[EXV603]

Should be on the PVR when I get home from work. Ive been waiting for this show after seeing all the previews the last few weeks on HBO.

[Ch28]

Watched the first episode and loved it

[twitchyzero]

oh sweet didn't know it was a scorsese work...will check it out. i like mr pink (always forgot his real name). wonder how similar this will be to the untouchables

[rslater]

Al Capone name drop was the best line

[EXV603]

^yeah... when the guy said that I was just thinking to myself the guy definitely worked his way up.

[nns]

Did I understand it right...Luciano felt betrayed by Nucky and everybody who attended that dinner, so he had them killed?

[Ch28]

oh sweet didn't know it was a scorsese work...will check it out. i like mr pink (always forgot his real name). wonder how similar this will be to the untouchables

Steve Buscemi!

How could you forget such a goofy name?!

[Ch28]

Did I understand it right...Luciano felt betrayed by Nucky and everybody who attended that dinner, so he had them killed?

Wrong :p

Chicago:

Colosimo was in charge of Torrio who was in charge of Capone.
Torrio had Colosimo killed b/c of his refusal of the liquor business.
Torrio takes over Colosimo's role and gives his area to Capone giving him his start to his rise of fame.

New York:

Rothstein (richest gangster in the country) is in charge of Lucky Luciano

New Jersey:

Steve Buscemi is in charge and looks like the distributor to the rest of the crew.

[Vansterdam]

DOPPPPE first episode

Torrio is the guy with the lazy eye, right? He was on the sopranos.

Good to see Omar from the Wire on this Show.

[Vansterdam]

hahaa yea omar is G

im hoping some big shit goes down next ep!

[nns]

The show is progressing at a snail's pace. They couldn't even kill Jimmy in the same episode. Even though I know better, I really want Jimmy to get killed. I'm not a fan of his character at all.

[gars]

it's a mini-series - stuff will happen, and you know it will get resolved... and it's not like lost where they will leave you hanging.

[Manic!]

I don't think it's a mini series.

[Ch28]

it's a mini-series - stuff will happen, and you know it will get resolved... and it's not like lost where they will leave you hanging.

This isn't a mini series. They've already been given the green light for a second season after the series premiere aired.

Posted on Sept 21st

On Tuesday, the network announced that it has renewed its new prohibition-era drama for a second season just one episode out of the can, MediaWeek.com (http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/content_display/news/cable-tv/e3i430e0ec60c443f099a03de4926b85baf) dishes. The show’s $18 million Martin Scorcese-directed pilot garnered 4.8 million viewers on Sunday to become HBO’s most-watched series premiere since Deadwood drew in 5.79 million views on March 24, 2004.

Boardwalk — which stars Steve Buscemi as 1920’s Atlantic City political boss Enoch “Nucky” Thompson — boasted additional plays at 10:15 PM and 11:30 PM, which actually scored 7.1 million total viewers for the night. The series even trumped the series premiere of vampire-themed ratings juggernaut True Blood, which drew just 1.44 million viewers when it debuted in Sept. 2008.

“All the ingredients aligned for this one, from [producers] Mark Wahlberg and Steve Levinson’s initial pitch, to Martin Scorsese’s enormous contributions as director and executive producer, to the genius of [executive producer] Terry Winter and the expertise of [producer] Tim Van Patten, to a stellar cast led by Steve Buscemi,” HBO’s President of Programming, Michael Lombardo, said in a statement. “The response from the media and our viewers has been nothing short of amazing.”

[nns]

You guys who like this show should go watch The Wire. I'd wager it's about 1000x better than Boardwalk Empire. That's not an exaggeration either.

[Vansterdam]

boardwalk is still in in character development

i hope some big shit goes down next ep

[westcoastgsr]

You guys who like this show should go watch The Wire. I'd wager it's about 1000x better than Boardwalk Empire. That's not an exaggeration either.

The Wire is hands down the best show ever!!!

I know so far Boardwalk Empire is moving slow...But they are setting everything up. Battlelines need to be drawn before shit goes down.

