This season also still lacks direction.
Where are we headed?
Most especially, where is Nucky headed?
And shouldn’t him getting his lights punched out happen every episode?
Hit the jump for why “I just hate a goddamn whiner.”
The two break up, but, probably not for long.
Probably longer than Nucky’s land deal will last, though.
But isn’t she just baiting him for Narcisse?
We knew that something was going to happen, and that wasn’t at all interesting.
But if it turns out that she is working him, that will elevate it.
Meanwhile though, the show should focus more on her solos.
The meeting with Margaret, after all of this time, was wholly unsatisfying.
That trick was something he learned from Eddie – promote and give more important responsibilities to those you trust.
That didn’t work out particularly well for Eddie, but the principle is there.
He astutely found the safety deposit key, and used Knox to finally get the money for him.
So far, Knox has not been an adversary worthy of even being swatted by the Thompson organization.
– Mickey: “Death in the family.”
Knox: “Was it sudden?”
Mickey: “Just the last few feet.”
– Tommy Darmody = the cutest.
Also better at astronomy than I am.
– So did Knox translate Eddie’s suicide note at all, or even in part?
Or did it implicate him so he lied?
Or is that really what Eddie wrote?
In many ways, it would make sense.
“My dearest son, this afternoon I got the happy word that I will be a grandfather.
I cannot express the joy.”
– Paul Sagorsky: “I’m dying.”
Richard: “Right now?”
– Early Tampa was apparently very similar to the Wild West.
Also, alligator fighting = the cock fighting of middle Florida?
– Nucky: “Did you squeeze this out of the alligator?”
Sally: “I won’t say no.”
– “I am who I am.
Who else could I be?”
