The Paddock

Yes, she is smoking! Can't blame him with that annoying wife of his. She drives me nuts. I couldn't imagine being married to her. IIRC, the Capone beating actually happened and if is the case Torreo is finished. As for Rothstein, I was actually surprised last season when Luciano and Lansky didn't off him. I expect that to happen in the next 3-4 episodes.

Richard is the man! Would love to see Nucky send him to war against Rosetti. I'm interested in seeing how his little bro comes back into the fold. He's damn lucky to be alive. IMO, Nucky's warehouse manager (forget his name) is dead for the current screw up. Can't wait for Sunday.

Ah, didn't know that about Rothstein.

That's pretty awesome.

I thought it was a great episode. Kinda sad Rosetti didn't get it. It's just a matter of time before that ho Margaret bangs another guy. I hope Jimmy's mom dies. She's hot and all but super annoying. I hope Richard shoots his face off. I wonder what was said between nucky and rothstein to change his mind about killing rosetti.

I can't stand Margaret. Trying to act all mad when she caught Nucky, yet she screwed his right hand. I hope Nucky catches them going at it a second time and in a act of rage shoots them both. Then I'll be rid of two characters I either despise or dislike.

Glad to Chalky back in the mix.

I think tonight it really starts to take off.

Yep. One episode off. I kinda got that impression about the boss and Rosetti too but I think it might have been him giving his blessing to finish what he started. Did you notice his men giving the "oh shit, here we go" facial expressions when he showed up in the general hat? lol Dude is twisted.

I've been thinking the last couple weeks that Gillian was gonna die. When and if Nucky finds out she tipped off Rosetti she's done. And Nucky is smart. When he gets his faculties back he'll figure it out. The Richard-Gillian thing has been building all season. Starting with Gillian telling Tommy she was his mom. Richard loved his real mom and blasted Manny in the face with a shotgun for killing her. Then the disrespect of having Jimmy look like he died of a heroin overdose. As he said, "Jimmy deserved better than this". Nucky needs men desperately for the war. It seems to fit nicely. Oh and let's not forget Gillian has pissed off Luciano as well. Not a great prospect for ones future lol This would fit nicely.... Gillian gets killed by Richard or someone, Richard starts working for Nucky, Richard and his new girl(who is pretty sexy btw) adopt Tommy. For me Richard working for Nucky is inevitable. Just a matter of when and how. This fits pretty well.

Nucky spoke of expansion all the way to Chicago. That is where Al will come back into the main storyline. Van Alden will work for Al. That's coming. O'Bannion dies in these next 3 episodes and Torreo will give Al the business. Al could very well be Nucky's savior. I suspect Lucky and Meyer might have different feelings about helping Nucky than Rothstein does. This may be the split. Let's not forget Lucky and Meyer were in that blast too and while Meyer may have a cool head I'm positive Lucky wants Rosetti dead as much, if not, more than Nucky. In next weeks preview Lucky warns Rosetti's boss that Nucky is gonna make a move. It makes it look like Lucky is helping the guy. I think it might be the opposite. I think by the end of this season, 3 more episodes, all the old bosses die and the new blood takes over. Remember Nucky saying they need to set up rules that everyone in the room can agree on. That is the beginning of the commission that Lucky eventually founds. I think Meyer and Lucky listened closely to Nucky and like his idea. Plus Rosetti tried to kill them too. Whether they like it or not they are already in the war. Rosettis boss is Joe Masseria. I don't know if you know how he dies or if you want to know. I had to look it up just now and i'll just say it fits perfectly with what I've said so far.

If after warning him Lucky excuses himself to go to the restroom you know what's coming next.

That's how it happened in real life. Well the news is out there so I'll just say it. This is a major spoiler about how Joe "The Boss" Masseria dies so if you don't want it spoiled skip the rest of this post.

On April 15, 1931, Joe Masseria was assassinated at one of his favorite restaurants, Nuova Villa Tammaro in Coney Island.

Gangland legend has it that Masseria dined with Charles "Lucky" Luciano before his death. While they played cards, Luciano excused himself to the bathroom, when Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, Vito Genovese, Albert Anastasia and Joe Adonis rushed in and shot Masseria to death, his four bodyguards having mysteriously disappeared.

That's a who's who of the original gangsters right there. We all know of Bugsy and his building of Las Vegas. Genovese got his own family that remains today. Albert Anastasia founded and ran Murder Incorporated.

Has Salvatore Maranzano been introduced yet? It may be too early for Masseria to die because Maranzano has to show up first if they follow how it really went. Maranzano and Masseria fight each other in the Castellammarese War. Here's the story of that war if you wanna read it.

Yeah me either. He dies in 1931. I'm not sure exactly what year they're on now but I know it's the 20's. Early to mid 20's if I'm not mistaken. Since it's not 100% accurate historically they can play with things. Which makes it kinda cool. Kinda like the walking dead not following the comics exactly. How suspenseful would it be if we all already knew what was coming before it came? Not very.

Haha, that's crazy. Too bad I just now saw this post.

Looking forward to tonights episode. It's gonna really get rollin now.