[mikemhg]

The Wire was easily one of the best shoes made, every episode had you hooked, and every scene had little suttle dialog between characters that was so well written and thought out.

[Lomac]

Found some copies of The Wire for cheap at HMV today. Thought of this thread and figured I'd give it a shot. Season 1, here I come!

I'm looking forward to seeing how they're going to pull off the Jimmy storyline in BE. I'm not a big fan of him but considering he's one of the main protagonists, I can't see them killing him off right away.

[Wongtouski]

You guys who like this show should go watch The Wire. I'd wager it's about 1000x better than Boardwalk Empire. That's not an exaggeration either.

Give it some time, I'm a big The Wire fan but this could shape up to be a very good show considering the money invested and the people behind it. I'm intrigued as to what they'll do with Capone, and I gotta stick to this since Mad Men only has one ep left, and this season has been bloody fantastic.

Which season of the Wire u like the most? I love Season 3.....Hamsterdam baby.

[mikemhg]

Season 1 was great, as was 3 and 4. Season 2 and 5 were great, but no my favorites.

[eclipseman]

Most of the dramas that HBO creates are all epic.

Sopranos, Entourage, Carnivale, The Wire, Band of Brothers, Boardwalk Empire, OZ...I'm sure there are tons more that I never bothered to watch.

[nns]

That Bureau agent is freaking messed up in the head.

Best part is when they killed all those guys in the lobby.

[rslater]

So true. That lobby scene was awesome. I think the Bureau guy just shows how Christianity was such a driving force behind prohabition.

[Harvey Specter]

Bureau agent looks creepy as fuck.

[Ch28]

bureau agent and his self flagellation ftl

i thought he was going to rub one out to the picture because he put a towel on the bed :mamoru:

[EXV603]

Last episode was entertaining... looks like the show is starting to pick up.

[nns]

I like how it's heating up. It took 8 episodes, but I'm finally looking forward to a new episode.

I think the writers purposely made Jimmy look incapable before, so that we could see how much he would grow. I want to see Jimmy and his war buddy destory Benny and Corky's crew.

[nns]

When Chalky pulled out those 2 .45s, it was like "Omar's back!".

Lucy is so ugly. I hope she gets killed.

[sliq]

Anyone know where I can stream this online?

Jimmy seems to have some of the best killing scenes in the series.

[gars]

Anybody still watching this? I'm liking the series more and more - it's really picking up.

[nns]

I still watch it.

I was hoping Lucy would die during child birth. Her character is just a classless, whoreish train wreck that needs to be purged from TV. I always fast forward through her scenes.

Margaret needs to get off her high horse. She has forgotten where she came from. Her constant criticism of the help is annoying; "there's children in the house" is some sort of BS reason she uses to complain about everything. Has there been a single episode where we haven't seen that furrowed brow of hers?

I want to see more of Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and the rest of the mob.

[vapour_lock]

i found it hard to get back into it after the long(?) offseason. anyone notice uncle june's guest appearance?!

I was honestly hoping Lucy would die as well

Margaret - I think they thought her character was too likeable in the first season, so they're giving people a reason to hate her a bit more. She's only saying "there's children in the house" because she's jealous of her hot maid.

I want to see more of Chalky White - but it looks like his character has gone quite quiet.

[Vansterdam]

from what happened last sundays episode i bet shits gonna go down soon

[trancehead]

just saw the finale. amazing

[rsx]

finale?? that was the season finale last night?

[Vansterdam]

lol wut?

Really, what the hell is wrong with the writers that compels them to write about this incestuous relationship between Jimmy and his mom?

Blech. :heckno:

[stuff99]

hot mom.

[Ron_Swanson]

noooo Jimmy!!

[Harvey Specter]

noooo Jimmy!!

so disappointed to see jimmy gone, michael pitt was a great actor who brought so much to this series but i guess some times writers have to make tough choices and kill off popular characters. I wonder what happens to his partner and his mom...can't wait for series 3 to start.

[nns]

Pretty disappointed with the season finale.

Seriously, Eli over Jimmy? Really?

The only upside to Jimmy's death is that we won't have to watch him and mom go at it again. Jeez, maybe she'll start messing up the grandson, Tommy. :heckno: :heckno:

[trancehead]

how often are main characters killed in a series? did not see this coming at all


and Tommy is the heir to the commodore's estate lol.

[Harvey Specter]

Supposedly Jimmy aka Michael Pitt was difficult to work with which would make sense why he was killed off so earlier in the series. And if the writers were looking for a shocking end, Nucky killing off Eli would have given most viewers the shock value, I still feel that Nucky and Jimmy made the show, lets see who steps up in place of Jimmy.

[stuff99]

OMGWTFBBQ

I agree completely. I hope in season 3 Rothstein, Luciano, and Capone characters develop more......

Obviously Nucky is a stone cold calculated killer, however, Steve Buscemi (spelling?) makes you like Nucky. I am always routing for Nucky to kick ass and make the other guys look like idiots.

Nucky fully realizes money and respect makes the world go round.

[Z3guy]

Is that a Bentley or Rolls Nucky rolls around in? baby blue, can you imagine how much his car stood out in the 1920s.

[StylinRed]

^^rolls


so i never watched this show but always wanted to check it out

bought the blu-ray of season 1 and fell in love and downloaded season 2

really loving the show


I hope Michael Shannons character isn't written out though, it seemed a little sudden though i guess that has to do with his superman filming?

Kelly Macdonalds character developed rather oddly imo i dont think they really showed the turn from humble housewife to grade-a bitch adequately

the whole situation with Jimmy his mom and dad was very Hamlet like and you could see it coming what a shame about the ending though him and Nucky are the crux to the show imo

side note im so glad Buscemi got this role he's perfect in it!, always enjoyed his acting even though they were really just bit parts

can't wait for season 3 shame its going to be soooo long until its out

[StylinRed]

Bump


Anyone watch the season opener?? as always a little bit slow but it would seem a nice story is developing this season

spoiler?

i dont like how they basically just ignored the fact that nuckys wife gave away all that property to the church... he just mentions it in one short line as if it wasn't a BFD

and where's nuckys brother? complete no-show in the season opener is a bit odd especially since he had a new years party

[Ron_Swanson]

Fuck yeah, mother fucker!

One of the best charterers for season 3 has to be Gyp Rosetti, love this sequence of scenes...

Boardwalk Empire - Gyp Rosetti in Tabor Heights [HD] - YouTube!

[StylinRed]

oh snap i forgot it was on today ah well


im not sure about gyp rosetti yet he seems to be overacted i just dont buy the character yet

[rsx]

Gyp's like that snap case from Animaniac's Goodfeathers lol

[nns]

Gyp is an insecure little bitch. It makes you wonder how a person like him could rise to a point of leadership. I wouldn't want to follow him into his dumb fights.

I wish they should show more of New York.

Van Alden needs to break bad, but his damn morals are still in the way.

Next weeks episode looks to be full of action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzkOheDJcVA

[Harvey Specter]

Another epic sequence of scenes, this season is turning out to be great so far...

Boardwalk Empire - Al Capone lays a beating - YouTube

[StylinRed]

yeah it was a good episode

but
I was hoping Nucky was going to hire the kid and use him as a spy and eventually go against Owen Slater in terms of running things for Nuck

I felt it was too easy and weak for the writers to have Nucky kill the kid to make a point to Owen instead

[nns]

Capone laid down a fantastic beating. A quality beating on par with Joe Pesci's pen attack in Casino.

That kid couldn't be relied on. He lied about his age and the fact that he doesn't smoke. He barely knows Nucky and he's already lying to the guy? Can't be trusted.

[Matsuda]

also I think Nucky did it to send a message, don't cross him cause he has no problems to killing your ass

[twitchyzero]

just finished season 2..so far i'm liking this show

best scene so far :lol
the judgment of the wicked - YouTube

[nns]

Imagine if Van Alden and Gyp met, lol.

They wasted time with the whole Billie Kent BS, but made up for it with some nice dialog between AR and Nucky. Rare to see AR show frustration or anger.

