Not only is it a very good show but seeing Buscemi playing a more thoughtful, understated character is exciting as I always thought he had a better range than was portrayed in is former roles.

Did anyone notice Omar from "The Wire" waiting to see Buscemi close to the beginning of the episode?

Yes. I saw him sitting there, said "Omar walking" - my wife gave me a very strange look until I explained.

Somewhere I have an old theater program from about 1920 that has a full-page ad for Colosimo's restaurant on the back. The featured performer is the girl Colosomo ditched his wife for--an act that, it's been said, contributed to his getting whacked by Capone.

Good who. I was confused, what was the deal with the big fat guy and the 19 Yr old blonde chick? what do they have to do with anything?

Sounds like "Big Jim" Colosimo...see my prior comment.

Colosimo was a major early Outfit boss in pre-Prohibition Chicago...about 1920-21 he dumped his longtime (Italian) wife for a young (non-Italian) singer at his restaurant, which outraged many in the Chicago underworld and opened up an opportunity for his longtime second-in-command, Johnny Torrio, to remove him and take his place.

To do the job, Torrio brought in a young man from Five Points, Brooklyn...named Alphonse Capone.

I think they were introduced to set up the ending of episode 2 which is the cliffhanger part for episoe 3.

Yep, there's a difference of opinion on how many guys were killed in the road. Now we know why.

E.J. · 09-29-2010, 12:46 PM

Have really enjoyed this so far....

hscmit · 09-29-2010, 01:48 PM

I thought the second episode was a bit slow. I was hoping for more action, but maybe this set things up for the next few episodes and things can start happening.

PeteSB75 · 09-29-2010, 01:58 PM

While we are certainly enjoying it, my wife and I have taken to calling this show B00bwalk Empire...

Just like Rome

I think this might be a one season show, since it is loosely following history and might be wrapped up in one season. I can't see Scorsese doing TV long term.
