I enjoyed Season 2 immensely. I liked the further development of the characters. Like you I was sad to see Knucky cross that line. I also liked learning Dhormerty's backstory. For the life of me why Knuck chose Manny the Butcher over the kid I'll never know. It'll be interesting to see what Mask Man does now that Jimmy's gone. Van Alden is a hoot. I NEVER expected him to go Jason Bourne and them skip country. You're right though. His only option left is to go into organized crime. Why the hell not, he was robbin' and killin' like the rest of em. I already knew that Cicero is Capone's later headquarters but the Agent, even in the pre-internet days, has to know that the Feds are gonna keep comin' after him.

The Collen is truly niave if she thinks Knucky wouldn't kill a priest or HER for that matter to get what he believes is his. She truly does NOT who or what she's dealing with... A british friend of mine on another board asked me if BWE was an "American Production". He felt that the story, acting, sets and detail were too good to have come from this side of the pond. He obviously has no idea how much we lover a mobster saga. Not as good as
"The Wire"[ or "The Soprano's" but not too shabby either.
