I do too. I just think there are certain things going on that feel a bit forced. When Nucky first went to Cuba there were the obvious Godfather nods, and now Capone doing his best Tommy DeVito.

The storylines in this show have always moved at weird paces, but one of the things I love about this show is that usually doesn't matter. Just watching these characters interact in their settings is a treat. I'm just worried that there isn't enough time to dick around right now.

I like it so far. The first episode was meh, but finally acknowledging Van Alden as Van Alden is nice.

Spoiler: show
Good chance the kid that begged Mickey for a job is Tommy Darmondy.

I definitely like it, I'm just seeing a few more problems than I'm used to with this show.

A little bit. But otherwise this was the best episode of the season so far.

Agreed.

I also think that actor had Steve Buscemi's quirks and mannerisms down to a tee.

Ha yeah I thought so too ( I kept thinking Austin Powers), but agree about him nailing the part. Overall the episode last night was the best one yet this season.

Yeah that was a good one. I just where there was more time for the endgame here.

The shot of the alley in the last scene was beautifully done too.

I liked last nights episode, but I feel like the Van Alden thing should have been more drawn out, rather than over the course of two episodes.
