Fantastical Musings

I think Tommy gets the award for quote of the episode. I love it when he was like "I had a more elaborate plan to deal with Mosley, but then he spoke badly to my wife." Come on, you can't tell me that wasn't awesome. Tommy is such a G I can't even stand it! That smooth way he announced that he was going to kill Mosley was just so SMOOTH. This is why Cillian Murphy deserves all the acting awards. I certainly hope that the assassination plan goes off without a hitch. No one deserves to be killed more than Mosley. Did you hear that disgusting speech he made at Tommy's party? Did you see the way everyone reacted? Honestly, someone needs to put a bullet in his head. That character enrages me. I mean, I assume someone will deal with him because the PBs always defeat their enemies before the end of the season, and Mosley is not nearly as wiley as he thinks he is. All the same, I do have to agree with Lizzie: Tommy needs to stop getting into these "way o...

Can someone just please kill Mosley already????? Like, I DESPISE that guy. My hatred for him burns with the heat of 1000 suns. When he came up to Lizzie and was like "ha, ha, I slept with you when you were a whore," I wanted to punch him in the face! Honestly, I don't know how Tommy resisted the urge! Like, at every turn, this Mosley guy just thinks of more and more disgusting and insensitive things to say. Not to mention that he's sleeping with his own family members. Again, why has no one killed him yet??? I am truly baffled. Anyway, we have to move past Mosley because he wasn't even the most dramatic part of this episode. Like, I need to know, IS LINDA DEAD???? I've never been super invested in her as a character, but I want her to live! Honestly, I feel bad for Linda because she's in a really tough situation. She can't leave Arthur and she obviously isn't happy with him. What is she supposed to do? Of course, I didn't wan...

So, I'm just going to come out and say it. Everyone on this show is psychotic! Tommy, Arthur, the Billy Boys, everyone! As I watching this episode, I was just like "I can't believe they're doing these things. Why are they doing these things????" Oh, the DRAMA! First of all, Arthur is on the verge of having a full-blown meltdown, a la season 2. The way he killed that guy who was just talking to Linda was absolutely brutal! And to be quite frank, I totally understand why Linda wants to get away from him. I don't think we've ever seen Arthur be violent towards Linda, but being married to him certainly qualifies as an abusive relationship. On the same hand, we all know that Arthur genuinely has a heart of gold. He just happens to be severely messed up in the head. So, I don't really know who we're supposed to sympathize with as an audience. Speaking of abusive relationships, I don't like Tommy telling Lizzie that he owns her. Obviously, tha...

Ay yai yai, the DRAMA. Where do I even begin with all this DRAMA ? First of all, can I say that I don't think criminal gangs should sing? Like, the fact that the Billy Boys crucified  Bonnie Gold was bad enough, but did they have to introduce themselves by singing? I mean, there's psycho, and then there's psycho . And these guys make the Mafia last season look like boy scouts. Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt that Tommy will be able to deal with them, but I shudder to think of what's going to happen along the way. That explosive device at the beginning of the episode gave me some serious anxiety for starters. Also, I gotta say that I really felt for Lizzie in this episode. I mean, I think her personality is a good match for him, and she clearly loves him, but being Tommy's wife must be simply hellish .  Who can blame her if she finds the drugs, drinking, violence, paranoia, and emotional inaccessibility too much to bear? Plus, Tommy was actually kind...

If there's one thing we learned in this episode, it's that no one listens to Tommy. I can't say I know why that's the case. He's clearly the man with all the answers and a plan for everything. Plus, he's far and away the most attractive person on the show. Although, Arthur is giving him a run for his money with his new haircut. That is a lewk . I am a tad bit concerned about Tommy's suicidal tendencies and the fact the fact that he's hallucinating about his dead wife, but it wouldn't be Peaky Blinders if someone wasn't on the brink of a complete psychological breakdown, and it might as well be Tommy. Although, I have to say that he's almost disturbingly calm about losing all his money. He might be crazy, but he's got nerves of steel. Speaking of people with psychological problems, I'm concerned about Finn. He's obviously trying to live up to his older brothers, but a) he's not cut out for that lifestyle and b) the She...
