menawati
11.26.12 | vacating thread, we are a week behind you guys dont want any spoilers |
BassDemon333
11.26.12 | Season has seriously been lacking some Jimmy Darmondy but the past few episodes have ruled. I'm gonna watch the new one soon I was at work so it recorded. |
SgtPepper
11.26.12 | YES! YES! YES!
That ending was so sweet.
"I need a bath. Some chow. Then you and I sit down and talk about who dies." |
SgtPepper
11.26.12 | It's been a good season. A little slow at first, but damn did the momentum kick in. |
conesmoke
11.26.12 | weird show. when the cop rooted the obsessive hooker chick... i'm out. |
Deviant.
11.26.12 | Good episode, but by no means great. Perfect scene setter, a prelude to the war. Capone's entrance was great, but I'm more interested in watching Richard going all Rambo. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up as Nucky's next right hand, especially after that scene earlier on when he confessed to killing Manny |
demigod!
11.26.12 | i really oughta check this show out. Love me some Steve Buscemi. |
Thane
11.26.12 | gonna watch it now. this season hasn't been as good as 1 and 2, but on the other hand it has had some of the best scenes of the series. |
SgtPepper
11.26.12 | "why would richard side with nucky when he pulled the trigger on jimmy?"
**SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN EPISODE 3 OF SEASON 3**
Richard Harrow tells Nucky that "Jimmy was soldier fighting a war, and he lost." Meaning that even though his best friend was murdered, that's the nature of war. So he's relatively okay with Nucky. Also, they both hate Gillian, so it could fall under the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" kind of thing. |
ViralOblivion
11.26.12 | Is this show better now? Show has never really seemed to reach its full potential it's not as good as early years of sopranos either |
SgtPepper
11.26.12 | Yeah, I was hoping to see Richard plan out some kind of revenge plot, but honestly, it would be just as satisfying to see him take over Owen's place. |
ViralOblivion
11.26.12 | Andcas I thought you were sick of this show? |
conesmoke
11.27.12 | because stone cold said so |
JackSparrow
11.27.12 | Best episode they've ever done. I've never been so gripped. I coulda sworn Nucky was done when Gyp was at the beach |
SgtPepper
11.27.12 | "I really hope jimmy's mother gets what's coming to her from someone."
- Yeah, she's become such a bitch now. I despise her character. |
klap
11.27.12 | i think she's one of the more interesting characters despite how repulsive she is |
SgtPepper
11.27.12 | "what do you mean now? she fucked her own son for years."
- She was okay season 1, even though she was a little stuck-up. In season 2 they made her look like a demented person, and in this season she's a complete bitch. I really don't find her that interesting. I understand that she's been warped by her early life as a prostitute, and combined with her "need" for protection, led her to have sex with Jimmy, but I just dont like her attitude. She's very pretentious. |
menawati
11.27.12 | former agent van aldan is the best character |
klap
11.27.12 | van alden has been hilarious this season |
SgtPepper
11.27.12 | We haven't been seeing much of him lately, I'm curious to see where his new life of crime will lead him. I have to say that Arnold
Rothstein has always been my favourite character. I find him very fascinating as a character. Very wise and calm, but viciously
ruthless. |
menawati
11.27.12 | no, it was very funny, not quite as funny as when he was fucking Nucky's ex though |
SgtPepper
11.27.12 | andcas, I did too. I knew that he was going to snap on them sooner or later. |
klap
11.27.12 | rothstein is amazing but i have to say gaston means has been my favorite character this particular season. the scene where jess smith killed himself and means was trying to explain his way out of it was gold |
Atari
11.27.12 | so how good is this show on a scale from 1 to 10? I'm thinking of buying it and I like steve buscemi but it's kind of pricy. |
SgtPepper
11.27.12 | That's Charles "Lucky" Luciano. |
SgtPepper
11.27.12 | My ratings
Season 1: 8.5/10
Season 2: 9/10
Season 3: 8.5-9/10 (so far, we still have the finale to go)
It's worth it Atari. Some episodes require patience, but it's worth it if you really get into the show. |
JackSparrow
11.28.12 | Season 1 was the best. Season 2 was very good but I don't like how little Nucky fought back. Same with this season, it's been very slow and full of him losing. I want Gyp dead goddamnit |
klap
11.28.12 | seasons have gotten progressively better imo |
menawati
11.28.12 | get it atari its brilliant once you get into it |
SgtPepper
12.03.12 | "holy fuck that was one hell of a season finale. damn."
- It was pretty good, but what happened to Gyp... should have been done by you know WHO. I was really looking forward to that. |
SgtPepper
12.03.12 | *SPOILER*
I just felt like that was the main build up of the season, to see Nucky kill Gyp. I was disappointed that it didnt turn out that way, but hey, that's just my opinion.
Anyway yeah, goddamn Richard fucking massacred everything in sight. Definitely a highlight of the series. I also hope that girl stays with him, he deserves that more than anyone. |
SgtPepper
12.03.12 | @andcas
Yeah, I thought so. I was actually thrilled when Gyp injected her with the heroin, I was hoping that was the last time we ever saw her. Then later on she's still alive... ugh. |
SgtPepper
12.03.12 | Oh it was brilliant. I love how Capone is all nonchalant about it with that cigar in his mouth. Overall, it was a great closer to a great season. |
BassDemon333
12.03.12 | Yeah, I was satisfied with that season finale, it was pretty epic. It ended perfectly too. I agree with you though andcas, they should bring back jimmy for some flashbacks or something, who knows if that will ever happen though. Richard's killing spree was ridiculous though, Jimmy would have been proud. |
SgtPepper
12.03.12 | "I still wish their was a way they could bring back jimmy for more scenes like in flashbacks or something."
It's funny that you mention that because that's what I thought was going to happen on this season. I was sure Nucky was going to be haunted with guilt by having dreams about Jimmy. |
SgtPepper
12.03.12 | "Richard's killing spree was ridiculous though, Jimmy would have been proud."
I hope that Nucky recruits him as Owen's successor. Honestly, who needs an army of gangsters when you have Richard Harrow? |
Deviant.
12.03.12 | Oh shit, gotta dl the last episode |
SgtPepper
12.03.12 | I still found myself rooting for Nucky throughout the season and especially in last week's episode where he was on the run. I
agree that he's become less sympathetic, but I suppose that's done on purpose since he technically is the "villain". But
personally, I prefer shows/movies that center around antiheroes like Breaking Bad and The Sopranos. |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.03.12 | Harrow.
That is all. |
BassDemon333
12.03.12 | Nucky was having haunting visions/memories of Jimmy for like one episode this season but thats about it, I thought they were going to elaborate on that more but oh well. Nucky really should have dispatched Gyp though, it would have made the finale all the more epic. |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.03.12 | I was alright with Gyps man taking him out, especially after what he did to his cousin and also because Nucky was behind Gyps death anyway...but I just wish it was more violent. |
SgtPepper
12.03.12 | *SPOILER*
I honestly thought that during the scene where Gyp's taking a piss in front of the beach after making fun of Nucky, the shot was going to show Nucky standing right behind him with a whole group of henchmen and then he was going to get a satisfying the revenge. But I think the reason Nucky had someone else do it also ties with his new philosophy of being a "behind-the-scenes" leader. Sense right afterwards he talks about being more "anonymous". |
SgtPepper
12.03.12 | "he's not what I would call a warrior like jimmy."
- That's why I was hoping he would take down Gyp himself, to show that he's now a real gangster capable of doing his own dirty work. But it seems, judging from the whole "anonymous" concept, he's going to go back to relying on henchmen. Or really, who knows. |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.03.12 | It's unfair to compare anyone to Richard, he's clearly the best in the show. Tonight solidified that for me. |
SgtPepper
12.03.12 | Well, Gyp is indeed a nobody but he had Masseria backing him, whom they said repeatedly that he has an army. But yeah, Nucky
is nothing without his connections, but that's always been a theme within the show. There was a quote earlier in the season
about how no one ever takes power, someone has to give it to them. Nucky has no "real" power, he's just a guy with a long list
of names and uses his cunning to get him out of shit. I kind of like that about him because he's often shown to be this all-
mighty figure in the show, but in the end all he really has is his wits to defend him. |
klap
12.03.12 | just watched the episode on the west coast. holy harrow |
klap
12.03.12 | don't have any problem with gyp's man killing him. poetic justice, and a nice image of just how gyp had nobody left, not even his righthand man |
DarkSideOfLucca
12.03.12 | I agree, klap. But like I said before, not violent enough death for him imo. |
Deviant.
12.03.12 | "but I'm more interested in watching Richard going all Rambo. "
BOOM |
Propose
01.28.13 | considering watching this show |
