Boardwalk Empire - Page 57

Margaret is such a waste of time and energy. Episode was really a drag, outside of the Chicago stuff, the Lansky/Luciano/Masseria/Rothstein stuff, and the crate scene (Richard attacking the guy was good, too). By the looks of next weeks preview, it looks like it's going to pick up (usually does with the last 2-3 episodes).

I want to see Richard lose his mind and kill everyone.

it would be great if he killed everyone on the show then himself and then it was over and turned out to be a dream in a snow globe of the kid from john from cincinati

did you get your power back yet?

I have switched my choice as most hated tv character. Dana in Homeland takes the cake.

if it keep up this way through the season finale I'll be right there with you.

Makes sense. She can't let Nucky find out she's preggo so it's leave or abort.
Interesting that they didn't show how Owen got whacked. I'm thinking the cop who accompanied him to NYC turned on him and Nucky.

^ maybe. Lucky also told Joe Nucky was making a move. He said something to him that we couldn't hear.

Yeah I assume Masseria had an ambush set up.

He wants to bang her, you didnt see that? I think you're right about the abortion. Unless she give Nucky a plug and calls the kid his. But he knows about her and Owen. He's gonna know its Owen's kid. That actually has some legs.


I thought his name was Chip. How on earth did they come up with that name?

His character is a bit too aggressive. Nobody is that hard edged.

I don't believe Lucky was in on Nucky's exact plan (whack him in bath house), but only from Nucky's speech requesting assistance. Masseria may've just upped his security. Who knows though, interesting they left that open. Maybe we'll find out.

By the way. If you just had a bomb blow up a few days ago, are you really going to open a crate at 3 am in your living room?

Gyp is the main villain. Short for "Giuseppe". Joe Masseria is his boss, and was a real guy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Masseria That's who Owen and the other guy were there to kill.

I feel like the next few seasons would be great if they went more into the chicago side of things then it already does...but we have to remember its called boardwalk for a reason...kind of sucks because from a history stand point doesnt the boardwalk seem less interesting then nyc or chicago as time progresses?

well part of the reason for the setting was that NY and Chicago had been done to death, and Atlantic City would be a different setting. Another big part of the story was that the real Nucky Johnson was a genuinely colorful character. Unfortunately, the fictional Nucky Thompson somehow ended up being dull as dirt, despite being played by a talented character actor, and most of the interesting characters are real people who were based in New York or Chicago.
