When Velcoro asked if Bezerides missed anything (when they were drinking right before the hook up), was that just some random come on line, or was there something in particular he was asking her about?

---

I took it as if he was asking her if she would miss anything about her life when they disappear or leave the country. Basically it was 2 people with shitty lives coming to realization that they have lived shitty lives.

...or he could have been asking her if she wanted the dick

and that episode was fantastic

love how everything is actually coming together

my wife had to pull IMDB up though several times so we would know who they were talking about

I use Closed Captioning last night for the first time and wow...makes a HUGE difference.

yep

I've been doing this for awhile now

for almost all BBC shows and shows where they whisper or mumble a lot, its a necessity IMO

I've been using CC since the second episode. It helps a ton, especially with all the names.

I think Frank is going to use the Mexican Gang as his muscle. To take out the guys who Blake told him about who are having the big trade off. Osef will be there as Blake told him. Frank doesn't want the cash which would be a great incentive for the Mexicans. He wants the Diamonds. Now that the deal Frank gave the Mexicans last episode is dead. Because even if Frank hadn't torched the places, they could never get that deal from the Russians. This could be a revenge motive for the Mexicans.

Good point. I was wondering how Frank was going to be able to use all that ammo.

the main problem is that people that havent been featured in the show all season, are all of a sudden very important characters, and they are throwing their names out left and right like we are supposed to know who the frick they are.

---

Somewhat, but they're not that difficult to figure out.

Were in the early episodes a lot. And knowing what we knew about Vinci from the very beginning, it wasn't a stretch to assume we should know who these guys are.

frickin' stan

Yeah ok, nobody knew who he was

these 2 girls with the diamonds and shite

We knew the missing girl would be a storyline from episode 1.

the opposite as far as the acting and dialogue being absolutely terrible compared to season 1. Thankfully the last 2 episodes have been pretty good.

---

I think he meant the opposite as in Last season was really good until the very end, where it dropped off. I barely made it through the first half of this season and now it seems to be getting much better. I am a little nervous of them pulling another shite the bed finale though where I think it is going to be awesome only........not to be awesome. And you are dead on with these characters barely being in the show all of a sudden being relevent. I can't remember who the hell they are either.

I think it might have been a mistake for Frank to say anything to Mayor Chessani in the bar, but we will see.

He was talking to the Jew about selling diamonds, right, not buying them? That was the only part that had me confused last night

---

Sounded to me like he was talking about selling them, but Im not totally sure.

also...

who thinks Frank's chick is fricking him over?

That would be royally fricked if she did that to him.

I would hate the show pretty much.

I really liked this episode.

But the Blake character's acting was horrible. "Triple cross" LMAO.

Vince is killing it though. And I don't get the hate for his wife, she plays her role well.
