Saw this on a friends DVR. It was amazing. This looks worth 10 bucks a month.

That was Colosimo that was shot and I think they gave him a bit of short shrift. They kind of make him out to be a bumbling idiot that gets blown away when in reality, he was a critical organized crime boss and was the equal of Torrio as far as gangland politics go. In fact, my recollection is that Torrio and Colosimo were partners at one point. I think they started the episode about a year too late, they had some excellent character development that they missed out on pre-Volstead act. I'm also not sure I loved Buscemi in this show. He seemed a little out of place; I just don't see him having a dark enough side for this character. I think it would've been better with a guy like the guy that played Rothstein as Nucky's character. Should still be very good, but I'd have made a few changes. |

I think that Enoch is supposed to be a character who is, for lack of a better word, a pansy. Remember at the end when Jimmy (i think thats his name, the WWI vet) says, "You can't be half gangster. Not anymore." I think that was a tell-tale sign that Enoch is trying to not be a gangster, and maybe he will have a hard time deciding whether he will stay half-legit or go in all the way. Sorry if I didn't make any sense there, I'm pretty tired. |

HBO is a subscription service and to my knowledge, does not accept cash for product placement. Doug Ellin recently mentioned this in an article. http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/how_...nOQmgjFX38MnzI Ellin said he couldn't charge for product placements even if he wanted to, because HBO is an advertising-free channel. But he uses real brands the way he uses real celebrities, like Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who was in a recent episode. "I try to keep it as real as possible," said Ellin. That's why E (Kevin Connolly) drinks Belvedere on the rocks and Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon) orders Johnny Walker Blue. "Guys have specific tastes," Ellin observed. |

It just seems from the commercials that he's supposed to be a bit of a badass. Rothstein is asking him over the phone if 'this is how you do business' and he yells back at him "if you want to see how we do business, show your ass in Atlantic City again" or something equally bravado-ey. If they're trying to sell him as a pushover, a pissing match with Rothstein isn't the way to go about it. Nor was "then stop listening to the grown-ups conversations" crack on Lucciano. I see them actually trying to send him down a darker road and I just don't think he has those chops. And what fun would a pansy primary character be anyway? We shall see. |

I guess it could be considered weak because it was just the character introductions but I was still really impressed. |
