Would think legendary gamblers lose big all the time. They just win big more often.
Not necessarily. Do you remember how they met? Chalky basically had 3 guys kick the #### out of him. I don't think its that huge of a stretch that he'd flip. I think Purnsley is one of the most pragmatic characters on the show. He's stuck with Chalky because if you're a black guy in Atlantic City, Chalky is the guy you want to stick with. Now he's sees a better opportunity, so he's jumping ship. Makes total sense to me, especially with how Chalky treats him.
And the statement he made didn't add up either. "I figured you for a straight".... he trying to rep a smaller flush there?
He was more of a "winner" than a "gambler". He was known to only bet when he had a huge edge, or when he fixed outcomes. Maybe poker was a different story though.
Yes. That's how little I was paying attention to that story.
No idea but J. Edgar is Don Draper's ex brother-in-law and the real killer from "The Killing".
thats who i meant different guy at
1. I'm intrigued by it so far. Didn't at first, but he's grown on me.
''Everything that crawls is gonna pay for this''Whoa... Frank got Sonny Corleone'd.
If you are expecting some cartoon character whop to show up and throw a lasagna at nucky in order to kick off a quickly undeveloped war/conflict plot-line you are in for a disappointment.
I loved the episode. We are starting to see more of Nucky's new protege, Willie. I agree, the character went all in when he let his nerdy roommate take the fall. Nucky appears to want a new, improved Jimmy.
The whole thing is just awkward with Van Alden. It's like they knew they from a history perspective that Chicago was more interesting then AC in the years to come so they started to ship out VA and Harrow to the west to get some good actors involved. Forest Gump-like..... good analogy.
I guess they started that with her new heroin hookup, but that just disappoints me more since that means we won't see a quick conclusion to her storyline in all likelihood.
Of all the running plots this is the one I hope they close the loop on the most. I don't care about her or her new friend from Office Space. How in the world is she going to tie back into Nucky or anything else that going on?
I have a feeling he's going to lose it at some point and do something badass (like the iron beat down last season)
Whoa, SOA gets support. Thought I was the only one that liked it. And yes, I do like this show. I need about a half dozen shows to fill my week so this is naturally in there as there aren't another 6 that come close.
I did too. Was hoping he would be around this whole season.
Was interested to read that in actuality Frank was the instigator and Al was the one that wanted to "negotiate" peacefully with the voters. But a coked up crazy Al is certainly better for TV. And Stephen Graham is hitting it out of the park with this performance.
I completely agree. I did not like last season at all. This season is fantastic. I can't think of a storyline I do not like, right now.
Which storylines make it the best season yet? I wasn't a fan of last year or Gyp Rosetti at all, but this season is worse so far. I was all for them having the balls to kill off Jimmy in season 2, but this show died with him and the commodore it appears at this point. The politics of the era are much more interesting than anything having to do with the Onyx Club or Dr. whatever.I completely agree. I did not like last season at all. This season is fantastic. I can't think of a storyline I do not like, right now.
When Nucky said something to Margaret along the lines of "I would never put something alive in a box", the look on both their faces was awesome.
I also love Eli's scene with the FBI agent. I wonder if he knows that the agents translation of Eddie's letter is completely BS. And the way he looked at that monogrammed handkerchief makes me have hope he knows the agent isn't who he purports to be. But Eli has been pretty stupid in this series. Maybe his prison term educated him?
I think the critics are upset because there hasn't been massive killings yet. I think the story lines have made this the best season yet.
