Boardwalk Empire

[Warner2BruceTD]

boring episode, but lots of 'setting of the stage' being done, so I can live with it

All caught up, feels good to be back in this thread.

Gillian is all kinds of creepy.

:cantfap:

Would still bang.

Edit: I wrote that mid episode. 0/10 would not bang. She gets more batshit every episode

Wow... way to kill the momentum from the last 3 weeks :smh:

Gyp Rosetti's name being dropped was the best part of this episode. If he's not in every episode until his death they're doing it wrong.

I don't know, I kind of appreciated them taking a step back from Rosetti and allowing the rest of the players to have their stories built (excluding Margaret of course). As great as Gyp is, if you focus too much attention on the "big bad" at the expense of the rest of the story, well, you're veering dangerously into Dexter territory.

I understand the thing with the AG but I could care less about Margaret fucking Owen again (if she winds up getting him killed I'll be pissed) or Jimmy's mom fucking his totally dull lookalike but not without some pointless platitudes about dreams I almost fell asleep during, which I felt made up the majority of the episode.

There has to be some kind of balance IMO... This episode had no feel of action rising at any point except for the part I mentioned earlier where it was hinted at that Gyp might have made a move to burn the Schroders to the ground and save us their pointless screen time.

Yeah I don't give a shit about either storyline myself, not how I would have used the extra runtime, but I did understand the need to de-emphasize Gyp for a minute to allow some other characters time to breathe. The problem with this show is the allotment of screen time is all out of wack. We need more of the interesting characters and less of the non-interesting ones, but the main protagonists all fall in the latter category. Nucky and Margaret are at the center of the story, and maybe that's the problem. They are not interesting, nor are the conflicts they are encountering. Viewers would much rather catch up with Capone, Richard, Chalky, Owen, Meyer, etc. every week.

+1 on Chalky

I don't know if I remember a scene he was in besides where they made the gay actor perform for them. Serious under-utilization of your talent right there.

He had the family story way back in episode 2, where he was trying to convince his daughter to give her hand to the light skinned boy. That was 6 weeks ago though. Gotta keep us up to date on this newfangled sex education program at the hospital, amirite?

If Margaret is going to have an affair with Owen then why did/do we have to go through all this shit with the doctor?

RICHARD HARROW IN THE HOUSE

 

[NAHSTE]

I was just trying to sound tough.

Oh, Richard.

Also, Gillian is a crazy fucking psycho bitch cunt.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I was dying at Gyp interacting with his over the top stereotypical italian family. They clearly don't take his shit and are probably the reason he beats up priests and kills 40% of the people he encounters.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

So is Richard Harrow making beer commercials?

I thought I saw him in a Guinness commercial, I must have rewinded the thing 100 times, so then I searched "Jack Huston Guinness" on youtube and this was the first video that comes up:

So is it him?

 

[wr50l]

I suspect he's going to suffer the same fate as Christopher 'this cocktail's called tequila' Moltisanti.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

It's him

what was the point of that tryst with Jillian and "James?" Maybe she starts taking fools out. Gyp is a damn nut case, cursing out Christ and what not. Nucky's a real f'ing softie, falling for Marg singing - fuck outta here! pretty interesting epi though.

She needed to have a body to get the house in her name. The fucking was prob just cuz she's a crazy cunt and was her way of coming to terms with his death

I thought she could've just declared him dead, but that makes sense too.
