The shootout scene was quite absurd for a number of reasons. The one thing RD did a good job of in the first couple of seasons was limiting the amount of crazy shootouts and body coverups. Ray and co go into a building in the middle of the day and engage in a massive shootout with known mafia and walk out without being noticed. At most they'd hide one or two bodies in the first seasons and Ray mostly 'fixed' situations. They've hidden numerous bodies and Ray has killed numerous people this season while somehow keeping a low enough profile. I did LOL how he continued for an entire morning with a gunshot wound just taking care of business.

On a more positive note, I think as a character RD advanced more in the past 3-4 episodes than in the entire show up to that point. Liev did a great job in his role.

I was really disappointed that neither Black Irish or Connor got caught in the crossfires of the war w the Armenians. Hopefully next season the mafia's vengeful uncle comes by and starts whacking of the Donovans a la slasher film style. He kills one each week in hilarious fashion.

Just marathoned all three seasons.

Oy.

Uh, how does Terry mumble "Abbey" from his hospital bed in the last scene while his trachea is hooked up to a respirator?

because the show is horrible, thats why

Ha

Ya i just wanted to throw up a softball and see who was gonna smash it

Season 4 Episode 1 (NO SPOILERS) - The first episode of the new season has shown up online a week before the broadcast premier. Has it been a year? It's a good one. I'm right back in it.

really? it's on again? awesome

S4e1 had some Lynchian vibes to it

I could totally watch a Primm Chip spinoff show

cool, dling now. wanna see if Terry ****s Ray's wife

i liked the first episode. definitely a different vibe than usual for this show

was directed by Liev, he should do more of that

it was different.

not sure i like this new ray though

yeah i hope they stick with the new vibe this season. and more mickey pulling shady scams with random bizarro friends

Are we supposed to know who the girl with the nice tits on the porn dvd cover is? Why did the camera linger on her?

i assume just because the wife found out she has breast cancer

Still seems like Father Romero isn't just a priest, and something more subtle must be going on there. Can hope at least.

The plotline where Ray bailed out Mickey by abducting Belikov just felt so rushed to me (would have been more interesting than the stupid breast cancer plotline or all the Terry/Bunchy crap).

lol show is starting out just as stupid as it last stopped

I don't know, I'm liking it. Of course there is nothing else on right now.

The constant kidnapping every episode is getting kind of stupid.

Ep 2 this season was painful

Sugar Ray Leonard was the best thing sadly

Ep2 was really, really bad. Did you see Connor strutting around like he was yoked up or something? Everything involved in freeing Mick was so ridiculous.

man, that boxing was terrible!!

the movie southpaw had some very real looking boxing

So uh who is the Russian guy? I'm failing to recall that crappy storyline from the pool of crappy storylines in past seasons? Or did they just shoe horn some new Russian gangsters in out of the blue?

He must have got some hot mattress action

I think I've realized that the issue with this show is that it's two different shows.

The Ray stuff (especially with familiy) is intended to be very realistic and make the viewers to the point where you're concerned for their safety.

But the Micky stuff, while being some of the funniest and entertaining **** on the show, is so far from realistic. Micky is like the Ralph Kramden of robberies. He's pulling stunts that should have gotten him killed every week.

We can't be in one mindset for one character, but another has different rules.
