I think it shows how desperate woman had to become in order to care for their family in those times if they lost their husband. Women back then typically did not have education or ability to gain high paying jobs to support a family.
Does she live in poverty and watch her kids suffer or take advantage of nucky's generosity. Caring for children would make you do things you would think normally you would not.
Isn't nucky Jimmie's father? For some reason i was thinking he was that is why he went bat shit crazy on that guy from NY when he disrespected his mother. So perhaps that is why he has an interest in their family and their young kid making sure they are provided for.
I would not be all that surprised if nucky's bat shit crazy old gf kills margaret
nucky is not jimmy's dad. uncle or cousin or something...a definite tony/christopher--sopranos dynamic there.
you are probably right about the desperation thing. i dunno...maybe it just seems like margarette is enjoying it too much. i would think someone like her would do this for her kids, but at the same time regret that she has to depend on a man for everything
So this week's episode was one of the best so far.
It is nice to see Nucky sweat a bit and it is going to be interesting to see how Margarete handles knowing about the booze.
I can't wait to see jimmy come back to AC I think this season is going to end with a BANG
Charlotte 00 Charlotte 03 Asheville 04 Atlanta 12 Greenville 16, Columbia 16 Seattle 18 Nashville 22
That preview for the remaining episodes makes it look like the season is going to end very strongly.
Around episode 4, I was debating if I should continue watching. Glad I did because the last couple of episodes have been great and the story lines are coming together really well. Can't wait to see how it all plays out!
I was glad when that crazy ass-fed guy gave Jimmy's ex her money. Good episode.
The cinemetography here was really something !
( Was that a real porno from the early 20s? )
They made it look like he was taking the cash for his wifes medical procedure ,
but whoa when he actually sent it to Angela Darmody ,
and instead gave his wife a card saying if it was meant to be, it was meant to be .
( having a child )
The one eyed war buddy is gonna develop into a key character back in Atlantic City, cannot wait !

I agree, it appears to really be picking up steam. I think Jimmy and his buddy are going to go nuts in AC. How many episodes are left this year, 4 or 5?
...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...

great episode yet again. i think there are 4 left.
i was confused with the whole fed sending the money to jimmy's ex because i was under the impression they were not married. why would she have his last name? did i miss something?...........but, yeah, that scene was great. feel bad for alden's wife.

I'm not 100% sure but I think i remember her being refered to as his "common law wife" because they were living together i guess. Perhaps that is why she took his last name?
I'm not sure either though.

Whoa !
Every week this show gets more and more intense!
I hope HBO can keep it up, and doesnt pull the plug suddenly like they did with Deadwood !
The storyline of Nelson the FBI agent is really screwey- especially the semi- pornographic scene with Nookys ex !
Holy Shit !
And how about the rough justice scene in the barn with Myr Lanski, the Italian Brothers,
and Nooky, Jimmy and Chalky !
Whoa !

Yeah, that barn scene was badass!
I wonder about Nelson though. He comes off as this god fearing, holy, can't do anything wrong guy...but then he has this dark side. He beats himself with his belt, now he...of all people...go to a social gathering and knocks back some whiskey and bangs Nucky's ex.
I wonder if he has a history of these things, but got himself cleaned up and takes a passion in this stuff because he is no longer that person. I mean, he did take down that whiskey pretty easily for someone "who doesn't drink".
I forget exactly how it went down but when Jimmy shoots the one italian brother that was awesome. He said something like "well i wasn't gonna kill ya but since you opened your mouth you changed my mind"
and of course Omar (he wil always be omar to me ) choking that other bitch out was nice too

And looks like Margaret is none too happy with Nucky next episode. But
w/out him she would not be living so nicely. or getting the shit beat out of her!!!
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

i think this has edged dexter out to be the best show on tv right now. just watched this week's episode. it was fucking greatness. can't wait to see what happens on sunday.
did nelson know that was nucky's ex? did he purposely go there because he knew she would be there? i was thinking maybe he thinks that is his absolute last resort to get anymore dirt on nucky and the only way he could get some info out of her is if he had relations with her......and he needed to get a little hammered to cheat on his wife. ? i dunno. just thinking out loud here...

Last night's episode was friggen great!
Spoiler below (for those who haven't seen this week's episode...
Man, Nelson is f'n nuts!!

as f@cked up as that scene was it was also kind of funny because his partner had absolutely no idea what was going on. i was expecting to him to scream out "i'm jewish you bastard!"
but yeah, that episode was great. kind of the calm before the storm next week. sucks there's only 1 episode left.

how bout nucky being jimmy's mom's pimp for the commodor back in the day? that is some pretty f@cked up shit.
and it answers the question we had about how old she was when she had him. 13! i was off by 2 years. so she's in her young to mid 30's in this. sounds about right.

was it me or did it look like that crooked fbi agent's car was headed south instead of north when he killed that dude.
also the lesbian thing with jimmy's girl seems unnecessary... not that i'm complaining :twisted:
