I do like this show, but still, for me anyway, so far, it no way compares to The Sopranos. With the Sopranos there was a Sunday night excitement (so to speak), with most of the time myself AND fans here on the BB anticipating the next show. I use to love how jam packed the comments thread was during that hour. We'd be posting as the show was running sometimes. That's entertainment!  Nothing against this show, I DO like it so far, but I don't feel that same enthusiasm. That's just me though.  TIS I gotta disagree with you there. I never watch TV regularly and the only thing I look forward to on Monday nights ain't football, it's boardwalk empire. I'm already on the level where I wanna anticipate the next episode and see whats going on. Not saying the Sopranos was a bad show or that what you were saying isn't true but, you know. Give it some more time, I'm confident a decent fanbase on these boards will develop. If not these boards then definitely amongst friends.
I will be asking the questions! Because I don't know them!

Nice misdirection as to what was really going on with Jimmy's "wife", But didn't his mother say something about her "bohemian" lifestyle? Maybe she picked up on it. It's always good to have a sharpshooter watching your back. Jimmy will be able to use Richard in the future. It reminds me a little of the Don and Luca. Jimmy was the only person to understand Richard and show him a little kindness and in return he gets a devoted killer. The storyline between Margaret and Nucky was a little boring this week. So Nucky had a rough childhood. Who didn't in those days? I like the introduction of Lanksy. It's exactly how I would have imagined him-short, logical, good with numbers and extremely sure of himself. If Luciano and the brothers from Philly (d'Allesio???) go into business together why does anyone still need that Doyle guy around? If I were him I think I'd have been gone. I wonder where the producers found so many actresses still with their natural attributes. That must have been a fun job casting for those scenes..

Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Man, I'm really finding it hard to follow these guys. I thought that guy was a lot younger. I'm still confused who's in Chicago and who's in New York and A/C. Now add Meyer Lansky to the mix.
Well it's good for Jimmy to kill that creep. Jimmy is by far my favorite character. The gangster with a heart. haha.

And exactly what is Doyle's role in all of this?
I'm also curious as to why Nucky would give Jimmy's girl money for Tommy. Is it because he feels guilty about him being the reason Jimmy's gone. I think Nucky "knows" he's Jimmy's father, therefore, would want to provide for his grandson. But Jimmy's wife wouldn't know about that relationship, so why accept the money?

I wonder where the producers found so many actresses still with their natural attributes. That must have been a fun job casting for those scenes.. I agree. Although I will say that if I wasn't pretty sure that the series wasn't based on fact upon seeing last monday's episode, I'm damn sure now. Doesn't matter though, the guy in the mask is gonna be a badass character, next halloween costume anyone? I'm pretty sure they said they're keeping Doyle around because he owes them money "He owes us money otherwise I'd slit his throat and then what would I do?" "What'd he say?" "He said you're a good guy". I think I'm taking a bigger liking to Capone right now. I like Jimmy alot more than in the first episodes (I didn't really believe the actor's deliverance on his character during the first two) but I'm liking where Capone's character is going. Also, did anyone question why oh why Nucky's dad was living in such squalor? I get that he hates his dad and all but you'd think at least brother would give him money.
I will be asking the questions! Because I don't know them!