This show would be awesome if all they showed was the NY/Chicago/AC angles. No one cares about Margaret. I wonder why they bothered filing the serial numbers off the gun, it's not like CSI NY was invented yet. The police are so corrupt/incompetent, Bugsy has hardly anything to worry about if he tossed the gun after.

[rsx]

Yeah fuck Margaret and her health clinic.

[MarkyMark]

Yeah they really need to phase out those boring ass scenes with Margaret I really lose interest in most parts she's on the screen.
Posted via RS Mobile

[StylinRed]

man that last ep was a snooze fest

[nns]

The ending was good.

[StylinRed]

^^ yeah but i didnt even care at that point it was just like "great a min of interesting now roll the damn credits please"

[FerrariEnzo]

watched the first episode.. i hope it gets better... wasnt too impressed...

[StylinRed]

zzzzz

[Ron_Swanson]

^^ yup.

moar Nelson Van Alden and Capone plz.

[604STIG]

Less Margaret, more anything else.

[nns]

What a garbage episode.

Jimmy's mom, can somebody please kill her? Her mental problems are so boring and annoying to watch.

Was anybody else annoyed by Shooter McGavin's boyfriend having a breakdown during his speech? The guy was being a total pussy over, what was it, stealing?

Margaret will use anybody, whenever she pleases. I hope she dies too.

The promo for next week has more of Jimmy's mom and her shit. ragefaceeeeeeeeeeee

meh i've gotten tired of the 60+ minutes of pandering to women viewers and 5-10mins of something interesting per episode

[ForbiddenX]

^Same here, it's getting really boring.

I do agree with you guys, the first 2 seasons were much much better. I just dont think its the same without jimmy

Show died when they off'd Jimmy.

[Harvey Specter]

Too many love stories and triangles but shit got a bit hectic at the end of the last episode so lets see what happens. And I feel like another main character is going to get whacked before the season ends but not sure who...

Either one of Rosetti or Masseria will be off'd

Future spoiler: In real life, Masseria was killed by Luciano.

Someone will definitely get whacked before the season ends.

Enjoyed the most recent episode, Van Alden's freak out at work was pretty kickass and I didn't really expect the explosion at the end. More scenes like that, less Margaret/Gillian.

[604STIG]

When will they off Margaret already? Worst character and storyline on the show. And agreed, the show took a real sharp turn for the worst when they did in Jimmy.

[StylinRed]

Wow this episode has so far been far more interesting than all the previous eps

aw man i should reserve judgement til the end getting lame again


yep yep wasn't bad


I think Nucky is going to kill margaret and the irishman at the end of the season

[Harvey Specter]

What character do you guys think will get whacked this season and basically axed from the series?

[nns]

Realistically, Gyp. Masseria next, most likely.

People who I want to die, but probably won't: Gillian, Margaret, and Margaret's creepy son.

I have to disagree about the last episode. I thought it sucked like the 3 or 4 that came before it. The pace is too slow. The whole episode I wanted to see whether or not the other crews would band together and fight Masseria/Gyp together. Waited till pretty much the end of the damn episode, and was left disappointed. I swear, the writers are tricking us into watching the boring shit, just to see the half interesting scraps.

You know how you sometimes loathe a character so much, that it makes you feel almost the same way about the actor/actress behind that character? That's about how I feel about Margaret and Gillian right now.

[Harvey Specter]

^

I totally agree with Margaret, she's boring and throughout the series she hasn't really done much except for trying to achieve personal goals and Margaret's son is an odd character but I suspect he's going to do something really unexpected because I don't see why else the writers would be make us focus on him like they have.

[rsx]

I thought the latest episode was pretty good. The post-concussion effects made for real tense dialogue.

[wingies]

Fuck I wanted all the bosses to team up and take out gyp/masseria that would be epic.

And am I the only happy for Harrow to finally find a girl? lol

[Harvey Specter]

Lol, I think Harrow's going to go into serial killer mode when the girl leaves.

[wingies]

sigh another boring episode except for like the last minute as always

cant believe owen is dead now. Nucky definitely needs harrow on his team

[Z3guy]

^ I think you are right, with Owen gone (I liked his character), I think Harrow is going to step in take over Owen's role.

