Another good episode tonight (even though there was no Van Alden).

The ep wasn't bad at all, but the ending kind of fell flat. I was expecting another scene or two to put a button on the storylines.

Jimmy's new "friend" was hot, too bad her face got cut up.

^ That was a great scene. I also liked Nucky's message to the Senator: "I do expect to have everything."

Yeah, this was a really good episode. I wasn't so enthusiastic about the show like most here, but every episode is making me like more this show.

That was awesome. Elgin, TX is about 20 minutes from me. Great sausage and BBQ.

Does Rothstein's guy think he's hanging out with Jimmy's wife or does he know that's his mom? Is he there to do something to her?
I'm a little unclear on that part.

I think Rothstein/Lucky just think she's Jimmy's girl (not his mom). Trying to keep tabs on Jimmy as a result of his involvement in the heist.

I'm having a hard time seeing Gretchen Mol as Jimmy's mother. She ridiculously hot but the mother of 20 year old man?

She is 37 in real life.

She was alright. She definitely isn't hotter than his fiance and definitely not his mom. Dudes mom is a freak.

Yeah, but how old is Jimmy in real life. I figure he's supposed to be 21 or so in the show, but he looks older to me.

Michael Pitt is 29 so yes he is older than his character. Has the age for Gretchen Mol's character been established? This was the first episode I saw -- I presumed that the two were a couple when the guy asked about Jimmy.

Yeah - that's the problem. If they truly were 16 years apart and looked that way, then that would be perfectly legitimate and believable. They both look their age though.

Enjoyed this episode. At first I was a bit weary of this show - seemed like too many mobster movie cliches, but it is getting better as I expected. I really like the scenes of Nucky's involvement in politics and the corruption. I hope, and think they will, focus on this more in the future rather than the more petty prohibition antics we've seen so far.

Great episode but that scene outside Gretchen's club with the dude stalking her was just horrible. He shows up and asks about Jimmy, she shuts the door in his face. Next scene out of nowhere she decides to make out with him? Weak writing.

I agree. Guess I am sorta wishing they'd move the rival cities thing along a bit more and spend a little less time on longing glances, etc.

I hope Al Capone settles things up next week.

Nucky and the woman with kids (can't remember her name) is the story I'm most interested in. Can't wait to see where that one is headed.

Definitely nice to see Omar [The Wire] back around. Excellent addition to the show~

I think she knows her son is in trouble and is going to use her best skills to get him out of it, by mesmerizing Lucky with her sexuality.
