I felt bad for that little guy. I'm glad Capone softened and hugged the kid. He has a hard time dealing with his boy and any possibility he may be a wimp (for lack of a better word.)

TIS

There was an earlier scene when Capone said to his wife (about the son) that they had to toughen him up. Reminded me a LOT of Tony Soprano talking about AJ.

I also liked the ending with Capone singing to his son.

Yes, it was a nice scene. I didn't think, at least at first, that Capone would have a soft side. Btw, I wasn't sure, at first, that I liked the actor playing Capone but must admit, the more I see this guy the more I think he is good in the part.

How did Agent Van Holden get to Chicago? The former Agent I remember last season he was indicted for murder then did some wild shit,,did he just flee I can't remember?

That fat guy was Jake Guzik?

Yep.

Yeah.... Van Alden fled AC with his baby and her nurse. They moved to Cicero, IL and assumed new identities.

season 3 has been good so far. way better than season which sucked. rosetti is annoying

Yep. Reminds me of Don Cardi.

Anyone watching tonight? Right at beginning now. Gyp Rosetti sure has some dangerous sexual pleasures no?



TIS

I think he's pretty much demonstrated that he's pazzo.

So, who ordered the hit?

Nucky?


TIS

But when Nucky was told about the hit, didn't the guy say the news came from Rothstein?

Good episode.

On the real: That was a poorly-planned hit -- one guy against four, entering a locked room where the target is probably armed. They should have had at least three guys. Not Smart Arnold but lucky especially Bugsy but we all know that he's crazy.

Van Alden got down ass chick. I have a feelings that Van is hooking up with Dean O'Banion, was a real life Irish gangster who was a rival of Al Capone and Torrio.

I've ALWAYS thought that!

The hit was ordered by Rothstein after Nucky presented his argument that Gyp was dangerous for everyone. One small giveaway to that was when Rothstein and Gyp were in the diner and Gyp mentioned his hotel room to the paper boy you could see the interest in Rothstein's eyes as he got the information on where Gyp could be found.

A random thought.... I LMAO when Van Alden's "wife" creamed the Prohibition agent (thinking that the agent was gonna arrest her "husband").

Could someone explain to me what that Senate hearing was about?

Also, am I the only one who thinks that the guy who portrays Lucky Luciano tries to hard at being a "tough guy" with his heavy Brookyln accent.

And Van Alden's wife is Dutch is she not? If so then her accent is way off and is actually Scandinavian rather than Dutch.

LOL yea, Van Alden's wife sure went off the wall didn't she?

I felt sorry for the paperboy. Didn't expect that.


TIS

Yep. That was definitely an "Oooops" moment.

Van Alden will definitely now be in Dion O'Bannion's debt (for helping to get rid of the Prohibition agent's body) and that isn't gonna fare well for Van Alden.

Another random thought: there were two incidents in last night's episode that kind of lightened up some characters:

1. When Gyp Rosetti was "yelling" at the newspaper boy about the news being yesterday's and then Gyp started laughing, letting everyone know it was a joke. That wouldn't have happened a few episodes back.

2. When Van Alden's boss asked him if he was planning on turning in the iron company to the feds (jokingly) and Nelson laughed. A few episodes back he (Van Alden) would have taken the question very seriously.

Another random thought: Margaret (Nucky's wife) got knocked down a peg (finally) when Nucky reminded her that he pays for her childrens' upbringing (after Margaret said she didn't want Nucky seeing her kids even if he was their stepfather.

Also, loved the scene in which Chalky and Dunn "leaned on" Eddie Cantor in the hotel room. Seeing Chalky sitting there with that serious face was hilarious. Gotta like him!!

Eddie Cantor?? OMG, Of course. I didn't realize that who it was suppose to me. I knew he was "Eddie" but it simply didn't click and I missed it, if they said a last name.

I like that they insert "real" people from time to time. Didn't they have Sophie Tucker in a short scene as well? Or somebody from that era.


TIS

Yeah, she had a small part in one episode.

Me too. But I am absolutely amazed that those robots they use for all the other characters look so lifelike, especially Nucky.

Ha ha ha!! You get my drift.


TIS

Andrew Mellon was Secretary of Treasury and one of the richest men in the US during the 20s. He would later oversee the team that got Capone. The hearing was about corruption in the Treasury Department and the Justice Department as well as lack of resources given for enforcement and prosecution of Prohibition violators. It was good to see James Cromwell in that part.

Van Alden's wife is Norwegian. The actress playing her, Christiane Seidel, was born in either Germany or Denmark I believe.

I honestly did not notice Luciano's accent as much as Lanksy's but then again I am no expert at the different types of NY accents...

can anybody help me out on who the shooter was tried to kill roselli? was it bugsy seagle?

It was bad form for Nucky to **** where he eats in terms of his relationship with Billie but I just don't see how Margaret can even pretend some sort of holier than thou outrage.

She stole from her husband because SHE had a guilty conscience and gave the proceeds to the church. She's cheated on him with his top bodyguard. Most of what she gives him is bad attitude and snide comments. Everything she had comes from Nucky. Without him she would have been pumping out child after child and getting regularly beaten by a drunk, that is if she hadn't died in childbirth.

Nucky did some of that for his own selfish reasons of course but then again Margaret is under no illusions. I'm not saying that she should necessarily be GRATEFUL all the time but if I were Nucky I would have told her a long time ago "Look, sorry but this really isn't working out. I thought I could make you happy but instead you're depressing me. Take what you like but go!"

Yes it was Bugsy.

bad dude that bugsy

Are you saying that because Irishmen are stereotyped as heavy drinkers that her "potential love children" would witnessed her being beaten by their alcoholic father who raged out ?????

Rosseti came from sicily and grew up in a cave its in his character bio on their site
