Dude - there's been 2 or 3 - all equally disturbing.

Why on EARTH would you feel cheated not seeing that?
He gets boned and blown in previous episodes by his live in girlfriend.

Agreed on all accounts. Is it HBOs best as you've mentioned? No it's not...having said that it's still entertaining, though be it perhaps a bit slow for some people's taste. I would bet for those that do think it has started slow that things are gonna pick up here eventually. I'd be willing to bet the second half of the season packs a bigger punch than the first half. Hell the first half of a season for many tv shows are slow...there must be a storyline built and characters built up around the story line first though. That's what I believe Boardwalk Empire has done thus far. I expect it to keep getting better the rest of the way though.

This show is nothing more than a leftwing Hollywood smear campaign
before the mid-term elections -Republicans buying votes with ill gotten loot
Of course out of Hollywood the corpt boozing whorehounds are republicans

I loved the scenes with Capone and his taking over the other boss's terriotory. The violence was made to be real, they didn't sugar coat it but didn't go overboard into cartoonish ala Taratino.

Mr. Pink does a great job as Nooky. The self-flagellating Prohibition Officer is a strange duck. The portrayal of the time period is well done, I enjoy the little details very much. Well, at least most of them.

Finally got caught up on this last night. While it is a terrific show, I find that I don't get enough out of each episode to watch it every week. I prefer to wait 2 or 3 weeks and watch them back to back and get my fix on.

I thought last night's episode did a nice job of ratcheting things up a bit.

I gotta be honest, I didn't foresee the Prohibition Agent sending the $ to Jimmy's baby's momma.

yep, best episode yet. Well done TV.

SHOOTER McGAVIN!

Whoever expected the show to heat up in the 2nd half was right on the money. I didn't like this show early on, but I stayed with it to see if it would catch on for me, and it definitely has.

I am expecting these last 3 episodes to be fantastic.

Same here

I'm all for slow burns but I was growing weary a bit, if I'm honest. But there's always a well-placed spark. First, when they kill the four guys in Chicago. Second, the cabbie shooting the witness.

Who knew the short little german butler could handle a sidearm?

He really likes the ladies, the last few times Nucky has called on him to leave he was with a girl. I think it is setting something up.
