What is 1920 $425 in 2010 money? This dollar times calculator thing is telling me $4,856. You got to get that thing to the cleaners pronto.Ending scene where Margaret ends up with blood on her new dress was well done.

I'm surprised Nucky was able to pay off a Fed though. I thought they were pretty untouchable.My favorite episode so far. Nucky telling Jimmy that his path to freedom was not through the Justice System and we knew Nucky had connections and the witness would soon be dead.Ending scene where Margaret ends up with blood on her new dress was well done.Great episode last night. I doubt I'd be able to pull off hitting myself in the head with a rock like that. Also: MacDonald (and Mol) - I think Margaret has overtaken Jimmy as the most interesting character.I could probably do without the subplot with Jimmy's wife (unless it'll play into the larger story somehow).I definitely don't see Steve Buschemi supporting actor stereotype in his portrayal of Nucky - he's doing a fantastic, understated job.
I think Roth says something about the "Pennino Brothers"The only "wires" going on in the 1920s were tapping into phone or telegraph lines.Another great episode. A few things while they're fresh in my mind:- I remember hearing "the D'Allesio brothers" before and for awhile I couldn't recall where. Didn't Hyman Roth mention them in GF II during the outdoor scene with the cake in Cuba when he was discussing how his business interests would be divided upon his retirement/death?- When Jimmy wanted Nucky to state his intentions (to kill the guys who shot his brother), the Sopranos fan in me immediately wondered if Nucky thought Jimmy was wired. Did they even have that technology in 1920? If so, it would have been too bulky to hide under a suit, no?
This is gonna drive me crazy now. I'm 100% certain I've heard "the D'Allesio brothers" on another show or movie.Did Uncle Junior make reference to them during his story about "Lou DiMaggio" and the crazy Rhode Island boys?I think Roth says something about the "Pennino Brothers"Another great episode.

I wonder if Nucky will 'find' his lost dog for him.Are you sitting down? Spotted another Sopranos alum in this episode. I think that makes 47.
Character named Edward Bader, the guy Nucky wants to run for mayor.
He played coach Don Hauser, who had sex with Ally, Meadow's 16 year-old soccer teammate.
Margaret and Jimmy are neck and neck each week as the most interesting character for me for a few weeks now. I look forward to this show more than any other currently running at this point.Great episode last night. I doubt I'd be able to pull off hitting myself in the head with a rock like that.

Perhaps the Feds back then weren't paid too well? While he was driving the car he was talking to the snitch about how he eventually wants a house by the water or something of that nature. This episode was really good.I'm surprised Nucky was able to pay off a Fed though. I thought they were pretty untouchable.My favorite episode so far.

This is a very good point. Had his character just been another sociopath like Tony Soprano, this show would have been less interesting.I definitely don't see Steve Buschemi supporting actor stereotype in his portrayal of Nucky - he's doing a fantastic, understated job.
You may have heard a reference to the D'Alessio Brothers from the Gambino crime family in the 60s/70s.This is gonna drive me crazy now. I'm 100% certain I've heard "the D'Allesio brothers" on another show or movie.
As a young hood, the Bilotti brothers came up in the Staten Island-based crew of Gambino crime family capo Michael D'Alessio. Bilotti also spent time as Alexander DeBrizzi's chauffeur and bodyguard. He became a criminal associate of John "Johnny Dee" D'Alessio, brother of Michael, Matthew Cuomo, father of Ralph (Raffie) Cuomo and Joseph Armone. In 1970, D'Alessio recruited Tommy and his older brother Joseph to murder his daughter's boyfriend, Tommy Ernst, but the murder contract was botched and D'Alessio's own daughter who was armed, returned shots at the Bilotti brothers. However, a few months later, Ernst was murdered leaving D'Alessio's Staten Island home. Bilotti had a reputation for being "tough guy," feared by street level thugs on both sides of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. In one incident, Tommy Bilotti knocked out Colombo associate Robert Pate, whose brother was Colombo soldier (and future stoolpigeon) John Pate.
Without revealing what's written under the spoiler have to sayJust watched the last 5 episodes to be up to date and OMG is this show amazing.
Eps 1-4 were about a 6.5-7 in my ratings and every episode since then has been a solid 8.5-10 consistently
So many epic scenes and the actors are amazing, even Bugs Bunny as the Nucky is starting to grow on me.
Gotta say the lesbo wife of photographer is much hotter with no clothes on, with clothes she wouldnt crack the FFA 5 ratings
Glad Lucy is gone, she was really a talentless hack, really took away from the show with all the screentime she was getting previously.

