Two thumbs up

Some serious T&A in that thing. Awesome lesbian sex scene. Plus, some great plot lines. The sniper dude from WWI with the mask was an awesome touch.

Just watched a show on PTSD on HBO, where they talked about the prevalence of shell shock among WWI veterans. Brings the story home for the Jimmy character.

Yeah, I've been enjoying this too. Lots of characters and stories to follow. I like the mix of real and fictional characters.

Can't express adequately just how much I like this series. I've been fascinated lately with WW1 and I've been to the WW1 museum in Kansas City. Unbelievable what those men went through.

Great show. Surprising characters.

It's not bad, but for some reason didn't grab me like I thought it would. Pace is just a little slow, I think. I wanted to love it.

May end up devouring it once out on disc, but for now it's off my Sunday DVR list.

This was exactly my thought. I watched the whole season, but it didn't do nearly as much for me as I hoped it would.

Another home run for HBO IMO.
Can't wait for Season 2.

Bump.

I love this show.

Baffled, I love your sig pix, but it's made the whole forum NSFW, bro. And easy to see too, no plausible deniability.

this is relevant to my interests

Paz de la Huerta is Nucky's former girlfriend that is now knocked up and living with the Treasury agent in the second season. Google this chick...she is smokin' fuckin' hot but batshit crazy...that act on screen is no act.

You're right. I'll find something less awesome but safer for people who show up at this place from work.

I guess I forgot you guys have jobs. zing!

This show is awesome though.

Does anyone think that Kelly Macdonald, nucky's Irish lady, is kind of deceptively hot?

Oh, she most definitely is...but the other chick is super hot like she came from Clark Kent's home planet. I do have a man crush on Jimmy and the Sniper though. Christ he's making me want to get a trench knife and carry it in my boot/flipflops.

I was so close to posting a pic of Paz de la Huerta, but people got pissed about my previously awesome sig turning this place NSFW.

I honestly had my laptop out while I watched the last episode and was looking for a trench knife w/ an ankle holster after that.

Decided it's not a good idea for me.

They're all gone now but I propose that of men who have engaged in mortal combat on behalf of god and country and survived at least physically, the veterans of the Great War were perhaps the most brutalized. Jimmy's character demonstrates this. I realize it's a show made for tv but I ask you, if a man has engaged in almost routine killing of other men at the risk of his own life, how can anything of less risk even cause him to raise an eyebrow? When Jimmy dispatched those two gentlemen in the park at night that caused him now more concern than ordering a sandwich. And if it didn't go the way he planned, it wouldn't have mattered that much either. I bet there were a lot of very damaged and dangerous fellows walking around in the 20's and 30's.

I think you make a good point, Shape. I have no experience in the military, but understand that each generation has had their warriors who have come home with quite a bit of psychological trauma. Yet, it would seem to me that the magnitude of WWI and WWII had some serious heaviness for those young men.

I mean, didn't WWI wipe out almost an entire generation of young men in Europe? Imagining the memories and the burden you would feel by being one of the survivors. I think they probably do pretty good with Jimmy and his buddy. Hell, think about if that was real instead of a fictional TV show. You make it out relatively unscathed with a bum leg and a roughed up psyche, but you're okay. You befriend a fellow vet who's missing half his face. The world may look a little different after that.

I love this show.

she was in Trainspotting, and hot in that.

Well it's settled then! TROY has weighted in and he's qualified his opinion but it is a positive endorsement nonetheless. NEXT ISSUE!

Just finished watching tonight's episode and that was some of the best television I've ever seen. That last piece of dialogue between the sniper and the hunter in the woods was pure fucking magic. I played it over just to make sure I heard it right. My new all-time favorite show.

My cable froze right when that dialogue was happening. I hate my cable provider.

It seems like every time a heavy point is happening on a show I'm watching, it shits the bed.

I'll have to hit it ondemand later today.

The whole episode if full of great stuff. Jimmy and the sniper have an exchange near the end of the episode that is just as meaningful as the previous one I mentioned. The writing on the show is tremendous. Obviously Timmah is not involved.

Could you tell because you managed to stay awake all the way through?

I thought this episode was awesome as well, but did anyone think that there is no way those hunters would have treated the sniper like that? I was afraid we were headed to a Deliverance moment.

I think the guy living out in the woods has seen more than a few choose to off themselves there.

Scene with the fat cats was awesome. Revenge scene was awesome.
