Actually, if you've seen Groundhog Day, he's one half of the young couple who Bill Murray's character presents with tickets for Wrestle Mania at the end! He's virtually unrecognisable.

Not only a great line, but the delivery was classic - a combination of disgust, disdain and mild surprise - all conveyed through tone and facial expression.

Totally agree. And when this series started, I did not think Steve Buscemi had the chops for it. I think he's growing into the leading role well and I really like him this season.

Took a long time for me not to see him as Donny from the Big L, but now he's all Nucky

I'm amazed, but I still hear criticism about him in this role. He owns the role; to your point, he has grown stronger in it and - despite my enthusiasm for several other long-term characters such as Chalky or Richard - Nuck is the glue that holds it all together, he's the center of the entire insane Boardwalk Empire universe.

Last season, Nucky was weak, and it hurt the show. It's cool for him to have love interests, but at heart, he's a brutal gangster. They need to keep that front and center like they are now. he also needs a gal like Sally - not those wishy washy ex's of his. Whatever they decided last year was smart as I feel like this season brought back all the potential of this show.

It's no coincidence that Nucky summons his troops in a hotel named The ALBATROSS... Don't you just love the small details in this show.

Well I didn't see that one coming, but with one more show you have to wonder who's going to be swingin in the wind next week. I'm going to guess Nucky's going to figure out what going on with his bro though.

Another great episode. Phillips went to great lengths to get that confession huh?
I'm very sad to see this season end.

He sure did. Too great a length, I'd say. That setup was more than a bit too elaborate, and way too subject to going wrong.
But wotthehell, it's fiction, right? Richard's one-man Seal Team show at the Artemis Club last season strained credulity well beyond its breaking point, but that didn't make it any less satisfying.
That camera shot from above, with Gillian flailing at the men taking her in, was reminiscent of the shot down the staircase in Psycho. You know, the descent into darkness, in the case of the Hitchcock film, and into personal ruin, in Gillian's.
Interesting that Gillian's attorney tells her, earlier in the episode, that persistence and financial resources tend to prevail in custody disputes. And it turns out that it was persistence and financial resources that brought Gillian to justice.

Thanks but truth be told I only got it HALF right! I thought he was working for the dead kids parents but instead it was a revenge plot for the Commodore's old drinkin' buddy!!!! I did not see him doing that nor Gillian giving up the boy so easily. I personally don't think it's the last we'll see of her... She so purely evil and so viciously diabolical I don't see her ending her days in solitary or death row. She could go to hell for a million other crimes but killing that old basterd was/is the least of hers....

I'm guessing he already has. There's that scene at the dinner table, where Eli loses his cool, for one thing, and then, for another, there's that conversation with Will about the baby-faced "insurance agent."
Gaston Means being in custody may be his saving grace, seeing how Eli, who knows (thanks to Nucky's having mentioned to Eli that it was Means who told him there was "a skunk in your cellar") that Means has the goods on him. Dead men don't talk, etc. But Eli's getting a bullet into Means while he is in the lockup might prove much more difficult than Nucky's gathering from him the information he has on that skunk.
Nucky looks to be setting a trap for the skunk.

Am I the only one who doesn't find Gillian entirely unsympathetic?
She's diabolical, for sure. And I sure as hell wouldn't want her getting custody of little Tommy. But man, that girl is damaged goods. Turned out at age, what? Twelve? Or was it more like the ripe old age of 13 or 14? Someone refresh my memory here, please.

I actually feel sympathy for Gillian. It's a land full of victims.