I think the Margaret is going to do something stupid now.......

[wingies]

But the only way harrow will turn into fullon killer is if sth happened to tommy or his new gf. Maybe nucky will do something behind the scenes and manipulate him somehow

[604STIG]

Harrow won't side with Nucky, he's the one that killed Jimmy.

[Harvey Specter]

Call me crazy but I think Harrow might take out Jimmy's mom.

[604STIG]

Hey Crazy, I could see it happening.

[wingies]

Me too, after the talk from his gf about how every boy need a father and Jimmy's mom been treating him like shit.
Posted via RS Mobile

[nns]

That wouldn't be crazy, that would be fantastic.

Next episode looks to be good:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y-wzGSz7uE

[wingies]

Oh man, best part of that promo is seeing harrow mounting up! hes been out of action too long

[kristianhay]

Was kind of surprised they killed off Owen, but I couldn't see the two "running away" as the way that both characters leave the show.

Next episode looks great! That's the Boardwalk Empire we all want to watch, none of this sappy, boring bullshit. Definitely looks as if the Harrow is ready to murk Gillian from the promo as well, so I think that's a pretty good guess. Looking forward to seeing some good ol' gun fights.

[Ron_Swanson]

nice... can't wait. it's Harrow time.

[Ch28]

Oh man! Can't believe they didn't even show Slater get off'd. I liked his character :(
Posted via RS Mobile

[wingies]

I know, I felt that they at least owed thta to the viewers

One of my favorite scenes with slater, lol fucking gory

boardwalk empire - Owen Slater bathroom kill - YouTube

[nns]

Best episode of the series. No exaggerations.

Nucky got some nice kills in the beginning. I bet it was a shocker for him to see how little power and loyalty in others he actually has.

Props to Chalky for being a standup guy throughout.

Next episode looks even better:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkjbZtClf_k

[Ch28]

The ending with Eli & Capone was fucking awesome!

"We've been on the road for 18 hours. I need a bed, some chow, and then you and me sit down...and we talk about who dies" *smirk*

[Ron_Swanson]

Man... season finale already :okay:

Harrow looks crazy in that preview. I really hope he doesn't get off'd this season...

and this was the best episode this season because no margaret :fullofwin:

[kristianhay]

Finally the Boardwalk Empire we all love. Great action, suspense and story throughout this episode. As stated above, that last line of Capone's was fucking awesome.

[604STIG]

I was ready to write off the entire show because it's been so mind numbing this season. This episode brought the show back to life. Awesome line at the end with Capone, and a BIG PLUS to no Margaret this episode.

[wingies]

I agree with you all, holy shit capone came out like a boss!

harrow looks like he gonna fuck shit up! probalby kill all of gyps men in the brothel

[Harvey Specter]

Shit's going to go down in the finale.

[Matsuda]

oh man the finale is going to be goood

[Ch28]

https://i.minus.com/ib0ZDMB64EW5MG.gif

[604STIG]

Now I wanna grab a cigar.

[SaviorSelf_666]

If Harrow gets off'd imma be pissed.

[StylinRed]

just watched it.... finally, now that the season is over the show becomes watchable.... :seriously:

and i thought that ending scene with Capone was cheesy; im surprised it's a popular one

cant believe we gotta wait a year again for more episodes (after the next one) hope it wont be 10 more snoozefest episodes and a couple good ones

[nns]

They could've done so much more with Van Alden. I was waiting for him to get mobbed up and start killing people for a living.

I think people liked that scene with Capone at the end, not just because of how he was protrayed, but also because it meant that Nucky now had a fair chance of fighting back. Probably goes without saying, but worth the reminder.

[nns]

When Gillian walked into the room and up to the tent, I thought Gyp was in there. It makes sense, he's completely crazy.

Even though it was nice to see Harrow kill people, the whole scene seemed so implausible. Almost every guy Harrow saw, he got the 1st shot off on. For the few guys on the staircase who shot at Harrow first, they all missed. At one point, Harrow is literally standing there and just firing at every guy looking at him. It's like they all circled around him waiting for their turn to get killed.

We never found out what Capone got out of the whole deal.