Interesting. I'm not sure I would have used the word "talentless" to describe her, though. Rarely have I seen sleazy portrayed so convincingly.Glad Lucy is gone, she was really a talentless hack, really took away from the show with all the screentime she was getting previously.

I dunno. He seems like kind of a two-face.I'm glad Jimmy's new friend will be working for Nucky. I liked that guy.

I was under the impressin that Nucky was Jimmy's dad - and that Jimmy just didn't know it and was told it was someone else.Loved how Margeret was playing Nucky like a fiddle.Quick reference to Jimmy's dad...any ideas who that could be?
I think that Dabney Coleman is Jimmy's dad. I thought that was why Nucky went to see him right after Jimmy asked him if his dad could help.I was under the impressin that Nucky was Jimmy's dad - and that Jimmy just didn't know it and was told it was someone else.Loved how Margeret was playing Nucky like a fiddle.Quick reference to Jimmy's dad...any ideas who that could be?
ROTH Then there's the Sevilla Biltmore; the Havana Hilton, which is going to cost twenty-four million -- Cuban banks will put up half, the Teamsters will bankroll the rest. Generally, there will be friends for all our friends including the Lieutenant Governor of Nevada; Eddie Levine of Newport will bring in the Pennino Brothers, Dino and Eddie; they'll handle actual casino operations.This is gonna drive me crazy now.

I thought about that...but the surprised reaction by Nucky when Jimmy brought it up seemed to be saying it was a character not revealed yet to me?I think that Dabney Coleman is Jimmy's dad.

Based on their conversation they were working together and the Commodore was the head guy until some kind of legal trouble where he took the rap so that Nucky could remain behind and in power. Commodore did 5 years and Nucky kicks money up to him like a mob boss.As far as how realistic things are with actual characters such as Lucky and Rothstein, I think they will stay close to the truth and there won't be any big leaps from their realities. They changed Nucky Johnson to Nucky Thompson for the show so that they could take liberties with him, so I feel they will stay close to historically accurate with actual historical figures.I've assumed he's Nucky's mentor. He was a Nucky-type back in the day.
yep, thats why its mega hard to make a good series about actual people who are in constant violent squabbles yet you know the reality about their deaths and allBased on their conversation they were working together and the Commodore was the head guy until some kind of legal trouble where he took the rap so that Nucky could remain behind and in power.

The thought of seeing him take out one of the brothers makes me giddy. I dig quiet minor characters who professionally kill d-bags without hesitation or emotion. I'm shocked at how great of a character Jimmy has become. I've seen Michael Pitt in stuff before but had no idea he could give the kind of performance he's giving every week. He's fits the Omar mold...the "good" crook. Intelligent, ruthless but not evil, interesting, easy to root for. Kind of describes Tony Soprano too, but I never really thought to compare Tony to Omar.Anyway, great show.I'm glad Jimmy's new friend will be working for Nucky. I liked that guy.
I read that as meaning that if Paris Hilton the "actress" were given that part she would be doing the same level of acting.Yeah, I think that's exactly what jdoggydogg was saying.IMO Paris Hilton would be acting the exact same way as LucyInteresting.

I'm waiting for James Gandolfini soon.......and on a side note, Adam Sandler as well, j/kAre you sitting down? Spotted another Sopranos alum in this episode. I think that makes 47.

He is just going deep undercover.I guess agent VanAlden figured if you're going to fall off the wagon, fall all the way off, and land on a porn star.
