He has Margaret's back...and her front....and her top...and her bottom...

It's ironic how they want to introduce every possible character, but I'm starting to like them more and more, even "Bugeyes". The character development is outstanding.

This serie is evolving from being just a mere cashcow into something special. These latest episodes were extremely good and I really like how the story is developing.

Nothing wrong with any part of Margaret .

Great quote!

'bugeyes'? did i miss a character or something?

Van Alden..

i don't see 'bugeyes' in van alden lol

I watched the episode again. I think you're right. But will he use the IRA to fight his battles for him?

that would be interesting, but i believe their will be no battle to fight. jimmy will get beat by the chaulky and the butcher from philadelphia.

I think one thng that's evident is that Jimmy doesn't do anything for anyone. He seems to simply be there as things happen, but he really doens't make things happen. Also, he's antagonizing people he doesn't have to antagonize. For one, the Jewish butcher.

Well that was a powerful episode. Jimmy is in SO far over his head I would almost feel sorry for him were he a more sympathetic character. But he isn't and I don't.

And Manny Horvitz is not the man to mess with.

I didn't recognize Forsythe.

I don't see how Jimmy survives this season. He has no power base or muscle other than Richard. And with what happened in yesterday's episode I can see him cracking up completely. To me he has no reason to make it until next season. His story arc seems near its end. If Nucky wins there is no place for Jimmy.

It's certainly looking like that now.

I'll be interested to see how the heroin angle plays out. I have a feeling that the "sample" that Luciano gave to Jimmy will figure in the plot.

Hadda laugh about the drawer full of Ty Cobb-signed balls.

some how i don't see jimmy getting killed off. he will give up his power to nucky, and the butcher will be dealt with.

also too since the commando is starting to say things, i wonder if jimmy's mother might be whacked off at the end of the season as well.

i still have no idea why the lawyer had signed balls from ty cobb...why not babe ruth?

Don't forget.... this was 1921. Ruth, although a star, was not the star he was by the end of the '20s. Ty Cobb was known as the game's greatest player in the early '20s.

Did you notice the name of last night's episode was "The Georgia Peaches"? (Geogia Peach was Ty Cobb's nickname).

thanks for explaining that. another reason i came up with ruth because he is playing for the yankees at the time and cobb was in detroit. and, yea i knew about his nickname.

Yeah, I don't see Jimmy going anywhere. Also, the Commodore still has his wits and he is still respected. But what's got me intrigued is what they'll do with the Sheriff and his deputy. Manny is a gonner.

i doubt witness protection was around this time, so i won't be surprised if the deputy is killed off. eli might be killed either by owen,jimmy,or himself. its going to suck when manny is gone though...old time badass right there.

Didn't Manny have some of his own people? Why did he try to murder Jimmy personally? And why was Doyle able to just walk up to his home?

they only showed one man that worked with manny, and he's sleeping with the fishes...or beef. i guess he takes getting shot really personal. were you expecting the corleone compound type security?

I don't know about a compound but I would have thought after getting shot he wouldn't let people just walk up to his house.

Before this episode I had the feeling Jimmy was going to get clipped by that Jew. But because of what happened I'm now certain it's going to be the other way around.

This is what I think is going to happen: Jimmy went way out of line, but he's now already punished for it. After what happened Jimmy will probably realise he's not up to it, as far as he wasn't already aware of that. Nucky will probably offer Jimmy help or Jimmy is going to ask help from Nucky. He will probably step aside so that Nucky could get back on top (which was Nucky's strategy after all based on Rothstein's advise).

When Nucky went to Jimmy and the Commodore to say he was going to step down, you saw that Jimmy and Nucky still liked each other no matter of the situation. So I think Nucky will forgive him and they will make peace. I think the Jew is going to be killed in the last episode.

I could be completely wrong and I won't be suprised to say the least, just a humble speculation. It could very well be Jimmy who is going to be killed in the last episode, but I think his character is too important to kill off, contrary to that guy who plays the Jewish butcher.

Well, he didn't Lilo. He was very cautious approaching his front door and he had his gun ready.

Besides that one guy, Manny doesn't appear to have any people.

I too am disappointed in Jimmy. As I posted earlier, he doesn't seem to make things happen. He doesn't have that strategic aptitude like Nucky. However, I think he was right on the ball when he suggested that they settle with the black workers. Now that is something I can see Nucky suggesting.

But, the murder of his wife is going to have consequences. I can see him changing and even realigning with Nucky.

i doubt nucky will let jimmy's son be an orphan or raised by jimmy's mother.

and, i do believe the butcher will be killed in the last episode...along with eli...maybe owen as well.

The writers may be looking to isolate Jimmy so that his only option is Nucky.

I'm proud to say that I agree with you.

Anyone watching tonight? I don't like where it's going with Jimmy. Not to give anything away, you'll know what I mean if you saw tonight's episode.
