OK can someone catch me up? I am not really interested in reading a full recap... I wasn't going to watch but the interviews with the creators and actors and how it's more about relationships than the activities involved, makes me want to give it another shot. So I started about 20 minutes into this one. Excuse my pathetic ambivalence, should I stay or should I go??

There is now no relationship between us and I find your contortions merely embarrassing.

OK I don't think I need anyone to catch me up at all... it is very slow-moving. Though I am now curious to know if anyone else is watching anymore!

i am.
i liked tonight's episode much better than the second one, but not as much as the first one.

i have a feeling the black donnelley's is going to get cancelled, so i'll stick with it until then.

You know I think it was an improvement over the last ep too, b/c I did have the set on for that and I could not be bothered to watch it. This one held my attention. But both are major drops in energy and excitement compared to that first one, almost a bait&switch. And are the brothers ever going to stop being complete idiots? Ugh.

is anyone else caught up besides me?


i like where this is going. there was a slight lag in there, but this last episode (and the one before) i liked alot. i like that they are getting the widow involved. PURE MORAL DILEMMA. i also like that tommy isn't forgiving jenny for hooking up with that baker guy. that little rebuff scene was pretty awesome.

and kevin doesn't seem to have alot of IMPORTANT stuff to do besides some petty crime lately, but his scenes are funny. thats ok by me.

i'm following it.

and i agree, the 2nd ep was really crappy, but it got back on track after that.