[stuff99]

You guys complaining about how the show is boring until the end of season has no patience for drama and build up.

[nns]

^Whatever, bro. If you like shows that move at a sloth-like pace, with a supporting cast that is arguably far too big, and subplots that go nowhere, then I'm sure the wait was worth it for you.

I don't need action every episode to be entertained. I do need to see interesting and relevant storylines that match the genre of the show.


And by 'bro', I mean never my bro.

[bakasam]

I think Capone's deal is probably involves a plan to take out Torio (sp?) and letting him run the show. He always wanted to "make it big" sorta thing

[The Hype]

I think Capone's deal is probably involves a plan to take out Torio (sp?) and letting him run the show. He always wanted to "make it big" sorta thing

Earlier in the season I thought Capone would usurp Torrio, and take him out. What the show has shown us is that after Torrio came back from Italy, he literally just wants to relax. From the looks of it he's already letting Capone handle just about everything anyway.

i enjoyed the finale but this time it felt like they tried to stuff too much into it and end unique points too quickly like Luciano, and Rothstein getting the upper hand on Nucky only to have it taken away with 1 phone call

but it was a good episode, the part with Harrow was a bit fantastical he should have at least gotten shot and preferably critically shot with his final scene being the part with him taking the kid to safety (maybe that will still happen?)


I had it dvr'd and it stopped recording before the show ended, did anything happen after Nucky was pulling a smoke out at the boardwalk? it cut out right when a couple asked him if he was Nucky

[nns]

What you missed and what it meant:
This season, the series entered more depressing and psychological territory, and it's likely that Thompson will continue to develop into a more introspective and guarded character, rather than the showy and complacent honcho he once was.

In the end, we see a different Nucky on the same old boardwalk. He has "won," eliminated a volatile enemy and check-mated his most powerful rival. He's back in control of Atlantic City, but he yearns for a certain anonymity. He ditches his signature boutonniere, and declines the doormen at the Ritz.

As he puts it, "I don't want anyone knowing who I am. I don't want anyone looking into my business. I don't want anyone coming near us who we don't already trust."

[StylinRed]

there was a rerun last night that i recorded so i got to see it finally, really nice scene

[stuff99]

^Whatever, bro. If you like shows that move at a sloth-like pace, with a supporting cast that is arguably far too big, and subplots that go nowhere, then I'm sure the wait was worth it for you.

I don't need action every episode to be entertained. I do need to see interesting and relevant storylines that match the genre of the show.


And by 'bro', I mean never my bro.

You're probably the same people that thought Sopranos was boring.

[bloodmack]

Boardwalk empire first season was slow as balls, but the second season picked up really quickly. I'm on ep 8 of the 2nd season and i started it last week. the first season took me a couple months to get thru it all.

[nns]

Wait till you get to season 3. And I don't say that in a good way.

[bloodmack]

fuck, im on the season finale of season 2 right now lol

[wingies]

Anybody catch the return of boardwalk?

[bbbj]

Anybody catch the return of boardwalk?

Ya, solid season opener. There is a scene that reminds me of Magic City, if anyone watches that as well =D

[trancehead]

i liked it

[Ch28]

Love Magic City! Too bad their seasons are so god damn short!

It was a solid opening episode. Can't go wrong with titties and murder :ilied:

[StylinRed]

was pretty bored with the opener myself /shrug

[kristianhay]

Has anyone been watching this season? Not sure if I should spend the time watching it if it's no good.

[StylinRed]

I've been watching it its enjoyable not as boring as some other seasons have been for their first halfs
dont really know where they're going with it though

[wingies]

Yea this season seems alright, progresses much better then last one. Glad to see more of Al Capone tho

[Z3guy]

the first few episodes are not action packed, but it seems like they are building good groundwork for some serious action coming up (FBI in Nucky's operation, and Van Alden working for Capone, etc.)

[nns]

I really enjoyed the character of Frank Capone. It's a shame he died.

Don't much care for Eddie's death.

I don't know why Van Alden walks around like he's afraid of his own shadow. What happened to the confidence?

