Scorsese directed the first episode... check this:
"The first episode, directed by Martin Scorsese, is the most expensive pilot episode produced in television history, with a final cost of $18 million."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boa…
"The production would eventually build a 300-foot-long (91 m) boardwalk in an empty lot in Brooklyn, New York at the cost of five million dollars. Despite a reported budget of up to $50 million, the pilot's final budget came in at $18 million."

Wonder how extensive Martin Scorsese's role is in this series
- Doubt it's very much at all. At the beginning he was just a name to help promote it.CygnusZero4
- I disagree. A recent NPR segment stated this he continues to review and provide input on each episode.waterhouse
- The dude is neck deep in various projects a lot more high profile than this.CygnusZero4
- I seriously doubt he has a lot to do with this show. He isn't spending his days working on it.CygnusZero4

Nucky has opined more than once that Jimmy couldn't hack it at Princeton, suggesting that he caved to some sort of pressure.
Now we, the viewers, have more insight into the circumstances of his Army enlistment, his emotional damage and his violent temper.
If Nucky thinks that Jimmy's hopelessly in over his head, then Nucky won't see what I think's coming.

Jimmy's mom is fucking nuts. Its like she is trying to control her crazy at all times, then BAM! Bitch cant help it....with that being said. I would have fucked her. ;D

I guess anything is possible, but knowing they have another season lined up and how the entire show is based around Jimmy and Nucky, hard for me to believe anything major is happening to them this season.
If Nucky goes to prison, I guess the next season could pick up years later after his release, or someone does something to have him released. I dont know.
By the way the show is loosely based on the real Nucky. Not sure if everyone knew this already.

So any predictions on how it ends? My guess is that Jimmy's days are numbered.
- What, next week? No way. They already have a 3rd season lined up.CygnusZero4
- Spoilers >ukit2
- The rumor is that Jimmy dies, may or may not be trueukit2
- no, Jimmy has people looking out for him. he ain't going nowhere.sine
- margarate is loosing it, and will probably leave nucky and testifysine
- but nucky and jimmy are still the main characters in this story. we'll see them again...sine
- I don't think Jimmy will die. If he does he'll bring others with him.orrinward2
- His wife dying is lining up for retaliation.orrinward2

the outbursts of violence are so well done on this show .. some are truly scary.

That episode was insane last night. Might be one of the best episodes of any show that I've ever seen.
- ukit20
- That guy Richard with the half face is really loyal to Jimmy.CygnusZero4
- He is a good character. Loyal for a lot of reasons maybe, war, wants to be loved, etc...teh
- ukit20
Damn, Jimmy

- There was at the end I think, Angela's lez friend coming out of the shower.CygnusZero4

It seems like the last episode has set up an arc where Jimmy's fuse finally gets lit.
Consider all of the danger he currently faces: He's ordered two failed assassination attempts on parties who will likely return his favor. His weakening grasp on the city's liquor trade has his investors and henchman seeing blood. I'm also seeing some gears spin in Eli's head.
Driving cases of whiskey himself to the next town over eerily felt more like a epilogue than the portrayal of a young turk's criminal ascendency.
The natural response seems to be one of aggressive reassertion.

I dont know if Jimmy can hack it. He seems like he still needs direction from someone like his dad, Nucky...very much a loose cannon type and they usually never last.
- He does have brains though he is a hot headRamanisky2
- I think his brains come from being with Nucky. Its almost as if he thinks WWND??!

Jimmy is going to be piiiiiiissed.

Love part when the lawyer says to Nucky he can get his case moved back to atlantic county due to medical hardship, and an angry Nucky holds up his injured hand and says, "What, from this?? This wouldn't even stop me from jerking off."
