Rothstein is already well-established by this point.
I won't spoil all that happens with Capone but...
This is the year he takes over Cicero, Lansky and Luciano experience a huge rise in power and prominence as well. If there's any power growth with Rothstein it's abotu him cornering the drug market. Also Ness wasn't working for Hoover till 1927.
I wonder if we'll see any more of Masseria this season?

I for one, have felt the wait to be an eternity! This show, like the Wire and BB did on my first watch, grabbed me by the balls and never let go.
After season 3, it's better and more complex than either IMO. I equally care to see what happens with almost every character.

FWIW, I saw that Wikipedia has an S4 cast list up, though I haven't seen an official one on HBO's site. I hope this one is correct since it includes both Stephen Root and Julianne Nicholson among others.

I think him and Luciano will continue to clash with each other. In S3 Luciano was essentially Masserias whipping boy, but this season the tables will begin to turn IMO.
As for Ness, it would be awesome if a future season has a scene where Capone and Ness meet each other. Just a wink wink moment. It'd make a great final scene for the show lol.
Well it's not the first time you're late...
In all seriousness, get on with this when you finish BB. It's top tier television.

It also has Remus and Mellon returning. Time for SPECULATION!

Interestingly enough, several critics have mentioned several times that they think critics are commonly more praising of the show than the general audience because they get the season in two packs of six episodes.
If you look at the episode listings on HBO's site, the first episode of the season has a cast listing similar to prior, but from the second episode on the billing order is different, including Stephen Graham with second billing.
I realize that just adds to the confusion.

Didn't even realize this was so close. Looking forward to it.

It'd be interesting to see if there's any correlation between how much people enjoy specific shows and how they watch it (marathon vs weekly).
Heh, that is confusing. I'm just griping because HBO hasn't updated their website yet with the new cast list.If you look at the episode listings on HBO's site, the first episode of the season has a cast listing similar to prior, but from the second episode on the billing order is different, including Stephen Graham with second billing.

^ Yep.
Man I'd like to see them rope Scorsese into directing another episode, but the talent they have at the moment doesn't make me wish for it that much.

Interesting spoiler from Fienberg and Sepinwall's podcast (It's about a character showing up or not showing up)
Margaret isn't in the first 5 episodes and is apparently barely even mentioned.

yeah he great but do wonder why they change his last name from Duffy to Doyle

Surprised he hasn't been seen more on the big screen besides that Allen Ginsberg film. I thought he'd shoot to stardom.

He's in Three Movies this year, one next year (so far), and one of the more popular acclaimed television shows...he's pretty big.
Also his grandfather is Legendary Hollywood director John Huston. So yeah...he probably doesn't need to take whatever roles he can get. He's probably just in a really good spot and only takes super interesting roles.

I could see that. I think this show definitely benefits from watching marathon style, though it also works well when watching weekly. It's good either way. ^__^
WHAAAAATTT
wait what
:/
Eh, it's probably for the best, as she doesn't really have a reason to interact with any of the other characters on the show and I'd rather they not try and shoehorn her into anything, but I am sort of surprised they didn't give her her own B plot this year.
Margaret has been a problematic character for a lot of people for a long time, so perhaps this is an example of the writers "learning from their mistakes" by writing her out of the show until all the new storylines have first been established for the most important characters.

She also had a child at the end of 2012, so perhaps they shifted a lot of her story to the back end of the season. Winter talked a bit at the end of S3 about how it was difficult to keep her tied into the story, but they had some ideas and wanted to make them work.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Is it strange they haven't cast
for this season?

Forget Breaking Bad I'm all over this. The weekly wait per episode will be a killer now that I'm all caught up though.

Along with the second soundtrack album that HBO released for BE, there's a project called "Sound of the Onyx" that's taking classic tunes and remixing them. One sample track here as Pete Rock takes on the classic Sugarfoot Stomp, originally played by New Orleans jazz band Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks.

Watching some of "Sunday Best" since it's on right now - this sequence with Eli hiding Easter eggs at the beginning is so good.

Is there any show on television whose cinematography is as constantly brilliant without drawing attention to itself?

Dexter, of course. And LOST. In fact those shows are written better, too.
The cinematography on Dexter has been horrible and boring for 4-5 seasons.
If you're talking early seasons of LOST or seasons 1/2/4 of Dexter, you might have case. Otherwise,

Yeah, that's laughable.
My favorite show. Hands down. I have been totally hooked on Breaking Bad, but the wife missed all of S3 of BE so we marathoned it and I'm reminded that no show has ever captivated me like this one. It is always well written, beautifully shot and the detail is incredible. It really sucks you in like a time machine to the 20s.
I again teared up as Capone sang to his son, and got goosebumps at: "then we talk about who dies."
How Capone hasn't won an emmy award is beyond me.

I think it's cause up till now, he's kinda been a minor character. Now we're seeing him step up and more of the story should focus on him.
This could be his year.

Which episode in season 3 is the one that features Capone's relationship with his son?
My schedule is very tight, but I want to watch that one and at least the last two prior to Sunday's season premiere.
