Mob City: Prohibition, Organized Crime, and Cops Straggling the Rail



New York 1925 prohibition is in its zenith, the Great as only a few years a way and the city have an excessive number of violin players. This is home of young and hunger soon to be mob bosses such as Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel (Edward Burns) and Meyer Lansky. And let’s not forget replacement killers like Sid Rothman (Robert Knepper). 

Tow decades have passed Benjamin Siegel and Meyer Lansky (Patrick Fischler)has moved to their criminal operation to the west coast to the terrain of LAPD Detective Joe Teague (Jon Bernthal)and Mickey Cohen (Jeremy Luke) is its mob boss.  The first impression viewer get of Teague is that he is an honest cop trying to do his job. However, Teague has tied to the mob that he rather not develops yet and because of his ex-wife involvement with a sleazy has-been comedian, he opens the doors those ties to save her.

The Walking Dead Mid - Season Final: Was The Governor Death To Easy?

After viewing The Walking Dead mid-season final my first thought as that The Governor (David Morrissey) death, appear one of mercy than one of revenge. I am guessing that like many of viewers there was the pervert anticipation of seeing the governor as either meat for the walkers or as a shoveling huger eyed walker in a future episode. It did not happen. What we see is a mother revenging the death of her daughter on a man who fails in his promise to keep them safe and alive. I mean, shouldn’t he have been chewed on by the walkers a little bit to satisfy the blood lust he stirred in us when he cold bloodily beheaded harmless old Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson)?

The destruction of the prison was coming. We all know this to be true. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his band of survivors had remained there along enough for the zombies’ horde to grow large enough that come running them in time. If the governor has not arrived when he did would they have to discover the ‘feeder’? It is unclear whether the person feeding the rats wanted to destroy the survivors ability to live in the prison but the question of why do it at all still remains unanswered. 

Why destroy the safest place the group has found to live? Was it an act of revenge? Did one of the children think of the walkers were hunger animals? Just how sinister is the motive of the feeder and is he/she still in the group to be discovered in a future episode? Did the feeder give Rick’s daughter over to the walkers to save his/hers cowardly hide?

In additional, how is Carol (Melissa McBride)fairing on her own. Is still travelling alone? Has she formed or banded with another group? Will she be allowed return to the Rick’s group? Moreover, will Rick get the chance to tell Tyreese (Chad L. Coleman) that she killed his friends before he and Carol have a chance meeting on the road? Finally, where will the group go now? Now that the walkers are pushing more and more in their general direction, will Rick and his people find new shelter. The walkers travel like homing birds, so why head west. What is drawing them in that direction? 

The Walking Dead returns February 9, 2014 on AMC.
