Yeah, Fig is terrible, but still felt a little bad that the whole reason she was embezzling the money was for her husband who's just using her. And ugh, Caputo. Is it too much to ask for a massive explosion or something that takes out him, Healy, Bennett, and Mendez?

They really had me going with Caputo's seeming redemption story, then he had that last scene with Fig and, whoops, nope, he's human garbage

That's because that was Janae's storyline, not Poussey's