I still hate Gillian. It was rather nice to see that her physical appearance finally reflect her inner disgusting self. I hated how she tried to be so proper, when we all know she's a bottom bitch.

Great to see Margaret fucked off somewhere else. That hypocritical, uppity bitch and her little Charlie Manson-looking, creepy ass son.

[K.Dubz]

Damn last Sunday's episode was intense, thought Chalky White was going to die and yet another prominent character getting killed off.

Wonder whats going to happen to the Dr

[Lomac]

What's your guys opinion on the show so far? I tried watching the first season on TV when it first came out and lost interest about halfway through. It's weird because I love period shows, especially those surrounding the prohibition, but something about it made me just made me lose interest. Worth picking up the season discs and trying again?

[trancehead]

^def worth it.

i love the dialog, and the humour is a bit darker.

although there are historical characters and events with a twist at times, it gives a good introduction to them at the very least. ie, i did not know who arnold rothstein was prior lol

[Harvey Specter]

I like how they're building up Chalky and his environment. I'm not a big fan of the undercover fed, I find his character to be annoying. Overall this seasons starting to pick up but I doubt it'll be better than last season, Bobby Cannavale was epic.

[nns]

Nice episode last night. Van Alden delivered.

I find if you stick through the first half of the season it starts to pick up. I lost interest in it to but I ran out of things to watch and decided to give this another go.

[kev1n9121]

nucky/richard combo is gonna be gooooooood :fullofwin: was sort of upset they didn't do much with richard this season but im sure things are definately gonna pick up now

[wingies]

haha when i knew richard was gonna join up with nucky im like :awwyeah:

finally van alden manned up and turned into the badass he once was

[StylinRed]

Yea it was a good episode (just saw it)

Loved the talk early on between Nucky and Chalky

[kev1n9121]

definately anticipating a richard harrow shoot out now :fullofwin:

[wingies]

that was a solid episode, haha i was not expecting harrow to be a garbageman at the club.

[Harvey Specter]

Shits getting serious with the season finale right around the corner.

[nns]

Harrow is not a garbage man, he's a dishwasher.

After the shootout @ Capone's place, he's like "Good thing Johnny wasn't here" or something like that. Then Van Alden said something that made me think Torrio was behind the shooting. I guess Torrio is not comfortable with how much Capone is inserting himself into the business.

I had the same thought too but the show likes to follow historic events. Pretty sure there's going to be a war with O'Banion's gang

[trancehead]

Isn't this what we do?

[nns]

I had the same thought too but the show likes to follow historic events. Pretty sure there's going to be a war with O'Banion's gang

O'Banion still has a gang? He's dead. When they first showed Capone in the last episode, weren't they divvying up what used to be O'Banion's territory, the north side?

[T4RAWR]

Holy shiettttttttt

[trancehead]

compared to the previous episode, this one was a snore
setting up the finale...

[Harvey Specter]

I'm starting to think that Nucky might get arrested in the finale and next season opens up with him in prison or getting out of prison. And I wonder if they kill off another main character, maybe Chalky?

[Z3guy]

I wonder what is going to happen between Chalky and Nucky now? I hope Chalky finds out Nucky didn't double cross him.

The most interesting storyline for me right now is what Capone is going to do......

[nns]

Van Alden's storyline definitely got more interesting too. I want to see where Capone and him go.

I also want to see Luciano kill Masseria, then take over.

[kev1n9121]

are you fucking kidding me...:okay:

[Ron_Swanson]

:(

[trancehead]

shit

[rsx]

goooood episode =(

[StylinRed]

aww what a weak ending for two face and the mama-san but im glad that storyline was ended

:notbad: ep

[wingies]

that was a solid season finale, damn cant wait to see what happens.

[nns]

The tag-team killing duo of Eli and Van Alden.

[StylinRed]

This coming season will be the last for Boardwalk

Season 4 Of "Game Of Thrones" Finally Has A Launch Date (http://www.buzzfeed.com/jacelacob/season-4-of-game-of-thrones-finally-has-a-launch-date)

In other HBO-related news, the network announced the upcoming fifth season of Boardwalk Empire will be the show’s last.
“We’re thrilled to get the go-ahead for a fifth season of Boardwalk Empire,” said executive producer/co-creator Terence Winter in a statement. “After much discussion with my creative team and HBO, we’ve decided to wrap up the series after such a great run and look forward to bringing it to a powerful and exciting conclusion.”
So pour one out for Nucky Thompson and Co.

