Once again the Van Alden and Harrow stories really got to me. With Van Alden it really hurts seeing him having such bad luck and yet it is also really nice seeing him seem happy with his wife. Michael Shannon just does that blank expression of true sorrow so well. I hope he catches a break soon.
And Harrow oh god that scene with Nucky, so so good. I really wish HBO would put some campaigning behind Jack Huston for Emmys etc (even if the Supporting Actor awards are crazy busy he deserves a nom).
I agree with Lou below..... Van Alden and Richard are my favorites by far.......I must say though that every time Gyp appears on the screen I pay closer attention cause this guy is crazy!!!
I agree!!! Richard was brilliant in this episode, and I agree that Jack Huston deserves way more praise for his portrayal of Richard. I'm finding that Richard has some of the best scenes in the series....another being Richard's suicide contemplation in the woods last season and Richard and Jimmy meeting for the first time in the VA hospital.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
