Here's a first look at Gyp Rosetti, the new guy who's out to challenge Nucky. He's almost as well dressed as him. Looking forward to the start of the season.

EDIT: Didn't realise that they were also in the link just above. I'm gonna leave the post here in the hope that I get a few thanks.

I don't know... I just don't know. While it could be absolutely brilliant, I feel they should have left it at 2 seasons. The stories were so brilliant and intricate, and most have seemingly come to a conclusion that satisfied everything. Boardwalk Empire was/is one of the greatest television programmes ever made; right up there with The Sopranos and The Wire.

But (and I sincerely hope I'm going to be proven wrong about this), I think that perhaps this could be too much of a good thing. I really hope they can maintain the high standard they set for the first 2 seasons, but I have a niggly, pessimistic feeling that the 3rd Season could be a bit disappointing. Don't ask me why! It's just a horrible hunch I have...

I think it'll be great.

As long as Agent Van Alden is a main part of it all then it'll be brilliant. In many ways he's nearly the best character in it for me. The straight-laced cop who has gone on the run from the law. Really hope he's in it a lot but this trailer is worrying me a little.

Stephen Graham better be in it a good bit as well. After Jimmy's death I hope Al gets a bump up and features more. Graham is such a great actor and his portrayal of Capone is so good that it'd be a real waste of his talents to have him in the background.

I can see van alden taking a back seat for this season but returning with a vengeance in later seasons.

I sure hope they have a plan for this show. I'm not asking for babylon 5 levels of preperation but a rough draft of where each character is going and how the story will work out. As great a show as it is I would much rather know it will end and that the end is already being thought about.

The Chicago mob wars that ultimately lead to the rise of Capone are beginning. And on a local note - agent Van Alden appears about to cross to the dark side in a paid capacity. My Breaking Bad withdrawal symptoms are easing already.
Nucky's wife is still annoying me - seems to be annoying him too. If I wanted hospital consultants I'd have read the paper.

Oh, and that's it for me being a good samaritan to roadside breakdowns.

I loved that first episode. It really sets up the 3rd season, and with the Chicago mob wars, Richard going all crazy on Jimmy and Angie's killers, and the rivalry between Nucky, Rothstein, Luciano etc and the new guy Rosetti, the 3rd season could actually be better than the first two seasons.

jcsoulinger · 17-09-2012, 20:30

It was a very good first ep. I am missing Jimmy tho he was a very good character with the exception of Richard and V|an Alden prob the most complex in the show. I not sure if Richard will go after Nucky, Jimmy was fair game put Jimmys wife crossed the line.
Cant believe Nucky and Mags are just keepin up appearances after she crossed him, Eoin is definitely gonna get some more action from Mags if Nucky keeps stayin away.

Jimmy Iovine · 17-09-2012, 20:35

Great to see my two favourite characters, Val Alden and Al, getting decent air time in that episode.

Al's storyline is setting up to be something pretty spectacular I think. Stephen Graham is such an amazing actor. I remember seeing him in Snatch a few years back ("I ****ing hate pikeys"). No way would you think that they were both the same actor. And then Graham himself has a proper Scouse accent so that makes it even more incredible. Whoever is giving him dialect lessons deserves an Emmy.

Michael Shannon steals every scene that he's in for me though. The one with him in the apartment talking to himself in the mirror was a strange one. He made me feel like I should be sorry for him and then I remembered that he got himself into this whole mess by killing his partner. Shannon played it to perfection.

I'm kinda hoping that he takes up O'Banion's offer and looks for a job. Whether that takes him into the crime world or if it's a legitimate job I don't know.

Then the two lads came together for what I think was the best scene in the episode, the one in the flower shop. As O'Banion said Van Alden has a brilliant poker face.

Line of the night goes to Nucky: "she should spread her legs and let her husband be the one to spread his wings".

Worst line of the night was O'Banion's attempt at saying 'sláinte'. Hope he doesn't try using too many more Irish phrases.

Such a sexist thing to say. He'd have his balls chopped off today, but I suppose it was a common thought back then.

Where was Chalky? Hope he doesn't stay out of the picture for too long. Not sure how much of a role he'll have though. There's already enough gangsters in the series to make two shows out of it.

Wonder also what the future holds for Richard? I thought the new girl that Gillian introduced had a bit of a look at him. Maybe I was just seeing things though. He clearly still has strong feelings for Jimmy's wife. That shooting at the end was beautiful.

Wish I had these episodes lined up. It'll be a long wait until next week.
