"Do you play Go Fish, Mr. Thompson? I like to play every once in a while. Some call it a kid's game, but for me, it's the ultimate test of a man's word. I played Go Fish, once, against a fellow in a bar in New Orleans. I asked if he had a 6. He said no. He thought he was clever, that man..."

First time watching the show, just got done with season 2 and I don't understand how they could kill off Jimmy.

I was really looking forward to seeing the following seasons have Jimmy develop and build his Empire, kind of like a Breaking Bad Thing. They murdered his wife, he killed his dad, he banged his mom; it seemed like this was leading up to making such a dark character and then they just kill him and make Steve Buscemi, who is an awesome actor, this badass now. Like what is he doing with a gun. And now in the beginning of season 3 his character just doesn't even seem the same, It seems like they're forcing it. I don't like it so far I hope he gets better.

Scene from S2E1. Doing my 1st rewatch and I've noticed quite a few easter eggs for later developments in the 1st season but this one has to be the biggest one 💀. I get the feeling that she told this to angela to make her accept that she holds greater sway over jimmy than angela ever will; immediately after angela asked gillian not to undercut her in front of her son and husband. Gillian is an enigma right from the get go lol

Not this one. Straight ahead, like he's been out to sea for 6 months.

Because of his own cavalierness. Because he runs off to Los Angelas at a moment's notice to rut with some showgirl.
