Not checking out any of the previews, I'm looking forward to it.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Psyched for this

 

[pete]

watched the 'behind the scenes' clip from last season finale too. had actually forgotten just how good it was.

Gonna miss Gyp.

 

[GO]

I just finished Season 3 on Tuesday night!

PSYCHED to fuck for this.

Blows the shite out of every other show going

 

[David Kronenbourg]

A welcome return. Eddie Kessler is the man. That bottling scene was fucking grim.

 

[hermie]

Got the sense during the first episode that all the best characters have been either killed (Jimmy, Gyp, Angela) or side-lined (AR, Alden). If they keep going this way they'll need to focus even more on Capone and take the Richard Harrow arc out of it's current tailspin because there's a whole lot of meh in between. Good to have it back all the same.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

I got the impression that this season will focus on the rise of Capone – we’ve been introduced to his brothers in the first episode. I think Van Alden will be back. He’s working with O’Bannion now, isn’t he?

Yeah I can see that, hopefully it does. He seemed to be going that way alright. Although it's been pretty quiet on that front. In fairness to the show it must be tough to work around Michael Shannon's film and theatre duties. He keeps himself busy that lad.

Seriously good episode this week.

 

[hermie]

Seriously good episode this week.

Really? Thought it was a bit hammy myself. Melodrama and overactors at every turn. I like Richard's sister though, her character has potential. But his story arc hasn't really gripped me as yet.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Yeah, I loved it. Good to see Van Alden back. His little Frankenstein grunt after he brains someone with the kosh was great. Also, Eddie Kessler is one of my favourite characters so i hope he gets some more screen time this season. I'm not sure about Dr. Narcisse though. His character is a little bit campy.

Chalky will have murdered him by the end of the season. He somewhat reminded me of a less good Brother Mouzone in his mannerisms.

Yep, one of the weaker characters in the Wire and this guy is a third-rate version of that at best. They've been way too heavy handed with Chalkey's storyline which is a shame because it has so much promise.

EDDDDDIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!

I feel like Al did in the morgue.

Poor auld Eddie has lost the run of himself altogether.

I love that Dr.Narciissus lad..delighted him and Don Purnsley have teamed up!

I don't know if we need all these spoiler tags after the event?

I about cried when Eddie departed although it was obvious. I'd almost have preferred if he'd gone nuts on the fed or at least spent a few weeks supposing to inform on Nucky. I suppose one of the themes again is how Nucky poisons what he touches.

Best episode this season if not of the show so far.

Fuck. Poor Eddie. What a sad end for a brave, loyal man. The writers are bastards. They keep killing of my favourite characters!

I was genuinely gutted when it happened, telly doesn't get me that way very often. But it was probably a better way for him to go than Nucky killing him when he discovers that he's a rat.

I agree but he was so proud that Nucky had given him proper responsibilities : (
