The Boardwalk Empire Thread

Thanks for the welcome…yeah I realize that the show is not 100 percent historically accurate, one being Nuckys last name being Thompson when it was really Johnson, just wanted to point out that when someone is referred to as the Black Hand it is just referring to the act of extorting someone which usually is associated with the mob. The actual Black Hand gang went to jail or were wacked by the time Masseria(and by Masseria) took power in NYC.

Ummm yea. Since ya new we kinda know the ‘facts’ an refer to a lot of the actual history… an we usually link it…like this.or this

so feel free to link ya history notes… we ramble an laugh our views of the show

Sorry didn’t feel the need to link my “history notes” and after going through this thread it seems like no one does except yourself one time when referencing Mickey’s character. It also seems like you might not have all the “facts” when talking about the rise of organized crime and the national crime syndicate or “the Commission”( not the start of the Mafia as you put it) in the US. For one Torrio doesn’t get killed and then Capone takes over. Torrio gets shot and critically wounded, which scares the shit out of him and then he retires to Italy with his family leaving The Outfit to Capone. Also Torrio was actually the person who gave Luciano the idea of creating the Commission in the first place. This doesn’t happen till years later than what we are seeing now(1923). We prob won’t see Capone and Luciano’s rise to power for another couple seasons, till after the Masseria/Marranzano(1931) and the North/South Chicago(1925) wars. This is all of course if the writers follow the actual history closer. We may see the next season take place a couple of years after this one like season 3 was to season 2.

Don’t mean to be rude but I’m a big history buff, especially that of the history of La Costra Nostra. And if you want references just google it.

Well

  • Dialog heavy episode

  • Nucky is round up those loyal n make sure everyone thats turning a cheek will pay

  • Jimmys mom… come on now… wow. I think we were already stomach turned from last year.

  • Still trying to figure out the path they are taking with Harrow… still my dude just guess they are trying to find grounding for him

  • Looks like mrs schroader is gettin tapped again… see how her emotions play out now…

When she was spanking the kid I’m all like… COME ON. My mom would have beat me with the kerosene can lady, HIT THAT KID.

Imma go out on a say i dont think she even knows the slightest thing when it comes to discipline… i can sum it up when she wanted to have a talk with nucky…

Kid creeps me out too. I had a dream last night that I was getting stabbed by a midget… I blame that kid.

jimmy’s mom is so hot :eek: hottest in this show.

Jimmy’s mom is okay. Finest thing in my eyes is Katey but she doesn’t enough screen time.

This episode was lacking in something…oh yea AL FUCKING CAPONE WAS NOT IN IT AT ALL. Fuck this stuff with margret and jimmy’s mom I wanna see capone take over chi-town already.

biggest turn off was Danziger riding van Alden. the way she was saying “daddy” was the same way Gillian was saying “baby.”

i’d rather have every future sex scene on the show just be Gyp Rosexy jerking off alone covered in blood than ever watch either of those scenes again. :wasted:

Kid is definitely a future Jeffrey Dahmer.

Man every time Margaret puts her hair down she transforms into a totally different woman. Her attractiveness goes up by 95%.

And Gillian is a sick sick woman. The previews trolled us into thinking Gyp was going to go on some Terminator shit.

This stuff with Jimmy’s mom is really really stupid. Thank god Gyp was there to smack around a priest or I might not have enjoyed this episode nearly as much.

jimmys mom is essentially getting everything that belonged to jimmy… remember the old guy that was friends with jimmys dad said she cant get jack cause everything was in his name…an no body has been produced. So as you seen this last episode she bout to get hers cause what can anyone say??

im still tryin to figure out the harrow story path… thats losing me. unless he is trying to have a family of his own

people liked harrow so theyre trying to give him some screen time but dont really have anything for him to do. maybe gillian gets busted for the murder or killed and harrow has to raise the boy.

This ep could have used some Van Alden

Kinda tired of seeing Jimmy’s Mom’s MILF flapjack tittays…she is a scary psychopath however. Damn, did not see that coming!

Loved how Harrow doesn’t even hesitate to tell that guy he will kill him and means it, just another day at the office.

Crazy Gillian… I wonder if this was her plan from the get-go?

Harrow is the perfect balance between being a soldier and a gentleman. Probably the only decent male character on the show. I think they’re trying to give Richard a happy ending and setting up Gillian’s demise in the process.

To be more blunt- The photograph was foreshadowing.

Gyp is going all out. I wonder how much damage he will do before being taken down like the rabid dog he is. He’s seriously and irredeemable scumbag on so many levels.

Although I now understand why he’s into the whole asphyxiation thing and his awkward relationship with women.

Me and the gf were talking about it, and I think Harrow is gonna off Gillian. He’d get the kid and the building, right?

I thought he didn’t kill women and children

But… somebody please just kill her :sad:

  • It was her plan the moment the commodore right hand man said YOU AINT GOT SHYT BITCH THATS JIMMYS SHYT… lol. You need a body or your short hunny… come on now fam we saw her set shyt in motion the MOMENT commodore got that stroke… yall saw the immediate 180.

  • i just need a bit more from harrow… i can co sign the happy ending just he is still affiliated. i know he gave his word to nucky but nucky still calls on favors regardless…

  • gyp is simply imo foreshawdowing the downfall of the ‘old order’. i loved his plea for his life an putting all chips on the table regardless… he knows he can’t run with the young pups… sorry that was just a great scene

“they got sumin an it doesnt include us…”

well fuccin done.

she keep neglecting that child he will do it… i just know it. ive think we have all seen exceptions to the ‘rules/morals’… he has witnessed her shytty selfish ways since the days of jimmy… he will off her if need be
