Nobody wants to be in school forever.

Thrilling episode full of fantastic characters.

I enjoyed this episode since the first minutes, and the end got me screaming.

I really like the more participation of Chalky, Margaret and characters like Luciano and Lansky and the introduction off new interesting characters: Owen Sleater and Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel.

+ Prison scenes.

+ Margaret can play this game too.

+ Luciano vs. Jimmy.

+ Introduction of Benny Siegel and Owen Sleater.

+ Eli, the new boss?

  • Slow transition.


  • I got lost a bit on the Irish thing.

Wow! Holy crap balls! A little bit of spoilers

Hang on because this episode just flies at 150 mph from start to finish. Wow! This episode to me just made this show go from really good to as good as the Sopranos! I just loved every minute of it. Ely's Judas to Nucky is unreal. The jail scene with Chalky (brilliantly acted), the scene with Jimmy getting his bad-ass on, and the end- I don't know how Nucky didn't propose to Margaret right there! Who wouldn't want that woman on your side! The story lines this season rock! AMAZING show. Amazing. Thank you Marty and Mark from those of us still in mourning that the Sopranos are gone! I can't wait to see what happens next.

Underdogs

In three situations we see the underdog come out on top - Nucky, Chalky and Jimmy. It appears all hope is lost for Nucky, that is until the ever-surprising Margaret comes to the rescue! Damn I wish she was my woman. With regards to Chalky's prison scene, I was yelling at my screen! He didn't even lift a finger, Michael Kenneth Williams is immortalized, first as Omar Little now as Chalky White. Same deal with Jimmy, wow I really thought he'd kick Lucky's teeth in - we got a taste of that WWI combat when he took out those two guys at the end.

Not too sure what the introduction of the Irish characters will bring us this season, I suspect it will have to do with Margaret obviously. Really great episode!

Rhapsody of Stories ***

There is too much going on here as Mrs. Schroeder really proves herself as a loyal confidant, yet alone a true lover to Thompson.

Nukki searches for those in the inner circle who have betrayed him. The ward people are primarily on his suspicion list, as well as Jimmy and his own brother Eli.

Jimmy appears to get involved with a rival Arnold Rothstein mob, looking to penetrate Atlantic City with illegal booze.

Our black friend in jail shows that he is something else while Sinn Fein enters the scene asking Nukky to sell them guns to fight those terrible British.

Scorsese is just trying to show too much.
