IRL Rothstein was on the scene until the late twenties. It wasn't until 1928 that he was murdered, I believe. I wonder how far the show will take the conflict between Nucky and Rothstein.

The relationship between Jimmy and his mother (Gillian) is definitely kind of creepy.

Van Alden did the right thing for the wrong reasons. Of course we don't really know which partner is infertile. It could just as easily be him.

I definitely think Gillian knows all about her daughter-in-law's "lifestyle".

You would think that shooting a cop would have caused a bit more stir.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”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.
