WOW...Jimmy's flashback to cracking his mother was not at all what some of us were expecting, i.e. like it was GONNA happen. The revenue agent is outed and now on the lam...Margaret stopped just short of fessing up her fornication...Nucky may be about to get out of the whole thing...The Commodore gets the old knuckle blade torpedo from Jimmy...AND Jimmy looks to be headed back to hook up with Nucky again...damn...

This thing has taken more turns than a hooker's doorknob at the Stonewall Jackson Motel....

With Angela out of the picture the relationship with Jimmy and his mother becomesincreasinglyweird. I am interested to see what direction Jimmy is going to take regarding the liquor business. I am with you. I think he and Nucky join sides once again, and the tension begins to arise between Atlantic City and Jimmy's old gang (Capone, Lucky, Lansky).Margaretis interesting and I really have no idea where I think the story line is going with her.<div>
</div><div>Prediction: With Van Alden being on the run, I think Eli dies next week and thus ending the season.This will allow Nucky to skate on his charges. With Eli and The Commodore dead Jimmy will begin to feel all alone. This will allow the story to continue with Nucky and will open the door for a ton of complicated emotions that will lead into next season. Just my opinion.</div><div>

..they avoided the low hanging fruit of showing you someone finding the bodies and Jimmy being told, etc.. Through the flashbacks they told us so much of why things are the way they are. It was really incredible storytelling. It reminded me of of the Band of Brothers episode "Crossroads", directed by Tom Hanks. And just like Crossroads was the best episode of BoB, tonight's was the best of BE.

I don't see how Jimmy and Nucky reconcile, but if they could do it convincingly the stage is set for war with New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. Regardless, I bet heroine becomes a major theme soon.

I love this show! I should have been aware of the spoiler alert for me though!

On HBO Latin America the episodes are about 4 weeks behind.

I watched the first few episodes of the Season 1 when they premiered here but got busy or just plain forgot about it at some point during season 1 and never got caught up. I downloaded a season 1 torrent and watched all episodes back to back over the course of about a week, and leading up until the premier of Season 2 here.

Complex series with many moving parts, plot lines, and characters that are pretty deep and needed to be explained before they fully evolve. I am glad I watched season 1 in it's entirity and also glad I gave it a chance because after about episode 5 or so I was ready to give up as it was a little slow.... now that the plot lines and characters are defined the show in and of it's self is AWESOME!!!!!