[kev1n9121]

going to be an interesting and fast final season. quite upset it's ending so soon

[StylinRed]

Season premiere was last night, anyone catch it? i watched it but i don't know don't really feel interested or drawn into it even though it was an alright ep

[Ch28]

There seemed to be way too much fast forwarding of the story without enough backfill.

Meyer shows up and the only mention of Rothstein's death was "since AR's funeral"?! I always thought AR as a pretty big supporting character, so to have his death mentioned like that seemed kind of shitty.

Interested to see how they play Luciano's story because that seems to be one of the interesting ones.

[nns]

They only have 8 episodes this season so they don't have a lot of screen time to work with. That said, I think they're wasting it by going into Nucky's past. Not saying it's not interesting. Just that I'd rather see more present day stuff.

I like Nucky's new bodyguard.

[rsx]

This season feels extremely rushed

[wingies]

very annoyed they took out AR just like that, he was a major contender in the storyline imo

[StylinRed]

a 7yr jump from last season is insane!

and there's only 8 eps this season? geeez

i understand its the final season but that's because i thought they had a plan to wrap up the story and not the attitude they seem to have of "oh no its the last season lets chop this up!"

[StylinRed]

Good episodes so far, shame they're rushing it like hell :/

thought the ending for Chalky was lame though

[nns]

I think this whole season has been underwhelming. The flashbacks they're showing should've introduced earlier in the series, not the last season. Especially with only 8 episodes, they need to focus on the present.

[Ch28]

Chalky's ending was lame!

I enjoy these flashbacks because it brings Nucky and Gillian's story full circle. I was always wondering how Jimmy came about, so I enjoy it quite a bit. It's a shame they had to put that in during the final season with only 8 episodes, though.

I'm also loving all the screen time they're doing on The Commission. It'd be so awesome if HBO did a series on Al Capone and his rise, or a more in depth look at Luciano's rise to be the biggest crime boss in history.

[ForbiddenX]

Yea I agree with Chalky's ending. Was hoping he would go out with more of a bang.

The wire spoiler
Kind of how omar got killed by that kid :( lol

That would actually be a pretty sweet series about Al Capone and Luciano. Maybe they're just trying to wrap up all of the more fictional stuff with Atlantic City?

[CL typeS]

solid episode, cant believe next week is the series finale

[kev1n9121]

sad it's over. it was one of the more enjoyable tv shows for me. but justice for killing off jimmy darmody :fuckyea: killed with the same shot to the face

[MikeyStyle]

didn't know what to expect for the last episode.. but definitely wasn't expecting that

going to miss the show, loved it

[StylinRed]

meh ending

[CL typeS]

I had no idea what happened in the real history of the prohibiiton, so I expected Nucky to use the stock funds he earned to buy Capone and his men to fuck up Luciano and Meyer lol

[Jayboogz]

the last season was stupid. i didnt really like when they went back in time on nuckys come up.... felt pointless and a waste of show time. lol ah well it was a good show but the ending really blew chunks.

[nns]

Commodore was such an asshole. Young Nucky should've shit in the guy's soup.

The season ended with a wimper. Fits the tone of the rest of the series. It did not leave me wanting more, again, just like the rest of the series.

[StylinRed]

I had no idea what happened in the real history of the prohibiiton, so I expected Nucky to use the stock funds he earned to buy Capone and his men to fuck up Luciano and Meyer lol

the guy Nucky is based on was also brought up on tax evasion charges (which could probably last a season on its own) and died in his mid 80's at a seniors home in the late 1960's

Enoch L. Johnson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_L._Johnson)

so i was surprised they killed him in the show even though it was clear they were leading up to that this season

if they were willing to stray that much from the facts anyhow i'd rather see Nucky take out Luciano and Lansky too ;)
