I didn't think it was really a spoiler since, as you stated, the show can deviate from history if it suits them and I truly don't know what will happen in the show only what happened in the real world.

Yeah, I don't think it's a spoiler either, but the way you finished the post was humerous. You basically said that the problem with the show is that some suspense is taken away if you know the history, then you informed people of the history.

I can't argue with that. I guess I am in the wrong as the show has been pretty accurate so far. The only big problem I have noticed is that Capone was shown to be somewhat timid in the first season and intimidated around other gangsters. In reality Capone was a violently brutal man since his youth and I have never read an account of him acting sheepish around anyone. I have read two books on him and his violent temper seemed to control most of his actions to the point that if he felt slighted even by a boss he probably would not be able to control it.

I have been thinking of a way to get Harrow into the fight and I think I might have one.

We know Harrow loves Jimmy's kid and thinks Gillian is a POS. He is also falling in love with a woman and has a real chance at a normal life which we all know is something he is craving.

He goes to Nucky with info that it was Gillian that tipped off Gyp about where he would be the night of the bombing. Harrow would know because he is in the house and would know who has been coming and going. He gets the ok to wack out Gillian and take the kid away in exchange for killing Gyp and Nucky providing money for him and his new family to start their new lives somewhere else.

Just a thought that made some sense to me.

Nucky is closely based on the real life Nucky Johnson. Former Sheriff and later Treasurer of Atlantic County who was followed as Sheriff by his brother Eli. I read the Wiki on Johnson and saw what year he died but I won't post spoilers.

They need to start killing people before the season comes to a close. Gyp with the hat was nice

I took it as Gyp telling the kid his name then Teddy just assumed Gyp was short for gypsy.

I think this gets cruelly taken from him somehow and that sets him off. Sucks, but that seems to be the way this show works.

Could definetly see Harrow's woman get accidentally taken out in a crossfire from Gyp's people and Harrow just loses it.

Nucky could then use Harrow's anger on his side, show Rothstein and Luciano that he has a chance, and they will support Nucky

As far as the Chicago storyline i expect they'll probably wait til Season 4 to intersect Chicago/East Coast empires

Just watched the show last night...

Anyone feel bad for Tommy when he told Harrow in the end that he wants to go home? Think he realizes both his parents have been killed? Never know what Gillian told him, especially because she is telling him she is his mother. Also, last season she told Jimmy that Tommy would forget about his mother in a few weeks after she was killed.

I think Gillian is having an effect on me. When I first read this, I thought to myself "wait, Gillian isn't dead...............oooooh yeah."
